In our world we should always be wary of evil forces. They surround every person and never sleep. To protect yourself or your family from bad influences, church ministers recommend using sacred words. The prayer directed to Saint Cyprian and Ustinje has great power. It can protect a person from any harm. All the demons who hear her run away in fear.
Life of Saint Cyprian
The history of the great martyrs began a long time ago in the city of Antioch. There lived a little boy whose name was Cyprian. His life was spent in a pagan family; his parents did not recognize Christianity. When Cyprian reached the age of seven, he was sent to study with the priests who worshiped the god Apollo. He was a diligent student, so by the age of 10 he had become much more successful in witchcraft than his peers.
After the boy reached his eleventh year, he was sent to study at Mount Olympus. There he was taught by the most experienced and powerful priests. Every day he learned something new, advancing in the art of witchcraft.
He was taught to bring misfortune to people, and due to the lack of a positive example, Cyprian considered this right and acceptable. He could send illness or damage to an entire city; people and animals died from his witchcraft. In his dark cave, he read demonic books, plunging more and more into the abyss of sin.

By adulthood, Cyprian had become so powerful that none of the sorcerers could compare with him. People contacted him about the following questions:
- resurrection of the dead;
- calling the souls of deceased relatives;
- damage to enemy property.
Cyprian became a subject of the devil himself. He was amazed at the depth of his knowledge, and therefore allowed him to use the power of demons. If necessary, Cyprian simply, by the power of his witchcraft, summoned the demon he needed and gave him a task. Many people died because of the magician's activities, but he was not going to stop.
Despite the fact that many believers turned to the Lord for help from the actions of the sorcerer, the Almighty did not kill the rebellious magician. God is almighty and merciful - he wanted to make Cyprian believe too.
Meeting of Cyprian and Ustinia
In the same city where there was a powerful sorcerer, a beautiful girl named Justina lived with her family. From childhood she was a pagan, like her parents, but upon reaching a more mature age, she converted to the Christian faith. After this, her parents believed in the Almighty. After accepting the faith, she often went to church, prayed and fasted.
A young man named Aglaid sought her attention. The whole city knew him as a wild man. He was not against loud parties and alcohol. Justina also knew about this. She tried to avoid him, but from her charm Aglaid completely lost his head and did not want to hear anything about refusal. Then the girl tried to avoid Aglaid. This option did not suit him, so he began to threaten her parents. The girl was adamant - she protected herself from men, intending to go to a monastery and become the bride of Christ.
Aglaid and his comrades tried to kidnap the girl more than once, but each time Justina ran away, thanking the Lord for her salvation. Since then, Justina tried not to go out alone - there was always someone with her for protection. She devoted all her free time to prayer so that the Lord would protect her.

Then Aglaid decided to take a desperate step. He turned to Cyprian to use his witchcraft to push the girl to sin. At first, the magician did not want to take on such a small matter, but the gold and precious stones that Aglaid offered quickly convinced him. He decided to send a special demon to the girl with the help of his sorcery, which is capable of causing passion in the hearts of people. One evening it seemed to Justinia that there was someone else in her room. She felt a storm of desire take over her body and it was very difficult for her to resist it. With the last of her strength, she crossed herself and began to pray to the Lord.
After this, the demon retreated. Cyprian was shocked by the failure. He could not believe that his magic had no effect on a simple girl. He could not even admit the thought that his demons were powerless against sincere faith, so he continued to send demons, each time they were stronger. Ustinya had to pray almost constantly in order to somehow fight them. The Lord carefully protected the girl, each time driving the demons away from her.
After this, Cyprian became truly furious. He sent various curses, illnesses, and damage to the girl and her family, but she was adamant. He decided to act more cruelly - Cyprian sent diseases to the inhabitants of the city. They prayed to the girl to marry Aglaid and all the torment would stop, but Ustinya only continued to sincerely pray to the Almighty for the salvation of people. Everyone who fell ill due to witchcraft was healed. All the people in the city began to rejoice and glorify the powers of Christ. After this incident, people converted to faith.

Seeing that nothing was helping from the prayers of a simple girl, Cyprian became furious. He summoned the devil and entered into battle with him, but the demon was much stronger and more skillful. He began to defeat the man. Then Cyprian realized that faith in good can always defeat evil. He repented of his sins, began to pray and the devil retreated.
Exorcism by Cyprian
After this, Cyprian abandoned sorcery. He burned all the demonic books and began to study Christianity. He begged for forgiveness day and night for everything he had done. Soon he received the rank of priest and guided many people on the righteous path. Justina began to live a quiet life, spending it in prayer and serving the Lord. She became the abbess at the temple, instructing young girls on the true path. These saints became a symbol of the victory of good over evil. Every Christian who wants to get rid of evil or witchcraft turns to them.
The prayer to Cyprian and Justina is very strong, so it can be used even in the most difficult cases.

