A strong prayer to the Lord before the trial
In the hand of Your great mercy, O my God, I entrust my soul and body, my feelings and words, my advice and thoughts, my deeds and all my souls and bodies of use, entrance and my descent, my faith and my life, the course and end of my life mine, the day and hour of my dying, my repose and repose, and the resurrection of my soul and body. But You, most kind and loving God, accept Your protection in the hand and deliver me from all evil, forgive the multitude of my sins, cleanse my defiled soul and body and keep me in the blood of Thy mercy all the days of my life, that by Thy grace I may be delivered from the enemy’s nets that catch me, and by Your goodness I was brought to my senses and guided on the path of true repentance, I will be granted the Christian death to my life - passionless, shameless, my fearful, and undisturbed by the airy spirits of the passage, and a good answer at Your Last Judgment, and may I be worthy seeing Your ineffable glory and hearing Your sweet, blessed voice, and from You, my God, may I receive life and salvation. Amen.
You need to start praying as soon as the conflict begins to flare up. If the matter comes to a hearing, you can read a prayer during the trial. You can pray in your own words or read prayers from a prayer book. The main thing is that the prayer must be sincere, repeated many times, sounding in unison with the soul of the person asking. It will help you get into the right frame of mind, calm your nerves, give you strength, make the judge fair and attentive, and make the decision legal.
Injustice will be restored if the person praying puts aside pride and vanity, looks around and asks himself the question: why did this happen in life?

Anastasia was a very capable student and everyone noted her high intellectual development. But, unfortunately, Anastasia’s mother did not live long and died. Then her father, without the girl’s permission, decides to marry her to a convinced pagan. But she took a vow of virginity and, in order not to break it, she told her husband about some non-existent illness.
Meanwhile, she dressed as a beggar and went around prisons and helped prisoners. She fed them, guided them on the right path, gave them spiritual strength to stay in prison, bandaged their wounds, and so on. At that time, a very large part of the people were in prison, and Anastasia tried to help everyone, completely devoting herself to this cause.
But she was unable to hide from her own husband for long; when he found out, he severely beat her and locked her in a room, placing two guards on her so that she could not leave it. Anastasia did not have to be locked up for long; after a while her husband died and she, having sold almost all her valuables, began to help all those convicted with even greater force.
Since at that time they were imprisoned for various acts, her mentor was also convicted. She came to him, and he already gave her spiritual strength so that she would continue to help everyone in need. During her travels, Anastasia the Patternmaker found herself a faithful friend who helped people with her. But after some time she was executed along with her children.
For these acts in ancient times, Christians were despised and killed, the same fate happened to Anastasia, she was burned at the stake. Thus ended the martyrdom of Anastasia the Pattern Maker.
Life is holy
The martyr lived in the fourth century AD. These were times of persecution of Christians. There was a struggle between the pagans and the followers of the teachings of Christ. In the same era lived Saint George the Victorious, who died a martyr’s death at the hands of Emperor Diocletian.
In one family, a girl was born who was named Anastasia. Her father was a supporter of paganism, and her mother was a Christian. The girl was raised under the influence of her mother. Having believed in Christ, she strictly followed his teachings. But when her mother died, the girl was left without protection, and her father forcibly married her to a rich gentleman, who was also on the side of the pagan faith.
Being married, Anastasia the Pattern Maker was able to maintain her virginity, leaving her husband under the pretext of an incurable illness. Having the means and opportunity, the girl dressed as a beggar and, bribing the guards, visited prisons where Christians died.
She brought them food, water and medicine, dressed their wounds and consoled them. This is how the young girl made many friends. But one day her husband found out about her adventures, beat his young wife and locked her in the room. For a long time he came to her and brutally beat her. But soon he was sent on a diplomatic mission to another country. During the journey, his ship crashed and all passengers died.
Freed from the bonds of marriage, Anastasia the Patternmaker continued to help Christians. News of the benefactress reached Emperor Diocletian, who, given the young woman’s secular status, gave her a choice between paganism and Christianity. But Anastasia the Patternmaker remained faithful to the Lord and accepted martyrdom for her faith at the stake.

