  2. Thoughts. Sacred texts are read with a pure soul and intentions - you should not wish harm to your enemies. Mentally you pacify your enemies and send them good thoughts;
  3. The bottom line. When praying, you need to invest in every word, filling it with bright energy and directing it to the desired path, without being distracted by extraneous thoughts and desires.

How to understand if someone is gossiping about you

There are several signs that others will spread rumors about you or are already doing so.

They've already gossiped about others

If someone likes to discuss other people's lives, it means that he is unlikely to deny himself the pleasure of gossiping about you. Such people like to ingratiate themselves in order to extract the information they need. And if you open up with them, after some time you can learn a lot of new things about yourself - albeit from new lips.

They stop talking when they see you

If, for example, you walk into a room full of colleagues and they suddenly go silent, this could be a pretty worrying sign. Of course, they could be talking about something frivolous. But most likely they were just discussing you.

They ask you strange questions

If, for example, someone started a rumor that you were vacationing in the Maldives during an extended vacation, there may be someone who is interested in knowing the details. And this person will be very surprised when he finds out that you actually spent a week at home with a fever.

Sometimes, if the interlocutor is afraid or embarrassed to ask directly, he can ask leading questions like “What did you do over the weekend?” or “How did you spend your free time?”

The most powerful prayers from enemies

The simplest and most powerful prayers from enemies are offered to the Lord in his three guises: Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Moreover, they are divided into:

  • morning, included in the prayer rule;
  • requests for preservation for the whole day.

Among the morning prayers, the following prayers are considered the most effective:

“To You, my God and Creator, in the Holy Trinity, the glorified Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I worship and entrust my soul and body, and I pray: You bless me, You have mercy on me, and deliver me from all worldly, devilish and bodily evil . And grant that this day may pass in peace without sin, to Thy glory and to the salvation of my soul. Amen".

It makes it possible to turn to the Most Holy Trinity for shelter from attacks and protection from evil people and to ask for blessings and favors for the believing soul.

The most universal prayer, which can be read at any time of the day, is considered to be an appeal to the Guardian Angel:

“Angel of God, my holy Guardian! For the observance given to me by God from heaven, I diligently pray to Thee: Enlighten me today and save me from all evil, instruct me in good deeds and direct me on the path of salvation. To my good Guardian Angel! Help me not to deceive, not to flatter and not to judge any of my neighbors, to create God’s righteousness and truth in order to receive salvation. Amen".

This doxology allows you to turn not only for salvation and protection, but also for guidance and indication of the right path during the day. The main daily prayers include asking the Lord for protection:

“Glory to Thee, O King, God Almighty, Who through Thy Divine and humane providence hast made me, a sinner and unworthy, worthy to rise from sleep and receive the entrance of Thy holy house: accept, O Lord, the voice of my prayer, like Thy holy and intelligent powers, deign with a pure heart and a humble spirit to bring You praise from my vile lips, for I will be a fellow member of the wise virgins, with the bright light of my soul, and I glorify You in the Father and the Spirit of the glorified God of the Word. Amen".

Prayer from enemies and evil people at work to St. George the Victorious

Throughout his worldly life, Saint George glorified the Lord and was faithful to him, not renouncing until the very end. The demonstrated strength of spirit and faith, as well as righteousness, made it possible to elevate the Great Martyr to the rank of Saints, making him a symbol of victory and a protector of the weak. In order to offer a prayer from envious people and ill-wishers at work, Saint George needs to:

  • install an icon with the face of the Victorious;
  • light three church candles;
  • Fill a glass vessel with holy water.

Before reading the sacred text, you should focus on work, imagine the image of an enemy who rejoices at your achievements or is in a good mood. Then you should say a prayer:

“I turn to You, Saint George the Victorious and Savior, I, the Servant (Servant) of God (God’s) (proper name). Hear my prayer and come down to me from heaven. Help me, give me strength in my work, make me strong in spirit. Help me overcome all the difficulties in my work, overcome the litigation that happened at work. Make sure that the authorities are well disposed. And if I am destined to be fired, then may Christ forgive me for all my rash acts. Amen".

After crossing yourself, you need to drink three sips of holy water. The prayer should be read three times a week. If there is more than one envious person or enemy, the prayer service is repeated for each of them separately.

Orthodox prayers from enemies (visible and invisible)

You can form a dense shield around yourself that can protect you from any misfortunes, bile tongues and unkind glances, with the help of prayer from enemies and evil people and ill-wishers. The advantage of this doxology is that there is no need to know your enemies by sight and ask for God’s grace to descend into their hearts. The prayer is read daily in the morning in complete solitude:

“Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal! I ask you to have mercy on me, servant of God (proper name), and grant me your strong protection. Protect me from all visible and invisible evil, cover me from human malice done, conceived or intentional. Order, Lord, to accompany me to my Guardian Angel and take away any troubles and misfortunes from me. Save and preserve me, my Angel, do not allow evil people to inflict spiritual and physical damage on me. Protect me, Almighty and All-Merciful, through kind and positive people. Amen".