Prayer text
The life of the saints was tragic. Dark times soon followed for Christians. They were persecuted and persecuted. Opponents of the faith slandered Cyprian and Justina. Their words were enough for the saints to be sentenced to a terrible execution. They were tortured for many days and nights, and after death their bodies were simply thrown into the street. Christians took them and transported them to Rome, where they buried them with honors. After this, believers began to come to their grave and ask for protection from troubles.

The prayer to Cyprian and Ustinya is read in an abbreviated version in Russian as follows:
Prayer against corruption and witchcraft
“O holy servant of God, Hieromartyr Cyprian, quick helper and prayer book for all who come running to you!
Accept this praise from us, the unworthy, ask the Lord God for strength in weaknesses, consolation in sorrows, and everything useful to everyone in our life; Offer up your powerful prayer to the Lord, may he protect us from the falls of sin, may he teach us true repentance, may he deliver us from the captivity of the devil and all the actions of unclean spirits and tame those who offend us.
Be a strong champion for us against all enemies, visible and invisible, grant us patience in temptation and at the hour of our death, show us intercession from the torturers in the air ordeals, so that, led by you, we will reach the Mountain of Jerusalem and be worthy in the Heavenly Kingdom with all the saints to glorify and sing the holy name Father and Son and Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen."
Basic recommendations for reading prayer
If a person is sincere in his request, then the Lord will always be with him. A person can always count on being protected from evil spirits and misfortunes. People turn to the Hieromartyr Cyprian for this. For the martyr Justina they offer petitions, and she never refuses anyone a sincere request.
Only those who have undergone the sacrament of baptism pray to the holy martyrs. In the opposite situation, such an Orthodox prayer will lose its protective properties. It is best to turn to the saints when there is love for the Almighty and faith in him in your heart. Those who turn only in times of danger or trouble, but forget about God in joy and prosperity, cannot receive help.

You need to place a note in it, in which you need to clearly and in block letters write the name of the saint to whom you need to read the prayer service, your own name. You can write down what is necessary - a request to the saints or gratitude. Then the Orthodox prayer will be read in the temple where all believers pray.

Prayer in the temple
To increase the effect of prayer and give it more power, you can pray in a temple. You don't need any special preparations for this. All you need is a person’s faith that life can change. If witchcraft has brought physical illness, you can turn to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help. For a long time, this saint treated those people who came to him for help. To do this, you need to purchase one candle and place it in front of the saint’s face. This saint can help get rid of the evil eye or hatred of other people.

No need to read special texts. To make a petition, you can simply read “Our Father” and ask for help from the bottom of your heart. Then Saint Nicholas will be able to join in the protection given by Cyprian and Ustinha.
In order for the saints to be protected from damage or the evil eye, it is necessary to stand in front of the face and light a candle. After this, the “Our Father” is said three times. A person must cross himself and bow to the face. Now you need to repeat the short text-appeal to the saints. You need to say it 7 times. It is advisable to do this quietly but clearly. After each reading, a person must cross himself and thank him for his help.
After completing the reading of the prayer, you need to consolidate the effect. This is done using the following words:
You need to repeat these strong words 12 times. After this, you need to bow to the faces again and go home. On this day, it is better to try to do several good deeds - you can give alms to those who ask near the church.
At home
If you have an icon depicting saints at home, you can read the prayer in your room. The most powerful prayer can only be said when a person is alone. This can help enhance the effectiveness of words.
First you need to purchase an icon of saints if you don’t have one at home. To do this, you can contact any temple in the city. It is worth taking care of purchasing candles in advance. Each time before prayer, you need to light 3 candles - this number has protective properties. To pray, you need to put on modest clothing that will be comfortable for the person. For women, it is advisable to collect their hair and cover it with a scarf.
A candle is placed in front of the icons. It is better to light it from a tree - matches are suitable for this. You should not use a lighter. To prevent anything from distracting you from reading, you can close the doors and windows. If you have some incense at home, you can warm it over a candle; its smell drives away evil spirits, it is destructive to them. At home, it is better to read the full text of the prayer. It must be pronounced accurately, each word must be understood.
The clergy recommend protecting the house from negative influences. To do this, it is necessary to place a container of holy water in front of the faces before reading the sacred words. After completing the reading, you need to sprinkle all the walls and corners with water while reading “Our Father.” This way the house will be reliably protected and no witchcraft will threaten it. You can wash your face in this water for additional protection and let your relatives wash themselves. This way you can avoid repeated energy exposure.
