“Oh Saint Martha, You are Miraculous!

I turn to you for help! And completely in my needs, and you will be my helper in my trials! I promise you with gratitude that I will spread this prayer everywhere! I humbly and tearfully ask you to console me in my worries and hardships! Humbly, for the sake of the great joy that filled your heart, I tearfully ask you to take care of me and my family, so that we preserve our God in our hearts and thereby deserve the Saved Supreme Mediation, first of all, with the concern that now burdens me...

...I tearfully ask you, Helper in every need, overcome hardships just as You defeated the snake until it lay at Your feet!”

“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; For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

“O Mother of God, Virgin, rejoice! Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you! Blessed are You among Women and Blessed is the Fruit of Your Womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls!”

5. “Saint Martha, ask Jesus for us!” - read 9 times

Prayer is very powerful; Fulfills all desires (if it pleases Heaven - it means that you will not harm anyone with your desires, voluntarily or unwittingly); wishes are often fulfilled even before the end of the reading cycle.

If one of the Tuesdays is missed, start all over again.

If your wish came true earlier, still read to the end of the cycle (all 9 Tuesdays).

There should be a candle burning nearby (to the right) on the table. You can use any candle, but preferably a church candle, a small one.

The time of day - morning or evening - does not matter. If the candle is a church candle, let it burn out to the end; if it’s different, let it burn for 15-20 minutes, and then you can put it out (don’t blow it out!). It is better if you lubricate the candle with bergamot oil (with your palm, from bottom to top, from the base of the candle to the wick). It’s also better if there are fresh flowers nearby! But bergamot and flowers are not necessary, but very desirable!

The desire is better written down on paper so that it always sounds the same when reading the entire text of the prayer. One cycle - one desire.

Every person may have a situation in life when they need help. No matter how strong, rich and successful he is, no one is immune from difficulties and problems. Holy Scripture says: “Do not trust in princes, in the sons of men - there is no salvation in them” - the Lord always helps a person who sincerely and sincerely asks for help.

Not only do they turn to God for help in business: people often ask His saints for assistance in various matters. But there is no need to hang “labels” and distribute certain specializations for saints, although there are some pious traditions of praying for help in various needs to specific saints.

Thus, in diseases of the soul and body, it is customary to pray for healing and help to the saints who had the gift of healing from the Lord during their lifetime.

Such are the holy Great Martyr Panteleimon, the holy unmercenaries Cosmas and Damian, Kira and John, and Presbyter Ermolai - very quick helpers and strong intercessors before the Throne of the Most High God.

There is a prayer for help in business to Saints John the New (Soczawski) and Joseph of Polotsk - this help preferably concerns business, trade or production. Prayers aimed at quick help in studies are addressed to Saint Sergius, Abbot of Radonezh, the great wonderworker and helper to everyone in need.

Popular prayers for help

How can prayer help?

What power does prayer have in a person’s life? It should be understood that prayer is live communication, a conversation with God. How would we ask for help from someone who can solve our problem? The Lord is the Great and Almighty Seer human soul who knows better than ourselves what is useful and necessary for a person.

Even those people who meet us on our way - powerful, skillful, intelligent and strong, ready to help us in solving our life difficulties - they are all sent to us by the Lord, and every good deed from a person is a sign of the Lord’s good disposition.

How should you pray?

You can pray to the saints for help always and everywhere - not only in times of extreme need and danger, not only in church or at an icon. The omnipresent Lord sees us in our need and problem, and through the prayers of His saints sends quick and powerful intercession.

Do not read conspiracy prayers, do not anger God, do not insult Him and His saints by turning to dark, demonic forces. If you read on the Internet or hear recommendations from friends about the number of candles, in unusual ways preparing for the “ritual” of prayer - you should not follow the advice without the prior approval of the priest. Strictly speaking, the only one necessary preparation- humility and sincere repentance for one’s sins.

In order for God to hear our prayer, we must make peace with all our loved ones, ask for forgiveness from everyone with whom we quarreled. This must be done sincerely - only after this can one begin to pray. You should read the words of the prayer carefully, without being distracted for a second, feeling every word.

After receiving help, you need to sincerely thank God and His saints - God pleases thanksgiving prayers, and the Gospel speaks about this: out of ten healed from severe leprosy, only one returned and thanked God - he was most pleasing to Jesus, despite even belonging to a different faith.

No matter how reliable a person’s position may seem to him - he is financially secure, successful, everything is going great - at one moment disaster can strike. Holy Bible often warns that earthly goods are temporary and do not provide protection from problems. Who should you ask for help in a difficult situation? Pray to God first of all. Which prayers are better, who else can read them to - you will learn from this article.

