Spousal Prayer

Extremely important in a shaky relationship between husband and wife is the marital prayer “My Lord.” Its text is based on gratitude to God for the gift of a soul mate among a huge number of people. And if two people found each other, tied the knot, gave birth to children in love and prosperity, nothing should come between them, sow discord and, even more so, separate them.

Text of the marital prayer

My Lord! I thank You that in this world, where there is so much indifference and loneliness, You gave me a person who became so close to me that he merged with me into one whole.

Save our family happiness from selfishness, suspicion and evil causeless jealousy.

Give us the strength to forgive each other and forget previous grievances.

Save our union from the deceit of evil people, and may no person ever come between the two of us.

Let our children grow up in love and obedience, in happiness and joy.

Do not separate us until death and give us the desire to care for each other with tenderness.

Nourish our love from heavenly sources, so that it grows deep into the Kingdom of God, into eternal life.

Spousal prayer seeks to accomplish the following good works:

  1. Prevent possible separation of spouses.
  2. If one of your close people commits infidelity or other inappropriate actions, the prayer asks him to come to his senses and remember who is truly dear to him.
  3. There are discords in every family, and prayer calls for them to stop.

The first part of the prayer says: “My Lord, I thank you for the gift.” Indeed, in the modern world, where many people cannot find their chosen one in their entire lives, married couples look like real lucky ones.

Life together is a real storehouse of happiness and positive emotions, and a spouse is a reliable support and advisor for many years

Such a gift must be cherished throughout your life and under no circumstances should you be allowed to lose each other.

Prayer against desecration:

Lord our God, one good and loving of mankind, one holy and resting among the saints! You showed by vision to Your supreme Apostle Peter that nothing that You created for food and enjoyment of people should be considered unclean or unclean, and through Your chosen vessel, the Apostle Paul, you gave the commandment that for the pure everything is pure: You Yourself, the Most Holy Master, by invoking the terrible and Your most pure name, and the sign of the Holy and Life-giving Cross, bless and cleanse me, Your servant (name), defiled from every evil spirit, from every dream and poisonous vile thing, from all lawlessness and from all deception, from all sorcery and from all vanity, and from every disease and every disease, and from every hostile villainy of the devil. And now, by Your mercy, grant me, Thy unworthy servant (name), to serve Thy most pure Mysteries. And first, cleanse my soul and body from all filth, and forgive every sin, voluntary and involuntary, which I have sinned all the days of my life, in deed, word and thought, day and night, and until this hour. And grant me, Lord, to perform this terrible service in the presence of the Heavenly Regiments, and to partake of Your most pure Mysteries, not in court or condemnation, but in the forgiveness of sins, and in the coming of the Holy Spirit, and to life in eternal joy, which You have prepared for Your true servants. Save me, Lord Almighty, from all sin and malice, save strangers from filth and vice from all leprosy of the hostile devil; and grant me, Lord, to serve You in holiness and truth until the last day, and hour, and my death.

For You bless and sanctify everything, Christ our God, and we send up glory to You with Your Beginning Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and always and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

What does prayer protect against?

Further, the marital prayer asks to preserve family happiness from selfishness. This is a pressing issue of our days, because at the very beginning of a relationship, future spouses try to woo each other, to please their other half. It happens that they even do things that are unusual for them, through force, because they love and can force themselves, they overpower themselves for the sake of another person. But there is an opinion that after legitimizing the relationship, you can return to your usual course of behavior, because the person is already mine. This is not true at all, and either initially one should not pretend and behave naturally, or the attitude for which the second spouse fell in love must be borne every day, all his life. In this case, the second spouse should not be annoyed, but treat his beloved half with understanding and try to always love her, regardless of changes in behavior.

The following lines pray for the preservation of the union from the deceit of evil people. Here we are talking about cheating on a loved one in marriage. Of course, the one who acts in this way must be condemned, because he betrays the person to whom he promised at the altar to love forever. But, at the same time, the second spouse should also look at his reflection in the mirror - maybe something has changed over the years? No, not in appearance, in behavior, in attitude, maybe she herself gives a reason to behave like this with him. There are always two people to blame for any marital problem, and both must find the strength to eradicate evil, reach some kind of agreement, make some promises to each other, or try to fulfill old dreams.

How to learn to love loved ones? Prayer for family and loved one

How to learn to love those close to you, especially your family? And how to stop seeing only appearance and behavior in people?

How to love people the way they are? Here you need to know yourself. And when you see yourself as you really are, you will begin to treat everyone else more leniently, including your family. Because relatives are people who, like a mirror, remind us. We all, especially in the family, among relatives, are all similar to each other, we have the same qualities. And what irritates you in your loved one is there in you too, you just don’t see it in yourself. When you see this, you will understand, then others will stop annoying you. So you need to know yourself.

Prayer for children's health

“May our children grow up in obedience, happiness and joy” - this line says that marital prayer also helps in protecting children from demons and evil eyes.

