Prayers for prosperity in life. Which saint protects home, family, children, health: icons and prayers
Many people go to church only when big Orthodox holidays or when they want to ask God for help. But not everyone knows to whom and what they can pray. To which saints and in what need should one turn?
There is one folk saying: “Prayer flies from the heart to Heaven.” When turning to a holy saint, you must understand that you are not just uttering words, but are communicating with another person who sees and hears you perfectly. If you are not a church member, then some prayers from the prayer book will simply be incomprehensible to you. But also foreign language We also don’t master it right away. And Church Slavonic is not a foreign language - it is ours, originally Russian and native. Take, for example, a troparion to some saint - in this small prayer you will see the life of the saint, described in unusually beautiful and correct language. It will become clear to you why we ask this particular saint for something specific.

Each person has his own heavenly patron. You can turn to him or your favorite saint with any godly request. But under no circumstances should you ask them to punish someone, to send you untold riches and luxury, or for someone to love you. You turn to a saint to express your love, respect and reverence for him through prayer.
Archimandrite Markell (Pavuk), confessor of the Kyiv theological schools, explains what change prayer makes in a person.
– Why is prayer needed? Is it possible to pray for other people?
– In order for our body to live, we need food, and for our soul to live, we need prayer. It is no coincidence that many holy fathers say that the world stands through prayer. IN modern society, which relatively recently freed itself from the captivity of state atheism, most people, thank God, feel the need for prayer. If not all prayer rule, then, at least, many people know the “Our Father” prayer by heart and try to read it every day.
- Is that enough?
– The Lord Himself taught His disciples and followers the Lord’s Prayer. Its text is given in the Holy Gospel. In fact, in a few words of this prayer everything that is necessary for our salvation is stated. But over time, many other prayers arose, which are now published in prayer books and form the morning and evening prayer rules.
– Why are these additional prayers needed? Isn't it better to modern man, overloaded with thousands of tasks, be content in your life with one prayer, “Our Father”?
– It is possible that in early Christian communities, where people experienced great inspiration from recently experienced gospel events, reading one prayer, “Our Father,” was enough. As this first enthusiasm for faith waned, when many people began to come to the Church who could not immediately renounce their former bad habits and passions, there was a need to intensify prayer. The impoverishment of faith was already observed by the holy Apostle Paul. He writes about the deplorable spiritual state of some Romans, Corinthians, Cretans, and Greeks in his Epistles. Therefore, the apostle commanded everyone to pray without ceasing.
- Is it possible? After all, we have great difficulty reading even a short prayer rule, which takes us no more than half an hour, morning and evening, and for some less.
– As the experience of not only many devotees of piety, but also ordinary believers testifies, this is not only possible, but also necessary.
- Why?
– The fact is that, according to the teachings of the Apostle Paul, man is three-component. It consists of a spirit, which makes it related to God, a soul, which gives life to the body, and the body itself, with the help of which we move and can do something. When creating man, the Lord established a strict hierarchy between these parts. The body must obey the soul, and the soul must obey the spirit. When a person forgets about God (which happened and is still happening as a result of the Fall), then his spirit begins to live by the needs of the soul, and the soul - by the needs of the body.
– How does this manifest itself? After all, most people seem to be so kind, well-mannered, decent, tolerant, many have not one, but several higher education. What else are they missing?
– According to the thought of St. Theophan the Recluse, as a result of the Fall, the soul fell into the flesh and man became carnal, proud, proud, envious, and lustful. The body needs little to satisfy its needs for food and drink and procreation, but when the soul, which is constantly in motion (ever moving), falls into the flesh, then the needs of the body increase indefinitely. A person can eat and drink a lot, even because of this, experience health problems, but for him everything is not enough. He can't stop in time. Also, the lust of the flesh in him can be inflamed not only for procreation, but to the point of madness, when a man ceases to be content with his wife, but takes on more mistresses. And now society has already sunk so low morally that it wants to pass off even unnatural sins as the norm. And in general, one can observe that all his life a person, under the pressure of various worries, spins like a squirrel in a wheel, but as a result he is left with an emptiness that no earthly consolation can fill.
– In order to settle down at least a little, to find the true meaning of life, is this what prayer is for?
– Yes, prayer just helps restore the hierarchy between spirit, soul and body, broken by sin. The priest's exclamation during Divine Liturgy: “We have woe in our hearts” – reminds us of this all the time. That is, with the help of prayer we must lift our soul, the focus of which is the heart, upward and unite with God. If this happens, then the body's demands decrease sharply. It becomes easy for a person to fast and be content with little in food. Monks even completely renounce married life.
