It is difficult for a person to be alone for a long time. He is a social creature and from birth he is accustomed to communicating with relatives, like-minded people and different people. There are times when an Orthodox Christian has no one to share his feelings and thoughts with, even when he is surrounded by people all day.
Prayers against loneliness to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Lord himself, and various saints will help you find your soul mate, a friend for the soul. Following simple rules for reading the prayer text and abstaining from alcohol will help get rid of loneliness and find spiritual harmony with a loved one.
Other saints and martyrs
You can choose saints for prayer against loneliness based on their birthday and name. On what day a person was born, that saint is his patron. Most often, the child is named accordingly.
Peter and Fevronia
Peter and Fevronia were born into pagan families. Their paths to the Christian faith were different. The girl met a priest as a child, listened to the Holy Scriptures and quickly decided on her faith. Peter walked long thorny roads until he learned the truth. In difficult times, together, supporting each other, they defended Christianity and proved to the pagans the omnipotence of God.
When you feel doubts in your partner, when there is no complete confidence in love and strong feelings, you should pray to Peter and Fevronia so as not to suffer from loneliness. They will strengthen love, teach mutual support and understanding.
Paraskeva Pyatnitsa
Paraskeva Friday took a vow of spiritual purity and remained a virgin. She helps those praying in front of her icon:
- find a couple and start a family;
- live in peace and harmony;
- to have children.
Saint Paraskeva is prayed to by couples who cannot conceive children and chaste girls before marriage.
Family as a natural form of life
Family life is a Divine institution of the Creator Himself. When God created the first man, he said: “It is not good for man to be alone” (Genesis 2:18). In order not to live alone, but together with his own kind, Adam received a wife and the blessing of having numerous offspring.
It is completely natural for everyone to desire to have a family. Relatives become helpers in material matters and spiritual communication.
“That’s why people strive to love in order to achieve the fullness of life. It is their natural need and desire to live in love. Moreover, the ability to love in some way makes a person like God: “Love is from God, and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God” (1 John 4:7) (Archpriest Yuri Zalosko).
For women and girls
Girls and women, wanting to get rid of loneliness, most often turn to the Mother of God, Matrona of Moscow, Ksenia of St. Petersburg. For a prayer to be heard, a wish to be fulfilled, the appeal must be sincere, with faith in a happy outcome.
You can address the saints in your own words, the main thing is:
- thank the Lord for what the layman already has;
- sincerely repent of sins;
- ask for marriage.
When starting to pray, you need to open your heart to love and be sure that happiness is already close.

Origin of the image
No one knows where this icon came from. According to a pious legend, she was discovered by a peasant from Vologda, who was seriously ill with lameness and partial paralysis. No doctors could cure him. Once in a dream, he was given instructions to climb the bell tower of the local Church of St. John the Evangelist and take an icon from there. Of course, the clergy of the cathedral did not take this revelation seriously and twice refused the old man’s request, knowing full well that there were no icons there. But the peasant was persistent, and in the end he was allowed to climb the belfry to see for himself the meaninglessness of his own words. However, as soon as he reached the top, he recognized an icon in one of the boards, which served as a step on the stairs. The image was immediately taken down, cleaned, and a prayer service was served. Then the first prayer to the Mother of God Seven Shots was said, as a result of which the peasant was completely healed. Since then, miracles began to happen from the icon. And this, in turn, led to the spread of fame about the miraculous image. They began to make lists from it, of which there are now a huge number in several varieties. Unfortunately, the original image disappeared after the repressions of the 1930s and has not yet been found.
To find your soulmate
Our time is amazing. On the one hand, you can communicate with a person at any time who is thousands of kilometers away from you. On the other hand, indifference reigns around. Even in a crowd of people you can remain lonely.

The words can be your own, coming from the soul. The main thing is, when you start praying, do it every morning, with a pure heart. You won't be able to achieve your goal quickly. It is necessary to be patient and not stop praying. God must make sure your intentions are serious.
