Anger is one of mortal sins. He is able to defeat both laity and monks, it is difficult to fight this passion. As Paisiy Svyatorets said, now it’s such a time that flies are annoyed - not just people. To overcome passion, prayer is needed against anger and annoyance.
Is anger good?
According to St. Paisius the Holy Mountaineer, anger is the power of the soul. It helps a meek person in spiritual perfection, and for an angry person, such a trait is of great benefit when it is directed against one’s own passions. The fact is that anger is led by the unclean, as a rule, because a person uses this property of character in order to discharge at the neighbor.
Why are we angry and annoyed?
Wanting to overcome passion, a person begins to wonder: is there a strong prayer from anger and irritation? Many people think that the texts of prayers are like a magic wand - it is worth reading and you will immediately get rid of passion.
Alas, this is a misconception; it takes a long time to combat anger. Passion is akin to a bush with strong roots, it may look stunted, but it is not possible to tear it out of the ground, you have to carefully cut it and then uproot the roots.
A person can be annoyed when tired, upset, or besieged by his own problems. There is, as they say in modern language, a way out of the comfort zone, the individual loses peace with himself.
Often people seek prayer from anger and annoyance, considering it a source of healing. She is such, coupled with working on herself, the ability to restrain herself in relations with others and be angry with herself. We are annoyed at our neighbors, often we consider them guilty of various misconducts that brought us out of spiritual balance. But it is worth taking a closer look and it becomes clear: at the heart of each such misconduct is our fault. The ability to soberly respond to a conflict situation will help to look at it from a different angle, reproaching oneself for what happened instead of a close one.
How to refrain from anger?
Before looking for a prayer from pride, anger and annoyance, it is worth considering ways to abstain from these passions.
The phrase "water in my mouth typed" is familiar to many, because there is such a type of people. It is impossible to swear with them, everything said is ignored, a person sits and pretends not to hear anything, preferring to remain silent. It is advisable to recall this method when there is a desire to quarrel with one's neighbor, to express to him everything that is thought and boiling.
The Monk Paisiy Svyatorets talked about a woman who first read The Symbol of Faith, and then only opened her mouth, wanting to speak unflatteringly at someone's address. As a rule, it didn’t get to this point, because after reading the prayer the lady cooled down. It is worth taking the method for arming, the text of the prayer from anger and irritation, which appears in the indicated case, “Creed”, is presented below.
I believe in the one God of the Father, the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in the one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, from the Father of the Nativity before all ages; The Light from the Light, God is true from God is true, Christmas, indisputable, consubstantial with the Father, All the same was. We are glad for the man and for our sake of salvation came down from heaven and incarnating from the Holy Spirit and Mary the Virgin and humanizing. But we were crucified under us at Pontistem Pilate, and the one who suffered and was buried. And he was resurrected on the third day according to the Scriptures. And above to heaven, and sitting at the right hand of the Father. And the packs of people to come with the grave judgment of the living and the dead, His kingdom will not end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Creator of Life, Already from the Father proceeding, Along with the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified, with the words of the prophets. In one holy, catholic and apostolic church. I confess baptism for the remission of sins. Of the resurrection of the dead, and of life forever. Amen.
Problems at work
Let us leave the argument that most of the time people spend at work. Everyone already knows this, another issue is the team and management. There are times when a person hates his work because of the situation in the team. Gossip, omissions, regular gossip - this is the worst thing that often comes across.
Worse is just the inadequate leadership found on a massive scale. Constant discontent, calls to the carpet, reprimands and humiliations - it is just right to quit or seek prayers from the anger and irritation of the authorities.
Anger and irritability are spiritual ailments. They pray to King David, a psalmist, for healing spiritual and spiritual ailments. The most common prayer is known to many:
Lord, remember King David and all his gentleness.
Going to the next carpet, it will not be superfluous to read it mentally, standing in front of the door leading to the chief's office.
