Prayer to Alexander the Roman against laziness

One of the most famous prayers against laziness is the prayer to Alexander of Rome.

You can turn to a saint when a person cannot pull himself together to begin any task.

Alexander the Roman was a warrior. The emperor ordered everyone to go to the temple of Zeus and make a sacrifice. Alexander refused, and that’s why he was killed.

But before his death, he prayed to God that afterward everyone would turn to him in prayer. And it will help get rid of various diseases and laziness.

O glorious servant and martyr of Christ, worthy warrior of the Heavenly King, blessed Alexander, imitator of the merciful God, who boldly confessed Christ on earth and endured manifold torments for His sake, you have received an unfading crown in heaven:
Now, together with your matter, Pimenia, standing at the Throne of the Glory of God, pray for us from God’s compassionate compassion, so that He will do with us according to His ineffable goodness, so that we do not perish in our sins.
To her, holy martyr, we know that you have had much boldness to the Lord to pray for all those who come to You with faith.
Offer a warm prayer to the Creator Church for the peace of the whole world, the prosperity of the Holy Churches of God and the unification of all the faithful children of the Church of Christ, who live in purity and honor, and to deliver the Orthodox flock from the heavy storms of everyday life and all the slander of the spirit of wickedness in high places.
With the breath of the All-Holy Spirit, may the hearts of the sons of disobedience, tearing apart the robe of unity of the Church of Christ, be softened by the power of Divine peace and love for the healing of His bleeding wound in the universe, and for the salvation of all living on earth.
For us, faithful friend of Christ, be our Intercessor and Patron all the days of our life, delivering us from enemies visible and invisible, and moreover, after our departure, protect us from evil spirits,
and at the Last Judgment of Christ, do not forget us poor through your warm intercession, so that, having improved some of those who are saved, we will glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever.
Amen.

What is laziness and how to deal with it

Where does laziness come from?
What does the future hold for the lazy? How to get rid of this vice? Archpriest Alexander Avdyugin reflects. - Father, I’m a sinner, laziness overcomes me.

- So fight her.

- I can’t, father, I’m lazy.

The statement “I have God in my soul,” familiar to many, is just an everyday excuse for ordinary laziness. Just not the one that comes from the principle “it will do!”, but the other – the unwillingness to leave the bliss and pleasure of one’s own body.

In order to look “spectacular” in appearance, to smell like Dior, to have jewelry sparkle unobtrusively, and to have the labels of leading companies visible in the folds of clothes, laziness is usually absent. Everything will be done for the next “ah!” girlfriends or “cool!” colleague.

You have enough strength, you have the means, and you don’t need to add an extra hour to the day.

But as soon as the priest advises you to buy a prayer book and pray religiously every day, and even go to church sometimes, then it immediately becomes clear that you have neither the time, nor the funds, and you don’t have enough health.

— There are three most difficult things in life. The first thing is to repay debts. The second is to care for elderly parents. The third thing is to pray to God.

In fact, failure to do these three things are serious sins that become “mortal” if you do not repent of them and get rid of them.

Spiritual laziness is a contagious thing, it is spreading everywhere, and the rate of its spread is by no means inferior to any swine and bird flu. In a family where the concepts of God and faith are limited only to discussions about morality and morality, the Bible is just a beautiful book on the shelf, and an icon is the decoration of the apartment, in the very near future there will be an infection of those whom we consider our heirs.

The next generation of this family will definitely replace the word of God with its popular presentation with pictures, and the icon there will begin to coexist with a shaman’s mask or the next blue horse of the next calendar year.

They try to give abstruse explanations of spiritual laziness, to bring philosophical, social and even political meaning into it. Concepts such as tolerance, syncretism, cosmopolitanism, globalization (you can still find a dozen) are by no means scientific definitions, subject only to the modern educated mind and characterizing a person and society. Not at all. Each of these words came from an elementary and primitive desire to justify one’s own spiritual laziness.

Go to the ant, slothful one, look at its actions, and be wise. He has neither a boss, nor a guardian, nor a master; but he prepares his grain in the summer, and gathers his food in the harvest. How long will you sleep, lazy man? When will you arise from your sleep? (Prov. 6:6–9)

I passed the field of a lazy man and the vineyard of a weak-minded man: and behold, it was all overgrown with thorns, its surface was covered with nettles, and its stone fence collapsed. And I looked, and turned my heart, and looked, and learned a lesson (Prov. 24:30-32).

You can, of course, find more radical, a kind of surgical methods of getting rid of this defect, but due to the rise of juvenile justice from spiritual laziness, I will not give them in detail here. Whoever wants to know the recipes, I refer you to a good book with a very kind and practical title: “Domostroy”. There is another effective remedy: ask your grandparents how and who helped them get rid of the sins of laziness...

