Prayer before surgery
Before any operation, prayer to the Lord God is mandatory for every believer. First of all, it will allow you to calm down and instill hope for a successful outcome. One of the most powerful is the short prayer below. It can be started within a few days before surgery, as well as immediately before surgery.
Due to its simplicity, the prayer text is very easy to remember; it reads as follows:
“Lord our only God, Jesus Christ the savior of the human race! On the day of my physical test, aimed at fighting the threatening illness, I completely trust You, body and soul. Save and help, don’t let filth take over my body, drive away troubles and misfortunes from me, don’t let infirmity fill my body, help me survive the operation and rise safely after the operation. Help my doctor do everything right, and let his hand not tremble. Lord Almighty, send Your mercy upon me. Forgive all my voluntary and involuntary sins, but all those committed through foolishness and direct me to the true path. Don't let me sleep forever. Amen!"
Everyone knows that a mother’s prayer is particularly powerful. It is able to protect a child, regardless of his age, from any misfortunes and diseases. It is important to pray for your children every day, but you can do this at any time. A mother’s sincere prayer to the Lord God will definitely be heard and help for the child will come at the right time.
For daily prayer for children, you can use the following prayer:
“Great and Almighty, Lord Almighty, You are the source of gifts and mercy for all living people. Goodness comes from You, and You give us sinners hope. I am a mother and I thank You for experiencing the feeling of motherhood. I pray to you for the well-being of my children, I diligently bow down and sincerely repent of my sins. You, the Almighty, gave life to my children and accepted them with holy baptism, so that they would follow the righteous path and reach the Kingdom of Heaven. Save and protect my children with your goodness until the end of their days. Only You are true, hallowed be Your name. Help me, Lord, to raise them according to Your commandments for the glory of Your name and for the benefit of everyone. Grant me, Lord, patience and strength, so that I can always understand and forgive my children. Great Lord, enlighten them with the good light of Your Wisdom, put sincere love into their souls. Let fear and aversion to any lawlessness be born in their souls and hearts. Decorate, Lord, with chastity and honesty of their souls. Protect them from slander and unfair slander. Deliver them from vanity and all abomination. May my children excel in virtue and holiness, love and piety. Direct your Guardian Angel to them so that he is with them every minute. And if it happens that my children have to sin in this life, do not turn away from them, Lord. Be merciful to them, accept their sincere repentance and cleanse their souls. And after that, guide me on the true path and protect me from the temptations of the world around me. Deliver my children from troubles and sorrows, from grief and illness and from various dangers. Grant me joy and joy from the well-being of my children. Amen".
Prayer for work
Good work is an important condition for a person’s well-being and success in modern society. Therefore, it is understandable that each of us dreams of receiving a profitable offer, but, unfortunately, this is not always possible. Profitable vacancies are sold out very quickly. In addition, the realities of our lives are such that it is easier to lose a job than to find one.
A strong prayer to the Lord God can help you find a good job. But it should be remembered that it will be heard only if there is sincere faith in the soul of the praying person, and he is confident that his prayer will be heard.
You need to retire to a separate room, light a church candle and sit in front of the icon of Jesus Christ. First you should read the Lord's Prayer.
And then you need to pray using the following prayer appeal:
“Lord God, Heavenly Father! I am asking you to help me find a job for my soul and for my own well-being. For the benefit of all people and for your glorification, I dream of realizing all my natural talents. I pray to You, Almighty, make sure that my new job not only brings me a good income, but also brings me incredible joy. So that I can find solace in her and be able to benefit everyone. Amen".
It is very important, after reading such a prayer, to repent of your known sins, and also to ask God for forgiveness for the fact that you may have committed unknown sinful acts out of your ignorance. This can be done in any form. The main thing is that all words of prayer are sincere and come from the depths of the soul.
Prayer for marriage is a very important prayer request. This is due to the fact that it is aimed not only at the organization of an individual destiny, but at the general well-being of the family and its prolongation.
“Oh, All-merciful and All-merciful Lord! I sincerely believe, glorify your deeds, fulfill your holy will in everything and know that you are Holy and Almighty. My personal earthly happiness depends only on you. So I surrender myself completely to your control. My God and my Creator fill my heart, know that I want to please only you alone. Save me from pride and selfishness, let modesty and chastity become my main adornments, and let reason be a constant companion in my life. Idleness is a sin, so grant me hard work and bless my labors for good. Your law commands earthly people to live in an honest marriage, so I ask you to lead me to this title to fulfill Your destiny. You, the Almighty, yourself created a wife for man as a helper, blessed the family and so that people would grow and multiply and populate the earth. I humbly pray to you about this with all my girlish heart. I ask you to grant me an honest and pious spouse, so that we can live together in love and harmony, so that we glorify You, the All-Merciful God. Amen".
Prayer from evil and enemies
The modern world is incredibly cruel. You can often encounter envy and hatred there. This kind of negativity can cause great harm. Therefore, the question of how to protect yourself with the help of prayer interests many.
A powerful prayer goes like this:
“Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, Savior of all people. I ask you to protect me, Your servant (my own name), from the sight of unkind and hostile thoughts. I ask you to protect me from human malice and black envy. And if I failed to protect myself, then cast out terrible curses, induced damage and the evil eye from my soul. May my path in life be cleared of all evil and all infection. Make sure that I do not suffer from illnesses because of unkind people, do not experience pain, persecution and vegetation. Lord God, All-Merciful, forgive me all my sins, grant me Your good forgiveness. Amen!"
Listen to the prayer “Bless the Lord, my soul”:
Prayers of thanksgiving to the glory of the Lord for help and intercession
It is imperative to thank God through prayers for his help and intercession. For this purpose, special prayers of thanks are used.
Text of thanksgiving prayer
You can thank the Lord at any time with these simple prayer words:
“Lord, I thank You for my good life, filled with bright light, for the fact that there are wonderful feelings in my soul, for the fact that I can show mercy and compassion to others. I praise You and thank You for the fact that by listening to Your instructions I realize all my most cherished dreams. I thank You for the fruitful path in life You have sent me and for the opportunity to fulfill my destiny. I am grateful to You for the fact that a calm atmosphere filled with love and mutual understanding reigns in my family, for the fact that only sincere and kind people come to my house. I thank You for all the blessings that You give me in this life. I enjoy life and accept the world around me with an open soul. I believe that you will help me follow the right path and fill me with your great wisdom. Amen".
What is the essence of the prayer of gratitude?
Gratitude expressed to the Almighty in a prayer text is like a ray of light that drives out darkness from the soul. You can not only pray yourself, but also order a thanksgiving prayer service in the temple.
A prayer of thanksgiving always has a cleansing character. After it, a person gets rid of anger and hatred. With a prayer of gratitude, the believer always affirms that he has learned the lessons sent down by the Lord and made the right conclusions. In a prayer text with a gratitude focus, attention is always focused on the fact that a person thanks God for the gift of life and the world around him that God created.
Thankful prayer texts are offered not only for the generosity received in life, health and well-being. You should definitely give thanks for God’s wrath and possible punishment for your sins. It should be understood that the sorrows of life sent by God are a test for a person, but it always opens the way to the salvation of the soul.