Prayers to St. King David - Psalmist
The aforementioned prayer from the anger and irritation of the boss is one of the few recited in spiritual and spiritual ailments. The texts of the rest are as follows:
Oh, the most glorious and wonderful prophet David of God! Hear us, sinful and indecent, coming up before your holy icon at this hour and zealously resorting to your intercession. Pray for us the Human Lover of God, may He give us the spirit of repentance and contrition for our sins and His omnipotent grace may He help us to abandon the path of ungodliness, to hasten in every work, to strengthen us in the struggle against our passions and lusts; may our spirit of humility and meekness, the spirit of brotherhood and kindness, the spirit of patience and chastity, the spirit of jealousy for the glory of God and the salvation of our neighbors, plant in our hearts. Abolish your prayers, prophetically, the evil customs of the world, and moreover, the destructive and corrupt spirit of this world, infecting the Christian race with disrespect for the Divine Orthodox faith, the charters of the holy Church and the commandments of the Lord, disrespect for the parent and those in power, and casting people into the abyss of ungodliness corruption and perdition. Turn away from us, most prophetically, by your intercession the righteous wrath of God, and deliver all the hail and weight of our kingdom from hopelessness and gladness, from terrible storms and earthquakes, from deadly ulcers and illnesses, from the invasion of enemies and internecine warfare. Strengthen Orthodox prayers with your prayers, bless them in all good deeds and endeavors to establish peace and truth in their power. Contribute to the All-Russian Christ-loving army in braneh with our enemies. Ask God’s prophet, from the Lord our pastor for God's holy jealousy according to Bose, heartfelt care for the salvation of flocks, wisdom in teaching and management, piety and strength in temptations, for judges, ask for impartiality and disinterestedness, righteousness and compassion for the offended, all commanding custody of subordinates, mercy and justice, submission to the same submission and obedience to power and diligent performance of their duties; yes, tacos living in peace and piety in this week, let us comprehend the communion of eternal blessings in the Kingdom of the Lord and Savior of Jesus Christ, Him and befitting honor and worship, with His First Father and the Most Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
Troparion No. 1:
Gospel, Joseph, David, miracles of the God-Father: I saw the virgin who was born, blessed the shepherds from the shepherds, bowed from the magi to the esi, and the angel received a message. The prayers of Christ God save our souls.
Troparion No. 2:
Thy prophet David, Lord, the memory is celebrated, therefore we pray: save our souls.

Today David is fulfilling the Divine, Joseph praising with Jacob brings: the crown is more acceptable to Christ, they rejoice, and indescribably sing to the lands of the Birth of God, and cry out: "Generous, save thee that honor you."
Kondak second:
Your pure heart, enlightened by the Spirit, prophecies, be the brightest buddy: see so much the real farther existent: for this sake we honor, blessed prophesy, David is glorious.
If the baby is annoying
Even the longest parental patience comes to an end. There are no people among people who have not been angry at least once with their child, the causes of irritation can be varied: their own fatigue, poor child behavior, or school low grade.
Sometimes there is a desire not only to scold the offspring, but also to spank, so that at another time it would not be bad to behave badly. People who do not lead church life can do this; believing parents will force themselves to restrain themselves.
Is there a prayer for anger and annoyance on a child? Specifically, there is none, but you can use the texts of prayers to King David mentioned above, read the “Creed” or create Jesus prayer. She is the shortest of all listed.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner / sinner.
Prayer to the Virgin
The Mother of God is our merciful intercessor before God, the Orthodox turn to Her with their troubles and problems, asking for protection and help. Anger is a spiritual problem that can only be resolved through prayer and self-development.
There is an image of the Virgin, called "Softening of Evil Hearts", those who are in a state of heart anger pray in front of him. Anger is not anger, but not irritability. So that the state of anger does not develop into anger, you need to see this passion in yourself in time, begin to fight it and read a prayer from the anger and irritation of the Virgin.
You can buy an akathist "Softening Evil Hearts", take a blessing to read it from a confessor or priest, to whom you go to confession. For people who rarely attend church and do not have a spiritual mentor, we publish a prayer, troparion and kondak from the akathist:
Prayer: O long-suffering Mother of God, Exceeding all the daughters of the earth, in Her purity and in many sufferings, You have transferred to the lands, we receive our much-pained sigh and keep us under the shelter of Your mercy. You don’t have any other refuge and warmth of representation, but since you have the boldness to be born of you, help us and save us with our prayers, let us reach the Kingdom of Heaven without hindrance, and with all the saints we will sing in the Trinity to the one God now and evermore, and till the end of time. Amen.
Kondak:
We call upon the Chosen Virgin Mary, who exceeded all the daughters of the earth, the Mother of the Son of God, to save the world, with tenderness we cry: look at our many-hurt life, remember sorrows and illnesses, you have undergone them like our earthly one, and have done with us according to Your mercy, let us call Ti: Rejoice, many-mourned Mother of God, who transforms our sorrow into joy.
Troparion:
Soften our evil hearts, Mother of God, and quench the troubles of those who hate us, and allow all the crampedness of our souls. They look at Your holy image, We are touched by us with your suffering and mercy, and we kiss Your wounds, but we terrify our arrows, which torment you. Do not let us, Mother of mercy, perish in our cruelty and cruelty of our neighbors, Thou art truly evil hearts Softening.
