How to find your love
Prayer for meeting your soulmate helps people who are tired of frivolous relationships.
Someone hopes for a happy chance meeting, someone is looking for a chosen one on dating sites, many do not spare their time communicating with girls online. Everything will depend on your intentions and desire to create a family that will be a fortress that can withstand all life’s problems.
You can build a family hearth, the foundation of which will not stand on sand, but on a solid foundation of mutual love, respect and patience. To do this, support your desire with the power of Orthodox prayers and petitions to the Lord.
A girl's prayer for marriage
Oh, All-merciful Lord, I know that my great happiness depends on the fact that I love You with all my soul and with all my heart, and that I fulfill Your holy will in everything. Rule Yourself, O my God, over my soul and fill my heart: I want to please You alone, for You are the Creator and my God.
Save me from pride and self-love: let reason, modesty and chastity adorn me. Idleness is disgusting to You and gives rise to vices, so give me the desire for hard work and bless my labors. Since Your Law commands people to live in honest marriage, then lead me, Holy Father, to this calling sanctified by You, not to please my lust, but to fulfill Your destiny him, for You Yourself said: it is not good for a man to be alone, and having created for him a wife as a helper, he blessed them to grow, multiply and populate the earth.
Hear my humble prayer, sent to You from the depths of a girl’s heart; give me an honest and pious spouse, so that in love with him and in harmony we glorify You, the merciful God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
In what cases will prayers not help?
Don’t think that after praying you will immediately get everything you want. It's a delusion. Prayer is a frank conversation with God, for which you need to prepare and have the appropriate mental attitude.
First ask: “Do I have faith that only God controls my life, and I am only His creation, endowed with free will?” Just as a rocket needs fuel to take off, so our prayer, in order to reach the Almighty, needs unshakable faith in Him. Without this, appeals remain unheard.
“I want it quickly and with a minimum of effort,” this is what people often think when they want to get something. This scheme does not work in communication with God. Having looked through our heart, the Lord will see all the hidden thoughts, insincerity of prayer and consumerist attitude, leaving the petition unanswered.
No matter how good our intentions are in relationships with loved ones, there is no need to transfer our own desires to the personality of another person. An elderly mother may be tired of caring for her over-aged unmarried son. She envies her friends whose children have long since started families, because a woman’s soul wants to babysit her grandchildren.
A request addressed to higher powers with faith and hope will certainly come true.
Her prayers to create a family for her son will be useless if the man does not want this. God has given us the right to make decisions in our own lives. Do not interfere in the fate of other people, no matter how dear they may be to you. Humble yourself and ask Jesus Christ to forgive your sins and guide your son on the path of saving his soul.
You can often hear the phrase: “Pray for me.” There are problems when prayerful help is simply necessary: a serious illness, a disaster, a hopeless situation.
But it is important for God that we treat our lives consciously and ask for our own needs. When creating a strong and happy family, a man cannot do without prayers that enlighten and strengthen him on this difficult path.
Prayer to get married is not a magical love spell
In Orthodoxy there are no witchcraft rituals to attract the attention of the opposite sex and have a successful marriage. Love spells, conspiracies, fortune telling for the “betrothed” and similar actions are pagan and have nothing to do with Orthodoxy. Moreover, the Church condemns activities of this kind as ungodly and destructive of a person’s soul, because they imply a connection with dark forces.
A prayer to create a family is not a spell that automatically grants a wish. This is a heartfelt appeal to God or the saints, in which a person expresses his request, hopes and hopes, but at the same time humbly bows to the will of the Almighty. In the book “To the Unknown Child” you can find useful words from Archimandrite John (Krestyankin) that in life everything happens on time for those who know how to wait. We don't always get what we ask for right away. Real faith involves realizing that God knows best what we need and when we need it.
Therefore, a Christian joyfully entrusts his life to the Creator. The purpose of Christian life is the union of human and God's will. A girl’s prayer for marriage should be imbued with humility and trust in God. The answer can be given in a variety of forms, but a sincere appeal to the Almighty will never go unanswered.
Who to ask for help
A repentant heart, humility and confidence in God's protection will help a person in his prayer requests. Try to come to church, attend the service, go to confession, take communion. All this is not a simple formality, but preparation of the soul for a conversation with the Lord.
Participation in the life of the church, prayers at icons, and submission of notes should not be mechanical actions. When praying, turn to Jesus Christ asking for forgiveness of sins and mercy. Believe, always give thanks and know that “the pure in heart will see God.”
A joint prayer between mother and son asking for help in starting a family has great power. Say:
“Lord Jesus Christ, we, Thy servants (names), come running to you and humbly ask, forgive all our sins, voluntary and involuntary, cleanse our souls from evil. You alone know the thoughts of hearts, guide us on the path of knowledge of your holy truth and accept our petition. May your holy name be glorified forever and ever. Amen".
In prayer requests, Orthodox Christians also turn to the Most Holy Theotokos, the Angelic Orders and saints. Their intercession before the Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, helps people find family happiness.