Which saints are praised?
Prayers of thanksgiving are read to various saints. In this case, you need to listen to your intuition to choose the right prayer. Prayers to the Guardian Angel are especially popular.
One such prayer goes like this:
“I, the Servant of God (my own name), turn with gratitude to my protector, appointed by God, my Guardian Angel. I kneel and thank the heavenly angel for his support in the most difficult life situations. I thank him for constantly interceding for the forgiveness of my sins, committed through thoughtlessness. I offer words of gratitude for the fact that he is always present with me in both troubles and joys. Amen".
Very often prayers of thanks are read to the Most Holy Theotokos and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. It should be understood that before making a request or prayer to any of the Saints, it is imperative to offer a prayer of gratitude.
Not a single person on earth can consider himself absolutely sinless. The Bible says that all people on earth are sinners, and each of us must admit this. Therefore, it is imperative that God forgive one’s known and unknown sins. It is very important to remember that prayer of repentance must come from the depths of the soul.
Any prayer of repentance directed to the Lord is essentially a humble repentance for what has been done. Our life is inevitably filled with sin and it is because of this that we deserve eternal punishment. But God is Merciful, so we can ask for repentance, after which he will forgive our sins and give us hope for the Kingdom of Heaven.
Any prayer of repentance always contains confirmation that we realize that God loves people, because he is their Creator. As proof, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to earth, who revealed the truth to humanity. Having lived a sinless life, Jesus experienced terrible torment and died crucified on the cross, having suffered punishment for all the sins of people.
Prayer for forgiveness of your sins
The best prayer of repentance is the one that is filled with sincerity and comes from the depths of the soul. At the moment of repentance, a person must necessarily realize his sinfulness and have spiritual hope that all sins will be forgiven by the All-Merciful Lord. You can turn to God with repentance in your own words; special words are not required. You just need to ask the Lord to forgive you your sins. If this is a sincere wish, then the Almighty will definitely hear you.
One of the most powerful prayers is the following:
“I, the Servant of God (my own name), entrust my own body and soul into the hands of You, Lord. I trust everyone in Your great mercy. All my deeds and feelings are visible to you, I open my whole soul and hide nothing. I understand that everything in my life depends only on You, you control the course of my life and everything that happens in it. Only you knew the day of my birth and know the day of my death. You, Most Merciful Lord, your goodness is undeniable. So I ask you to forgive my sins committed out of ignorance and lack of understanding. Grant me peace and Your support. Protect me, do not let me go down the sinful path, guide me on the true path. Grant me the opportunity to correct my sinful life. And if I anger you, then listen to my repentance. Protect me from demonic temptations. So that my death would be righteous, and I could have hope in the Kingdom of God. At the Last Judgment, show me your mercy. Amen".
Listen to the prayer song “Forgive us, Lord”
Part two. PRAYERS
Short prayers
Every Orthodox Christian is obliged to pray daily, morning and evening, before and after eating food, before starting and at the end of any task (for example: before teaching and after teaching, etc.).
In the morning we pray to thank God for preserving us last night, to ask for His Fatherly blessing and help for the day that has begun.
In the evening, before going to bed, we also thank the Lord for a successful day and ask him to keep us during the night.
In order for the work to be done successfully and safely, we must also, first of all, ask God for blessings and help for the upcoming work, and upon completion, thank God.
To express our feelings towards God and His saints, the Church has given us various prayers. Here are the most commonly used ones:
|
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen. |
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
In the name, in honor, in glory: Amen- true, true.
This prayer is called initial prayer because we say it before all prayers, at the beginning of prayers.
In it we ask God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, that is, the Most Holy Trinity, to invisibly bless us for the upcoming work in His name.
QUESTIONS: What is the name of this prayer? Whom do we call upon in this prayer? What do we want when we say (say) prayer: In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit? What does it mean: amen?
God bless!
We say this prayer at the beginning of every task.
QUESTION: What do we ask of God in this prayer?
Have mercy, Lord!
Be merciful, forgive.
This prayer is the most ancient and common among all Christians. Even a small child can easily remember it; we say it when we remember our sins. For the glory of the Holy Trinity, we Christians say this prayer three times. We also recite it 12 times, asking God for a blessing for every hour of the day and night; We pronounce it 40 times to sanctify our entire life.
Prayer of praise to the Lord God
Praise be to You, our God, praise be to You.
Praise.
In this prayer we do not ask God for anything, but only glorify Him. It can be said in short: God bless. It is pronounced at the end of the task as a sign of our gratitude to God for His mercies to us.
Publican's Prayer
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Pharisee and publican in the temple at prayer
This is the prayer of a publican (tax collector), who repented of his sins and received forgiveness. It is taken from the Savior’s parable, which He once told people for their admonition. This is the parable. Two people entered the temple to pray. One of them was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood in front of everyone and prayed to God like this: I thank you, God, that I am not such a sinner as that tax collector. I give a tenth of my property to the poor, and I fast twice a week. And the publican, recognizing himself as a sinner, stood at the entrance to the temple and did not dare to raise his eyes to heaven. He struck himself on the chest and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner! The prayer of the humble publican was more pleasant and pleasing to God than the prayer of the proud Pharisee.
QUESTIONS: What is the name of this prayer? Where did it come from? Tell this parable? Why is the prayer of a publican more pleasing to God than that of a Pharisee?
Prayer to the Lord Jesus
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Have mercy on us
Be merciful to us, forgive us. Jesus- Savior; Christ- Anointed; prayers for the sake of- for the sake of prayers, or for prayers.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God - the second Person of the Holy Trinity. As the Son of God, He is true God ours, like God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
We call Him Jesus, that is Savior, because He saved us from sins and eternal death. For this purpose, He, being the Son of God, dwelt in the immaculate Virgin Mary and, with the influx of the Holy Spirit, incarnated and made man by Her, that is, he accepted the body and soul of a man - was born from the Blessed Virgin Mary, became the same person as we are, but was only sinless - became a God-man. And instead of us suffering and tormenting for our sins, He, out of love for us sinners, suffered for us, died on the cross and rose again on the third day - conquered sin and death and gave us eternal life.
Realizing our sinfulness and not relying on the power of our prayers, in this prayer we ask you to pray for us sinners, before our Savior, all the saints and the Mother of God, who has the special grace to save us sinners through Her intercession for us before Her Son.
Lord Jesus Christ
Our Savior is called the Anointed One (Christ) because He fully had those gifts of the Holy Spirit, which in the Old Testament kings, prophets and high priests received through anointing.
QUESTIONS: Who is the Son of God? What else do we call Him? Why do we call Him Savior? How did He accomplish our salvation?
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of truth, who is everywhere and fills everything, the source of all good and the Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all sin and save, O Good One, our souls.
Tsar; Comforter- Comforter; Soul of truth- Spirit of truth, Spirit of truth; Izhe- Which; Syi- existing, located; do everything- filling everything; treasure of the good- treasury, the repository of all blessings, all goodness; life to the Giver- Giver of life; come and move in- come and move in us- in us; from all filth- from all uncleanness, that is, from all sins; Better- good, kind.