It's worse when laziness becomes a vice. It, like drunkenness, is often a symptom of a more serious spiritual illness, which in the face of others, by hook or by crook, they try to hide or justify. It will not be possible to hide for a long time, there is nothing secret that will not become apparent, says Scripture, and justification will only lead to the spread of sin and will predetermine other actions that are by no means of God’s origin.

In the end, laziness leads to a terrible desire: to get rid of the need to think, make decisions and be responsible for them.

“Laziness, open it, you’ll burn!”

- I’ll burn, but I won’t open it...

Prayers for good studies at school and university to Jesus Christ, Mother of God

Conspiracies against laziness and apathy are an effective and very easy way to escape from inaction, gain strength and energy of life for new beginnings and victories.

We can definitely say that negative emotions deprive one of strength and prevent a person from being successful and achieving his goals. They hinder and slow down the achievement of the goal, forcing you to constantly back away or stagnate in one place. Special spells will help you cope with laziness and apathy.

Conspiracies for laziness

Laziness is considered a strong egregor. It drains vital energy, brings misfortune and devastation, which prevents you from breathing fully. It is not without reason that Christians consider despondency a grave sin, because its essence is comparable to a renunciation of one’s divine destiny. You can free yourself from laziness using proven folk methods, as well as with the help of effective conspiracies.

“Bread is the head of everything, hear my words. Heal with inspiration, reward with vitality. I can’t be lazy anymore—I can’t sit without work. My words are locked.”

After reading, the bread and honey should be eaten by the person for whom you read the plot, or you yourself, if the plot is for you.

“My spirit is strong, and my pressure will appear and respond to my will. I will find success. I'll get some luck. Not from laziness, but from strength, not from chance, but from desire. No sooner said than done".

“Just as laziness will never be useful, so it will never cross my threshold. As soon as the sun rises, I will wake up with it, and not a trace of laziness will remain. My words are strong."

Conspiracies against apathy

Your child is not always ready or able to learn as well as you want. But your desire is not the main thing. His future is much more important. Help your child study well with a simple spell. It will help a schoolchild or student. As long as a person studies, your plot will work.

Only parents can do them, because only they have a special energetic connection with their son or daughter. It is easier to study well than to study poorly. Show this to your child, and he will definitely thank you later for your support and efforts.

Candle spell

“Quick thoughts, quick deeds, strong memory! Wisdom and cunning mix in the water, Come together and let the servant of God (name) cross. So that my child would shine with his intelligence and amaze everyone with his intelligence. From now on forever. Amen!"

Cross the child, let him cross himself.

“I let you out of my sight, but leave you in my heart. I will watch over you, protect you, save you, and prevent troubles from happening. Blood from my blood, flesh from my flesh, you are no relative to me. Amen".

Such conspiracies are read every day and soon become a habit. It's not long, so it won't take you much time.

While you speak, imagine how hard the child is studying.

Prayer is a conspiracy

“Lord Jesus Christ, our God, truly dwelled in the hearts of the twelve apostles and by the power of the grace of the All-Holy Spirit, who descended in the form of tongues of fire, and opened their mouths, so that they began to speak in other languages! Lord Jesus Christ Himself, our God, send down Your Holy Spirit on this youth (name) and plant in his heart the Holy Scripture, which Your most pure hand inscribed on the tablets of the lawgiver Moses, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

When you finish reading, cross yourself. If a child says it to you, let him cross himself too.

It helps well those who, for various reasons, cannot concentrate well in class and are distracted. It is very useful to read it before important tests and exams. Start a month in advance, repeat several times.

Christian egregor helps students very well

Conspiracies that increase intelligence should traditionally be read by the father. The mother can do it too, but the effect will be weaker. The father takes a candle in one hand and places the second (right) on the child’s head.

If he categorically does not want to take part in the ritual, do not force him. This way of coercion will not achieve anything, you will only anger the child.

If you don’t believe in him and resort to prayers and magic, then he’s worth absolutely nothing—that’s what your child may think. Don't let this turn of events happen.

“O Lord our God and Creator, who adorned us, people, with His image, taught Your chosen ones Your Law, so that those who listen to it marvel, Who revealed to children the secrets of wisdom, Who bestowed upon Solomon and all who sought it, open the hearts, minds and lips of these Your servants (names disciples) in order to understand the power of Thy Law and successfully learn the useful teaching taught by it for the glory of Thy Most Holy Name, for the benefit and structure of Thy Holy Church and the understanding of Thy good and perfect will.

