George grew up in a religious Christian family during the reign of Diocletian. During his service he established himself as a strong and brave warrior. Thanks to this, he was admitted into the emperor’s inner circle as an employee. When Diocletian announced the persecution and destruction of Orthodox citizens, George came to their defense and declared his complicity in the religion. For such actions he was executed as a martyr. But George accepts the execution with dignity and does not renounce his own words and beliefs. For this, he was included in the ranks of the Holy Great Martyrs, and was given the power to provide assistance to ordinary mortals in various needs.
Which saints patronize athletes?
In sports, only victory is considered the result. Athletes know that this depends not only on their level of training, but also on the circumstances. Therefore, the overwhelming number of athletes believe in God or are superstitious. Modern Orthodoxy encourages people to ask their Heavenly patrons for victory in sports.
Athletes do not hide their relationship with God when they cross themselves before a fight, jump, race or start. The famous hockey goalie Vladislav Tretyak admitted that in the last years of his career he regularly prayed in church before competitions, asking God for help.
High-class athletes experience enormous stress, not only physical, but also psychological, before important performances. Prayer in church helps them calm down, focus on their tasks and believe in themselves.
Before important competitions, teams visit temples to pray for success.
Prayers help you win competitions:
- Lord;
- St. George the Victorious;
- Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- Archangel Michael.
St. George was a brave warrior during his lifetime and was noted for his military successes by Emperor Diocletian. George grew up in a Christian family and did not renounce his faith when the persecution of Christians began. She was tortured and executed for her religious beliefs.
Believers turn to Saint George the Victorious to help them win the competition.
The Lord reacts sensitively to the prayers of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. During his lifetime, the saint became famous for his mercy and love for his neighbors. Prayer at the holy image gives strength and confidence. Archangel Michael leads the heavenly host to confront the forces of evil. He is also the one who is called upon to control his emotions during a sporting match.

Universal maternal prayers are prayers with which mothers ask the Lord and His saints for the life well-being of their children.

There are a lot of similar prayer texts; if you wish, you can find them in the Orthodox Prayer Book. I will give 2 examples of common prayer.

Mother's prayer for her daughter's health

A mother’s prayer addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos will help alleviate the condition of a sick child.
The mother’s appeals directed to the Virgin Mary are very powerful, since it is the Mother of God, herself a Mother, who understands the feelings and aspirations of the mother better than anyone else and willingly responds to requests for help.

Bearing and giving birth to a child is a responsible task assigned by nature to a woman.

How to pray for your daughter?
A daughter is a continuation of her mother, a fragile and tender creature who most needs maternal love and care. The mother acts as a reliable support for her daughter throughout her life: she advises her on everyday issues and passes on her life experience to her. An additional task of an Orthodox mother is to serve as a spiritual mentor to her daughter, to take care of her spiritual well-being. And prayer for your daughter helps you realize this goal.
A true mother will express her love for her daughter with a tender heart and kind words, and not with all kinds of prohibitions and reproaches. A true mother understands her child like no one else and helps her reveal her entire feminine essence.
A prayer for a daughter should be read with all the love that fills a mother’s heart. When reciting the sacred text, the mother should keep the image of her beloved girl in her head. You need to pray in the light of lit church candles and in front of the corresponding icons. The thoughts of a praying mother must remain clear and pure even outside of prayer. Also, a woman must definitely go to church and provide all possible help to those in need.
It is recommended to teach your daughter mother’s prayers from her childhood. These spiritual lessons will prepare her to fulfill her main life purpose - motherhood.
Lord, help my daughter Ksenia grow up healthy and happy, successfully complete her studies, find a good job, and become a beloved and loving mother and wife! Protect her on her life's journey! Amen! Lord, help my daughter Ksenia grow up healthy and happy, successfully complete her studies, find a good job, become a beloved and loving mother and wife! Protect her on her life's journey! Amen!

It's no secret that an athlete's life largely depends on the results of the competitions in which he participates. However, no matter how hard a person trains, no matter how much he wants to win, results in sports often depend on chance and fortune. Many people know that athletes are quite superstitious and perform some simple rituals to attract good luck, for example, someone does not wash the uniform in which he first received a medal, and someone cannot do without their favorite toy in their sports bag. Also, many have seen that before participating in a competition or competition, many go to temples and pray. One of the most powerful prayers for victory in competitions is the prayer to the Holy Great Martyr George the Victorious.
Texts of strong Orthodox prayers for victory in competitions
Prayers for victory in sports can be read both for athletes and for their loved ones.