In this prayer we pray to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity.
We call it the Holy Spirit King of Heaven, because He, as the true God, equal to God the Father and God the Son, invisibly reigns over us, owns us and the whole world. We call Him Comforter, because He comforts us in our sorrows and misfortunes, just as He comforted the apostles on the 10th day after the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven.
We call Him Spirit of truth, (as the Savior Himself called Him), because He, as the Holy Spirit, teaches everyone only one truth, righteousness, only what is useful for us and serves our salvation.
He is God, and He is everywhere and fills everything with Himself: like him, sit everywhere and do everything. He, as the ruler of the whole world, sees everything and, where needed, gives. He is treasure of the good, that is, the keeper of all blessings, the source of all the good things that we need to have.
We call the Holy Spirit Life Giver, because everything in the world lives and moves by the Holy Spirit, that is, everything receives life from Him, and especially people receive from Him spiritual, holy and eternal life beyond the grave, being cleansed through Him from their sins.
If the Holy Spirit has such wondrous properties: it is everywhere, fills everything with His grace and gives life to everyone, then we turn to Him with the following requests: Come and live in us, that is, constantly abide in us, as in your temple; cleanse us from all filth, that is, sin, make us holy, worthy of Your presence in us, and save, Dear One, our souls from sins and those punishments that come for sins, and through this grant us the Kingdom of Heaven.
QUESTIONS: To whom do we address this prayer? The Holy Spirit is what Person of the Holy Trinity? What is He called in this prayer? Why - the Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, present everywhere, filling everything? What are we asking Him for? What does it mean: come and dwell in us? and cleanse from all filth? and save, O Lord, our souls?
Angelic Hymn to the Most Holy Trinity, or "Trisagion"
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
Strong; immortal- undying, eternal.
Angel song
It is called because the holy angels sing it, surrounding the throne of God in heaven. People who believe in Christ began to use it 400 years after the birth of Christ. There was a strong earthquake in Constantinople, from which houses and villages were destroyed. Frightened, Tsar Theodosius II and the people turned to God in prayer. During this general prayer, one pious youth (boy), in full view of everyone, was raised to heaven by an invisible force, and then lowered back to earth unharmed. He told the people around him that he heard the holy angels singing in heaven: Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal. The touched people, repeating this prayer, added: have mercy on us, and the earthquake stopped.
In this prayer God we call the first Person of the Holy Trinity - God the Father; Strong- God the Son, because He is as omnipotent as God the Father, although according to humanity He suffered and died; Immortal- The Holy Spirit, because He is not only eternal, like the Father and the Son, but also gives life to all creatures and immortal life to people.
A youth lifted into the sky by an invisible force
during public prayer in Constantinople
Since in this prayer the word saint is repeated three times, then it is also called "trisagion".
QUESTIONS: Who are we praying to in this prayer? How many times should you repeat it? What is it called? Why is it called an angel's song? What is known about the origin of this prayer? Why is it also called “trisagion”?
Doxology to the Most Holy Trinity
Praise be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, always and forever. Amen.
Praise; now- Now; constantly- Always; forever and ever- forever, or forever.
In this prayer we do not ask God for anything, but only glorify Him, who appeared to people in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to whom now and forever belongs the same honor of glorification.
QUESTION: Who do we praise or praise in this prayer?
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord (Father), forgive us our sins; Master (Son of God), forgive our iniquities; Holy (Spirit), visit us and heal our diseases, to glorify Your name.
Holy
IN highest degree saint; Trinity- Trinity, three Persons of the Divine: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; sins and iniquities- our deeds are contrary to the will of God; visit- come; heal- heal; infirmities- weaknesses, sins; for your name's sake- to glorify Your name.
This prayer is one of petition. In it we turn first to all three Persons together, and then to each Person of the Trinity separately: to God the Father, so that He may cleanse our sins; to God the Son, so that He may forgive our iniquities; to God the Holy Spirit, so that He may visit and heal our infirmities.
And the words: for your name's sake again refer to all three Persons of the Holy Trinity together, and since God is One, He has one name, and therefore we say “Thy name” and not “Thy names.”
QUESTIONS: What is this prayer? Who are we addressing in it? What do the words mean: cleanse our sins, forgive our iniquities, visit and heal our infirmities? To whom do we turn when we say: for Thy name's sake? What do these words mean?
Lord's Prayer
|
Our Father, who art in heaven! 1. Hallowed be thy name. 2. Thy kingdom come. 3. Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth. 4. Give us this day our daily bread. 5. And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors. 6. And do not lead us into temptation. 7. But deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen. |
Our heavenly Father! 1. Hallowed be thy name. 2. Thy kingdom come. 3. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 4. Give us this day our daily bread. 5. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us. 6. And do not allow us to be tempted. 7. But deliver us from evil. Because to You belongs the kingdom, the power and the glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen. |
Father; Izhe- Which; Who art thou in heaven- Which is in heaven, or heavenly; Yes- let be; hallowed- glorified: like- How; in heaven- in the sky; urgent- necessary for existence; give me a shout- give; today- today, today; leave it- sorry; debts- sins; our debtor- to those people who sinned against us; temptation- temptation, danger of falling into sin; sly- everything cunning and evil, that is, the devil. An evil spirit is called the devil.
This prayer is called the Lord's, because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave it to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray. Therefore, this prayer is the most important prayer of all.
In this prayer we turn to God the Father, the first Person of the Holy Trinity.
It is divided into: invocation, seven petitions, or 7 requests, and doxology.
Summoning: Our Father, who art in heaven! With these words we turn to God and, calling Him Heavenly Father, we call upon Him to listen to our requests or petitions.
When we say that He is in heaven, we must mean spiritual, invisible sky, and not that visible blue vault that spreads above us, and which we call “sky.”
Request 1: Hallowed be your name, that is, help us to live righteously, holyly and glorify Your name with our holy deeds.
2nd: Thy Kingdom come, that is, honor us here on earth with Your heavenly kingdom, which is truth, love and peace; reign in us and rule us.
3rd: Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth, that is, let everything not be as we want, but as You please, and help us to obey this Your will and fulfill it on earth as unquestioningly, without grumbling, as it is fulfilled, with love and joy, by the holy angels in heaven . Because only You know what is useful and necessary for us, and You wish us good more than we ourselves.
4th: Give us our daily bread today, that is, give us for this day, for today, our daily bread. By bread here we mean everything necessary for our life on earth: food, clothing, housing, but most importantly, the most pure Body and honest Blood in the sacrament of holy communion, without which there is no salvation, no eternal life.
The Lord commanded us to ask for ourselves not wealth, not luxury, but only the most necessary things, and to rely on God in everything, remembering that He, as a Father, always cares and takes care of us.
5th: And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors., that is, forgive us our sins just as we ourselves forgive those who have offended or offended us.
In this petition, our sins are called “our debts,” because the Lord gave us strength, abilities and everything else in order to do good deeds, but we often turn all this into sin and evil and become “debtors” before God. And so, if we ourselves do not sincerely forgive our “debtors,” that is, people who have sins against us, then God will not forgive us. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself told us about this.
