Thoughts give rise to actions. A well-known truth in which lies not only the wisdom of centuries, but also one of the main purposes of man on this earth - to do good and love one’s neighbor. But how often it is thoughts that do not provide the opportunity to go through life correctly and faithfully, giving rise to evil and recklessness - a real personal hell in the head. Getting rid of it is very difficult, and sometimes simply impossible, because this requires enormous inner strength, which not every person is endowed with. And then the Lord and the faith that He instills in souls and hearts comes to the rescue. This article will tell you how to get rid of bad thoughts in your head. Prayer, only prayer, sincere and pure, is the power given to a true Christian so that he can understand himself, get rid of everything negative and start a new, better life, full of joy and light.
Prayers that will help
Among Orthodox Christians, many use the recommendation of Seraphim of Sarov to protect the soul from sin. These are two prayers that any person can understand and pass through. They:
- They will become a replacement for those thoughts that have a destructive effect.
- Make the mind more disciplined and flexible.
- Helps improve concentration.
- Will relieve you from painful conditions.
The first prayer is called the “Jesus Prayer” and sounds like this:
Its full version can be replaced with just two words: “Lord, have mercy!” If you repeat prayer throughout the day, you gradually move to the subconscious level. In addition, you follow the instructions of the Apostle Paul, who recommended praying constantly.
Saint Seraphim also recommended remembering prayer against all filth, which is also called “Prayer.” With its help, we call on God to cleanse our soul from bad thoughts, to protect it from possible negative influences from the outside (for example, from damage). It sounds like this:
A conspiracy to impose thoughts on a lover
Often girls resort to magic if they want to make a man think about them all the time. To make your wish come true, you should take a photo of your beloved guy. At midnight, put it on the table and light a red candle. While the candle is burning, you should repeat a strong spell on thoughts about yourself:
When the candle burns out, collect the wax and photo and place it in a red silk cloth. Take your beloved guy to the house and leave him under the threshold. In two or three days he will come to you and offer to renew the relationship.
Prayers to saints for protection from demons
In addition to the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 90, there are several other powerful prayers for protection from demons. In these prayers, believers ask the saints for protection. For example, to Seraphim of Sarov, who lived in Tsarist Russia just a few centuries ago. During his lifetime, he became so famous for his pious lifestyle, insight and compassion for all those who suffer that not only Orthodox believers, but also adherents of other faiths turned to him for help. The Monk Seraphim of Sarov was known as a protector from demonic attacks.
Prayer to Archangel Michael
A strong prayer from demons and all evil spirits - a prayer addressed to Archangel Michael, one of the most revered saints, protector of the human spirit and body, the leader angel of the army of God in the fight against demons.
Prayer to the Great Martyr Cyprian from evil spirits
One of the most powerful prayers against damage, the evil eye, witchcraft and evil spirits is considered to be the prayer to the Great Martyr Cyprian. This saint is more familiar than anyone with witchcraft and the devilish spirit - before converting to the Christian faith, he was a sorcerer and warlock for thirty years. Many people turned to him to perform conspiracies, love spells and spells. Cyprian lived happily, receiving large fees from generous gentlemen. But one day he was faced with the fact that his powers did not work - one rich gentleman turned to Cyprian with a request to bewitch the righteous and pious nun Justinna. The sorcerer got down to business, but to no avail. Shocked, he began to study what Justinna’s power was, as a result of which he became imbued with faith and became a Christian, abandoning black magic forever. Interestingly, he later suffered martyrdom for his faith in Christ.
Prayer for protection from evil spirits in the house
Evil spirits can live not only in a person, but also in his home. How many cases are known of places “infected” with inexplicable frightening energies. Whatever they are called - poltergeists, ghosts, etc. But their essence is the same - demonism
The home of each of us, just like the body and soul, is vulnerable to evil spirits, and it is very important to protect it in a timely manner. Visits from unkind people, various energy and witchcraft influences can ruin the atmosphere in your home and make living in your own home unbearable
Below is a prayer written by Saint Pansophius of Athos. If you feel heavy energy in your home, you can help. You need to read this prayer nine times in a row for nine days, morning and evening, in a humble, harmonious and focused state.
Prayer of Pansophius of Athos
When reading prayers for protection from evil spirits, we must remember that the devil - or rather its manifestations in the form of temptations - is located within us. Mortal sins - envy, despondency, anger, greed, pride - are familiar to each of us, and it is they that weaken a person and make him vulnerable to evil forces. Demons and evil energies will not penetrate into a pure soul, for example, as happened with the nun Justina, who was not overcome by Cyprian’s witchcraft spells. Each of us can protect ourselves with a pious lifestyle, cleansing the soul with prayers and living according to the laws of God.
