"Save me, God!". Thank you for visiting our website, before you start studying the information, we ask you to subscribe to our VKontakte group Prayers for every day. Also visit our page on Odnoklassniki and subscribe to her Prayers for every day Odnoklassniki. "God bless you!".
Family is the most valuable thing in every woman’s life. And when trouble comes, and requests are no longer able to help, she turns to the word of God. Prayer for preserving the family and admonishing the husband is the only and sure way to preserve the relationship and return to its former happiness.
This prayer gives confidence and strength, because the path to creating something new is quite difficult, and only a wise woman can pass it. And most importantly, you need to believe in what you are fighting for and, trusting in the Lord, not lose your true appearance.- Before you start reading, you must repent of all your sins before the icon of the Savior in church or at home, and confess.
- When asking the Almighty for help, one should remember that it is in the strength and faith that he gives, for only a person himself can overcome the evil and trials that befall his family and come to a righteous decision - to love his neighbor as himself, learn patience , find spiritual purity, peace and tranquility.
- By turning to God in prayer often and sincerely, you can be sure that he will hear it and reward the benefit that everyone deserves, because a family is real wealth given by Heaven, a spiritual hearth that can warm only when the fire burns in it quiet, bright, imperishable.
The prayer for admonishing the husband is read in these words:
Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, help me in a good cause, in the salvation of my family. Hear me, sinful and unworthy, praying to You at this hour. With tears in my eyes, I pray to You: bring some understanding to the servant of God (name), my husband. Gather the lost and guide them to the right path. Teach him to be a good and worthy husband to his wife.
Arouse in the heart of God’s servant (name) love for me, his wife, and show all the corruption of his deeds. Melt his coldness, resurrect his love. Don't let the family be destroyed, give us family good.
Lord, protect my husband from the devil’s temptation and sinful life. Especially autumn and protect the servant of God (name) from all misfortunes and crafty demons who want to sacrifice him and bring him to hell alive.
Instruct my husband to live according to Your covenants: to love his wife, take care of her and be responsible for her. Enlighten Your servant (name) to start all over again, to forget and forgive all offenses against me.
Lord, I pray to You with all my heart, do not let our family fall apart. Hold me and my husband together. Grant us love for each other, patience and strength to live together according to Your commandments. I trust in Your help, Lord. Amen.
May the Lord protect you!

A Powerful Prayer for the Lost
What to do in a situation if a loved one leads a sinful life, but does not want to change, since everything suits him. Can the relatives and friends of such a person benefit by praying for the lost? After all, it turns out that they are asking for changes in a person’s fate against his will? And how can this be correlated with numerous references in spiritual literature that the Lord does not save a person against the will of that person? Priests clearly answer such questions that prayer requests related to caring for the perishing person definitely benefit the sinner. Prayer for lost souls can change a person, make him aware of the sinfulness of his life, and then, when the awareness comes and the desire to improve arises, the Lord will help him. Everything will happen according to the will of man.
Orthodox prayer for the lost and unbelievers
In pre-revolutionary Russia, parents brought children to the Orthodox faith. Then there was a period of denial of faith, persecution and repression aimed at church ministers, and the churches themselves were destroyed and plundered. Now the situation has changed - more and more people are visiting temples and leading a righteous lifestyle. But these are mainly middle-aged and young people. And there is also a whole layer of people who grew up under Soviet rule and fell away from the faith - these are people whose conscious life passed in times of unbelief. If there are non-believers in your family, then there is no need to force them to accept Christianity. It is necessary, through Christian prayer for the conversion of the lost, to ask the Lord to guide non-believers on the true path. It’s never too late to come to faith; you can do this at 25 or at 75. Independent prayer for lost souls will also help those who have fallen away from the church, those who have stopped praying and attending services.
Christian prayer for the understanding of the lost
Orthodox prayer for the lost will do much more to save those who are addicted to drugs or drink than all the groans, sighs and persuasion combined. Prayer for the lost is a powerful tool; it helps those who have fallen into a sect; it can also bring reason to those who have gone to another religion. Prayers for the lost must come from the depths of your soul; with all your heart you must desire the sinner’s conversion to a righteous life, then the prayer will be heard and accepted by God.
Text of Orthodox prayer for lost souls
God! Do not despise me, an evil and sinful servant, have mercy on me, Lord, Redeemer and Teacher! Reveal to me, Your servant, the secret of mysteries, what does it mean to know God and man!? Your Word in Scripture calls for this, the fathers speak about it, prayers call for this. But what is this, Lord?!