6th: And do not lead us into temptation. Temptation is a state when something or someone draws us to sin, tempts us to do something lawless and bad. So, we ask - do not allow us to fall into temptation, which we do not know how to endure; help us overcome temptations when they happen.
7th: But deliver us from evil, that is, deliver us from all evil in this world and from the culprit (chief) of evil - from the devil (evil spirit), who is always ready to destroy us. Deliver us from this cunning, crafty power and its deceptions, which is nothing before You.
Doxology: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Since to You, our God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, belongs the kingdom, and the power, and the eternal glory. All this is true, truly so.
QUESTIONS: Why is this prayer called the Lord's Prayer? Who are we addressing in this prayer? How does she share? How to translate in Russian: Who art thou in heaven? How to convey in your own words the 1st petition: Hallowed be Thy Name? 2nd: Thy kingdom come? 3rd: Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth? 4th: Give us our daily bread this day? 5th: And forgive us our debts, just as we also forgive our debtors? 6th: And lead us not into temptation? 7th: But deliver us from evil? What does the word: amen mean?

It is advisable to read prayers of thanksgiving every day. Thank the Lord for every day you live, for the blessings sent down to you, for the great gift of health, for the happiness of your children. For everything you have at the moment, even if, from your point of view, it is not that much.
Saint Gregory the Theologian wrote: “The Lord thirsts to be thirsty, and fills those who want to drink; He accepts it as a good deed if they ask Him for a good deed. He is accessible and generously gives great gifts, giving with greater joy than others accept on their own. Just by not revealing a low soul, asking for what is unimportant and unworthy of the Giver.”
Great doxology:
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we praise Thee, we praise Thee, we thank Thee, great for the sake of Thy glory. Lord the King of heaven, God the Father Almighty. Lord, Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Soul. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, take away the sins of the world, accept our prayer. Sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you are the only Holy One, You are the only Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
I will bless You every day, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.
Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Blessed are you, Lord, God of our fathers, and praised and glorified is your name forever. Amen.
May Thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we trust in Thee.
Blessed art thou, Lord, teach me by thy justification (this is repeated three times).
Lord, you have been our refuge throughout all generations. Az said: Lord, have mercy on me, heal my soul for those who have sinned against You. Lord, I have come to You, teach me to do Your will, for You are my God, for You are the source of life, in Your light we will see the sowing. Show Your mercy to those who lead You.
Song of the Lord Jesus Christ:
The only begotten Son and the Word of God, immortal, and willing for our salvation to be incarnate from the Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, immutably made man, crucified Christ God, trampling death by death, the only one of the Holy Trinity, glorified to the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.
In Your Kingdom, remember us, O Lord, when You come to Your Kingdom.
Blessed are the poor in spirit, for for them is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who cry, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.
Blessed ones are merciful, for they will receive mercy.
Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for these shall be called sons of God.
Blessed is the expulsion of truth for the sake of them, for those are the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when they revile you, and destroy you, and say all sorts of evil things against you for lying to Me.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is abundant in heaven.
Psalm 22
The Lord shepherds me and will deprive me of nothing. In a green place, there they settled me, on the calm water they raised me. Convert my soul, guide me on the paths of righteousness, for Your name’s sake. Even if I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me: Your rod and Your club will comfort me. Thou hast prepared a table before me to resist those who are cold against me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and Thy cup makes me drunken, like a mighty one. And Thy mercy will marry me all the days of my life, and let us dwell in the house of the Lord for the length of days.

Prayer of thanksgiving, 1st
I thank you, Lord, my God, for you have not rejected me as a sinner, but have made me worthy to be a partaker of your holy things. I thank You, for You have vouchsafed me, who is unworthy, to partake of Your Most Pure and Heavenly Gifts. But the Lord, the Lover of Mankind, for our sake, died and rose again, and granted us this terrible and life-giving Sacrament for the benefit and sanctification of our souls and bodies, grant this to me for the healing of soul and body, for the driving away of all that is resistant, for the enlightenment of the eyes of my heart , into the peace of my spiritual strength, into unashamed faith, into unfeigned love, into the fulfillment of wisdom, into the observance of Thy commandments, into the application of Thy Divine grace and the appropriation of Thy Kingdom; Yes, we preserve them in Your shrine, I always remember Your grace, and I live not for myself, but for You, our Master and Benefactor; And thus, having gone from this life to the hope of the eternal life, I will achieve everlasting peace, where those who celebrate the unceasing voice and endless sweetness, who behold the ineffable kindness of Your face. For You are the true desire and the inexpressible joy of those who love You, Christ our God, and all creation sings to You forever. Amen.
Prayer 2, St. Basil the Great
Master Christ God, King of the ages, and Creator of all, I thank Thee for all the good things He has given me, and for the communion of Thy most pure and life-giving Mysteries. I pray to Thee, O Kinder and Lover of Mankind: keep me under Thy roof, and in the shadow of Thy wing; and grant me with a clear conscience, even until my last breath, to worthily partake of Your holy things, for the remission of sins and eternal life. For You are the living bread, the source of holiness, the Giver of good things, and we send up glory to You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer 3, Simeon Metaphrastus
Having given me flesh by Your will, fire and scorch the unworthy, do not scorch me, my Creator; rather, go into my mouth, into all my parts, into my womb, into my heart. The thorns of all my sins fell. Cleanse your soul, sanctify your thoughts. Confirm the compositions with the bones together. Enlighten the simple five of feelings. Fill me with Thy fear. Cover me always, keep me, and save me from every deed and word of the soul. Cleanse and wash and adorn me; Fertilize, enlighten, and enlighten me. Show me Your village of the one Spirit, and not to anyone the village of sin. Yes, like Your house, the entrance of communion, like fire, every evildoer, every passion flees from me. I offer prayer books to You, all the saints, the orders of the disembodied, Your Forerunner, the wise Apostles, and to this Your undefiled, pure Mother, graciously accept their prayers, my Christ, and make Your servant a son of light. For You are the sanctification and the only one of ours, the Good One, of souls and lordship; and like unto You, like God and the Master, we send all glory every day.
Prayer 4
May Thy Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, be unto me for eternal life, and Thy Honest Blood for the remission of sins: may this thanksgiving be unto me joy, health and gladness; at Thy terrible and second coming, vouchsafe me, a sinner, to the right hand of Thy glory, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all the saints.
Prayer 5, to the Most Holy Theotokos
Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, protection, refuge, consolation, joy, I thank Thee, for Thou hast vouchsafed me, unworthy, to be a partaker of the Most Pure Body and Honest Blood of Thy Son. But She who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten my intelligent eyes of the heart; You who gave birth to the Source of immortality, revive me, killed by sin; Even the merciful Mother of God, have mercy on me, and give me tenderness and contrition in my heart, and humility in my thoughts, and appeal in the captivity of my thoughts; and grant me, until my last breath, to receive consecration of the most pure Mysteries without condemnation, for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, to sing and praise Thee all the days of my life, for Thou art blessed and glorified forever. Amen.
Now do You let Your servant go, O Master, according to Your word, in peace: for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues and the glory of Your people Israel.
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Lord, have mercy (three times).