Prayer of Abba Dorotheus
The ascetic, who lived in the VI century, left us a prayer from anger and irritation, read in moments of internal struggle and self-discord:
God merciful and humane! By Your ineffable goodness, He created us out of nothing, for the enjoyment of Your blessings, and the blood of Your Only Begotten Son, our Savior, who called us, those who departed from Your commandments! Come and now, help our weaknesses, and just as You once forbade the troubled sea, so now forbid the indignation of our hearts so that You will not lose both of us, Your children, who have been put to death by sin, and that He does not say to us: My blood, always come down for destruction ”, and:“ Amen I say to you, we do not weave you ”, because our lamps went out due to lack of oil. Amen.
Prayer for proud
Anger, irritability and pride are links in one chain. Why are people annoyed at a fair remark? And if you criticize your neighbor a little, he falls into a state of anger. One thing is unfair and acrimonious criticism, and quite another is adequate when they try to help a person. He takes such attempts with hostility, reacting to them with anger and irritation.
The fact is that there is an infringement of one's own self, criticism and remarks strike on such a feeling as pride. One of the main passions, the struggle with which takes many years, if not all life.
When a person declares that he is not proud, such phrases indicate the opposite. Pride flows over the edge, its owner has no sins, lives like everyone else, does not offend people. So proud people speak about themselves, what kind of repentance or work on oneself can be discussed?
Religious relatives can help in such cases. Having been blessed by a spiritual mentor, one can read prayers for the pride. They look a little like prayers from anger and irritation, but these properties of a human character, as written above, arise from pride.
Prayer of John of Kronstadt
One of the revered saints in Russia - our contemporaries. The saint left behind many spiritual works, including prayers, composed by himself.
Lord, teach Thy servant, who fell into the devil's pride of meekness, meekness and humility, and cast off his heart his darkness and the burden of Satanic pride!
These few lines are read for the proud and obstinate neighbor.
Prayer to St. Alexis - a man of God
When the neighbor is overpowered by pride, and as a result, anger, coupled with irritability, it is advisable to turn with prayerful sigh to Saint Alexis:
O Christ's servant, holy man of God Alexy! Look mercifully upon us, servant of God (names), and prayerfully prostrate your hand to the Lord God, and ask us for the forgiveness of our sinful and unconscious sins, a peaceful and Christian life, and a good answer at the Last Judgment of Christ. To her, the servant of God, we do not put shame on our hope, according to Bose and the Mother of God, hedgehog; but be our helper and patron for salvation; Yes, with your prayers that you have received grace and mercy from the Lord, we will glorify the philanthropy of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and your holy intercession, now and ever and ever.
Prayer to Silwan of Athos
Another of our contemporary, who died in 1938. Originally from Tambov province, who left the family nest in 1892 in order to devote his life to God.
The monk labored on Athos, left behind moral and ascetic works. Glorified in the face of saints:
O faithful servant of God, Father Silvanus! By grace, from God given to you, pray tearfully for the whole universe - the dead, the living and the coming - do not keep silent for us to the Lord, who assiduously come to you and your intercession is emphatically asking (names). Feet, O blessed, to pray the Assiduous Intercessor of the Christian race, the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Virgin Mary, who miraculously called thee to be a faithful laborer in Her earthly helicopter, the hope of God's chosen one to grace our gracious and long-suffering beggars, I have never been forgotten but by the indescribable goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ, hold on to and save us by His great mercy. With her, the servant of God, with the Most Holy Mistress of the world - the Holy Mother Abbess Athos and the holy ascetics, ask Her earthly lot from the saints of the Holy Word, the holy mountain of Mount Athos and the god-loving desertifier, from all troubles and libels of hostility, she will be preserved in the world. Yes, we deliver the angels from the saints to the saints and strengthen the Holy Spirit in faith and brotherly love, until the end of the century for the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church of the Church, they prayer and give everyone a saving path, and the Church of the Heavenly and Heavenly ceases to glorify the Creator and Father of Lights, enlightening and illuminating peace in the eternal truth and goodness of God. Ask the people of the earth for a prosperous and peaceful life, the spirit of humble wisdom and brotherly love, kindness and salvation, the spirit of the fear of God. May anger and lawlessness harden human hearts, which can destroy the love of God in mankind and cast them into divine enmity and fratricide, but in the power of divine love and truth, as the name of God is blessed in heaven and on earth, may His will be holy in mankind and may the peace and kingdom of God reign on the earth. Similarly, to your earthly Fatherland - ask for the lands of the Russians, a covetous of God, coveted peace and heavenly blessing, in hedgehog omniphor Mater of God, to cover him, get rid of gladness, destruction, coward, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare and from all enemies visible and invisible, and so the holy house of the Blessed Virgin Mary until the end of his age to abide him, the Cross of Life-giving power, and affirm to the love of God that is not scanty. But to all of us, immersed in the darkness of sins and the repentance of warmth, below the fear of God who do not have, and who sits immeasurably loving the Lord, constantly insulting us, ask, God blessed, all-merciful God, may God bless our gracious God and revive our souls, and all kindness and worldly pride, despondency and neglect in our hearts, let it be abolished. We also pray for the hedgehog and for us, the grace of the All-Holy Spirit to be strengthened and warmed by the love of God, in philanthropy and brotherly love, the humble and wise crucifixion of one another and for all, in the truth of God, to be affirmed and graciously strengthened by God's love, and the love of God will be closer to him. Yes, tacos, creating His all-holy will, in all piety and the purity of his temporary life, we will shamelessly pass the way and with all the saints of the Heavenly Kingdom and His Lamb marriage we will be akin to. But to him from all earthly and heavenly things be glory, honor and worship, with His Fatherless Father, the Most Holy and Good, and His Life-giving Spirit, now and evermore and forever. Amen.