– But it can be very difficult for a person to tune in to prayer himself. What to do?
– To make it easier to distract yourself from the bustle of life and tune in to prayer, there is congregational prayer, in church during the service. Any difficult task becomes easy when we feel the support of other people. So in prayer, when the whole church is praying, then the most fussy and restless person also calms down and tunes in to prayer.
– If you feel that your prayer is still too weak, should you ask your loved ones to pray for you in difficult times?
- Necessarily. We become the Church in the true sense of the word only when we pray for each other. When everyone thinks only about himself, then even though such a person goes to church, it is doubtful that he is a member of the Church of Christ. In Transcarpathia, it is customary to remember aloud during the special litany all those standing in the church, as well as their relatives, near and far. And although because of this the duration of the service increases by almost half an hour, people are not burdened by this, but, on the contrary, rejoice, because they feel not alone, but members of the great Catholic Church.
– There is such a widespread belief in some Kyiv parishes that it is dangerous to pray for others, because in this way you can take on the sins of those people. This is true?
- In no case. The Church prays for everyone. First of all, about those who belong to it, and then about the peace of the whole world. You just cannot submit notes to the proskomedia with the names of those people who do not belong to the Church. But at home or when we stand in prayer in church, we can remember all the people we know, both believers and non-believers, Orthodox and non-Orthodox, both righteous and great sinners. If we don’t pray for people who are far from the Church, so that the Lord will enlighten, guide and have mercy on them, then who will pray for them?
“However, some people complain that when they start praying for others, for example, for their drunken neighbors or godless bosses, all sorts of personal problems arise. What to do in such a situation?
– Yes, the evil spirit really doesn’t like it when we pray for ourselves and for other people, he tries in every possible way to distract us from prayer, and sometimes even intimidate us (I know that for this reason some stopped going to church or went into schism); but in no case should we pay attention to his weak insolence; we must not be cowardly and cowardly, for then Satan can completely take power over us. On the contrary, we must strengthen our prayer for ourselves and for other people.

Not from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from the things that come in the darkness, from the destruction and the demon of the midday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness will not come near you at your right hand. Look with your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For you, O Lord, have set my hope as your refuge. They will take you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone, tread on the asp and the basilisk, and trample the lion and the serpent. I am in his tribulation, I will destroy him and glorify him, I will fill him with long days, I will show him My salvation.”
Venerable Moses Murin
ABOUT, great power repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber. You were horrified by your sins, grieved over them, and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and received Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles. Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze on them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their death, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (name), who were possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure One By the blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen".
Symbol of faith
“I believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible, in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, God the truth and from God the truth , born, not created, consubstantial with the Father, who for our sake came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and who was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and who suffered and was buried. on the third day, according to the Scriptures. And He ascended into heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father. And He will again be with the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end. and glorify the prophets. In the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, I confess one baptism for the remission of sins and the life of the future century.
Prayer of spouses without children
“Hear us, Merciful and Almighty God, may Your grace be sent down through our prayer. Be merciful, Lord, to our prayer, remember Your law about the multiplication of the human race and be a merciful Patron, so that with Your help what You have established will be preserved. He created everything out of nothing and laid the foundation for everything that exists in the world - He also created man in His image and sanctified the union of marriage with a sublime mystery as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the unity of Christ with the Church. Look, O Merciful One, upon us, Your servants, united in a marital union and begging for Your help. , may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and to the desired old age, live and enter the Kingdom of Heaven by the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due Holy Spirit forever and ever."
Daily Prayers
When you wake up in the morning, mentally say the following words:
“In our hearts is the Lord God, in front is the Holy Spirit; help me with you to start, live and finish the day.”
When going on a long journey or just for some business, it’s good to mentally say:
"My angel, come with me: you are ahead, I am behind you." And the Guardian Angel will help you in any endeavor.
To improve your life, it is good to read the following prayer daily:
“Merciful Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ and the Power of the Holy Spirit, save, preserve and have mercy on me, the servant of God (name). Take away from me the damage, the evil eye and bodily pain forever. Merciful Lord, cast out the demon from me, the servant of God. Merciful Lord, heal me, the servant of God (name).
If you are worried about your loved ones, say the following prayer until calm comes:
“Lord, save, preserve, have mercy (names of loved ones). Everything will be fine with them!”
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 what to decide 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 truly faithful helpers 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 prefer St. Seraphim of Sarov, others prefer St. 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 people 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.