Here is the text of this prayer:
“Oh, great wonderworker and servant of Christ, Saint Father Nicholas! You, the quick helper and gracious intercessor of all who call upon you, especially those in mortal troubles. You showed such miracles of mercy in the days of your life. When, after your death, you appeared before the Throne of God, no one can count your mercies, even if you had many languages. You keep those floating on the waters; You saved many drowning people.
You keep them on the road, which were caught by the winds, great snow, fierce frost, and heavy rain. You protect houses and estates from being set on fire by evil-minded people and from ultimate burning. You protect creatures on the way from the attacks of evildoers.
You help the poor and wretched, deliver them from extreme despondency and fall from grace, for the sake of poverty. You stand up for the innocent from slander and unjust condemnation. You saved from death three men who were imprisoned and who were to be cut with the sword.
So, you have been given the great grace from God to pray for people and save those in trouble! You have also become famous for your help among the infidel Hagarians. Can’t you just help me, unfortunate and needy, even if I myself have prepared this lot for myself?
Intercede for me from the despondency and despair that surrounds me in evil. Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself suffered imprisonment in prison for the holy faith and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how difficult it is to be deprived of freedom and to remain in chains.
Since you have helped many who pray to you in prison! Make this misfortune easier for me, who is sitting in prison. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!
Pray earnestly for this too, that we may be delivered from eternal prison, that with your help we may be saved, I glorify God, wondrous in His saints, amen.”
Saint Anastasia the Patternmaker - life
At the end of the 3rd century, a daughter, Anastasia, was born into the family of the Roman senator Pretextatus. Her mother Fausta (or Favsta) was a Christian. From an early age, at the request of her mother, the teacher Chrysogon was involved in raising Anastasia. The girl grew up virtuous and merciful. However, by the will of her father, Anastasia became the wife of the pagan Publius.
At the turn of the 3rd - 4th centuries, the Roman Empire was ruled by Diocletian, an ardent opponent and persecutor of Christianity. Many Christian believers ended up in prison and died. Anastasia secretly visited prisoners, comforting them and providing assistance (carrying food, bandaging the wounded). When her husband found out about this, he severely beat his wife and locked her at home.
After some time, Publius went to Persia and drowned in the sea. Freed from domestic captivity, Anastasia began to serve people imprisoned with even greater zeal. She spiritually strengthened many in the upcoming trials. When her teacher Chrysogon was arrested and sent into exile, Anastasia followed him, helping him and other convicts in every possible way.
One day, having learned about the execution of people, she cried loudly, thereby revealing that she was a Christian. She was captured, but upon learning that Anastasia was from a noble family, they suggested that she renounce Christ. It was enough to simply make sacrifices to the pagan gods. She refused, and when trying to touch Anastasia, the pagan priest went blind. The saint was again free and continued her ministry.
After some time, she was imprisoned and tormented by hunger for two months. Seeing that Anastasia the Patternmaker did not receive any harm, she and the other convicts were put on a ship. The bottom of the ship was pierced to sink it into the sea. However, a miracle happened: the ship safely reached the shore. 120 prisoners, seeing the miraculous salvation, decided to be baptized.
Having learned about this, the ruler ordered everyone to be executed. Anastasia was stretched between four pillars and set on fire. According to legend, the saint's body was not burned. The pious Christian Apollinaria buried Anastasia. At the end of the 5th century, the body was transferred to Constantinople.
The Orthodox Church established the Day of Remembrance of Saint Anastasia the Pattern Maker on January 4 according to the new style.
Miracles performed by Anastasia the Pattern Maker
In Moscow in 2003, a temple was built in the name of Anastasia the Pattern Maker. The construction initiative belonged to Sergei Zhigulin. In 1996, with the blessing of the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' Alexy II, he was sent to Grozny (Chechnya), where he was captured by militants. For five months he was tortured and starved. The prayer of Anastasia the Pattern Maker, as the former prisoner later recalled, helped him withstand such a test. Returning to Moscow, he became a monk with the name Philip and began to petition for the construction of a temple in the name of the martyr Anastasia the Pattern Maker.
Currently, in the existing church, a prayer service is served weekly with the reading of an akathist (praise-giving reading) to St. Anastasia the Pattern Maker. There were cases when, after regular visits to services, relatives of convicts received gracious help. An unplanned amnesty was announced, and some court cases were redirected for retrial.
