The Savior said “Ask, and it will be given to you.” These words of Christ often encourage us to think that God is a kind of sorcerer and wizard who will fulfill all our desires: now we will just read the holy prayer for the fulfillment of a desire in the near future. However, a situation often happens to us when we set a goal for ourselves, try to do everything to achieve it, pray for a wish to come true in the near future, but there is no result. Why does this happen? There may be several reasons. The first and most obvious is that we ourselves do not know what we are asking. How often does a person ask for wealth, and only the Lord knows that big money will harm him. He asks for a soul mate, but he himself is not yet ready for a serious relationship, he pushes away all potential brides/grooms with his behavior, and blames others for this. He asks for children, but not because he is ripe for the great mission of fatherhood/motherhood, but to be “like everyone else.” And there are many such examples. That is why you should not grumble; you can read a strong prayer to God asking for the fulfillment of a desire in one day, but do not forget to always add “Thy will be done” at the end.

When reading a prayer for the fulfillment of a cherished desire, specify it

The second reason is that you yourself don’t know exactly what to ask for in prayer for the fulfillment of your desire. For example, the prayer “Lord, let everything be fine” is incorrect. What is “everything” and how is it “good”? You should ask for a specific need. For example, about health, about the successful resolution of childbirth, about profit in business, about the successful sale of a house, etc.

It should be noted that there is no Orthodox prayer that guarantees the fulfillment of your desire. Prayer differs from a conspiracy in that in it we ask without knowing in advance whether what we ask will be given to us, and a conspiracy, as it were, sets us up for a positive result in advance.

But is it possible to force God to fulfill a desire with a strong prayer? This kind of practice has nothing to do with Orthodoxy; these are occult actions, which ultimately cause great harm to the soul. It is very simple to distinguish conspiracies from prayers - there is no request in them, but an installation, almost an order, moreover, conspiracies often need to be combined with different actions (buy ten candles and light them on the full moon, read a prayer forty times and send them to forty people, etc. similar).

How to correctly pray for the fulfillment of a desire?

The Orthodox Church teaches us that in prayer to the saints the most important thing is repentance and humility. If your request pleases God and does not harm you or others, then God will certainly fulfill it, although perhaps not as quickly as you would like. In addition, do not forget to contribute to the speedy fulfillment of your desire, do not expect obvious miracles from a strong prayer to God (remember the Gospel parable about buried talents): for example, when asking for a well-paid job, strive to improve your qualifications, learn languages, be active in sending out resumes.

A person cannot see God with his own eyes, but a believer has the opportunity to communicate with him spiritually through prayer. Prayer passed through the soul is a powerful force that connects the Almighty and man. In prayer, we thank and glorify God, ask for blessings on good deeds and turn to him with requests for help, life guidelines, salvation and support in grief. We pray to him for our health and well-being, and ask him for all the best for our family and friends. A spiritual conversation with God can take place in any form. The Church does not forbid turning to the Almighty in simple words coming from the soul. But still, the prayers that are written by the saints carry a special energy that has been prayed over for centuries.

The Orthodox Church teaches us that prayers can be addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos, and to the holy apostles, and to the saint whose name we bear, and to other saints, asking them for prayerful intercession before God. Among the many well-known prayers, there are those that have stood the test of time, and to which believers turn for help when they need simple human happiness. Prayers asking for everything good, for good luck and for happiness for every day are collected in the Prayer Book for Well-Being.

Prayer to the Lord for all good things

This prayer is read when they need general well-being, happiness, health, success in daily affairs and endeavors. She teaches to appreciate what is given by the Almighty, to rely on the will of God and to believe in his power. They turn to the Lord God before going to bed. They read a prayer in front of holy images and lit church candles.

“Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ. Take away everything sinful from me, and add a little of everything good. Give a piece of bread along the path, and help save your soul. I don’t need much satisfaction, I wish I could live to see better times. Faith will be my holy reward, and I know that I will not be executed. Let everything not be fine, I really need your help. And may my soul soon receive what I truly lack. And let your will be done. Amen!"

Orthodox prayer for well-being

Prayer is intended to help in difficult periods of life, when failures gather in a black streak and trouble after trouble comes. They read it in the morning, in the evening, and in difficult moments for the soul.

“Lord, have mercy on me, Son of God: my soul is angry with evil. Lord, help me. Give to me, that I may be satisfied, like a dog, from the grains that fall from the table of Your servants. Amen.

Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of God, Son of David according to the flesh, as You had mercy on the Canaanites: my soul is angry with anger, rage, evil lust and other destructive passions. God! Help me, I cry to You, who does not walk on earth, but who dwells at the right hand of the Father in heaven. Hey, Lord! Grant me my heart, with faith and love, to follow Your humility, kindness, meekness and long-suffering, so that in Your eternal Kingdom I will be worthy to partake of the table of Your servants, whom You have chosen. Amen!"