Fear of society and people
Let's start with fear of people, society. Traditionally, David's psalms are believed to help with this type of anxiety. According to legend, King David, who ruled Israel in pre-Christian times, was fleeing from his own son Absalom, who wanted to take his throne. One day, pursued by enemies, King David prayed to the Lord asking for intercession. Surprisingly, the enemies were defeated without a fight, and the text of David’s prayer has survived to this day. Translated into Slavic, it is called Psalm 3 “Lord, why do my enemies multiply?”
Anxious anticipation
There are situations in life when a person is forced to be in a situation of anxious anticipation, worry and fear for himself, family and friends
For example, you are waiting for an important decision about work, health, a call from a significant person, and so on. In such cases, the believer is helped by a prayerful appeal to the Mother of God, whose help is especially effective in situations of anxious anticipation, when there are bad thoughts in the head and an uneasy soul
The prayer addressed to the Mother of God was composed by the Greek monk Theostirictus, who lived in the eighth century and was overcome by unfounded fears. A prayer canon to the Holy Mother of God, consisting of nine songs, can be found in every prayer book. There is also a shorter prayer to the Mother of God - singing “Offering to my Queen.”
Prayer for fear of people
The prayer is recommended for reading by those who are afraid of attack, robbery, deception and other dangers associated with people. Before saying a prayer, you should cross yourself three times. You need to pray for intercession in the following words:
“Lord, my Intercessor, protect me with holy angels from all evil, sorcery, misfortunes, from evil and dangerous people. May they not be able to cause me or my loved ones any harm. God, by Your power save me in the morning, in the evening, in the coming sleep, and by Your mercy prevent the evil deeds of people acting according to the devil’s decree. Whoever thinks, turn away their evil and direct them to the true path. Amen".
The root cause of any fear
Anxiety and fear can be both causal and without apparent causes. While human nature is damaged by sin, we all experience attacks of fear and anxiety from time to time. Fear is a consequence of the Fall, which means that the root cause of any fear has a spiritual basis. That is why prayers and appeals to the Lord for help and cleansing of the soul are the most effective and correct, in contrast to taking any “miracle pills for anxiety.”
We must also remember that the antipode of fear is love. Love in the present, not in the selfish sense of the word, is the most powerful energy of the Universe. In whom love lives, there is no fear. If there were no consequences of the Fall in man, then there would be no fear in him, but only love.
Prayer for anxiety to the Mother of God
There are situations in the life of every believer when they are overcome by anxious thoughts and worries about themselves, family, children, and friends. In such cases, prayers to the Mother of God help, they can relieve bad thoughts and mental anxiety. The most famous prayer to the Mother of God sounds like this:
“Mother of God, Virgin, rejoice, the Lord is with you. Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.”

For depression and despair, who should you pray to?
There are many prayers to miracle workers that can help in getting rid of such a difficult condition. First of all, it is necessary to select one or several sacred texts that can have a beneficial effect on the person asking.
It is quite simple to determine what kind of prayer for longing and despondency for a person will help quite simply, that is, when reading any of the prayer services, an Orthodox believer should feel that this particular prayer can help him.
Anyone who is in need and sincerely asks will be given a powerful prayer in desperation. The choice itself is simply necessary, because the reasons and types of appearance of this state can be varied, and therefore you need to find exactly the miracle worker who will hear, understand and fulfill the request of the believer as soon as possible.
And accordingly, prayer texts, as well as reasons, can be different, providing help in a given situation, for example:
- Prayer for despondency will help those who are in emotional imprisonment;
- If a person is separated from his family and people close to him, then prayer for melancholy will help him cope with this;
- But a prayer service for sorrows can save a believer from failures in various matters.

Help me the weak, strengthen me the suffering. You know my grievances and sorrows, resolve them, stretch out your hand over me, for I have no one to rely on, only You are my only protector and intercessor before the Lord, for I have sinned immeasurably and am sinful before You and people.
Be, my Mother, a comforter and helper and save me, drive away sorrow, melancholy and despondency from me. Help, Mother of my Lord."
The benefits of prayers against fear and anxiety
Prayer for anxiety and fear in the soul is the most important weapon in the fight against fear and fear of something. Very often we suffer from unjustified fears, afraid of what is actually not scary. This also applies to the fear of death.