Deliver them from all the snares of the enemy, keep them in the faith of Christ and purity all the time of their lives, - may they be strong in mind and in fulfilling Your commandments and so taught, glorify Your Most Holy Name and be heirs of Your Kingdom, - for You, God, are strong by mercy and goodness and strength, and all glory, honor and worship is due to You, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen".

So every night, while he sleeps on his pillow, the spell works to help him.

Icons will help. If you are a believing family, then put an icon in the child’s room, buy a body icon. Several icons will help you. Pray to them that he studies well, gets his head together and doesn’t play truant:

Venerable Sergius of Radonezh;
Venerable Seraphim of Sarov;
Ksenia Petersburgskaya (helps those who pass exams, defends their diploma);
Saint Matrona;
Martyr Xenia;
Icon Addition of Mind.

It will be easier for your children if they feel your support. Do not scold them in vain, because years pass, school and college pass, and it is difficult to restore bad relationships with children.

O great martyr Alexander, accept from us this wretched glorification, as a tribute to the prayer of those who are distant in time, honorers of your sufferings, and come to our aid, when our spirit faints, we are tormented by the spirit of malice in heaven, so that we may not fall before the Face of God.

Having understood the crafty and unfaithful evil of the pagans, you strove in every possible way to separate you from Christ, you despised the commands of the tormentor Tiberian to the end, O glorious warrior Alexander, you valiantly bowed your head under the sword of the speculator Kelestin, since you have angelically testified your loyalty to Christ.
We, who have become impoverished in virtues, ask your prayers to the All-Bountiful God, that He may save and have mercy on the world, in the strife of everyday life and the destruction of evil.
For all the faces of God and the King of the universe, perceiving the many faces of the passion-bearers, you were kindled with divine jealousy, O Alexandra, and you cried out to the Lord: I am always a sincere servant of Christ, understand the torment of iniquity, for the gentle lamb has now come to sacrifice for Christ by will.
I have clothed myself with gentleness, I strive to put the malice of the recipient to shame, so that the power of Christ may be glorified in the weak flesh of human nature.
Like an unfading star in the firmament of Heaven, like the most valiant of the martyrs and champion of the faithful, with the crimson blood of his woven garment, we will forever reign with Christ, martyr Alexander.
May everyone who suffers from physical and mental ills, and is attacked by human slander, be comforted at your feet, and most of all, may the Lord not turn His Face away from us who sing your memory, so that we will not be ashamed on the Day of Judgment.

Glory, the same voice:

Your glorious feat, martyr Alexandra, adorn the east with the radiance of faith, and illuminate the west with the ray of knowledge, with your fiery purification according to Christ, the ranks of the angels were amazed: how you passed the humility of the sorrowful path and the crampedness of your life and renewed the baptism of rebirth with your blood, and shining more than the light, to your King You appeared where you now deservedly rejoice.
Moreover, fall to the Lord, O all-blessed one, that He may deliver the Holy Church from schisms and disorder, and protect His flock from the wolves that are destroying Her.

And now, Mother of God, the voice is the same.

The doxology is great.

Prayer to fight laziness

Miraculous words: a prayer to combat laziness in full description from all the sources we found.

All people love to be lazy. A person hesitates, delays, postpones deadlines, hoping to avoid starting his duties as long as possible. But how to overcome laziness? Is there any effective remedy that can fight it?

It turns out that such a remedy really exists. It's called a prayer against laziness.

A strong prayer against laziness is said after the sloth understands the nature of laziness itself. This may not necessarily be weakness or promiscuity. Sometimes laziness can be a signal from the body about the presence of more serious diseases.

Reduced ability to work, for example, is observed as a symptom of low blood pressure or decreased blood glucose levels.

This may be a consequence of heart failure. In this case, you won’t be able to fight it on your own; you’ll have to contact a specialist.

It is interesting that the sin of laziness in church sources can also be called the sin of despondency. Dealing with it can be very difficult, but it is possible.

Communication with the Lord

Any prayer is a dialogue between man and God. If you want the Lord to answer your prayer, you need to pay attention to the following:

Prayer is communication with God, a conversation with him, so be serious;
It is necessary to offer prayer yourself;
Close your eyes while pronouncing words to make it easier to concentrate;
Prayer must come from the heart.

Only when you understand this, only then will you begin to fight laziness correctly, and your words will be heard by God.

Believe in the power of prayer!

The most powerful prayers will not work if you do not believe in their power. Below are several types of prayers that will help you fight the disease of laziness.

Orthodox prayers for the disease of laziness. Laziness is considered the machinations of the Evil One, and therefore requires the adoption of special measures - prayer. Only through it is it possible to cure obsession.

Prayer appears here as a disease that must be gotten rid of in order to find happiness. He often ascends to his Guardian Angel.