The second, and much more valuable gift that the Lord could give is the birth of a new life, because, again, many even loving couples cannot conceive a child for many years. Also, a family that was able to give birth to several babies, and they all grow and enjoy life, is perhaps the happiest. Children, at times, greatly irritate us, do many things differently than we want, and in marital prayer we ask the Lord for help in raising them. In fact, the issue here is very controversial, because with the birth of a child, a new personality begins to form. And it is important not to adjust it to your own framework and requirements, but on the contrary, to allow it to develop as best as possible, to explore the world, only by guiding the child in the right direction. And in case of disobedience, such a moment must simply be endured, and soon, growing up, he himself will understand that he was wrong, but he will not have negative feelings towards his parents for punishing him and not allowing him to do what he wants.

“Do not separate us until death and let us take care of each other with tenderness” are the most correct lines that do not need to be interpreted. Any family, regardless of age, financial situation, health, should always be together, and every problem will be overcome.

And it doesn’t matter whether the children have grown up and gone to seek their own destiny, or not yet, we should always consult with each other, see each other as often as possible, love each other. Because not a single person on earth has anything closer to his family.

How to learn to love God?

Why should we love the Lord God? And how can a feeling of love arise for someone with whom there is no direct direct contact? Why should we love Him more than our parents, wife and children? Regarding them, we can understand why, why we love them.

Of course, it is impossible to love someone with whom there is no direct direct contact. Therefore, you must have this contact with the Lord. Otherwise we will not love Him. You must have the closest fellowship with the Lord. How will it be? Some kind of telepathic contact or the appearance of Christ to the people? No, that won't happen. Although, telepathic contact, if you call it that, can occur during prayer, when we communicate with God. And prayer is not a monologue, but a dialogue. We don’t just speak some words into space, we receive a response from God. You just need to listen a little. The Lord is near. A person slowly gets to know Him, tunes in with Him, learns to understand, learns to accept. And the more he knows God, the more closely he comes into contact with Him, the better he knows Him, the more he begins to love him.

At the first stage, most likely, it will be attempts to love God. Here you will love your wife, children and parents more than Him. But gradually, as you go through life, from year to year, getting to know God, communicating with him more and more closely, noticing him in your life, you will eventually come to the conclusion that he is really more important to you. And this is natural and correct. More important than his wife, more important than his children, more important than his parents, and more important than anything else, even his own life. It is through him that you truly love your wife, and your children, and your parents. Yes, you can do it without it too. But this love will not be of the purity, not of the holiness that it should be.

About the prayer of the spouses

The Church cannot exist without common prayer and without the Eucharistic communion of its members. Without common prayer, without common religious life and spiritual experiences, it is impossible to build a home church - a Christian family, the smallest unit of the common Church of Christ. Many confessors understood this well. Father Alexander Tolgsky [1] did not just ask in confession whether his spiritual child prayed every morning and evening, but whether he prayed daily with his spouse.

At the beginning of the Liturgy of the Faithful, the priest loudly proclaims: “Grant to us with one mouth and one heart to glorify and glorify Your Most Honorable and Magnificent Name, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.”

If the priest asks for the whole church, for everyone standing in the church, to have one mouth and one heart for prayerful and Eucharistic communion with the Holy Trinity, then even more so it is necessary for those who make up “one flesh” to have one mouth and one heart. How can this one flesh not offer to the Lord a common prayer for its needs, its thanksgiving and strengthen its unity through joint communication with God.

Common prayer protects against quarrels, forces those who quarrel to reconcile, and helps to resolve misunderstandings that arise between people. It should be introduced from the very first days of married life - then it will be much more difficult to establish it, because common prayer arises more easily with the complete loving openness of souls towards each other, when new forms of life and way of life are jointly sought - until a common circadian rhythm is possible before the birth of children life. The joint prayer rule of husband and wife is the basis for building a home church. It helps to cultivate prayer in children and organize family prayers.

Sometimes one hears objections to the joint daily prayer of spouses, both from the laity and from young priests. But before answering these objections, it should be remembered that the Holy Fathers distinguished several degrees of prayer.

“First degree,” writes St. Theophan the Recluse [2], - physical prayer, mainly in reading, standing, bowing. Attention runs away, the heart does not feel, there is no desire: there is patience, labor, sweat. Despite this, however, set limits and pray. This is active prayer. The second degree is attentive prayer: the mind gets used to gathering at the hour of prayer and saying it all with consciousness, without plunder. Attention merges with the written word and speaks as if it were its own. The third degree is the prayer of feeling: attention warms the heart, and what is in thought becomes here a feeling. There is a word of contrition, and here there is contrition; there is a request, and here there is a feeling of need and need. He who has turned to feeling prays without words, for God is the God of the heart. With this, reading can stop, just like thinking, but let only remain in feeling with certain prayer signs. The fourth degree is spiritual prayer. It begins when the feeling of prayer rises to the point of continuity. It is the gift of the Spirit of God praying for us - the last degree of prayer comprehended” [3].

Why prayer helps change your life for the better

Prayer, which changes life for the better, has a beneficial effect on a person and gives him the necessary strength.

Prayer, which changes life for the better, is designed to have a beneficial effect on a person’s destiny, give him spiritual strength, heal his soul and give it immortality.

Statistics show that religious people suffering from incurable diseases live several years longer than atheists with similar diagnoses. This is explained by the fact that prayer deprives a person of fear.

