No one is protected from sudden turns of fate. Anyone can get into the dock sometimes in an unexpected way. In such difficult moments, the Lord does not abandon his children, guiding them on the true path. Get God's answer to the questions: “Why? Why me? How did this happen? Where did you slip up? The great power of Orthodox prayer will help you win your case in court.
In the fate of an Orthodox person, situations arise that require going to court. Division of property, unfair actions of authorities, civil disputes and many other problems force a person to turn to the law. Sometimes the court makes an unfair decision. Therefore, to resolve the litigation in your favor, read a prayer before the court for a successful outcome of the case. Only the Lord knows whether a person is right or wrong, and only the Lord’s judgment is righteous, and God’s punishment leads to repentance. The main thing before turning to God is to clear your conscience and admit mistakes honestly to yourself. Only with good thoughts can you begin to pray in order to win your case in court.
Is it possible to ask for help before court?
The Orthodox fulfill the Lord’s commandment: “Ask, and it will be given to you.” In all their needs and hardships, Christians can turn to the Almighty for help. The judicial process is carried out by people who can make mistakes and make wrong decisions. In this case, a person especially needs the support of Heavenly intercessors. You can ask for help before the court in any case - whether the person is guilty of a crime or is solving property issues, it doesn’t matter.
It is important for the Lord that a Christian sincerely repent of his sins and realize his guilt. It is considered unacceptable to ask for help in concealing guilt, to pray that the crime be hidden. In this case, the Lord can punish for blasphemy.
If a person is guilty, you can pray for a mitigation of the sentence, pointing out to the court the awareness of mistakes and the possibility of correction. The Lord reads in the hearts of people, so he can help with sincere repentance. It is forbidden to bargain with Higher powers, promising correction if you manage to avoid punishment and get away with it.
Prayers help if an Orthodox person has become a victim of injustice:
- slander, slander;
- unauthorized actions of competitors, bailiffs, banks, treacherous friends and relatives;
- deceit and fraud.
The prayers ask that a fair decision be made that acquits the innocent. If guilt is present, they bring repentance to the Lord and ask for mercy and help in mitigating the punishment.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel from legal persecution
By the will of the Lord you were sent to me, my guardian angel, protector and trustee.
Therefore, I appeal to you in difficult times in my prayer, so that you protect me from great trouble.
Those invested with earthly power oppress me, and I have no other defense than the heavenly power, which stands over us all and rules our world.
Holy angel, protect me from oppression and insults from those who have risen above me.
Protect me from their injustice, for for this reason I suffer innocently.
I forgive, as God taught, these people their sins against me, for the Lord has exalted those who were exalted above me and is testing me with this.
All this is the will of God, but from everything that is beyond the will of God, save me, my guardian angel.
I ask you about this in my prayer.
Amen.
Which saints should you contact before a court hearing?
You can turn to the Lord and the saints for help in litigation. The Orthodox Church advises praying to those saints who are closer, have already helped people, and answered requests.
Information: according to prayer tradition, assistance in court can be provided by saints whose earthly lives were spent helping prisoners unjustly convicted.
Before the trial, the following saints are addressed with prayer:
- Mother of God. The Mother of God, who has adopted the human race, prays for all the suffering and unfortunate.
- Nikolai Ugodnik. He is considered the protector of orphans and convicts. He distributed property to the poor, helped those who were slandered, and contributed to the removal of charges.
- Spyridon of Trimifuntsky. He helped a slandered friend, performed many miracles, and lived among ordinary people.
- Saint Anastasia. She tirelessly helped prisoners, alleviated their suffering, and treated them.
- A guardian angel helps a person in all good deeds.
A sincere prayer coming from the heart will be heard, no matter to whom it is addressed.
Strong prayer before the court to Spyridon of Trimifuntsky to win
A prayerful invocation of higher help is effective only when a person experiences sincere repentance for unseemly offenses with the firm intention not to stumble again. Prayer is not a “headache pill” (which helps regardless of the purity of the soul of the person who resorts to it) and not a pagan conspiracy built on the magical sound vibration of phonemes. When planning to prayerfully ask for help, you should know that you cannot do without “spring cleaning” your soul and a total inspection of its nooks and crannies, even in the case of an unfair (from an earthly view) accusation, or if you are the plaintiff.