Prayer for help in a hopeless situation to the Lord God

The Bible contains many examples of how even the best of men were sometimes attacked evil spirits. Why does the Lord allow this? And He is simply waiting for a person to trust Him unconditionally. Then He will begin to destroy the enemy’s plans one by one.

God is not a machine with miracles, but even a machine must be approached and a coin thrown in, and a person must express his desire to receive protection. This is easy to do - read a prayer for help in a difficult situation.

“In the hand of Your great mercy, O my God, I entrust my soul and body, my feelings and words, my advice and thoughts, my deeds and all my movements of body and soul. My entry and exit, my faith and life, the course and end of my life, the day and hour of my breathing, my repose, the repose of my soul and body. But You, O Most Merciful God, invincible to the sins of the whole world, kindly, kindly Lord, accept me, more than all sinners, in the hand of Your protection and deliver from all evil, cleanse my many iniquities, grant correction to my evil and wretched life and from always delight me in the coming cruel falls, and in no way will I anger Your love for mankind, with which you cover my weakness from demons, passions and evil people. Forbid the enemy, visible and invisible, guiding me along the saved path, bring me to You, my refuge and the land of my desires. Grant me a Christian end, unashamed, peaceful, keep me from the airy spirits of malice, at Your Last Judgment be merciful to Your servant and number me at the right hand of Your blessed sheep, and with them I will glorify You, my Creator, forever. Amen."

Quite often it happens that a person’s desire does not coincide with what God has prepared for him. Many people view prayer as an opportunity to “persuad” the Creator to do something their way. But such a plan is unlikely to work - it can only arouse the wrath of God, who will stop heeding the voice of the disobedient. It happens that people still act in their own way, but it ends sadly. So is it worth insisting and striving for what the almighty ruler of heaven considers unnecessary for you?

Before prayer, it is important to attune your soul to humility and acceptance of the inevitable. After all, there are situations that cannot be avoided. And you shouldn’t ask for magic to happen - it won’t happen. It is better to ask for wisdom, patience and strength. To do this, it is good to use such a well-known biblical book as the Psalter. In it you can find prayers for help in any situation, no matter how difficult it may be.

• You can read the psalms in Russian.
• You can read any number of psalms, even 24 hours a day.
• You can sit while reading the Psalter.

All psalms are addressed to God, some of them are laudatory, others are prophetic, but you can choose any one that corresponds to the inner state of the soul. She will definitely be healed by the Word of God.

Prayer in difficult times to the Mother of God

According to Orthodox tradition, the Mother of God walks the earth every day, helping the unfortunate, sick, and orphans. Anyone who needs help in life can turn to the Mother of God. There is a huge number (several hundred) of icons, to which various properties are attributed.

• "" - they pray for the strengthening of faith, for protection from enemies, for the prosperity of Russia.
• “” - she is asked to get rid of cancer.
• “” - pray if you have problems with hearing and vision.
• “” - gives spiritual joy, teaches you to love your neighbors.
• "" - blesses those entering into marriage, helps in Hard time(for any problems).
• “” - it is customary to hang it in the house to protect it from fire.

My Most Blessed Queen, My Hope, Mother of God, Shelter of orphans and wanderers, Protector, Joy of the grieving, Patroness of the offended! You see my misfortune, you see my sorrow; help me as a weak person, guide me as a stranger. You know my offense: resolve it according to Your will. For I have no other help than You, no other Protector, no good Comforter - only You, O Mother of God: may you preserve me and protect me forever and ever. Amen.

The earthly life of the Ever-Virgin was full of ordinary everyday sorrows. When she was still a very young girl, her parents died - after all, they were very old when the Lord gave them the joy of motherhood. The Virgin Mary was happy to live at the Jerusalem temple, but one fine day they decided to marry her off. Marriage was a formality and was done so that the young innocent girl would have a roof over her head.

And she obediently accepted the will of God, although she did not at all want to leave the monastery, where she could study the Scriptures and pray. For her, the time has come for ordinary earthly worries. And when the Baby appeared, she was destined to walk next to Him along the way of the cross and watch the Son die on the cross, without any guilt. How much patience, humility and love lives in the heart of the Mother of God? She will never ignore the requests of the disadvantaged; everyone can count on her support.

Prayers to the saints for help

In any situation, even if it seems hopeless, you can go to church, venerate shrines, order a prayer service, and your soul will feel better. You can also turn to the saints of God, who are known for their holy lives and miracles. Who should I pray to?

Holy Prince Daniel of Moscow. His relics rest in the Danilov Monastery in the center of Moscow. It especially helps with housing problems that many people have today. Some believers found own apartments after fervent prayers to the saint. Helps build relationships with superiors and protects against unfair attacks. Provides patronage throughout Christian life.

