Christmas Eve…
Before the Christmas holidays, it has long been customary to fast for forty days, which ended on January 6, during the service called Vespers.

For well-being and protection from want
Lord Jesus Christ our God, who deigned for our salvation to appear on earth in the flesh and be indescribably born of the Unknown and Most Pure Virgin Mary! We thank Thee, for Thou hast vouchsafed us, having purified ourselves through the feat of fasting, to achieve the great feast of Thy Nativity and in spiritual joy to sing praises to Thee with the angels, to praise Thee with the shepherds, and to worship Thee with the wise men. We thank You, for through Your great mercy and immeasurable condescension towards our weaknesses, You now console us not only with abundant spiritual food, but also with a festive meal.
To attract happiness and good luck
Heavenly Father, our savior. Hear your servant (your name). I pray to You, Lord, strengthen my faith and illuminate my path in life. Teach me to follow You and do Your will. Help me find peace in my soul. I ask for myself and people on earth: may Your goodness come upon us. Happiness and peace will be in our lives. Let our souls be filled with your prayers. Amen.
Ask for what you want
At midnight or 3 am you should go outside and pray. Or ask for what you want in your own words. It is believed that the prayer will certainly be heard by Heaven, because at Christmas angels descend to earth.
When to go out onto the street or balcony to ask the Lord for help in fulfilling your desire? Some advise doing this at midnight, others at 3 am. It's best to leave at 3 am. Psychic Natalya Razumovskaya (participant in the “Battle of Psychics”) advises following some rules.
First, think carefully about your desire and formulate it as precisely as possible. It is important that the Universe understands you correctly. Secondly, your desire must be truly strong. And most importantly, do not forget that nothing falls from the sky just like that, you are sent opportunities that you can use to change your life.
Raise your hands to the sky, palms up, and say your wish loudly and clearly. In some ways this ritual resembles a pagan one, but it has been practiced for many centuries.
Remember that your desire will be fulfilled only if your prayer coincides with the will of God. Therefore, psychics advise not to ask Heaven for money or material things such as a new phone or coffee maker. If you need to improve your financial situation, ask for a more lucrative job or additional income opportunities.
Besides this, you also need to give something to the Universe in return - fast for forty days before Christmas or give alms. Promise yourself that you will give up something in your life - stop quarreling with your family, smoking or wishing harm on others.
In addition, you can go outside and simply read a prayer on Christmas night. What are the best prayers to read? In essence, which text to read is not so important. The main thing is from the heart. This will fill you with inner harmony and give you God's blessing.
