Prayers for the increase of love and the eradication of hatred and all malice

Holy Apostle and Evangelist John the Theologian

O great apostle, loud-voiced evangelist, most graceful theologian, master of secrets of incomprehensible revelations, virgin and beloved confidant of Christ John, accept with your characteristic mercy us sinners (names), who come running under your strong intercession and protection! Ask the All-Bountiful Lover of Mankind, Christ and our God, Who, before your eyes, poured out His most precious blood for us, His indecent servants, may He not remember our iniquities, but may He have mercy on us, and may He deal with us according to His mercy; May He grant us mental and physical health, all prosperity and abundance, teaching us to turn all of it into the glory of Him, the Creator, Savior and our God. At the end of our temporary life, may we, holy apostle, escape the merciless tortures that await us in the airy ordeals, but may we, under your guidance and protection, reach the Mountain of Jerusalem, whose glory you have seen in revelation, and now enjoy these joys promised to the chosen ones God's. Oh, great John, save all Christian cities and countries, this whole, this temple, dedicated to your holy name, serving and praying in it, from famine, destruction, cowardice and flood, fire, sword, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare, deliver from all kinds of troubles and misfortunes, and with your prayers turn away the righteous wrath of God from us, and ask us for His mercy; Oh, great and incomprehensible God, Alpha and Omega, the source and object of our faith! Behold, for Your supplication we offer Saint John, whom You have made worthy to know You, the inscrutable God, in ineffable revelation. Accept his intercession for us, grant us the fulfillment of our petitions, for Your glory: and above all, make us spiritual perfection, to the enjoyment of endless life in Your Heavenly abodes. Oh, Heavenly Father, created all the Lord, the Soul of spirits, the Almighty King! Touch our hearts with Your finger, and they, melting like wax, will be shed before You, and mortal spiritual creation will be created, in honor and glory of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Praying for an enemy works in the same way. The one for whom he asked God or the saints suddenly reconsiders his actions, and impulses towards sin cause feelings of fear in him. The influence of divine forces on him makes the sinner better, changes him. This is the effect of prayer in eradicating hatred directed towards God on behalf of the enemy. The necessary texts for these purposes can be selected in the prayer book.

How to better read sacred words

The most correct thing would be to read a prayer in God's temple. And this advice has good reason. After all, thousands of people with their troubles go to church, and this has been going on for several centuries. Those places have amazing power, they have been prayed for by more than one generation, and are clean from sinful actions. Reading should be done with a pure heart and bright thoughts. It is always necessary to be baptized with reference to the name of God. It’s good if the person asking bows while doing so. You need to get ready ahead of time and tune in to the sacrament.

When praying to a specific icon of a saint, you must approach it in the church with a candle. Face to face with the image, words addressed to it are spoken. If the church does not have the required icon, you need to pray to the Mother of God or the Savior. Making petitions at home is also not prohibited. The main thing is that there is a face and candles from the temple.

Venerable Seraphim of Sarov

Oh, wonderful Father Seraphim, great miracle worker of Sarov, quick and obedient helper to all who come running to you! During the days of your earthly life, no one was tired of you and was inconsolable from your departure, but everyone was blessed by the vision of your face and the benevolent voice of your words. Moreover, the gift of healing, the gift of insight, the gift of healing for weak souls has appeared abundantly in you. When God called you from earthly labors to heavenly rest, your love ceased from us, and it is impossible to count your miracles, multiplying like the stars of heaven; Behold, throughout all the ends of our earth you appear to the people of God and grant them healing. In the same way, we cry out to you: oh, most quiet and meek servant of God, daring prayer book to Him, reject no one who calls you! Offer up your powerful prayer for us to the Lord of hosts, may He grant us all that is useful in this life and all that is useful for spiritual salvation, may He protect us from the falls of sin and may He teach us true repentance, so that we can enter without stumbling into the eternal Kingdom of Heaven, where you now in everlasting glory you shine, and there sing with all the saints the Life-Giving Trinity forever and ever. Amen.

What kind of prayers for increased love

Love is a spiritual and comprehensive concept. It must be cultivated in your heart and in your soul. Only when it has awakened in a person can he give this feeling to the whole world - children, parents, loved ones, everyone who meets along the way, animals, nature, the whole Earth.

Divine love is unconditional, that is, it does not care not only what the object of love looks like, whether he is poor or rich, but also how he behaves. The divine fire does not go out even when those whom a person loves begin to offend.

People read prayers for increased love in order to:

express your love for God, saints, angels;
melt the ice in the heart and fill it with the joy of existence;
send your love to loved ones to protect them from troubles;
protect your home from any evil;
pacify anger, anger, envy;
return peace and harmony to the family;
learn to forgive and accept all people as they are.

How to read correctly to get help

Prayers sow the seeds of love in the soul and heart. The rules for reading them are simple, the main thing is not to make a routine out of it.

You can go to church at any convenient time, stand at the icons of saints, light a candle, and read a prayer. Feel the presence of God. The main thing is to do everything without rushing.
If you learn prayers by heart, you can read them absolutely everywhere - in nature, in transport, on the street. The whole world will sparkle with new colors, and life will never be gray.
At home, in a quiet, clean, calm corner, it would be nice to light a candle and pray in front of the icons. Any prayer cleanses the living space of our home and fills the house with happiness.
Prayer calls must be read confidentially and openly. The saints see our feelings and understand us when we strive to communicate with them with all our souls.

Every person has a good, bright, humane beginning. By turning to prayers, we begin to see these qualities in people, and we realize how beautiful the world is, filled with love.