Archangel Michael
Prayer to Archangel Michael for victory over ill-wishers
Archangel Michael is revered not only by Christians, but also by Jews and Muslims. Bears the title “Archangel” - the head of the army of the Lord, consisting of heavenly angels, the senior messenger of the Almighty, the guardian of the Jewish people, the defender of Israel.
Archangel Michael is depicted in icons trampling the Devil, who mostly appears in the form of a dragon or serpent. According to Christian beliefs, the messenger of God is a fighter against evil in all its manifestations. Therefore, daily prayers are addressed to him for the granting of protection and victory over ill-wishers. These don't necessarily have to be major achievements. This may be a small triumph over envious people who wish evil.
Such grace and protection from the Archangel Michael will be granted only to those who do not carry evil within themselves and are pure in heart and thoughts. The desired victory should not cause trouble to anyone.
Prayer for the victory of the son addressed to Archangel Michael:
Prayer is an appeal to God, but reading it alone does not guarantee success in business. The words are spoken with a feeling of deep faith in the help of the Almighty. But you need to tirelessly remind your daughter about patience, humility, perseverance in achieving goals and righteous work on the path to victory. Without this, success in any business is impossible. Another component is self-confidence and belief in victory.
How to pray correctly
It is best to pray for athletic achievements in places of prayer: churches and monasteries. At major competitions outside of Russia, such an opportunity is rarely provided. In such cases, prayers are read in front of holy images in a specially prepared place.
For prayer to be heard, the believer must remember three basic conditions:
- sincere faith in God and the power of prayer;
- sadness about sins (internally or in confession to a priest);
- absence of evil thoughts towards rivals.
A candle is lit in front of the icon, and while it is burning, a prayer is said. We pray for victory whenever we can be alone and focus on the content of the sacred text. After a good performance, you should thank the Lord or a holy person for your help.
Speak the amulet
Wearing jewelry and amulets has long been practiced among our ancestors - at their very beginning they acted precisely as protective amulets and only later took on the role of jewelry. But even today, many athletes use certain little things as amulets - a rabbit’s foot or a particularly lucky T-shirt, and so on.
Any thing can act as an amulet - it is first charmed to attract good luck and success in competitions. Just go outside and hold the thing in your hands, exposing it to the rays of the night light, say the following words:
The amulet is ready - the main thing in the future is not to forget to carry it with you, periodically carrying out lunar feeding and recharging in its energy. Such an amulet will help not only in competitions and contests - you can carry it with you constantly, even in the most difficult situation, feeling its help and support on an energetic level.
Victory spell for salt
For the ritual, ordinary and pre-charmed Thursday salt are taken. Pour the product into a cast iron frying pan at midnight. Put it on fire, heat it up and say three times: Remove the pan from the stove, let the salt cool, the next morning pour a small amount into a small bag made of natural fabric. Carry it with you at all times.
We advise you to study the Day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God: pictures, postcards
Three months from the date of the ritual, witchcraft will stop working. Pour the used salt outside and start a new portion.
These simple rituals help you achieve the desired heights and win in your favorite sport. But remember: you will get the desired result when you believe in yourself, your strengths and are truly focused on winning.
The story of the death of St. George the Victorious
Enduring terrible torture day after day, the warrior did not even think of betraying his faith. One night in a dream he saw Christ Himself, who said that a place in heaven had been prepared for him. For the last time, Diocletian decided to try to persuade George to betray the Christian God. He ordered him to be taken to the most important pagan temple (he could no longer walk). The delighted emperor fulfilled his request. But in a pagan temple, the former commander of the Roman army mercilessly crushed all the idols with only the power of prayer, which protected him from invisible enemies.
The enraged emperor, incited by the priests, ordered the head of St. George the Victorious to be cut off. He calmly laid her on the chopping block, feeling not fear and despair, but joy from the imminent meeting with His God and the saints.
Petition for daughter's victory and success
There is no specific prayer for a daughter’s victory in competitions. This is due to the fact that in the Orthodox tradition, women are not warriors, but keepers of the home.
Therefore, there are prayers for them:
- about the gift of humility;
- about a happy marriage;
- about conception;
- about the successful release of her daughter from pregnancy;
- about family well-being;
- on eliminating discord between spouses;
- about admonishing a lost daughter;
- about cleansing;
- about a faithful and caring husband for his daughter;
- on the protection of the child and his descendants.
And yet, for your daughter to successfully pass exams, win competitions and good luck in all endeavors, you need to offer a prayer to the Almighty:
Fulfill the request of your insignificant servant (name of the one praying)!
May my greatest beloved child be in Thy mercy,
Protect her from dark forces, grief and evil, grant goodness to all her deeds!
With deep faith in Your power, I cry for help!
Have mercy, may Your will be favorable to (daughter’s name). Amen".
In this prayer, the mother asks for protection and protection from the dark machinations of her daughter’s enemies: “protect her from the forces of darkness, grief and evil, and for success”; and also about blessed help in the affairs of the child: “grant goodness to all her affairs.”