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
Troparion of St. John Chrysostom, tone 8

Theotokos, Christian Helper, Your servants, having acquired Your intercession, cry out to You in gratitude: Rejoice, Most Pure Virgin Mother of God, and always deliver us from all our troubles with Your prayers, One who will soon intercede.
Song of praise, St. Ambrose, bishop Mediolansky
We praise God to you, we confess the Lord to you, the whole earth magnifies your eternal Father. To You all the angels, to You the heavens and all the powers, to You the unceasing voices of the cherubim and seraphim cry: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, the heavens and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory. To you is the glorious apostolic countenance, to you the prophetic number of praise, to you the bright martyr’s army praises, to you throughout the entire universe the Holy Church confesses, the Father of the incomprehensible majesty, the worshiped
Your true and only begotten Son and Holy Comforter Spirit. You are the King of glory, Christ, You are the ever-present Son of the Father: You, having received man for the deliverance, did not disdain the Virgin’s womb. Having overcome the sting of death, you have opened the Kingdom of Heaven to believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, come and believe in the Judges. We therefore ask you: help your servants, whom you have redeemed with your honest blood. Make it worthy to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever: we will bless Thee all the days, and we will praise Thy name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: may Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we trust in Thee: in Thee, O Lord, do we trust, that we may not be ashamed forever. Amen.
This is the prayer of a publican (tax collector), who repented of his sins and received forgiveness. It is taken from the Savior’s parable, which He once told people for their admonition. This is the parable. Two people entered the temple to pray. One of them was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood in front of everyone and prayed to God like this: “I thank you, God, that I am not such a sinner as that tax collector. I give a tenth of my property to the poor, I fast twice a week.” And the publican, recognizing himself as a sinner, stood at the entrance to the temple and did not dare to raise his eyes to heaven. He hit himself on the chest and said: “God, be merciful to me, a sinner!” The prayer of the humble publican was more pleasant and pleasing to God than the prayer of the proud Pharisee.
Prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ
Have mercy on us - be merciful to us, forgive us. Jesus - Savior; Christ - Anointed; prayers for the sake of - for the sake of prayers, or for prayers.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God - the second Person of the Holy Trinity. As the Son of God, He is our true God, as are God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
We call Him Jesus, i.e. Savior, because He saved us from sins and eternal death. For this purpose, He, being the Son of God, dwelt in the Immaculate Virgin Mary and with the influx of the Holy Spirit incarnated and made man by Her, i.e. took on human body and soul - was born from the Blessed Virgin Mary, became the same person as we are, but was only sinless - became a God-man. And instead of us suffering and tormenting for our sins, He, out of love for us sinners, suffered for us, died on the cross and on the third day He rose again, conquered sin and death and gave us eternal life.
Realizing our sinfulness and not relying on the power of our prayers, in this prayer we ask that all saints and the Mother of God, who has the special grace to save us sinners through Her intercession for us before Her Son, pray for us sinners.
Our Savior is called the Anointed One (Christ) because He fully had those gifts of the Holy Spirit, which in the Old Testament kings, prophets and high priests received through anointing.
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
To the Tsar - Tsar; Comforter - Comforter; Soul of truth - Spirit of truth, Spirit of truth; Izhe - Which; syy - existing, located; do everything - filling everything; treasure of the good - treasury, repository of all goods, all good; life to the Giver - Giver of life; come and see I - come and move in; to us - in us; from all filth - from all uncleanness, i.e. from all sins;Better - good, kind.
In this prayer we pray to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity.
We call it the Holy Spirit King of Heaven, because He, as the true God, equal to God the Father and God the Son, invisibly reigns over us, owns us and the whole world. We call Him Comforter, because He comforts us in our sorrows and misfortunes, just as He comforted the apostles on the tenth day after the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven.
We call Him Spirit of truth(as the Savior Himself called Him), because He, as the Holy Spirit, teaches everyone only one truth, righteousness, only what is useful for us and serves for our salvation.
He is God, and He is everywhere and fills everything with Himself: Sit everywhere and do everything. He, as the ruler of the whole world, sees everything and, where needed, gives. He is treasure of the good, i.e. Guardian of all good deeds, Source of all good things that we need to have.
We call the Holy Spirit Life Giver, because everything in the world lives and moves by the Holy Spirit, i.e. everything receives life from Him, and especially people receive from Him spiritual, holy and eternal life beyond the grave, being cleansed through Him from their sins.
If the Holy Spirit has such wondrous properties: it is everywhere, fills everything with His grace and gives life to everyone, then we turn to Him with the following requests: Come and move into us, i.e. constantly abide in us as in Your temple; cleanse us from all filth, i.e. sin, make us holy, worthy of Your presence in us; And Save, O Lord, our souls from sins and those punishments that come for sins, and through this grant us the Kingdom of Heaven.
Angelic Hymn to the Most Holy Trinity, or "Trisagion"
Strong - strong; immortal - undying, eternal.
It is called an angelic song because the holy angels sing it, surrounding the throne of God in heaven. People who believe in Christ began to use it 400 years after the birth of Christ. There was a strong earthquake in Constantinople, from which houses and villages were destroyed. Frightened, Tsar Theodosius II and the people turned to God in prayer. During this general prayer, one pious youth (boy), in full view of everyone, was raised to heaven by an invisible force, and then lowered back to earth unharmed. He told the people who surrounded him that he heard the holy angels singing in heaven: " Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal". The touched people, repeating this prayer, added: " Have mercy on us" - and the earthquake stopped.
In this prayer God we call the first Person of the Holy Trinity - God the Father; Strong- God the Son, because He is as omnipotent as God the Father, although according to humanity He suffered and died; Immortal- The Holy Spirit, because He is not only eternal, like the Father and the Son, but also gives life to all creatures and immortal life to people.
Since in this prayer the word saint is repeated three times, then it is also called “Trisagion”.
Doxology to the Most Holy Trinity
Holy - supremely holy; Trinity - Trinity, three Persons of the Godhead: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; sins and iniquities - our deeds are contrary to the will of God; visit - come; heal - heal; infirmities - weaknesses, sins; for your name's sake - to glorify Your name.
This prayer is one of petition. In it we turn first to all three Persons together, and then to each Person of the Trinity separately: to God the Father, so that He may cleanse our sins; to God the Son, so that He may forgive our iniquities; to God the Holy Spirit, so that He may visit and heal our infirmities.
And the words for your name's sake again refer to all three Persons of the Holy Trinity together, and since God is One, He has one name, and therefore we say “Thy name” and not “Thy names.”
Lord's Prayer
Father - Father; Izhe - Which; Like you are in Heaven - Which is in the heavens, or Heavenly; Yes - let; hallowed - glorified: like - How; in heaven- in the sky; urgent - necessary for existence; give me a shout - give; today - today, today; leave it - sorry; debts - sins; our debtor - to those people who have sinned against us; temptation - temptation, danger of falling into sin; the evil one- everything cunning and evil, i.e. devil (evil spirit).
This prayer is called Lord's, because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave it to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray. Therefore, this prayer is the most important prayer of all.
In this prayer we turn to God the Father, the first Person of the Holy Trinity.