Why do I dare to ask You to reveal this secret? Because this mystery will open the way to my salvation and allow me to fulfill Your will!
Asking him to reveal this secret to me, I will reveal to You my secret, but which You know even better than me. But I will tell it - not to you as to myself.
When I lived without You, Lord, I learned about the visible world, and everything was clear to me. I did not know You, but I knew the world and its laws, I knew my desires and my thoughts. I collected all this before I heard your Voice, which always sounded calling me, but out of oblivion and ignorance I did not pay attention to it.
But You gave me repentance and brought me into Your Holy Church! And behold, I am with You! Now I know for sure that You exist, and that You are merciful and that You are Love, but I am looking for You or myself, I cannot understand. Everything seems clear: here you are, here I am, and I don’t know what’s next.
Or maybe it just seems to me that I’m with You, because... I live as before, and only then do I remember You and my soul, when evening comes and I need to read a prayer to You; or when I have free time, I read the Scriptures or the Holy Fathers; or on weekends I go to church; and such “or” can be continued, and they are all periodic, not constant.
I'm confused, little is clear to me. After all, I fulfill the commandments; I don’t steal or kill. I try to fight my passions, but it doesn’t work, a certain force draws me to my usual actions, words and thoughts. After all, I read fathers as if I understand, but as if I don’t. After all, I try to do what they say, but it doesn’t work, or it works, but only once. After all, I’m trying to pray, but my thoughts run away and it’s impossible to collect them. After all, I participate in the sacraments of the Church - I confess and receive communion and believe in them. After all, I believe in the terrible Judgment, and I am afraid of it. After all, I want to be saved from eternal hell, but I don’t want to go into it. After all, I don’t want to sin, but I sin, submitting to evil spirits. After all, I know that You exist, and I believe it. I know that You are Love, but I don’t feel it and I can’t answer You in kind.
You see, Lord, how much I know and do, but why doesn’t all this bring me contrition, joy and peace in my heart, about which the holy fathers write?!
And here I am before You, Lord! Forgive me, my Lord, broken and mutilated by my desires, my thoughts, my feelings. Reveal to me the secret of mysteries, what does it mean to know You, the Incomprehensible and Unchangeable, and yourself, the insane and fickle?!
Prayers for understanding
Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord, and as a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason, you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank learns from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor of hard work to the husband, a teacher of kindness to the old, a teacher of kindness to the monk, a rule of abstinence to those who pray, an inspired leader from God to those who pray, an enlightener of the mind to those who seek wisdom, to those who are kind-hearted, words are an inexhaustible living source, to those who do good. - the star of mercy, the ruler - the image of the wise, the zealot of truth - the inspirer of boldness, the righteousness for the sake of the persecuted - the mentor of patience: you were everything to everyone, and you saved everyone. Over all of these you have acquired love, which is a union of perfection, and with that, as if by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in your soul into one, and the reconciling love shared here, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles, you preached to all the faithful. We are sinners, each one of us has his own gift, we are not imams of unity of spirit in the union of peace, but we are vainglorious, irritating each other, envious of each other: for this reason, our division, divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation, has turned over to us. Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, servants of God (names), overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers drive away from our hearts all pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, so that In the words of your prayer, let us love each other and with one mind confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

O Most Holy Lady Theotokos, Mother of the Heavenly King, God's Chosen Youth! Unreliable hope, healing for the sick, quick help and intercession for the orphaned, consolation and joy for the grieving, the offended patroness and all those in troubles and misfortunes! Help, O Mother of God, us sinners in our sorrow, gladden the hearts of Your people with joy; rule our lives in peace and silence and do not let us fall into despair, for You are the only One, more than all the saints and more than all the heavenly minds, our Representative to God, as the All-Blessed King, the Good Mother.

Since you are here...
...we have a small request. More and more people are reading the “Orthodoxy and Peace” portal, but there are very few funds for the editorial work. Unlike many media outlets, we do not offer paid subscriptions. We are convinced that it is impossible to preach Christ for money.
But. Pravmir is daily articles, its own news service, it is a weekly wall newspaper for churches, it is a lecture hall, its own photos and videos, it is editors, proofreaders, hosting and servers, it is FOUR publications Pravmir.ru, Neinvalid.ru, Matrony.ru, Pravmir. com. So you can understand why we are asking for your help.
