How to Pray for Prosperity in Your Personal Life
The saints, being with the Lord, contemplate each person in the Holy Spirit, know his needs, regardless of place and time. Therefore, it is a mistake to think that in order to receive the help of this or that saint of God, it is necessary to come to his grave, to his relics, to the miraculous icon. Of course, you can turn to the saint in any way.
At the same time, a pilgrimage trip can turn out to be very useful: prayerful communication with a saint, participation in divine services, even better - in the sacraments, the very work of a long, not very easy road - all this not only attracts the mercy of God, but often helps to understand God’s will itself about the fate of yourself or a loved one.
What is the most powerful prayer?
The Orthodox do not have the concept of “strong prayer” as some kind of magic spell. However, there really are prayers that preserve the spirit of their compilers. Prayerfully communicating with the God-bearing fathers who composed them, we become familiar with their experience, and with the help of ascetics we learn spiritual life. It is not for nothing that Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh advised, before starting a prayer, to turn in your own words to one or another saint of God who compiled it, asking for help in this endeavor.
The Holy Fathers say: truly “strong” prayer, which is accepted by the Lord, is performed only with humility.
St. Macarius of Optina, when they pointed out to him a monk who prayed a lot and had no spiritual fruit, replied: this is happening:
“from lack of humility. Christ Himself is meek and lowly in heart. With the acquisition of humility, we achieve complete peace of mind.”
Is there a “Prayer for a husband” in the Orthodox prayer book? How to relate to such “prayers” that the Internet offers
But humility means, first of all, agreement with God’s will for one’s life. And this can be a blessing both for creating a family and for loneliness. Submission to God’s determination, according to the experience of many believers, never brings harm to a person, it is always saving, for only the Lord, according to the words of the Evangelist, “He Himself knows what is in a person” (cf. John 2:25), what his purpose, inclinations, life path. Therefore, in Orthodox prayer books there can be neither “prayer for the husband” nor “prayer for the wife.” The very names of such “prayers”, distributed on various Internet pages, show the desire to substitute one’s own will instead of the Lord’s, which is completely inconsistent with Christianity.
About the life of the blessed saint
The beloved and revered Matrona of Moscow lived not so long ago. Even photographs of the saint during her lifetime have been preserved. Proximity in time, great love for every person, a God-fearing life and help to all those in need - these are the main qualities of everyone’s beloved saint.
The future saint (by the family of Matrona Nikonova) was born in 1881 in one of the villages in the Tula province. Her parents were poor peasants who raised four children in total and led pious Christian lives. From the very birth of the little girl, it was clear that this child was special. There is evidence that during the christening of Matrona, a column of bright light suddenly shone above her, as if marking the special purpose of the baby.
Baptism of Matronushka
Despite the fact that the girl was blind from birth, from early childhood she unerringly found icons in the house and could sit with them for a long time. She also had a physical sign of God's chosenness - on her chest there was a special bulge, the shape clearly indicating a cross.
Due to a physical defect, the girl was not loved and often teased by her peers, so she quickly lost interest in playing with them. I spent more and more time in the temple. Already from her early youth, everyone noticed the gift of healing in the child - as soon as she prayed over the sick, even the most severe ailments receded. Rumors about the unusual girl quickly spread throughout the area, and travelers and pilgrims flocked to the poor peasant house.

- Miracles of Mother Matrona
- Saint icon
- Akathist to Matrona of Moscow
Matrona was also distinguished by the gift of foresight - for example, she predicted a fire that practically destroyed the entire village, without touching the girl’s house.
Since 1952, Matrona has lived in Moscow. Having miraculously avoided arrest, she, with God's help, survives the difficult and hungry years. Without even a residence permit, she lives like a poor wanderer, resignedly enduring hardships and oppression.
Is it worth begging for a certain person to be your wife?
Knowing God's will about oneself is a long, complex, painful process. Few modern people can trust God completely, and therefore most often ask for the fulfillment of their own desires, including even those related to a specific person for whom they have feelings. Being merciful about our weakness, especially when a believer, a humble person asks, saints often bow to requests.
At the same time, from the life of Blessed. Matrona knows such a case. Once during Great Lent a girl came to her for a blessing to get married. “Where are you going to fast? I’ll pass you off as good later!” - answered the saint. But the girl, carried away by her feelings, acted of her own free will and even gave birth to a daughter. Soon, however, she became seriously ill with tuberculosis, and the marriage itself did not bring her happiness.
That is why, perhaps, the most reasonable (although not easily given) request would be to turn to the saint with a request to arrange something useful, and not to “marry” her to a certain person.
How to correctly read prayers to Saint Matrona of Moscow
Holy Matronushka is ready to help in any family-related situation.