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for well-being on the journey

Travelers setting off on a long journey ask St. Nicholas for a safe journey. In order not to get lost and not get lost on a trip, to meet good people along the way and to get help in case of problems, before the road they read a prayer:

“Oh Saint Nicholas of Christ! Hear us, sinful servants of God (names), praying to you, and pray for us, unworthy, our Creator and Master, make our God merciful to us in this life and in the future, so that he does not reward us according to our deeds, but according to his own He will reward us with goodness. Deliver us, saints of Christ, from the evils that come upon us, and tame the waves, passions and troubles that rise against us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not overwhelm us and we will not wallow in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions. Pray to Saint Nicholas, Christ our God, that he may grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, and salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen!"

If there is a dangerous road ahead, a risk to health and life, read the troparion to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker:

“The rule of faith and the image of meekness, self-control, the teacher, show you to your flock, even the truth of things; For this reason, you have gained high humility, rich in poverty, Father Hierarch Nicholas, pray to Christ God to save our souls.”

A short prayer to Archangel Michael for every day

Prayers to Archangel Michael are considered protective. Prayer “amulets” are used to make everyday life easier, prevent misfortune and illness, and protect against robberies and attacks. You can turn to the saint before completing any important task.

“Holy Archangel of God Michael, drive away from me with your lightning sword the evil spirit that tempts me. O great Archangel of God Michael, conqueror of demons! Defeat and crush all my enemies, visible and invisible, and pray to the Lord Almighty, may the Lord save and preserve me from sorrows and from all illnesses, from deadly plagues and vain deaths, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen!"

A strong prayer of repentance to the saints for help in all matters

Prayer requires simple preparation and spiritual cleansing. The words of the prayer must be learned by heart, and before the prayer itself, you must exclude dairy and meat products from your diet for three days. They read a prayer on the fourth day before going to church. It is forbidden to talk to anyone on the way to the temple. Before entering the church, they cross themselves and read the prayer a second time. In the church, seven candles are placed next to the icons of saints and a prayer is read. The last time the holy words of prayer are said at home:

“Saints of God, my heavenly patrons! I pray to you for protection and help. For me, a sinner, servant of God (name), pray to our God Jesus Christ. Beg for forgiveness of sins for me and beg for a blessed life and a happy share. And through your prayers, may my aspirations come true. May he teach me humility, may he bestow love and deliver me from sorrows, illnesses and earthly temptations. May I walk the earthly path with dignity, successfully dealing with earthly affairs and becoming worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen!"

The fast is also maintained on the fourth day, otherwise the prayer will not have sufficient power.

Luck is a capricious person, nevertheless, every person needs it. People try in every way to keep her close to them, and if that doesn’t work, they resort to all sorts of tricks like conspiracies or prayers. Many people treat conspiracies with distrust and caution, and only atheists do not believe in the miraculous power of prayers. Prayers for good luck (the 3 most powerful prayers will be given below) are a great way to make luck and success your constant companion.

Who should you ask for luck first? Of course, the Lord God himself. Prayers addressed to our Creator have enormous power. True, the Almighty helps a person only when his prayers and intentions are devoid of selfish motives, when they are aimed at good, when not a single living soul will suffer from them. Only in this case will the Lord hear the one praying, give him his blessing and illuminate his life with success and luck.

You need to pray to God for good luck in front of his image - in front of the icon in the church or, if it is not possible to visit the temple, at home. Before turning to the Almighty with your cherished request, you need to light a candle and make the sign of the cross over yourself, and then, bowing, whisper the words of the prayer. They sound like this:

It is recommended to read this prayer before every important life event or business on which your future depends. All your undertakings and steps will receive God's blessing if they do not imply anything bad and do not contain malicious intent.

A strong prayer to your Guardian Angel - for good luck

A Guardian Angel is assigned to every person. This is an invisible protector, called upon to protect his ward from all evil and troubles, from human machinations, from evil spirits, from negative magical effects (damage and the evil eye). This is a patron whose task is to guide a person along the righteous path.

To ensure the protection of the Guardian Angel, a person must lead a pious lifestyle: do not swear, do not become a slave to addictions, do not get bogged down in sins. Otherwise, you can lose the guarantee of your divine protector and turn him away from you.

A prayer for good luck addressed to the Guardian Angel is a strong amulet that can radically change the life of a praying person (for the better, of course). To enlist the support of your invisible protector and attract good luck into your life, secret words must be spoken every day before going to bed. The text of the prayer is as follows:

The Guardian Angel constantly prays for his ward in heaven, begging the Lord for forgiveness for all his earthly sins. And this prayer will definitely attract good luck in all matters.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker: a strong prayer for good luck

Thanks to this prayer, you will always be under the protection of St. Nicholas the Pleasant, he will protect you from any evil and negativity.