For example, 50 rubles a month – is it a lot or a little? A cup of coffee? Not much for a family budget. For Pravmir – a lot.
If everyone who reads Pravmir subscribes for 50 rubles. per month, he will make a huge contribution to the opportunity to spread the word about Christ, about Orthodoxy, about meaning and life, about family and society.

Hear us sinners who come running to you and pray, and deliver us from every evil situation.

The great grace was given to you, holy martyr of Christ, from the appearance of the Lord, the King of glory, at your request. When I condemned you to beheading with a sword, you heard that most precious and sweetest voice saying to you: “Come, Haralampe, my friend, you who have endured many torments for my sake, and ask Me for whatever you want, and I will give you.” You are a great lamp, you proclaimed to Christ the Lord with your lips: “My Lord, great is this gift that I have from You, the never-evening Light. If Thy Majesty pleases, I pray Thee, deign to grant me Your mercy: so that where my relics will be placed and the memory of my suffering will be honored, there will be in that place neither famine, nor pestilence, nor noxious air that destroys the fruits, but let there be Moreover, in this place there will be peace, health for bodies and salvation for souls, an abundance of wheat, wine and oil, and a multiplication of livestock for man’s needs.” Again, you, the servant of Christ, the long-suffering Haralampie, you heard the voice of the Lord telling you: “Be according to your request, my glorious warrior.” And Abiye, according to this saying of the Lord, you gave up your soul without the sword, and you followed in the footsteps of Christ the Lord with much glory, an angel who met you and escorted you to the Throne of the Lord with great joy. And so you received the crown of glory from His Divine hand from the faces of the saints, forever glorifying the Most Holy Name of the Lord. And there, abiding in heavenly glory, look, O servant of God, upon us sinners who pray to you, and remember us before the Lord, to grant us the great mercy of His for endless ages. Amen.

Troparion, tone 4:
Having been enlightened by divine grace, God-wise, and unswervingly devoting all your mind and heart from this vain world to the Creator through chastity and much patience, you passed away well in your temporal life and kept your faith immaculate. Likewise, even after death, the lightness of your life appeared: for you flow with miracles, an inexhaustible source of faith flowing to your holy tomb, O all-blessed Procopius, pray to Christ God that he may save our souls.
Kontakion, voice 4:
For Christ's sake, through the foolishness of the aerial ordeal in the arms of angels, having come untouched, you have reached the Royal Throne and the King of all, Christ God, the gift of receiving the grace of healing, for with many of your miracles and a terrible sign you surprised your city of Veliky Ustyug: having asked your people for mercy, the ointment from the honorable image of the Most Holy Theotokos You brought relief through prayer and gave healing to the sick. We pray the same to you, miracle-bearing Procopius: pray to Christ God to continually grant forgiveness of our sins.
Prayer:
Oh, great saint of God and miracle worker, holy blessed Procopius! We pray to you and ask you: pray for us to the all-merciful God and our Savior Jesus Christ, that He may show His mercy to us unworthy and grant us everything we need for life and piety: advancement of faith and love, increase of piety, strengthening of peace, fruitfulness of the earth, blessing of the air and good haste in all good things.

On enduring illness and misfortune
To the Righteous Job the Long-Suffering
Troparion, voice 2:
The memory of Your righteous Job, O Lord, is celebrated, so we pray to You: deliver us from the slander and snares of the evil devil and save our souls, as a Lover of mankind.
Kontakion, tone 8:
For you are true and righteous, Godly and immaculate, and sanctified, O all-glorious, true servant of God, you have enlightened the world through your patience, most patient and kind. All the same, God-wise, we glorify your memory.
Stichera, tone 6:
Thou hast given us an image of patience and courage, O Most Gracious Lord, of Thy saint Job, who in all the misfortunes that befell him, sinned nothing before Thee, below his lips, and did not give insanity to Thee, our God. Through your prayers, make us conquerors of many different temptations and save our souls, as a Lover of Mankind.

Amen.
There are times in every person's life when he is faced with a dilemma. The feeling of throwing is familiar to many. And in such cases, prayer can help you find a true solution and not stumble. After all, as you know, demonic forces often deliberately set up various kinds of intrigues, leading a person astray from the true path.