Orthodox prayer for laziness to Saint Alexander of Rome. He asks for the blessing of the saint for healing from a lazy illness. Recognizes the weakness of spirit of the one offering the prayer. A petition is offered to Alexander of Rome to overthrow laziness in order to gain the opportunity to do good deeds.

You can address your Guardian Angel with prayer words to receive help from him. At the same time, it is not at all necessary to memorize the texts of exactly those prayers - use the words that you yourself wish. The main thing is that they come from the heart.

What to expect after reading the prayer

Willpower will help you achieve what you want.

By offering prayers to the Guardian Angel, a person concentrates on the result. It is thanks to this concentration that he begins to believe in his accomplishment, fighting laziness. He begins to have ideas that need urgent implementation, and nothing can keep him in place when fired up with enthusiasm.

Good day. For a very long time I was an incredibly lazy person. I could lie on the couch for hours and do absolutely nothing. My relatives and friends could not do anything with me. Except for the only person, my beloved grandmother.

For a long time I considered faith to be stupid, but over time it happened that there was no one to ask for an answer except from the Lord. Only by opening my heart was I able to somehow change my life for the better.

Having turned to faith, I began to strive for something and was finally able to overcome my laziness.

We sincerely thank you for your donation!

God help you, through the prayers of the holy righteous and blessed Eldress Matrona of Moscow!

I am a believer, and I have experienced the power of prayer more than once. When you communicate alone with the Lord, you are surrounded by the grace of God, and after sincere prayer your soul becomes so light and good that it cannot be expressed in words.

As for the article, laziness is one of the deadly sins, and one of the most insidious, I think... Because it creeps up unnoticed and is very sweet for us sinners. I saw strong prayers here, thanks to the authors.

Sometimes they say that laziness was born ahead of you. And this is the absolute truth. There are so many unresolved problems, but I don’t want to do anything. To get rid of laziness, pray.

How I don’t want to get up in the morning and go to work.

There's a sale in the store again, but I'm too lazy to get off the couch.

We can continue to list a certain stagnation in purposeful movements.

Orthodox prayers will help you, which will give you strength for successful aspirations.

When you have free time, light 3 candles.

Place an icon of Jesus Christ, Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Blessed Eldress Matrona of Moscow nearby.

Sincerely wish to overcome your laziness.

If it is not a disease of the musculoskeletal system or another merciless ailment, do not look for excuses.

Wonderworker Nicholas, God's Pleasant. Deliver me from sinful laziness, and give me a little haste. Let him reject weakness and unbelief, God will send him luck and patience. Thy will be done. Amen.

Blessed Elder, Matrona of Moscow. Every day passes in lazy boredom, melancholy brings to mind sad thoughts. Cleanse the soul that angers Christ, let it go on for miles with prayer. Thy will be done. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. Don’t punish me harshly for my laziness, I beg you, give me strength. Guide me on the Orthodox path, live by faith and make me joyful. Thy will be done. Amen.

Cross yourself heartily. You blow out the candles.

May God help you!

Communication with the Lord

Prayer for depression - Saint Tikhon

Saint Tikhon of Zadonsk had the gift of foresight. He constantly prayed for the healing of the sick. There were many people whom he healed from mental illness.

The saint helps during life situations and helps to cope with depression. Memorial Day of Tikhon Zadonsky July 19

Prayer for depression

O all-praised Saint and Servant of Christ, our Father Tikhon! Having lived like an angel on earth, you, like a good angel, appeared in your wondrous glorification. We believe with all our souls and thoughts that you, our merciful helper and prayer book, are constantly contributing to our salvation through your honest intercessions and the grace abundantly bestowed upon you from the Lord.

Strive, quick intercessor for us, to beg the Lord with your favorable intercession, may He add His great and rich mercy to us sinners and unworthy His servants, may He heal with His grace the incurable ulcers and scabs of our corrupted souls and bodies, may our petrified hearts dissolve with tears of tenderness and Contrition for our many sins and may He deliver us from eternal torment and the fire of Gehenna;

For depression you can also read Psalm 90

Living in the help of the highest, in the shelter of the heavenly God, the Lord will say: You are my intercessor and my refuge, my God and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from the words of the Rebellious, His blanket will overshadow you, And under His wing you trust, His Truth will bypass you as an instrument. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow flying during the day, from the thing that comes in the darkness, from the cloak and the midday demon. Thousands and thousands will fall from your country at your right hand, but they will not come close to you.

Behold Your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. No evil will come to you, and no wound will come near your body. As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, and once they dash your foot on a stone, you will step on and cross an asp and a basilisk, a lion and a serpent.
