You need to start your day by turning to God

Guardian Angel

By turning to his Guardian Angel, a person enlists his support, as well as the luck that the heavenly warrior bestows. The prayer book is read in the morning, immediately after waking up. At the same time, the words are pronounced in a whisper, without being distracted by the outside world and putting all sincerity into them.

“Guardian Angel, I appeal to You, I beg for Your help. Give me luck for this day and protect me from ill-wishers and pests. Guide with your hand the path of happiness so that the day passes without serious problems and bad troubles. I beg you, help me, my heavenly patron, so that this day does not bring disappointment. Amen"

Nikolai Ugodnik

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker is the most powerful, as it helps to cope with difficult life situations. A morning appeal to a saint helps fill the soul with faith and hope. Often the prayer is read before a difficult day at work or school, or to gain support in the fight against illness.

“Oh, His Holiness Nicholas, intercessor and quick helper in any sorrow! Hear my prayers and bring them to the Lord God. Please give me good luck for this day. Spare me, Nikolai, from failures and problems. I will not stand aside and will glorify Your name. Amen"

Matrona of Moscow

Turning to an Orthodox saint helps in many everyday situations. So, reading the morning prayer book to Matrona of Moscow, the believer asks her to grant good luck, improve his financial situation, and strengthen his faith.

“Holy novice of the Lord, Elder Matrona, ask the Lord for us sinners”

After reading the prayer, tell the saint about your fears, share your concerns with her, but do not forget to also tell her about your intended goals.

Author's advice

For luck at work

As a rule, in order to gain support and get good luck for the coming working day, they pray to Jesus Christ. They turn to Him before leaving for work, asking for help in solving business problems or complex issues. Sincere prayer will help you gain confidence, give you inner strength, and also push you to the right decisions.

“Lord Almighty, give me strength of spirit, luck and happiness on my path. I beg you, touch my destiny and reward me with strength. Protect me from problems and difficult trials. My faith will bring me closer to You, Merciful One, I know that Your love has no end. Amen"

On every day

Our life is filled with different events, and when something goes wrong in it, a believer turns to the Lord. The prayer for every day, as a rule, is read during the “dark period”, when there is no clearing ahead. They turn to the Almighty in the morning, standing in front of an icon with a lit candle.

“Almighty, I beg You for success in my affairs. Whatever I do today, whatever I do, give me luck in abundance. Grant me Your blessing on my work and the fruits of my decisions. Teach me wisdom, save me from self-interest. Teach how to live in order to have success in all matters. Amen"

Reading the morning prayer book tunes you to righteousness

Churched people almost always start their day with morning prayers. Even if everything is good in life, they thank the Almighty every morning for this grace. In this case, the sacred texts can be read all together or separately. The first sign that the Lord hears you will be peace in your soul and pleasant warmth.

What do the priests say?

Among the clergy there is their own attitude towards such texts. In their opinion, it is impossible to identify individual words and sentences with absolute benefit. Believers prefer to read collections for good luck or forgiveness, but such a matter cannot be done without an integrated approach - a person’s approach and behavior in everyday life are no less important.

The prayer of the last Optina elders, according to the clergy, is a good start to the day or its end - the moment when the results are summed up or the right plans are made for the coming day.

According to clergy, in the past such prayer books carried great weight. In the history of the text, people found a kind of consolation and reassurance: the last servants of the monastery hid for a long time and suffered persecution. Turning to them, to the words of hard-won prayer, gave hope and allowed us to get through difficult times.

The relevance of the text in the modern world is not so high. Many church parishioners still use prayer in the morning and evening rules, but they put a different meaning into it - in modern society, the issues of attracting some good and improving the quality of their lives are more relevant. Thus, the text for hope and salvation was transformed into a text for desired improvements.

Attitude to prayer

Many church ministers agree that the underlying meaning of a certain tradition is more important than its name. For believers, it is no less important when the morning and evening prayer of the Optina elders penetrates the soul - the right moment describes what it is better for a person to pay attention to. So an ordinary, albeit ancient prayer, brings another healing - it allows you to find the way to yourself.

The prayer of the Optina elders for children or for suffering people is directed inwards. There faith will respond in him, there purification will first occur.

Church officials also help guide believers in their efforts to use a special text. The first versions were presented in handwritten form, and were passed down from generation to generation - that’s why there are so many options, and that’s why modern versions are especially suitable for reading for health, or, for example, for good luck.

The positive influence of special words will be fully revealed only if you set the right goal - church ministers are trying to convey a similar idea to their parishioners. Not a single prayer helps solve a problem without a person’s inner motivation.

An important point is how much the readers penetrate into the meaning of the spoken words. Priests do not advise reading them only as part of a routine task - there will be little benefit from such a home ritual. Inspiration combined with a sincere desire to experience a piece of divine grace is the best option. He gives both wisdom and important experience. You cannot start reading a prayer with a different attitude.

What is the prayer of the Optina elders

Among believers, the morning prayer of the Optina Elders is one of the most popular. Even people who are far from conscious faith know a similar collection of prayer words. It is included in many prayer books because of its versatility and simplicity.