Prayer texts can be read at any time of the day. However, there are rules that must be followed:
- You cannot read prayer when you are feeling unwell or during illness. This ritual will require a lot of energy, and if you feel unwell, its level decreases significantly. Accordingly, prayer will be ineffective.
- You should observe a week-long fast before reading: do not eat meat, fatty, floury and spicy foods, do not drink alcoholic beverages, drugs, and do not smoke. It is also not recommended to attend entertainment events and establishments.
- You cannot imagine the image of a certain man in your mind. You need to visualize abstractly, but at the same time endow your future husband with the necessary features (details of appearance, character, demeanor, etc.).
- It is advisable to read the prayer text 3 times a day. During the process, you need to be open, fully express your emotions and feelings, speak sincerely and not be disingenuous. You should ask for what your soul requires, and not for what others want from you.
- You need to visit church or temple more often, because... the energy of this place will help you tune in to a certain mood, discard all extraneous and negative thoughts, and get closer to divine power.
- You cannot use prayer for personal gain, to cause harm to someone, etc. They also don’t turn to the Saints if there is no sincere desire to get married, but just want to keep up with others.
- The text of the prayer must be learned by heart. It is not recommended to read it from a prayer book or notebook. Moreover, you should not look at an electronic storage medium (phone, tablet, etc.).
Prayers help those who sincerely believe in them.
If the above rules are observed, the effectiveness of prayer increases significantly.
Can the blessed old woman make someone fall in love?
Requests to God and the saints concerning a person’s spiritual life and his feelings are the most difficult to fulfill.
According to the word of St. John of Damascus:
“if man is created in the Image of the blessed and essential Divinity, and the Divinity is free and has a will by nature, then man, as the Image of the Divinity, is free by nature and has a will.”
That is why a request to influence the will of a person - a manifestation of the Image of God, Divine freedom - is essentially a prayer to commit spiritual violence against him, contrary to God’s Providence for man.
How to get married with divine blessing
Before asking Mother Matrona about marriage, you should understand that even during her lifetime Mother called people to the Christian life. And if you are ready to start a family on such a spiritual basis, then you should definitely pray for marriage. This means that you ask the Lord through Holy Matrona for such a spouse, so that God will bless you, with whom you must be ready to go through all the trials of life.
Important! There are many texts of the prayer for marriage with Saint Matrona, but not only the text of the prayer itself is important, but also what the prayer puts into it, whether he is ready to follow the path that the Lord gives him.
For any girl who wants to build a family, it is necessary to understand that if, through the prayers of the saints, the Lord gives a family, this does not mean that you do not need to make any efforts on your part to create a good atmosphere in her. Family is a great spiritual work. And during her lifetime, the mother warned the girls that Christian marriage was a very serious decision.
On the one hand, God will give such a person with whom you will be spiritually connected, but on the other hand, it is impossible to protect the relationship from worldly problems, this is where the Christian foundations of the family are important: resisting adversity and difficulties together in order to share joy together.
How can a mother ask for her daughter or son's marriage?
Many women dream of organizing the family life of their children and raising their grandchildren, and therefore they worry when their children’s lives turn out differently. Often mothers practically demand that their son or daughter start a family as quickly as possible, “give them grandchildren,” and they are very offended when adult children react sharply to such requests as interference in their lives.
Before asking the saint for help, it is worth honestly answering the question of who needs this help: a long-grown “child”, or the mother herself, who would like to realize herself as a grandmother, mother-in-law, or mother-in-law? Isn’t there also a dependence on the opinions of others who believe that in adulthood it is “high time” to have grandchildren? If so, you should first of all solve your own spiritual or psychological problems. If a son or daughter really suffers, since it is not possible to create a family home, one can and should, without doubt, ask the saint to arrange something useful for a person troubled by sorrows. Seeing love, compassion, the blessed one and the Lord Himself will certainly rush to help.
What to do if a person is lonely and cannot find a partner
A person oppressed by loneliness, who tries time after time to start a family, can be advised, first of all, to find the reasons for this condition. Among them may be:
- unpreparedness for a serious relationship due to the type of activity, internal structure, or other reasons;
Interesting fact
In pre-revolutionary Russia there were many people who rarely created families, as they chose a different field of activity. For example, there were very few families among doctors, teachers, lawyers, and in general those who chose a profession related to serving society. And in the village there were many girls who devoted themselves to caring for elderly relatives and raising younger ones. Finally, in almost every family there were those who wanted to choose the monastic path, which was also considered not only the norm, but also a benefit for the entire family in which the prayer book appeared.
- inflated expectations from the future chosen one with a low level of personal responsibility for the future family; such a person time after time demands increased returns from another, not wanting to sacrifice anything himself;
- often the structure of life is hampered simply by excessive control of older relatives, especially parents, which is inevitable if a young man continues to live with his mother, father, or grandmother as an adult; then the problem can gradually be resolved after the start of independent life.