It is divided into invocation, seven petitions(or seven requests) and doxology.
Summoning: Our Father, Who art in Heaven! With these words we turn to God and, calling Him Heavenly Father, we call upon Him to listen to our requests or petitions.
When we say that He is in heaven, we must mean spiritual, invisible sky, and not that visible blue vault that spreads above us and which we call the sky.
Petition 1: Hallowed be your name, i.e. help us to live righteously, holyly and glorify Your name with our holy deeds.
Petition 3: Thy will be done as it is in Heaven and on earth, i.e. let everything not be as we want, but as You please, and help us to obey this Your will and fulfill it on earth as unquestioningly, without grumbling, as the holy Angels in heaven fulfill it with love and joy. Because only You know what is useful and necessary for us, and You wish us good more than we ourselves.
Petition 4: Give us our daily bread today, i.e. Give us this day, for today, our daily bread. By bread here we mean everything necessary for our life on earth: food, clothing, housing, but most importantly, the most pure Body and honest Blood in the Sacrament of Holy Communion, without which there is no salvation, no eternal life.
The Lord commanded us to ask ourselves not for wealth, not for luxury, but only for the most necessary things, and to rely on God in everything, remembering that He, as a Father, always takes care of us.
Petition 5: And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors., i.e. forgive us our sins, just as we ourselves forgive those who have offended or offended us.
In this petition, our sins are called “our debts,” because the Lord gave us strength, abilities and everything else in order to do good deeds, but we often turn all this into sin and evil and become “debtors” before God. And so, if we ourselves do not sincerely forgive our “debtors,” i.e. people who have sins against us, then God will not forgive us. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself told us about this.
Petition 6: And do not lead us into temptation. Temptation is a state when something or someone draws us to sin, tempts us to do something lawless and bad. So we ask: “Do not let us into temptation, which we do not know how to endure; help us overcome temptations when they happen.”
Petition 7: But deliver us from evil, i.e. deliver us from all evil in this world and from the culprit (chief) of evil - from the devil (evil spirit), who is always ready to destroy us. Deliver us from this cunning, crafty power and its deceptions, which is nothing before You.
Doxology: For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.(For to You, our God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, belongs the Kingdom, and the power, and the eternal glory. All this is true, truly so.)
Angelic greeting to the Mother of God
Mother of God - Mother of God (who gave birth to God); blessed - filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit; blessed - glorified or worthy of glorification; in wives - between wives; the fruit of your womb - Jesus Christ born of You; like - because, since; Spasa - Savior.
This prayer is to the Most Holy Theotokos, whom we call grace-filled, i.e. filled with the grace of the Holy Spirit, and blessed of all women, because from Her He was pleased, or desired, to be born our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
This prayer is also called an angelic greeting, since it contains the words of the Angel (Archangel Gabriel): " Hail, full of grace Mary, the Lord is with you, blessed are you among women", which he said to the Virgin Mary when he appeared to Her in the city of Nazareth, to announce to Her the great joy that the Savior of the World would be born from Her. Also Blessed are You among women, and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, - righteous Elizabeth, the mother of St. John the Baptist, said to the Virgin Mary when meeting Her.
The Virgin Mary is called the Mother of God because Jesus Christ, born of Her, is our true God.
It is called a Virgin because She was a Virgin before the birth of Christ, and at Christmas and after Christmas she remained the same, since she made a vow (promise) to God not to marry, and, remaining forever a Virgin, gave birth to Her Son from the Holy Spirit in a miraculous way.
Song of praise to the Mother of God
Worthy to eat - worthy, fair; as truly - truly, in all truth; bliss Tya - to please, glorify You; ever-blessed - always having the highest joy (happy), worthy of constant glorification; immaculate - completely immaculate, pure, holy; Cherubim and Seraphim - the highest and closest angels to God; without decay - sinless and disease free; God's Word - Jesus Christ, the Son of God (as He is called in the Holy Gospel); existing- real, true.
In this prayer we praise the Mother of God as the Mother of our God, always blessed and completely blameless, and we magnify Her, saying that She is by Her honor ( most honest) and fame ( most glorious) surpasses the highest angels: Cherubim and Seraphim; those. In her perfections, the Mother of God stands above everyone - not only people, but also the holy angels. Without illness, she miraculously gave birth to Jesus Christ from the Holy Spirit, who, having become a man from Her, is at the same time the Son of God who came down from heaven, and therefore She is the true Mother of God.
The shortest prayer to the Mother of God
Az - I; I'm running - I ask you in prayer.
In addition to praying to the Guardian Angel, we must also pray to that saint by whose name we are called, because he also always prays to God for us. Every Christian, as soon as he is born into the light of God, is given a saint by God as a helper and patron during holy Baptism. He takes care of the newborn like the most loving mother and protects him from all the troubles and misfortunes that a person encounters on earth.
You need to know the day of remembrance in the year of your saint (your name day), know the life (description of life) of this saint. On his name day, we must glorify him with prayer in church and receive Holy Communion, and if for some reason we cannot be in church on this day, then pray fervently at home.
Prayer for the living
We must think not only about ourselves, but also about other people, love them and pray to God for them, because we are all children of one Heavenly Father. Such prayers are useful not only for those for whom we pray, but also for ourselves, since we thereby demonstrate Love to them. And the Lord told us that without love no one can be children of God.
We must pray for our Fatherland, Russia, for the country in which we live, for our spiritual father, parents, relatives, benefactors, Orthodox Christians and all people like for the living, so for the dead because God has Everyone is alive(Luke 20:38).
May you rest in peace - place it in a quiet place, i.e. together with the saints in the eternal blessed abode; deceased - fallen asleep. This is what we call the dead because people are not destroyed after death, but their souls are separated from the body and move from this life to another, heavenly one. There they remain until the time of the general resurrection, which will occur at the Second Coming of the Son of God, when, according to His word, the souls of the dead will again unite with the body - people will come to life and be resurrected. And then everyone will receive what they deserve: the righteous - the Kingdom of Heaven, blessed, eternal life, and sinners - eternal punishment. Sins freestyle - sins committed of one's own free will; involuntary - against one's will, under duress; grant them - give them; the Kingdom of heaven - eternal, blessed life with God.

“He who is alive will live in the help of the Most High, in the shelter of the Heavenly God. He says to the Lord: My God is my intercessor and my refuge, and I trust in Him. For he will deliver you from the snare of hunters and from rebellious words; He will cover you with His blanket; you will trust under His wings; His truth will surround you with weapons. Not slaughter from the fear of the night, from an arrow flying during the day, from things that come in the darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope; You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body, as He commanded His angels about you, to keep you in all your ways. They will take you in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For he has trusted in Me, and I will deliver and cover, and because he has known My name, he will call to Me and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him, I will fill him with long days, I will show him My salvation.”
Venerable Moses Murin
Oh, the great power of repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber. You were horrified by your sins, grieved over them, and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and received Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles. Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze upon them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their death, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (name), who were possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure One By the blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the power to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen".
