Why do you need to read prayers before leaving home?
Home is our fortress, protecting not only from weather conditions, but also from the machinations of the evil one, the negative energy of ill-wishers and envious people. A prayer read before leaving your house/apartment will be a reliable “umbrella” from external negative influences and will give you confidence in your abilities.

Prayer of Saint John Chrysostom
One of the most revered and famous protective prayers is the prayer: “I deny you, Satan, your pride,” written by the theologian John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople. Saint John became famous for his good deeds, comforting the suffering and instructing them on the right path.
During his life, he wrote many theological writings that we still use today. Despite the fact that he was persecuted by the enemies of the Christian faith, Saint John did not renounce his labors, for which he was exiled to the city of Pithiunt. Exhausted by illness, John did not survive the journey, but before his death he managed to receive the Holy Communion, after which he was buried in Comana.

There are many sacred texts that can protect a person during his wanderings. But this one is considered the most powerful: “Mother of God, my Lady, I pray you, drive away from me, a humble servant, oblivion, negligence, despondency and foolishness. Protect Your accursed servant from filth, hooliganism and the evil one. Cleanse my thoughts, my heart and my mind from unworthy thoughts that discredit Your name. Deliver me from bad beginnings and evil deeds that reproach Your glory. For blessed are You and Your family, and glorified is Your name forever and ever. Amen".

Do not allow the evil demon to possess me, neither my body nor my soul. Give me strength to complete all my work, strengthening my thin and distressed hand. Holy Angel of the Lord, guardian of my body and soul, forgive all my sins, as I committed them in my stupidity. Cover me with grace this day, so that I can resist all temptations and bad thoughts. For You are always with me, until the Great Judgment is completed. Amen".

Why pray?
Cars, man-made factors, weather conditions are only part of the influences that can cause you damage. In addition, you should remember not only about the safety of the body, but also about the safety of your true nature.
Considering these factors, it becomes clear how important it is to pray before leaving home. Good prayer can not only strengthen your faith, but also give you protection and make you a healthier and more reasonable person who is able to see the world based on the highest values and deep understanding.
Of course, the answer to this question depends on your religion. Depending on the religion you follow, you should choose the subject of prayer . Next, we will look at prayer practices before leaving home, based on the Christian Orthodox tradition.
For people who live in Russia, they can be considered universal . The Orthodox egregor has developed on this land over the centuries; most saints and ascetics adhered to Orthodoxy. Therefore, if you live here, then you can seek help in prayers in this direction and with a high probability you will receive a positive result.
The duty of every Christian
A prayer read before leaving home can save you from many troubles and disappointments. But we should remember that without faith, even sacred texts lose their power. Without it, they are just a set of words that are in no way capable of influencing a person’s fate.
Therefore, any Christian, first of all, must rely on his own sense of faith. That is, talk to the Lord not only when you need His help or instructions, but also just like that. After all, he is our Heavenly Father. And like any parent, He loves when His children treat Him with honor and respect. And the prayer read when leaving the house is just one way to show Him your devotion.
