A person constantly pronounces an internal monologue, and sometimes violently argues with an imaginary opponent. Conflicting feelings tear him apart, depressing the need to make decisions. Vain thoughts, big problems and small things, a stream of daily, endless worries. And it already seems that no one can help, and life passes by, and nothing good is ahead. And then we suddenly remember that we have someone to turn to, whom to hope for and from whom to wait for help.
It is better, after all, not to wait for a special mood, failure, God forbid, misfortunes, but to know prayers for every day and read them regularly.
A daily visit to the church is almost impossible for a modern, active, working person, but everyone can read prayers in the mornings, entrusting their fate to the hands of God. The church office suggests that a full reading of the daily prayer for each day takes at least 40 minutes. Not everyone can afford it, besides, there are difficulties in understanding Church Slavonic words. This makes reading and memorizing difficult. Parish priests, confessors allow and advise to reduce the number of prayers, leaving only those that, as they say, "lay on the soul." Orthodox prayers for every day are appeals to God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Trinity, Saints, Revs, Archangels, Apostles, Guardian Angels. And everyone who prays can turn to someone who is closer to him. Prayer is not a request, especially not a requirement: to make, give, organize, cure. A deeply felt, correctly read morning prayer helps to concentrate, being a kind of meditative tool. Prayers for every day discipline the mind and soul, give us the opportunity to feel protected, stored. If there is no special case, then usually the daily Orthodox rite includes several basic prayers.
We were not taught to pray, but a direct appeal to God, the main prayer for every day, is known to many. This is our Father. The Orthodox Church is a collegiate church, and when many people pray at the same time, its strength becomes irresistible. Therefore , prayers and prayers delivered during church services are so effective.
You can contact the Guardian Angel during the day, he is always there, keeps, protects, directs.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel
The angel of God, the keeper of my saint, given to me by the Lord, I pray you: every day guard me from all evil, instruct me in good deeds and direct me on the path of salvation. Amen.
Very revered in Russia, St. Nicholas the Pleasant. Icons with his image can be found in the cottages of wealthy people and in poor apartments. Smart and stupid, educated and ignorant people of all ages and professions considered and still consider him their own. The Great Saint does not refuse help to anyone, and this help is always timely and effective.
Prayer to Nicholas the Pleasant
O All-Good Father Nikolai! Shepherd and teacher of all with faith praying for your intercession and in a hot prayer calling to you! Try and deliver the flock of Christ from the wolves that destroy the Christian land. Protect and protect the saints with their prayers from rebellion, war and civil strife, from hunger, flood, fire, ball and vain death. And just as you had mercy on three men in prison, and delivered them from the wrath of the king and the cross from the sword, so have mercy on me and deliver from the wrath of the Lord and eternal torment. By your intercession and help, by His own mercy and grace, Christ God will give me a quiet life, save me from troubles and misfortunes. Amen
For a woman there is no better prayer for every day than an appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos . It helps in diseases, protects from despair and evil thoughts.
The Lady, the Most Holy Theotokos. With all-powerful and holy pleas before your Lord, take me away from me, thy humble servant of God, your thoughts are bad and evil. I ask you, strengthen me in my faith! My weak soul and sinful heart are protected from despondency and despair. Our Intercessor, Blessed Virgin Mary! Do not let the sin of evil thoughts and deeds fall into sin. Thy name be blessed forever and ever. Amen.