“I believe in One God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible, in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, God is truth and from God is truth, born, not created, consubstantial with the Father, by Him all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and suffered and was buried. And rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father. And the future will bring about the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father. Let us worship and glorify those who spoke with the Father and the Son. Into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. Tea of the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen".
Prayer of spouses without children
“Hear us, Merciful and Almighty God, may Thy grace be sent down through our prayer. Be merciful, Lord, to our prayer, remember Your law about the multiplication of the human race and be a merciful Patron, so that with Your help what You have established will be preserved. By Your sovereign power You created everything out of nothing and laid the foundation for everything that exists in the world - You created man in Your image and, with a sublime secret, sanctified the union of marriage as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the unity of Christ with the Church. Look, O Merciful One, on us, Thy servants, united in a marital union and begging for Thy help, may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and live to the desired old age and enter into The Kingdom of Heaven is by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due with the Holy Spirit forever. Amen."
When you wake up in the morning, mentally say the following words:
“In the hearts is the Lord God, in front is the Holy Spirit; help me start, live and end the day with you.”
When going on a long journey or just for some business, it’s good to mentally say:
“My angel, come with me: you are in front, I am behind you.” And the Guardian Angel will help you in any endeavor.
To improve your life, it is good to read the following prayer daily:
“Merciful Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit, save, preserve and have mercy on me, the servant of God (name). Take away the damage, the evil eye and bodily pain from me forever. Merciful Lord, cast out the demon from me, the servant of God. Merciful Lord, heal me, servant of God (name). Amen".

Part two. PRAYERS
Short prayers
Every Orthodox Christian is obliged to pray daily, morning and evening, before and after eating food, before starting and at the end of any task (for example: before teaching and after teaching, etc.).
In the morning we pray to thank God for preserving us last night, to ask for His Fatherly blessing and help for the day that has begun.
In the evening, before going to bed, we also thank the Lord for a successful day and ask him to keep us during the night.
In order for the work to be done successfully and safely, we must also, first of all, ask God for blessings and help for the upcoming work, and upon completion, thank God.
To express our feelings towards God and His saints, the Church has given us various prayers. Here are the most commonly used ones:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
- in name, in honor, in glory: Amen- truth, truth.
This prayer is called initial prayer because we say it before all prayers, at the beginning of prayers.
In it we ask God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, that is, the Most Holy Trinity, to invisibly bless us for the upcoming work in His name.
QUESTIONS: What is the name of this prayer? Whom do we call upon in this prayer? What do we want when we say (say) prayer: In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit? What does it mean: amen?
We say this prayer at the beginning of every task.
QUESTION: What do we ask of God in this prayer?
- be merciful, forgive.
This prayer is the most ancient and common among all Christians. Even a small child can easily remember it; we say it when we remember our sins. For the glory of the Holy Trinity, we Christians say this prayer three times. We also recite it 12 times, asking God for a blessing for every hour of the day and night; We pronounce it 40 times to sanctify our entire life.
Prayer of praise to the Lord God
Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.
Praise be to You, our God, praise be to You.
In this prayer we do not ask God for anything, but only glorify Him. It can be said in short: God bless. It is pronounced at the end of the task as a sign of our gratitude to God for His mercies to us.
Publican's Prayer
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
God, be merciful to me, a sinner.
Pharisee and publican in the temple at prayer
This is the prayer of a publican (tax collector), who repented of his sins and received forgiveness. It is taken from the Savior’s parable, which He once told people for their admonition. This is the parable. Two people entered the temple to pray. One of them was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector. The Pharisee stood in front of everyone and prayed to God like this: I thank you, God, that I am not such a sinner as that tax collector. I give a tenth of my property to the poor, and I fast twice a week. And the publican, recognizing himself as a sinner, stood at the entrance to the temple and did not dare to raise his eyes to heaven. He struck himself on the chest and said: God, be merciful to me, a sinner! The prayer of the humble publican was more pleasant and pleasing to God than the prayer of the proud Pharisee.
QUESTIONS: What is the name of this prayer? Where did it come from? Tell this parable? Why is the prayer of a publican more pleasing to God than that of a Pharisee?
Prayer to the Lord Jesus
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, through the prayers of Your Most Pure Mother and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.
- be merciful to us, forgive us. Jesus– Savior; Christ– Anointed; prayers for the sake of- for the sake of prayers, or according to prayers.
Jesus Christ is the Son of God - the second Person of the Holy Trinity. As the Son of God, He is our true God, as are God the Father and God the Holy Spirit.
We call Him Jesus, that is Savior, because He saved us from sins and eternal death. For this purpose, He, being the Son of God, dwelt in the immaculate Virgin Mary and, with the influx of the Holy Spirit, incarnated and made man by Her, that is, he accepted the body and soul of a man - was born from the Blessed Virgin Mary, became the same person as we are, but he was only sinless - became a God-man. And instead of us suffering and tormenting for our sins, He, out of love for us sinners, suffered for us, died on the cross and rose again on the third day - defeated sin and death and gave us eternal life.
Realizing our sinfulness and not relying on the power of our prayers, in this prayer we ask you to pray for us sinners, before our Savior, all the saints and the Mother of God, who has the special grace to save us sinners through Her intercession for us before Her Son.
Lord Jesus Christ
Our Savior is called the Anointed One (Christ) because He fully had those gifts of the Holy Spirit, which in the Old Testament kings, prophets and high priests received through anointing.
QUESTIONS: Who is the Son of God? What else do we call Him? Why do we call Him Savior? How did He accomplish our salvation?
Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, who is everywhere and fulfills everything, treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.
Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of truth, who is everywhere and fills everything, the source of all good and the Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all sin and save, O Good One, our souls.
- Tsar; Comforter– Comforter; Soul of truth– Spirit of truth, Spirit of truth; Izhe- Which; Syi– existing, located; do everything- filling everything; treasure of the good- a treasury, a repository of all blessings, all goodness; life to the Giver– Giver of life; come and move in- come and move in us- in us; from all filth- from all uncleanness, that is, from all sins; Better- good, kind.
In this prayer we pray to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity.
We call it the Holy Spirit King of Heaven, because He, as the true God, equal to God the Father and God the Son, invisibly reigns over us, owns us and the whole world. We call Him Comforter, because He comforts us in our sorrows and misfortunes, just as He comforted the apostles on the 10th day after the ascension of Jesus Christ into heaven.
We call Him Spirit of truth, (as the Savior Himself called Him), because He, as the Holy Spirit, teaches everyone only one truth, righteousness, only what is useful for us and serves our salvation.
He is God, and He is everywhere and fills everything with Himself: like him, sit everywhere and do everything. He, as the ruler of the whole world, sees everything and, where needed, gives. He is treasure of the good, that is, the keeper of all blessings, the source of all the good things that we need to have.
We call the Holy Spirit Life Giver, because everything in the world lives and moves by the Holy Spirit, that is, everything receives life from Him, and especially people receive from Him spiritual, holy and eternal life beyond the grave, being cleansed through Him from their sins.
If the Holy Spirit has such wondrous properties: it is everywhere, fills everything with His grace and gives life to everyone, then we turn to Him with the following requests: Come and live in us, that is, constantly abide in us, as in your temple; cleanse us from all filth, that is, sin, make us holy, worthy of Your presence in us, and save, Dear One, our souls from sins and those punishments that come for sins, and through this grant us the Kingdom of Heaven.