The most famous Russian saint. Through it you can get help from God - get rid of various physical ailments; prayer also helps those who cannot cope with their studies or mastering new specialties. Of course, in case of doubt, if you want to break one of the commandments, you should also turn to this saint.

He is known as a great teacher of Christianity, although he did not leave written works, but lived like the ancient biblical prophets. He spent all his days working, praying, and caring for his neighbors.

An ancient saint, revered by all Christian churches. His relics have been preserved incorrupt. Born in Greece, he was an ordinary shepherd. He became famous for his gift of miracles during his lifetime. It is believed that he still walks the earth, providing assistance to the suffering - every year he ends up wearing shoes with worn out soles.

He helps to conduct business activities, conduct real estate transactions, the unemployed pray to him to find a decent job.

In any situation, you can also go to the saint whose name you took at baptism. The text that will be spoken is not so important. You can address the sky in your own words. How to make any prayer powerful? For this, of course, you need faith that the Lord can and wants to help you. After all, he is loving Father for all people.

Also, you should not demand or put forward ultimatums. We must try to understand the reasons for what happened, ask for forgiveness for all the mistakes made (we all have them). And then ask for help - assistance, consolation, understanding of what needs to be done.

Each of us has moments in our lives when we simply need help from Above. In many everyday situations: in illnesses and illnesses; when applying for a job and at the beginning of any business; at a loss as to what to do and at a decision important issues; to preserve the family and when searching for our soul mate, we ask the Lord, the Mother of God and the saints to save, bless, preserve, protect and help us.

In a special need, it is best, in addition to lighting a candle and praying for what you ask, to order a prayer service and submit a note of health (repose) to the altar.

Which saints should we pray to for certain needs?

Turn to the Lord, especially if it concerns the correction of your life, repentance, recovery from addictions, passions. The closest Intercessor to us is the Most Pure Mother of God Who will always hear and bring your prayers to the Lord.

Of course, sometimes it is difficult for us to turn to the Lord Himself because we do not know how to do it correctly. But we have saints who always hear us, who will always bring your prayers to the Throne of God. They were once people too and understand all the sorrows of our earthly life. Therefore, it is often easy to contact them. In them we often find the most real faithful assistants and intercessors for our souls. You can ask any saint for any of your requests., especially if you have a special admiration for a certain saint. Many Orthodox Christians love St. Matronushka and ask her in every need and are heard. Some people prefer it Venerable Seraphim Sarovsky, to someone the Venerable Sebastian of Karaganda. It is important that you believe that the saint you are turning to hears you.

During their lifetime, some saints especially helped in certain situations. For example, Saint Luke Voino-Yasenetsky was a surgeon and he especially helps in prayer about operations and making the correct diagnosis. The Icon of the Kazan Mother of God once showed a miracle of healing a blind man, and now they often pray to her for sight and healing of blindness. During his lifetime, Saint Boniface, being a simple man, loved to drink, but then, as we know from his life, he suffered a martyr’s death for Christ. And who, no matter how he, should pray for deliverance from this passion. After all, he knew what it was, what kind of torment it was. That is why some saints have a kind of “specialization”.

It is very good to read his life about the saint you are addressing. Then, believe me, it will become much closer and clearer to you, and the prayer will be more sincere.

I would like to say very briefly here about one negative phenomenon that is associated with the veneration of saints. The fact is that some perceive saints approximately the same way the pagans perceived their gods - according to the principle “which saint helps with what.” Such people come into church and ask: “Which saint should I light a candle to get an apartment?”, “Which saint should I pray for a toothache?” etc.

We must remember that saints are not some gods from whom you can get something, and from each to their own. Saints are not experts in issuing apartments, stopping toothaches, or other similar things. There are, of course, saints who were doctors during their lifetime, and we turn to them with a request for healing, for example, the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon. Indeed, through the prayers of such saints, many healings occur. But in no case should you use prayer to a saint as if it were some kind of idol that is needed only because you can get specific help from him.

Saints are first of all our heavenly friends who can help us in our progress on the path to salvation, on the path to God. And only secondarily saints are those who help us with specific everyday things.

So pray, the main thing is that your prayer comes from the depths of a warm heart and does not go against God’s will.

Anyone who wants to receive anything from the Lord or from the saints must not only pray to them, but also build his life according to the commandments. Through the Gospel, God appeals to everyone with a request to be kind, loving, humble, etc., but people often do not want to listen to this, but themselves ask Him to help them in business.

For prayers to be successful, you must pray with words coming from the heart, with faith and hope for God’s help. And it should be remembered that not everything that a person asks from the Lord is useful for him. The Lord is not a machine that fulfills all desires; you just have to press the right button, that everything He sends is aimed at the benefit and salvation of the soul, although sometimes people think this is unfair.