Reading rules
Usually, a prayer for admonishing a person is read in front of the corresponding icon of the Mother of God “Addition of Mind.” Its appearance is associated with the period of reform of the Orthodox Church under Patriarch Nikon. According to legend, one monk-icon painter, doubting the truth of the adopted reforms, asked for power from above to enlighten his mind and soul.
Icon of the Mother of God “Addition of Mind”
The Mother of God appeared to him and dispelled all doubts. The monk wrote a new icon, which is not similar to the traditional images of the Byzantine and Russian schools. The Mother of God in the image hovers over Jerusalem with her Son-God. They are shrouded in one phelonion, and the angels, with their humble worship, point to the Mother of God, thereby urging them to turn to her with their requests.
Important! Before asking for help in front of the “Increasing Mind” icon, you should confess and take communion. It is believed that sins do not allow the Holy Spirit into the heart and prayer does not find a response.
If you need help constantly, then you need to pray every day. In cases where a state of confusion suddenly overcomes, it is better to go to the temple and perform a collective prayer with someone close to you. Thus, the voice of the person asking is amplified significantly.
It is better to read the prayer for admonition in the morning, so that it has a beneficial effect on a person before starting any business. When performing a night vigil, you need to thank the heavenly patrons who did not leave you in trouble. A mother can even write prayers on paper and give it to her child to help him cope with difficulties at school. But at the same time, the child should be involved in independent prayer for himself.
Reading the holy text should be done with faith and humility. Only a baptized Christian will receive help. If one prays for a loved one, it should be done with love in the heart.
How prayer reading helps
Prayer for understanding helps in such cases:
- the person has a congenital malformation, dementia;
- indecision in making some important decision;
- absent-mindedness, inability to concentrate on a task;
- with difficulties in studying. Students often turn to the Mother of God on the eve of exams;
- when there is no clear understanding of how to act in the future, what to strive for.
Prayer in front of the image “Increasing the mind” is really capable of guiding a person on the true path even in such difficult situations as addiction to gambling, drugs, and others. The main thing is to sincerely believe in help from above.
How to read
It is better to pray in front of the face of the Mother of God “Addition of mind.” Under no circumstances should clippings from a magazine or newspaper be used as an icon. The image must be purchased at the church store.
Prayer for understanding helps in difficult life circumstances
A candle should be lit in front of the icon, which serves as a voluntary sacrifice from the believer and introduces him to the Divine light. There are also prayers to saints and to the Lord that help to gain enlightenment. You need to pronounce the following words:
Give, Lord, now to my unworthiness also the grace of understanding, so as to recognize what is pleasant for You, and what is useful for me, and not only to recognize, but also to do, so as not to get carried away and not to cleave to empty things, to have compassion for those who suffer and to be condescending to sinners. Give, Lord, now to my unworthiness also the grace of understanding, so as to recognize what is pleasant for You, and what is useful for me, and not only to recognize, but also to do, so as not to get carried away and not to cleave to empty things, to have compassion for those who suffer and to be condescending to sinners. Amen.
O wonderful servant of God, Father Silouan! By the grace given to you by God, tearfully pray for the entire universe - the dead, the living and the future - do not remain silent for us to the Lord, who diligently fall to you and touchingly ask for your intercession (names). Move, O all-blessed one, to prayer the Zealous Intercessor of the Christian race, the Most Blessed Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary, who miraculously called you to be a faithful worker in Her earthly city, where the chosen one of God begs God for our sins, merciful and long-suffering, so that our untruths and iniquities are not remembered , but according to the ineffable goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ, to spare us and save us according to His great mercy. She, servant of God, with the Most Blessed Lady of the World - the Most Holy Abbess of Athos and Her holy ascetics, ask the saints for the most holy Word of the holy Mount Athos and its God-loving desert dwellers to be preserved from all the troubles and slander of the enemy in the world. Yes, the Angels deliver the saints from evils and strengthen them in faith and brotherly love with the Holy Spirit, until the end of the century they pray for the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and show everyone the saving path, and the Earthly and Heavenly Church constantly glorifies the Creator and Father of Lights, enlightening and illuminating peace in the eternal truth and goodness of God. Ask the people of the entire earth for a prosperous and peaceful life, a spirit of humility and brotherly love, good morals and salvation, a spirit of fear of God. Let it not be malice