Prayer with irritation in one's neighbor
The closest people suffer from our anger and irritability. We break down after a hard working day, with problems or a spoiled mood, being unhealthy. Some households humbly endure, and some of them respond in the same way. The result is an ugly situation called a quarrel.
As taught by St. Paisius Svyatorets, we should be angry with our old man and the surrounding little cocks with okayas, and our neighbors are not at all to blame for our bad mood. In order to achieve such anger, you need constant work on yourself, careful monitoring of your own behavior and thoughts. Hardly a modern person, with his frantic pace of life, is capable of attentive attitude to his thoughts and actions.
It is worth using the monastic method of introspection. The monastic inhabitants every evening analyze how their day went. They write down everything on a piece of paper, then in their opinion it is sinful, down to the smallest thoughts (if they do not forget about them). We, who live in the world, will not be prevented by such self-digging with subsequent recordings, sometimes you will re-read and be horrified by our own behavior.
Somewhat distracted, we return to prayer from anger and irritation at loved ones. The text is as follows:
Merciful, merciful, good, long-suffering, loving, compassionate Heavenly Father! I mourn and confess before you the inherent evilness and insensibility of my heart, that I often sinned with my mercy and hostility before my poor neighbor, did not take part in his poverty and misfortunes that happened to him, did not have human compassion for him, left Christian compassion in distress, did not visit, did not console, did not help him. In this I didn’t act as a child of God, because I was not merciful, as You,
My heavenly Father, and did not think about what Christ the Lord says: blessed are the merciful, for they will have mercy. I did not think of the final judgment at the Last Judgment: bring from Me, damned, to eternal fire; for I hungered, and you did not give me to eat; I was naked, and you did not clothe me; He was sick, and did not visit Me.
Merciful Father! Forgive me this grave sin, and do not impute it to me. Turn away the grave and righteous punishment from me, and make sure that judgment is not executed over me without mercy, but cover and forget my mercy for the sake of the mercy of your beloved Son.
Grant me a merciful heart, which would grieve over my neighbor’s distress, and make me soon and easily compelled to compassion. Grant me the grace that I contribute to the relief, and not to increase the sorrows and calamities that my neighbors endure; that I console him in his grief and show mercy with all his mournful spirit - to the sick, wanderers, widows and orphans; so that he would help them willingly and love not only in words, but in deed and truth.
Oh my God! You want mercy, not sacrifice. Make me clothed in cordial mercy, goodness, humility, patience, and willingly forgive, as Christ forgave me. Make it known that Thy great mercy is in me, because I am too small in front of all the mercy that You have shown over me from my birthday. Thy mercy preceded me when I lay in sins; it embraces me, it follows me wherever I go, and finally takes me to itself in eternal life. Amen.
How to help yourself?
Until a person wants to overcome his passion, no one can help him. Fighting that deeply rooted in the heart is very difficult. You can help yourself by visiting the temple regularly, embarking on the sacraments of confession and communion. The adoption of holy water and prosphora in the morning is one of the small steps on the road to fighting your passions.
Prayer rules, deducted only with the permission of the priest, notes submitted in the temple, magpies about health - all this helps a person spiritually. But no one canceled the independent struggle, because water does not flow under a lying stone, as you know.
Conclusion
Fighting is the basis of spiritual life. When a person fights with his passions, tries to work on himself and wants to change, God helps him. Prayer from anger and irritation is a spiritual sword in the fight against declared character traits.