In general, there are quite a lot of Orthodox prayers designed to attract good luck. Above are the three strongest of them. Which of the prayers (to the Lord, Guardian Angel, Nicholas the Wonderworker) to choose for yourself is up to you to decide. Listen to your heart, trust your intuition, your soul - these three most reliable tips will help you make the right choice. And your life will certainly be filled with luck and divine blessing.

Whatever prayer you prefer, remember that when saying any of them you need to create a certain mood. The power of prayer directly depends on faith. The desire, power of thought and energy of the person praying are important. Appealing to higher powers with prayer gives the sufferer confidence, faith in himself, gives hope and strengthens his consciousness.

Only sincere prayer coming from the very heart of the person praying will be heard by God and his holy helpers. At the same time, his intentions must also be pure, devoid of selfishness, selfishness or malice. By turning to God for bad reasons, a person risks drawing the Creator’s wrath upon himself. This means that luck will not only turn away from him, but will also leave him for a long time - until he manages to atone for his sins and beg forgiveness from higher powers.

Tell your fortune for today using the “Card of the Day” Tarot layout!

For correct fortune telling: focus on the subconscious and don’t think about anything for at least 1-2 minutes.

When you are ready, draw a card:

In situations where the human mind cannot find a way out of the current state of affairs, the heart leads us to church, bows before the image of Jesus Christ and teaches us to fervently and sincerely ask for his help. How, one wonders, does a person whose life is connected with religion only by the fact that he was baptized sometime after birth, remember that the last hope is God.

We turn with prayers for help to God, the saints, Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, as the last resort, they say, if not them, then no one is able to save. And that's true. True, in order for a strong message of help to become effective, you need to know how to pronounce it and what to offer to the Lord in return.

How to pray for help correctly?

First of all, when you decide to ask God for help, first formulate your request in your mind - let it be a sincere request, without guile or pretense, just tell us what is in your heart and how they can help you.

At the same time, thank the Lord for all the blessings in life, for the fact that you and your loved ones are alive and healthy.

Then swear that you will try not to sin, not to lie, not to envy, not to curse. In order for a prayer to the Lord God for help to be heard, you need to overcome the sinful wall separating you and God. And to do this, start living differently, no matter how difficult it may be. Help those who are even worse off than you - the sick, the poor, the suffering, abandoned children. First of all, it will raise your self-esteem - there are people in the world who are worse off than you, and no matter how bad you feel, thanks to God you can help them.

Help in love

Love is the only thing that can make us happy. Love for children, for God, for parents, for friends, but for any woman, all this will be incomplete until she experiences love for a man. Many people fail to find their soul mate on their own, which is why they need to enlist God’s help using a prayer for help in love.

Text of the prayer:

“Lord my God, You know what is saving for me, help me; and do not allow me to sin before You and perish in my sins, for I am sinful and weak; do not betray me to my enemies, for I have come running to You, deliver me, O Lord, for You are my strength and my hope, and to You be glory and thanksgiving forever. Amen".

Help in the fight against evil forces

It is not we, nor the words of the witch, who deliver us from damage, the evil eye, or conspiracy, but the Lord God. If you are damaged, it means he was willing to allow it to happen in order to teach you something. And since you turn to him with a prayer for God’s help, it means that you have already learned something.

Praying to Jesus Christ for help will help get rid of witchcraft, evil looks, and the influence of ill-wishers.

Text of the prayer:

“Lord Jesus Christ! Son of God! Protect us with Your holy angels and the prayers of our All-Pure Lady Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, by the power of the Precious and Life-Giving Cross, the holy Archangel Michael of God and other ethereal heavenly powers, the holy prophet and Forerunner of the Baptist of the Lord John the Theologian, the Hieromartyr Cyprian and the Martyr Justina, St. Nicholas, Archbishop of Myra Lycian Wonderworker, St. Nikita of Novgorod, St. Sergius and Nikon, Abbots of Radonezh, St. Seraphim The Wonderworker of Sarov, the holy martyrs Faith, Nadezhda, Love and their mother Sophia, the saints and righteous Godfather Joachim and Anna, and all Your saints, help us, unworthy, servant of God (name). Deliver him from all slander of the enemy, from all evil, witchcraft, sorcery and crafty people, so that they may not be able to cause him any harm. Lord, with the light of Your radiance, save it for the morning, for the day, for the evening, for the coming sleep, and by the power of Your grace, turn away and remove all evil wickedness, acting at the instigation of the devil. Whoever thought and did, return their evil back to the underworld, for Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Amen".

Here are some of the most powerful protective prayers that will help protect yourself and your loved ones from ill-wishers and various troubles.

Protective prayer amulet

(carry in your inner pocket, or embroider on a handkerchief)

“I love and believe. I trust God, I entrust all protection!”

Psalm 90. Strong protective prayer in the face of danger

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes, and you will 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 approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up 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 I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will overcome him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.