Everything happens according to the will of God
Here it is very important to understand that even the death of a person is a manifestation of God’s care for man, His love for us. If a person leaves this earth, then all his spiritual experience that he should have received on earth has been completed
The further residence of the human soul in the body is meaningless and can only lead to the fact that a person will be filled only with sins, thereby alienating himself from God and eternal life.
Taking a person from the earth, God takes care of the soul
Or, on the contrary, a person (this applies to non-believing people) living on earth only sins, without even thinking about repentance. God also takes care of these people: seeing that a person will never come to faith and will not repent of his sins, He takes the soul to heaven, thus preventing it from descending into even greater depths of hell.
Seeing that a person will never come to faith and will not repent of his sins, He takes the soul to heaven
Understanding that God loves a person in all his manifestations and is always ready to come to his aid makes the fear of death meaningless. And, of course, we must also love God in return. This sincere love saves us from all fears.
At the same time as reading prayers for anxiety and fear in your soul, you should definitely bring repentance - sincere recognition of your sins and repentance for them.
The best way for an Orthodox Christian to repent is to confess and receive communion
By performing all the above actions in an inextricable connection, you will definitely forget what fear and anxiety are. These are not Divine categories, and if you constantly say the Orthodox prayer out of anxiety and fear in your soul, then these feelings will leave you.

The fear of God will deliver you from all unnecessary worldly fears that torment your soul.
What should be meant by the fear of God? This is the fear that a person should be afraid of being separated from God, of being torn away from Him because of his sins. We must be afraid to break God's commandments. This is what a person should be afraid of in earthly life. Other human fears are senseless and from the evil one.
We must be afraid to break God's commandments.
He never sleeps and always waits for any convenient moment to impose thoughts on a person that cause anxiety and fear. And here you always have to be on your guard and even have a weapon.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning one significant point that should always be kept in mind and remembered. Namely: the more and more diligently we begin to pray, the more Satan begins to tempt us.
We advise you to study the Icon of “Desperate One Hope”
The more we begin to pray, the stronger the support from God should be.
The evil one is afraid that the more you pray, the stronger the connection between you and God will be established. And in order to prevent this, he is trying in every possible way to win your soul to his side. To do this, Satan begins to tempt you, giving you thoughts that lead to fears and anxieties.
All worries and fears come from outside with unclean thoughts.
It is at this moment that you must understand that all anxieties and fears came from outside with impure thoughts. And if you clearly understand this, you will never give up in your prayer from bad thoughts in your head and will remain with God until the end.
Jesus Christ said that in His name all demons would be driven away.
How to get rid of fear and anxiety
In addition to Orthodox prayer, every believer should learn and accept in his heart these simple truths:
- Not everything in earthly life and the lives of your loved ones depends solely on you.
- You are unable to follow every moment and every step in your destiny.
- You cannot and should not keep all your problems in your head.
- The best defense against fear in any difficult situation is faith in the Lord and trust in His will.
- Not only do you believe in the Lord, but He also believes in you.
Prayers for fear in your own words
A prayer, albeit said in one’s own words, but coming with faith and from the depths of one’s soul is no less before the Lord than any other Orthodox prayer. They pray to God not with words, but with their souls, they pray not with sounds, but with their hearts, and such prayer, having acquired the wings of faith, is able to fly to the “ear” of the Lord.

What we must not forget when asking for care and help from heavenly powers
You should never miss such a moment as gratitude. This sincere feeling in itself can heal bad thoughts due to the fact that the focus of attention changes from negative aspects of life to positive ones. After all, in any, even the most hopeless situation, there are at least small moments that can bring satisfaction and happiness.
When turning to the Lord and other saints for help, be sure to thank them for their help and assistance in business, because everything in this life is given to us for growth and spiritual transformation.
Here are some ways you can express gratitude in prayer:
- At the end of each prayer, say sincere thanks to all the celestial beings. This will set you in the right mood and strengthen your faith in divine guidance. Even if you don’t see any significant changes in the surrounding situation yet, this is not a reason to despair and give up on your plans. We are not given the opportunity to fully understand the complexity of God’s plan, so trust everything that happens to you.
- Set aside a special day when, while communicating with the Lord, you will not ask for anything, but will simply express gratitude to our heavenly protectors. It is best to do this at least once a month. However, all this is purely individual, so listen to your inner feelings and the dictates of your soul. Gratitude, of course, must come from the heart. There is no need to say “thank you” in the hope of receiving some kind of reward from the angels for it.
Orthodox prayers for fear
A short appeal to the Lord will help you get rid of anxiety: “Lord God, everything is your will.” Prayers are addressed to him in case of complex depressive mood and internal struggle. The Most Holy Theotokos and the Guardian Angel also help in overcoming restless conditions.