How the Blessed Virgin Mary helps you find a husband
The reasons why a girl cannot get married can be very different.
A prayer request to the Mother of God is necessary in the following cases:
- It is difficult for a girl, despite her efforts, to find a person close in spirit.
- a woman is courted by several men at once, she cannot decide who to give preference to;
- The young people date for quite a long time, but the young man drags his feet with his marriage proposal.
The prayer of the Most Holy Mother of God will help a woman find peace of mind, sort out her feelings, and find a worthy chosen one.
How to order a prayer service for creating a family
In order for the prayer request to gain strength, we read prayers and akathists in the prayer book, and also order a prayer service. Having entered the temple, go to the church shop and order a prayer service to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church.
Today you can order a prayer service for the family and pray in the church near various icons.
During the service conducted by the priest, be in the temple, humbly and reverently listen to the prayers read and pronounced by him.
Place candles in front of the icons of the Savior, the Blessed Virgin and saints. Pray yourself, bowing your heart. And believe that everything is possible with God.
Prayers for creating a family for men
Men, just like women, suffer from loneliness, lies and betrayal. Often, behind feigned bravado or ridicule, they hide a burning desire to meet a loving, devoted and reliable wife.
The prayer requests of a man who decides to create a family hearth are sent to the Lord, the Most Pure Virgin and the holy saints. A strong man, strengthened in faith, is able to become a support and protection for his future family - the small church of Christ.
Seek help and pray in front of the icons:
- Lord Jesus Christ.
- Holy Mother of God.
- Archangel Gabriel.
- Ksenia of Petersburg.
- Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justina.
Ksenia of Petersburg
The prayer of Ksenia of St. Petersburg is a unique opportunity to change your life.
If a man is responsible in choosing a woman who will become a faithful companion in life, he can ask for help from Blessed Ksenia.
In the temple, place a candle in front of the icon and say:
“Oh, all-blessed mother Xenia! Before your holy image, I humbly pray, ask the Lord Jesus Christ, our God, that He may forgive us all our sins and guide us on the path of knowing His holy truth. Give us, all-validated Mother Ksenia, protection and prayerful help, illuminate family ties with love. Instill in our hearts patience and meekness towards our neighbors, so that we may glorify the One God in the Trinity. Forever and ever. Amen".
Archangel Gabriel
If a man has firmly decided to build his future life with his chosen one on the principles of love, mutual trust and respectful attitude of spouses, he should turn to the Higher Heavenly Powers for help. Pray to one of God's faithful servants, Archangel Gabriel. He came to earth to tell people about the birth of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ. The icon of the heavenly warrior is present in all Orthodox churches.
Approach her, light a candle and calm the racing thoughts, say:
“Oh, Holy Archangel Gabriel, who brought the good news to the Most Pure Virgin about the conception of the Son of God! Hear your prayers and beg the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive all our sins, voluntary and involuntary. Save us from all troubles and intrigues of the enemy of the human race. Guide me on the path of true faith. May your holy name be glorified. Forever and ever. Amen".
After prayer, turn to Archangel Gabriel with a request to meet a good girl and create a strong and friendly family, and your request will be heard.
Hieromartyr Cyprian
Having decided to get married and start a family, ask for prayerful support from the holy martyr Cyprian, who, together with the martyr Justina, accepted death for faith in Christ.
You can read a prayer from a prayer book or say in your own words:
“Holy Martyr Cyprian, quick helper to all who call to you. Accept praise from me, God's servant (name), and ask the Lord God for forgiveness of my sins, so that I may be delivered from unclean thoughts and deeds. Strengthen my weak will, guide me on the path of humility and piety. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
Prayers for restoration or creation of a family can be read to Cyprian.
Jesus Christ
The Holy Trinity sanctifies the life of the church and its parishioners, and Orthodox prayers are directed to the foundation of our faith - to the Savior. Whether we call on the Most Holy Theotokos in everyday troubles, whether we need the help of holy saints, or ask for protection from martyrs, we always direct our hearts to Jesus Christ.
Mothers hoping for a quick and happy marriage of their sons turn to the Lord in their prayers, asking for His mercy and support in choosing a bride. A mother's request, filled with humility and love, has great power, if it is not her personal desire.
After all, it also happens that a mother prays for her son’s marriage, knowing that he does not want to part with his free and irresponsible bachelor life. In this case, there will be no benefit from such a request. Pray to the Lord and ask Jesus Christ to guide your son on the path of right life.
Say with humility:
“Lord, You see the hearts of men, forgive all our sins. Have mercy, guide my son, God’s servant (name), on the path of truth. Instill in him the spirit of righteousness and humility. Teach me to walk in the light of Your truth. Amen".
A man can read the “Our Father” prayer or an akathist to Jesus Christ from the prayer book, or come to the temple and order a prayer service. Your presence during the prayer service is important, because by doing this you will confirm your firm and voluntary decision to find a chosen one who will become a good wife and housewife, a caring mother to your children.