One of the elders is recognized as the author of the texts. At one time it belonged to the Vvedensky stauropegial monastery; now the monastery does not exist. According to legend, individual parts of the prayer belonged to different people - the result was a collective work, a text that penetrates the soul of every sincere believer. The main part of the text was written by the Monk Ambrose.

The main part of the text has changed over the years - according to legend, it was supplemented by other servants of the monastery. With the changing times, both the essence of the text and its purpose changed - so naturally the prayer grew, literally “lived.”

The prayer of the Optina elders at the beginning of the day, like the prayer at night, consists of many details. Each of them contains a certain idea, a part of the life of the elders. The unique nature of the text also changes noticeably: its reading and comprehension does not occur immediately, but if you analyze the narrative, it becomes immediately noticeable that there were several authors.

According to another legend, also worthy of attention, the prayer had only several authors living at the same time. They were the last residents of the monastery until its closure in 1923. Who are the co-authors of the sacred text, according to the second legend:

Reverend Joseph;
Rev. Barsanuphius;
Rev. Anatoly;
Venerable Nektarios.

Evening prayers were created together, collected into a single structure. The exact number of authors is difficult to count: according to legend, the cause was united by several ministers, but none of them sought worldly fame or recognition - for this reason, the exact list of authors is lost.

Morning prayer, as well as its authorship, is a conventional concept for Orthodoxy. Individual prayers, as well as their combination, are a guide, a kind of tool. Their meaning lies in the words, not in their origin. The response of the soul of a believer in such a case comes to the fore.

According to tradition, elders never gather to write one text. Even the name prayer of the Optina elders was given by the parishioners, and not by its creators - so another meaning was inserted into the special text: the life of the elders is a prototype of the renunciation of a certain part of human existence, it is associated with the correct limitation and purification of the soul. Reading such words, a believer takes upon himself, albeit subconsciously, a certain responsibility - he himself outlines its influence on the soul, mind, spirit.

In what cases does the Optina Elders help?

Churchmen say that the prayer of the Optina elders at night or in the morning is part of the conscious path. It is used regularly and in a certain sequence. The variety of prayer texts indicates the main tasks that are solved as prayer itself unfolds in the human soul.

What is the text for?

for the right start to the day;
to start a new business;
to help the family;
for protection from enemies;
for protection from abuse;
for protection from thoughts;
in grief;
to protect children.

Separate prayers are used for special occasions. For example, the prayer of St. Leo of Optina for the unbaptized, those who died without repentance and suicides. The main purpose of turning to God is a request for the soul of the deceased, as well as a request for one’s own peace of mind.

Good morning

When you wake up at dawn, See a ray on the wall, Promise that you will smile And just remember me.

Good morning, dear, beloved! I miss you so much, irresistible. I send you a gentle kiss and ask you to hug me. Good morning, I love you.

The morning will come, and the rose will instantly bloom its petals. May your tender eyes not know what tears are. Let everything be as you want. Let your expectations not be deceived. And all your beautiful dreams will become your reality!

A ray of sunshine creeps towards the bed. The sound of an SMS will disturb the peace, At this moment your sleep will end, Good morning my kitten!

The sleepy birch trees smiled, their silk braids disheveled. Green earrings rustle, And silver dews burn. Near the fence, overgrown nettles are dressed in bright mother-of-pearl, And, swaying, whisper playfully: Good morning!

“Good morning!” I’ll tell you, Or maybe I’ll whisper in your ear That it’s time to get up slowly and start the day cheerfully.

I wish you good morning! Good morning will come, I know. Look for the positive every morning, Spend the day with a cheerful motive!

Good morning! Have a bright day! Let the birds chirp wake you up! A ray of sunshine will slide across the pillow. The awakened cat meows loudly. May your breakfast and tea be delicious, and may your soul be filled with youth and May forever! The radio plays your favorite tune. The news gives only positive things. So that you never again remember the meaning of the word “trouble”, So that grief and evil do not touch you, So that illness is out of the question, So that Joy, smile, fun and laughter become your friends forever, So that health and love are always inseparable With you , kindness!

A ray of sunshine on the glass, a titmouse's shadow on the wall. Now you will open your eyes and realize that life is beautiful! Good morning, my baby!

Let the day begin with kindness, Let there be more warmth, Let the day be filled with activities, New friends arrive, And it is important to remain calm, Because tomorrow will be another day.

Good good morning flower Stop yawning, smile little angel Get up, stretch, drive away sleep and laziness And let Today be joyful

Good morning my joy :-* I kiss your lips lovingly, I would hug you tightly, pick you up in my arms and wouldn’t let you go anywhere.

A sweet dream changes colors, You float and everything is like in a fairy tale. A warm summer breeze licked the sea sand, The horizon pierced the dawn, chasing away the moonlight. That's it, it's time to get up, open your eyes, the sun will shine in the window. You will wake up in silence, a ray will sparkle gently, run down your back, tickle your heels, get up quickly from the crib. Good morning Angel)

I'm afraid to disturb you, You're sleeping so beautifully, I'll whisper in your ear Wake up, get up baby: -* But in life it happens, That I'm not around, The sun will give you a gentle sunrise, Only for you, the dawn, And this is not by chance, Because I've known for a long time, Can't live without you. It’s all just because, just like me, I fell in love, And my heart is all yours.