QUESTIONS: To whom do we address this prayer? The Holy Spirit is what Person of the Holy Trinity? What is He called in this prayer? Why - the Heavenly King, the Comforter, the Spirit of truth, present everywhere, filling everything? What are we asking Him for? What does it mean: come and dwell in us? and cleanse from all filth? and save, O Lord, our souls?
Angelic Hymn to the Most Holy Trinity, or “Trisagion”
Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us.
- strong; immortal- undying, eternal.
it is called because the holy angels sing it, surrounding the throne of God in heaven. People who believe in Christ began to use it 400 years after the birth of Christ. There was a strong earthquake in Constantinople, from which houses and villages were destroyed. Frightened, Tsar Theodosius II and the people turned to God in prayer. During this general prayer, one pious youth (boy), in full view of everyone, was raised to heaven by an invisible force, and then lowered back to earth unharmed. He told the people around him that he heard the holy angels singing in heaven: Holy God, holy Mighty, holy Immortal. The touched people, repeating this prayer, added: have mercy on us, and the earthquake stopped.
In this prayer God we call the first Person of the Holy Trinity - God the Father; Strong– God the Son, because He is as omnipotent as God the Father, although according to humanity He suffered and died; Immortal- The Holy Spirit, because He is not only eternal Himself, like the Father and the Son, but also gives life to all creatures and immortal life to people.
A youth lifted into the sky by an invisible force
during public prayer in Constantinople
Since in this prayer the word saint is repeated three times, then it is also called “trisagion”.
QUESTIONS: Who are we praying to in this prayer? How many times should you repeat it? What is it called? Why is it called an angel's song? What is known about the origin of this prayer? Why is it also called “trisagion”?
Doxology to the Most Holy Trinity
Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Praise be to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now, always and forever. Amen.
– praise; now- Now; constantly- Always; forever and ever- forever, or forever.
In this prayer we do not ask God for anything, but only glorify Him, who appeared to people in three Persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to whom now and forever belongs the same honor of glorification.
QUESTION: Who do we praise or praise in this prayer?
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord (Father), forgive us our sins; Master (Son of God), forgive our iniquities; Holy (Spirit), visit us and heal our diseases, to glorify Your name.
– extremely holy; Trinity– Trinity, three Persons of the Divine: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit; sins and iniquities– our deeds are contrary to the will of God; visit- come; heal– heal; infirmities– weaknesses, sins; for your name's sake- to glorify Your name.
This prayer is one of petition. In it we turn first to all three Persons together, and then to each Person of the Trinity separately: to God the Father, so that He may cleanse our sins; to God the Son, so that He may forgive our iniquities; to God the Holy Spirit, so that He may visit and heal our infirmities.
And the words: for your name's sake again refer to all three Persons of the Holy Trinity together, and since God is One, He has one name, and therefore we say “Thy name”, and not “Thy names”.
QUESTIONS: What is this prayer? Who are we addressing in it? What do the words mean: cleanse our sins, forgive our iniquities, visit and heal our infirmities? To whom do we turn when we say: for Thy name's sake? What do these words mean?
Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven!
1. Hallowed be thy name.
2. Thy kingdom come.
3. Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth.
4. Give us this day our daily bread.
5. And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors.
6. And do not lead us into temptation.
7. But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Our heavenly Father!
1. Hallowed be thy name.
2. Thy kingdom come.
3. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
4. Give us this day our daily bread.
5. And forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.
6. And do not allow us to be tempted.
7. But deliver us from evil.
Because to You belongs the kingdom, the power and the glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
- Father; Izhe- Which; Who art thou in heaven– Which is in heaven, or heavenly; Yes- let be; hallowed- glorified: like- How; in heaven- in the sky; urgent– necessary for existence; give me a shout- give; today- today, for the present day; leave it- sorry; debts– sins; our debtor– to those people who have sinned against us; temptation– temptation, danger of falling into sin; sly- everything cunning and evil, that is, the devil. An evil spirit is called the devil.
This prayer is called the Lord's, because the Lord Jesus Christ Himself gave it to His disciples when they asked Him to teach them how to pray. Therefore, this prayer is the most important prayer of all.
In this prayer we turn to God the Father, the first Person of the Holy Trinity.
It is divided into: invocation, seven petitions, or 7 requests, and doxology.
Summoning: Our Father, who art in heaven! With these words we turn to God and, calling Him Heavenly Father, we call upon Him to listen to our requests or petitions.
When we say that He is in heaven, we must mean spiritual, invisible sky, and not that visible blue vault that is spread above us, and which we call “sky”.
Request 1: Hallowed be your name, that is, help us to live righteously, holyly and glorify Your name with our holy deeds.
2nd: Thy Kingdom come, that is, honor us here on earth with Your heavenly kingdom, which is truth, love and peace; reign in us and rule us.
3rd: Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth, that is, let everything not be as we want, but as You please, and help us to obey this Your will and fulfill it on earth as unquestioningly, without grumbling, as it is fulfilled, with love and joy, by the holy angels in heaven . Because only You know what is useful and necessary for us, and You wish us good more than we ourselves.
4th: Give us our daily bread today, that is, give us for this day, for today, our daily bread. By bread here we mean everything necessary for our life on earth: food, clothing, housing, but most importantly, the most pure Body and honest Blood in the sacrament of holy communion, without which there is no salvation, no eternal life.
The Lord commanded us to ask for ourselves not wealth, not luxury, but only the most necessary things, and to rely on God in everything, remembering that He, as a Father, always cares and takes care of us.
5th: And forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors., that is, forgive us our sins just as we ourselves forgive those who have offended or offended us.
In this petition, our sins are called “our debts,” because the Lord gave us strength, abilities and everything else in order to do good deeds, but we often turn all this into sin and evil and become “debtors” before God. And so, if we ourselves do not sincerely forgive our “debtors,” that is, people who have sins against us, then God will not forgive us. Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself told us about this.
6th: And do not lead us into temptation. Temptation is a state when something or someone draws us to sin, tempts us to do something lawless and bad. So, we ask - do not allow us to fall into temptation, which we do not know how to endure; help us overcome temptations when they happen.
7th: But deliver us from evil, that is, deliver us from all evil in this world and from the culprit (chief) of evil - from the devil (evil spirit), who is always ready to destroy us. Deliver us from this cunning, crafty power and its deceptions, which is nothing before You.
Doxology: For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Since to You, our God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, belongs the kingdom, and the power, and the eternal glory. All this is true, truly so.
QUESTIONS: Why is this prayer called the Lord's Prayer? Who are we addressing in this prayer? How does she share? How to translate in Russian: Who art thou in heaven? How to convey in your own words the 1st petition: Hallowed be Thy Name? 2nd: Thy kingdom come? 3rd: Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth? 4th: Give us our daily bread this day? 5th: And forgive us our debts, just as we also forgive our debtors? 6th: And lead us not into temptation? 7th: But deliver us from evil? What does the word: amen mean?