and lawlessness that harden the hearts of men, which can destroy the love of God in men and cast them into godless enmity and fratricide, but in the power of Divine love and truth, as in heaven and on earth, hallowed be the name of God, may His holy will be done in men , and may peace and the Kingdom of God reign on earth. In the same way, ask for your earthly Fatherland - the Russian lands, servant of God, the longed-for peace and heavenly blessing, covered by the omnipotent omophorion of the Mother of God, to get rid of famine, destruction, cowardice, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare and from all visible enemies and invisible, and thus remain the most holy house of the Most Blessed Mother of God until the end of the century, the Life-giving Cross by the power, and be established in the inexhaustible love of God. For all of us, who are immersed in the darkness of sins and warmth of repentance, who have no lower fear of God and who constantly insult the Lord who loves us immeasurably, ask, O all-blessed one, from our All-Bountiful God, so that with His All-powerful divine grace He will visit and revive our souls and all evil and let the pride of life, despondency and negligence in our hearts be abolished. We also pray that we, strengthened by the grace of the All-Holy Spirit and warmed by the love of God, in philanthropy and brotherly love, in humble crucification for one another and for everyone, may be established in the truth of God and well strengthened in the gracious love of God, and will draw closer to the filial One. Yes, thus, doing His all-holy will, in all piety and purity of temporary life, let us walk the path unashamedly and with all the saints of the Heavenly Kingdom and His Lamb we will be honored. To Him from all earthly and heavenly be glory, honor and worship, with His Beginningless Father, His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Oh, Most Holy and Most Blessed Virgin, Lady Theotokos! Look with Your merciful eye on us standing before Your holy icon and praying to You with tenderness, raise us from the depths of sin, enlighten our minds, darkened by passions, and heal the ulcers of our souls and bodies. We are not imams of other help, not imams of other hope, do You, Lady, weigh all our infirmities and sins? We resort to You and cry out: do not forsake us with Your Heavenly help, but appear to us ever and with Your ineffable mercy and bounties, save and have mercy on us , dying. Grant us correction of our sinful life and deliver us from sorrows, troubles and illnesses, from vain death, hell and eternal torment. You, Queen and Lady, are the quick Helper and Intercessor of all who flow to You, and a strong refuge for repentant sinners. Grant us, O Most Blessed and All-Immaculate Virgin, the Christian end of our life, peaceful and unashamed, and grant us, through Your intercession, to dwell in the heavenly abodes, where the unceasing voice of those celebrating with joy glorifies the Most Holy Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever , and forever and ever. Amen.
If you need help during the day before something important, you can read a short prayer to yourself that will help you make the right decision.
My most blessed Queen, my most holy Hope, friend to the orphans and the strange intercessor, help to the needy and protection of the embittered, behold my misfortune, behold my sorrow; I am overwhelmed by temptation everywhere, but there is no intercessor. You Yourself, help me as I am weak, nourish me as I am strange, guide me as I am lost, heal and save me as I am hopeless. There are no imams of other help, no imams of other hope, unless You, the Lady, help us, we rely on You and boast in You, for we are Your servants, let us not be ashamed. We take refuge under Your mercy, Virgin Mother of God, do not despise our prayers in sorrows, but deliver us from troubles, O pure and blessed One. Amen.Important! Any Orthodox believer must remember that there are no insurmountable difficulties in life. We are sent only those tests that we are able to withstand. You just need to believe in the Lord’s providence and pray for help. Then adversity will pass by, and the right solution will be found in any situation.
Prayer to the icon of the Mother of God “Addition of mind”
Luke 11:8
May the Lord bless and strengthen us all according to His great mercy...
If, I tell you, he does not get up and give him out of friendship with him, then, out of his persistence, he will get up and give him as much as he asks.
Luke 11:8
Every day we read together a prayer of agreement in the form of an Akathist on your initiative for every day
Anyone who urgently needs support can offer reading the Akathist at any time convenient for him. You can initiate the publication yourself and gather people to read in common prayer. One Akathist can be read up to several times a day. The main thing is cathedral. We indicate the time - Moscow. Please make a proposal to read the Akathist 24 hours in advance, and indicate names the next day
Friends, pay attention to the sermon (Arch. Vladimir Golovin, Bolgar) on why it is so important to pray yourself, and not just give names for commemoration:
Let's support each other brothers and sisters in reading together!
May the Lord bless and strengthen us all according to His great mercy and boundless love!
Amen!
And of course, we pray collectively together with Mr. Bolgar and strengthen ourselves with daily testimonies of God’s help