Protective

It so happened that they asked for protection for themselves and the whole family by reading psalms or praying to the Most Holy Theotokos. Protective prayers from enemies and evil people addressed to the Mother of God include two stages:

  1. Reading “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice...”;
  2. Main chant.

You need to ask the Mother of God in the following words:

“Save and have mercy on us, your sinful servants (I list my name and the names of loved ones) from vain slander and from all kinds of troubles, misfortunes and sudden deaths. Have mercy in the daytime hours, morning and evening, and protect us at all times - standing, sitting, walking on every path, sleeping in the night hours. Provide, intercede, cover and protect, Lady Theotokos, from all enemies - visible and invisible, from every evil situation, in every place and at every time - be our Mother of Grace, an insurmountable wall and a strong intercessor. Always now, forever and forever! Amen!"

Among the most effective texts of the Old Testament are the psalms of David. They have great power:

  • protect from evil;
  • shelter from wickedness;
  • protect from unkind and dishonest people;
  • protect from intrigues and attacks.

The strongest defense is the psalm. The text of the psalm, written by the hand of a mother, will protect you from any leprosy and help in trouble, so you should always carry it with you.

Prayers to remove damage and the evil eye from ill-wishers

Often, the reason for failures in business and at work can be someone else’s curse. Before taking certain measures, you should find out whether a person has damage or the evil eye according to the following signs:

  • sharply deteriorated health;
  • depression, depression, sadness;
  • negative attitude towards the environment;
  • reluctance to do anything, lack of goals and aspirations;
  • drowsiness or insomnia, nightmares;
  • constant anxiety, increased fearfulness;
  • auditory or visual hallucinations.

It is better to combat magical interference with the help of prayers. For help in healing from the curse, they turn to the Most Holy Theotokos.

“O Most Pure Mother of our Lord, All-Tsarina! Hear the painful and sincere sighing of the Servant of God (proper name). I humbly stand before your image, offering up a prayer for help and protection. Pay attention to my groans and do not leave me without your support in my difficult hour of life. Just as every bird protects its chicks from threats with its wings, so cover me with your protective cover. Become my hope in days of testing, help me survive severe sorrows and preserve my soul. Instill strength in me to resist enemy attacks, grant me patience and wisdom to make the right decisions, do not let despair and weakness take over my soul. May your blessed light shine over me and illuminate my path in life, removing from it all the obstacles and traps placed by evil people and devilish forces. Heal, Holy Mother of God, my mental and physical ailments, brighten my mind, so that I can make the right decisions and resist my enemies, visible and invisible. Pray for me, Heavenly Queen, before your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. I believe in your mercy and hope for your help, I glorify you in my prayers. Amen".

You can also read this prayer if you fear for your own life or the safety of someone else. It is better to say sacred words in front of a small icon, which you should always carry with you.

Where does gossip come from?

There are three main ways. In the first case, initially true information, having passed through several hands (or mouths), acquires incredible details, or even turns into something completely different. Someone heard something wrong, someone misunderstood, someone forgot part of it and made it up on their own - this is how real facts can give rise to gossip.

The second reason is the spread of unverified information, that is, rumors. When a person knows something only fragmentarily, he strives to figure out what is missing on his own. For example, someone saw something briefly or heard it out of the corner of his ear, “learned everything” and spread it around. This is how the most ridiculous gossip can appear.

Finally, the third reason is when people deliberately spread false information. Motives may be different:

  • Boredom. People try to compensate for inferiority and lack of color in their own lives, and therefore they exaggerate/distort information about others or invent fables and purposefully create conflicts.
  • Out of a desire to rise in the eyes of others. Gossip performs an important social function: retelling it brings people closer together. Some may spread defamatory information about others to gain attention and increase their authority.
  • Out of anger. Gossip canE. Seppälä. What to Do When You're the Target of a Hurtful Office Rumor / Harvard Business Review is spread by spiteful critics who deliberately try to denigrate a person against whom they, for some reason, harbor a grudge.
  • Because of a spoiled first impression. People often make assumptions about another person based on their first meeting and sometimes spread these preconceptions among people they know.

Use psychological techniques

It is impossible to ensure that people stop gossiping about you forever. Your task is to try to minimize the desire of people to talk about you behind your back. In order to achieve a successful result, try to master some psychological techniques:

  • Ignore any attacks and do not show that your feelings are hurt, even if this is the case: gossipers clearly calculate not only their actions, but also your reaction to them. By ignoring gossip, you will confuse the schemer.
  • Always try to objectively evaluate both positive and negative events in life. Your ability to remain cool in any situation will protect you from the emotional swing that gossip can drag you into.
  • Develop a model of behavior with the gossiper. The tactic of endless clarification will allow you to confuse the gossiper - clarify every word in his question or comment if you understand that his interest is related to the desire to find out personal information about you.

Share only positive and neutral information


Another way to avoid gossip about yourself is to stop telling strangers about your failures. Your problems are unlikely to be solved if more people find out about them. But ill-wishers will have much more reasons for gossip and rumors. Therefore, try to broadcast only positive or neutral information about yourself to the masses. It just so happens that gossipers are much more interested in discussing the negative aspects of another person’s life and failures.

Don't make excuses


If a colleague or relative discusses you in front of other people and tries to shame you for some aspect of your life, do not make excuses. Give up the feeling of guilt and the need to justify your actions and actions to strangers. Remember that the more you show weakness and defend yourself, the more reasons for envious people to gossip.