Having become a victim of crime, an Orthodox Christian can get help in court, wanting justice to be restored. In this case, a prayer intercessor in endeavors can become
Saint Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, helping to win a court case
A simple farmer who later became the bishop of the city of Trimifunt (from which he received his name), Saint Spyridon was truly a miracle worker, bringing God’s providence to life and helping those who were worthy of it. He combined such qualities as kindness and severity, justice and integrity, honesty and selflessness. Expecting justice in a court case, they turn to the prayerful intercession of this particular saint before the Lord. For more than one century, a prayer has been offered before the court to Spyridon of Trimifuntsky in order to win the trial:
First prayer

Sitsa, then, glorify you, His faithful servant, Lord Christ, for you have the gift of understanding all the secret human deeds and convicting those who live unrighteously. You have diligently helped many who live in poverty and lack; you have nourished the poor people abundantly during famine, and you have created many other signs through the power of the living Spirit of God within you. Do not forsake us either, Saint of Christ, remember us, your children, at the Throne of the Almighty and beg the Lord to grant forgiveness of many of our sins, grant us a comfortable and peaceful life, a shameless and peaceful death, and grant us eternal bliss in the future us, may we always send glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Be a sad comforter, a physician to the sick, a helper in times of adversity, a protector of the naked, a protector of widows, a protector of the orphans, a nourisher of infants, a strengthener of the old, a guide to the wandering, a sailing helmsman, and intercede for all those who require your strong help, even useful for salvation! For yes, by your prayers we are instructed and observed, we will reach eternal rest and together with you we will glorify God, glorified in the Trinity of Saints, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

How to Pray Before Trials
Orthodox Christians who find themselves in a legal battle need to understand the degree of their guilt and evaluate the honesty and correctness of their own position. You can only ask the Lord for a fair decision, to receive leniency when making a judicial decision.
After telling the priest about the problems that have arisen, you can ask for blessings and prayerful help. You should go to the temple, light a candle in front of the icon, and say a prayer for a successful outcome.
You can pray at home in front of a consecrated icon, or in any other place where you can concentrate. The main thing when praying is diligence, sincerity, and the expenditure of mental strength. Some rules for prayers for success in court:
- You need to pray several times a day - in the morning, in the evening, when anxiety and uncertainty about a successful outcome begin;
- the prayer should be read several times (3 or more), remembering that the main thing is not the number of thoughtless repetitions of the text, but a deep feeling;
- you can pray during a court hearing, on the road, if you can concentrate;
- if a person feels guilty, he must repent before the Lord, confess to the court, the plaintiff;
- When turning to the Lord for help, one must hope for a successful outcome of the process, but understand that the Almighty knows best what decision will benefit the person.
Repeated reading of prayers strengthens faith and makes a person closer to the Lord. This will help not only in court, but also in life. Regardless of the outcome of the matter, you need to continue to pray, thank the Almighty for your help, and not complain if the decision seems unfair.
Prayer to the Lord God from persecution
I thank You, Lord and my God, for everything that has happened to me!
I thank You for all the sorrows and temptations that You sent me to cleanse those defiled by sins, to heal my soul and body, ulcerated by sins!
Have mercy and save those instruments that You used to heal me: those people who insulted me.
Bless them in this age and in the next!
Credit to them as virtue what they did for me!
Give them abundant rewards from Your eternal treasures.
What did I bring to you?
What acceptable sacrifices
I brought You only sins, only violations of Your Divine commandments.
Forgive me, Lord, forgive the guilty one before You and before people!
Forgive the unrequited!
Grant me to be convinced and sincerely admit that I am a sinner!
Grant me to reject crafty excuses!
Grant me repentance!
Grant me contrition of heart!
Grant me meekness and humility!
Grant love for my neighbors, immaculate love, the same for everyone - both those who console me and those who insult me!
Grant me patience in all my sorrows!
Die me to the world!
Take away my sinful will from me and plant Your holy will in my heart; May I create it alone with my deeds, words, thoughts, and feelings.
Glory is due to you for everything!
To you alone belongs the glory!
My only asset is the shame of my face and the silence of my lips.
Standing before Your Last Judgment in my wretched prayer, I do not find in myself a single good deed, not a single dignity, and I stand only enveloped from everywhere by the countless multitude of my sins, as if by a thick cloud and mist, with only one consolation in my soul: with hope in unlimited mercy and Your goodness.
Amen.
Prayer before the icon of the Mother of God “The Unbreakable Wall”