There are prayers to get rid of fears:
- King David the Psalmist;
- Mary of Egypt.
Prayer for panic attacks
A panic attack is a human condition when, against the background of childhood fear, which has grown into fear, fear of the world around us and unmotivated aggression appear. This condition can lead a person to madness and other psychological consequences. Nerves shaken by panic are brought to calm by a combination of prayer requests and psychological consultations, sometimes with the use of medication.
A strong prayer is Psalm 90. Reading it helps to overcome any type of fear, being a guarantor of insurance against their occurrence in the future.
Prayer for imaginary fears
When there is a calm atmosphere around, but there is anxiety and a premonition of trouble in the soul, they turn to the Most Holy Theotokos.
Its strength is based on the personal feelings and emotions experienced by the Holy Virgin Mary in anticipation of the difficult death of her son.
In the 8th century, the Greek saint Theoktistos wrote song petitions to her, with daily reading of which fear and apprehension recede. The text of the canon is included in the prayer book.
In situations where there is no time to chant long texts, they turn to the Mother of God in their own words with a request to pray for themselves and close relatives. They use the prayer “O my Queen, offering” when reading it in front of the icon of the Mother of God in order to remove fear from family and friends.
Prayer to King David the Psalmist
King David lived BC in what is now Israel. His own son started a war with him for the kingdom. Tired of bloodshed, David prayed to the Lord and wrote a psalm.
While he was praying, all the enemies were defeated by the Lord without bloodshed.
This psalm is read at evening services in church. People who are timid and shy are characterized by fear of others. They are afraid of communication and behave aloof. To develop communication skills, the text of David’s psalms is read every day.
Prayer of Mary of Egypt
People who want to get rid of the fear of death come to the Venerable Mary of Egypt with prayer. They are exposed to it at any age under the influence of a series of deaths of loved ones and friends, military operations and terrorist attacks. It is especially difficult to overcome fear for those who witnessed the last minutes of a person’s life.
Maria, who lived in the V-VI centuries. in Alexandria, spent more than half a century completely alone in the Jordan Desert. At the age of 12, she left home and began to live a sinful life, indulging in carnal pleasures and temptations. At the age of 17, she joined a group of pilgrims heading to Jerusalem.
During the sea cruise, she continued her sinful activities and was not the least bit ashamed of it. Upon arrival at the temple, the pilgrims crossed themselves and entered, only Mary could not cross the threshold, held back by an invisible force. She fell to her knees and began to pray to the Lord for forgiveness. Seeing the icon of the Mother of God, she rushed to it with a promise to radically change her life. After tearful petitions, she entered the temple, prayed for a long time at the Holy Sepulcher and came out a completely different person.
As promised, Mary dedicated her life to prayer. She spent half a century in the desert, observing strict fasting. The priest Zosima from the Church of John the Baptist saw her rise above the ground during prayer and pass through the water as if on dry land. After a short conversation with him, Maria asked Zosima to give her communion in a year.
Exactly a year later, Zosima came to the desert and celebrated the sacrament of communion. A year later, he found the remains of the Venerable Mary and buried them.

Seraphim's prayer for bad thoughts in the head
It's no secret that thoughts have enormous power, which can affect a person in different ways. In Christianity, bad thoughts are interpreted as the fruit of suggestion from the evil one. And very often a person does not have the opportunity to cope with them on his own, and, as a result, gets mired in anger, hatred, and despondency.
Among the huge variety of prayers that are designed to help a believer find himself, one stands out clearly in Orthodoxy - the holy word of St. Seraphim of Sarov.
According to the saint himself, despondency is the most terrible sin, for it is the root of other sins, both individually and all together.
In such a state, a person completely loses control over himself, which in most cases becomes the cause of the most negative and sometimes tragic events.
The power of prayer is truly great. Faithful and tireless, it will not only become salvation, but will also help you get closer to God, to know His grace and love. The most powerful prayers, according to Saint Seraphim, which help get rid of bad and obsessive thoughts, are:
- “Jesus Prayer”;
- prayer to the Holy Trinity.
Each of them, despite their short form, has its own characteristics, but the main thing is their enormous power in the fight against evil, which brings indignation and grief to a person, “settled” inside and making life unbearable.
Prayer from bad thoughts in the head about death is not only words, it is the voice of the Lord, which purifies thoughts, helps the soul become happier and gives it something beautiful and eternal - peace, tranquility and grace.
Texts of prayers:
Jesus Prayer
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.