Good morning dear! Wishing you happiness and joy! I want to hug you, caress you, kiss you! And then quietly say in my ear You are a princess. You are mine. I can't live without you!

Good morning my love! Modest, very vulnerable. It’s not completely clear to everyone. Immense soul and heart. Sunshine, you are not visual. Fresh, tasty, minty. Meek, gentle, sweet. Beautiful in feel and body. Good morning dear! Light, clear, strange. The girl is smart, wonderful. The girl is a miracle naive. Adult, weak, strong. Strict, soft, stylish. Hot, sensually passionate. Pure, soul-beautiful. Good morning my love! Bright, unique. Soaring above the bustle. Fabulously unreal. The wound of the naked soul. Seen through bottomless eyes. Kind, passionately sad. I met it by accident.

Every morning a ray of sunshine breaks through thousands of clouds in the sky. To warm your tender body, To look at your sweet lips, into your eyes. Why am I not the sun, To caress your chest, To hug your shoulders, To illuminate your path. And every morning to meet you again, to give you what is called LOVE.

Good morning! get up, wake up, brush your teeth, get dressed quickly. Take the phone, dial my number, so that I don’t die here without you.

“Good morning!” I’ll tell you, Or maybe I’ll whisper in your ear That it’s time to slowly get up And start a new day cheerfully.

Wake up, beauty, wake up And reach out sweetly to the sun, Plunge into its rays And smile tenderly and tenderly!

Hello, my joy of the coming days, My sunshine in the flowering fields, Torrential rain in the burning desert And one of a thousand happy occasions!

I wish you good morning, I call you affectionately, I kiss you sweetly and hug you!

Dawn came, morning came, Rays sparkled across the sky. You woke up.. The whole world seemed to have become better, cleaner and more wonderful.

The correct approach to the prayer of the Optina elders

For any prayer speech, any appeal to God or the saints, some preparation will not hurt. This way, spiritual experience will become useful for the soul, allowing it to reach another level over time.

How to best prepare for reading:

Find a suitable location. The place is not so important as how a person feels it. If he feels safe, comfortable and calm, then the prayer words will respond faster in his soul.
To find time. The time for the morning rule is especially important, when at the end the prayer of the Optina elders is read. Haste is not the best helper - the less time, the lower the concentration. It is better to stick to the rule that your morning ritual is your chosen path. The extent to which a person respects prayer, the extent to which he respects himself.
Find the right motivation. Reading a prayer is a conversation with God. People don’t come to him only when it’s bad or difficult. God's help is possible only with the constant manifestation of love for him: the more often prayer comes from a kind and calm heart, the easier it will be to overcome problems in the future.

The prayer of the Optina elders at the end of the day serves as correct calm and a way to find humility; in the morning it serves as a charge of energy and faith. Choosing the right tool will be choosing the right path. If a person does not know what drives him, where his motivations come from, prayer does not provide all the answers.

Wrong approach to the prayer of the Optina elders

The complete prayer of the Optina elders is not a panacea for all illnesses and troubles. The history of special texts shows that they were created out of human suffering and faith, and in the same vein they work.

If you expect a miracle from prayer, but do nothing yourself or repeat words without comprehension, then the words will remain just words. Disrespect for the process, violation of the order of reading, turning to God only when bad - such a path is not correct, and it does not allow the word to be revealed.

It is important that the first and last moment of a person’s day be filled with faith and the desire to continue one’s Christian self-improvement. If there is no desire, if faith does not live in a person’s heart, prayer remains only an incomprehensible text.

The wrong approach to prayer is lack of motivation, distrust of higher powers or even defiance of them. If a person is not ready to work on himself, he is far from understanding the wisdom of the elders.

Some facts about the prayer of the Optina elders

There is a lot of debate among historians about why the prayer of the Optina elders is so valuable. There have been many difficult, dark moments in the history of the church - the path traveled has never been easy. The Optina elders also suffered a lot: their suffering miraculously transformed certain words into weapons against many troubles. Prayer not only gives hope, it is also recited for good luck.

Once, answering a question about prayer, Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov said that you can read it at least 24 hours a day - and such a day will become the best discovery for a person, for his soul. The prayer of the Optina elders for good luck, in his opinion, gives a certain inner freedom.

Many priests strongly recommend including prayer words into your day at least twice - this way a person will become closer not only to God, but also to himself. Luck, as the main goal of reading the text, is interpreted more in the meaning of the ability to discover inexhaustible sources of both energy and boundless love.

Today, all 14 elders of the monastery, where the prayer was created, are revered as saints. Their journey has come to an end, but their words continue to live - on the lips of the same imperfect people as they were. The spiritual path, supported by prayerful words, allows you to complete your mission - to achieve Christian perfection.

In prayer, turning to God is aimed at parts of life where a person loses faith. It is customary to greet not only the dawn, but also the sunset with prayer; during the day, the words are read out for the benefit of the family and children; if negative events occur in a person’s environment, enemies appear and abuse is directed in his direction.