He accepts true values ​​and gains peace of mind. After all, it is he who is able to strengthen the body, restoring the body’s protective functions.

It has been experimentally proven that prayer during its pronunciation helps cope with high blood pressure, eliminates the symptoms of diabetes, normalizes metabolic processes in the body and cholesterol levels

It is especially important to pray for people who often become depressed and suffer from other severe forms of mental illness.

The result of a survey of people suffering from similar ailments showed that the vast majority of them became adherents of religion. This helped them get rid of attacks of aggression, despair and depression.

Usually the prayer is said:

  • after sunrise and before sunset;
  • a prayer that can change life and destiny for the better can be said before and after meals;
  • It is recommended to pray before starting a responsible task or after its completion;
  • no one will forbid a person to express his gratitude to the saints or ask them for help at any other time.

In the morning, prayer is said immediately after waking up. You can read it from memory, or using a prayer book. In the evening, it is not recommended to postpone turning to higher powers until later. The church has not defined a strict time for turning to God.

A believer should strive for constant prayer and unceasing communication with the Almighty. There is a rule of reading the same prayer multiple times throughout the day. To do this, you must obtain the blessing of a priest and take into account that the frequency of repetition of the prayer has strict limitations.

People who have used Joseph Murphy's prayers claim that they have truly magical effects.

Murphy's life-changing prayer is based on the theory that every person is an element of the Universe that helps him get everything that he truly strives for. It represents an appeal to higher powers in a more natural and free form.

The text of the prayer must be said out loud 2 times a day (no more than 15 minutes). This rule must be followed for a month.

Every person can radically change their destiny with the help of miraculous prayer. She is able to overcome a serious physical illness, advance in her career, and help her find true love.

You can say a prayer under different circumstances. Visiting church and lighting candles at the faces of saints is encouraged. It is not forbidden to pray at home or immediately before making a responsible decision.

There is nothing impossible for higher powers. The basis of any prayer should be sincere faith in the great power of the saints and their desire to help every person.

Which Saints are best to turn to in prayers for a meeting with a loved one?

Love is an interesting topic.
The word “love” can be used to describe anything. And “God is love!” (1 John 4:16). That's what the Bible says, and it's true! But love is sometimes also called simply close relationships. These are all different things. Love is very diverse. It’s one thing when you love your wife, it’s another thing when you love your children, your parents, your Motherland and your neighbors. Marital love can also be different. It’s one thing when at the “bride and groom” level, another thing is the first year, the beginning of family life. Gradually this love changes, becomes deeper, less noticeable. All this calms down and comes to a more stable state. But this does not make love weaker. On the contrary, it becomes stronger, its roots penetrate deeper and deeper. It's like you grow into the person you love. Therefore, love does not decrease over time, but increases. It's wonderful when we have the opportunity to live love from the moment of its inception throughout our lives and see how it changes. Which Saints should you turn to for help?

  1. Lord Jesus Christ.
  2. Mother of God.
  3. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
  4. Guardian Angel.
  5. Ksenia of Petersburg.
  6. Righteous Joachim and Anna.
  7. Holy martyrs Guria, Samon and Aviv.
  8. Natalia and Andrian.
  9. Peter and Fevronia.
  10. John the Theologian.

About the happiness of a daughter or son

Maternal prayer has incredible power, and helps in the most difficult moments: in illness, lack of money, loneliness and all sorts of other worldly affairs. It is parents who are the patrons of the happiness of their child, they raise him, teach him and pray to the Lord for their well-being.

Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my children (names) and turn them to repentance.

  • Place your hands together.

But some prayers can be read

without adhering to this rule. At the same time, a person must have faith that his request will be heard and fulfilled.

Saints Peter and Fevronia of Murom are among the most famous defenders of love in the family. Another holy couple - Anna and Joachim - are the parents of the Mother of God, who lived their whole lives together and are the ideal of the family. They are addressed in prayers in cases where the family is on the verge of divorce or quite serious problems are occurring in it.

And they turn to Saint Paraskeva when problems in the family arise not among spouses, but among children and parents.

Prayer for evil thoughts:

My Most Holy Lady Theotokos, with Your saints and all-powerful prayers, remove from me, Your humble and unworthy servant, despondency, forgetfulness, recklessness, negligence and all nasty, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my accursed heart and from my darkened mind; and extinguish the flame of my passions, because I am poor and pitiful. Deliver me from many evil thoughts16. and enterprises, free me from all evil deeds. For You are blessed in all generations and Your most honorable name is glorified forever and ever. Amen.

Reading rules

Before you start reading the prayer, you should prepare for it.

  2. To tune in to prayer, you can light a candle near the holy image and stand in silence for a while. You will feel the moment when you need to start praying yourself.
  3. It is also important to choose in advance who you will pray to.

To help warring spouses

Many girls believe that if “I am to blame” for a quarrel, then it is necessary to read some kind of conspiracies for reconciliation. It is worth saying right away that the church does not welcome any rituals, witchcraft, magic, or the reading of dubious prayers.

It also won’t hurt one of the spouses to go to church and order a prayer service for the eradication of anger and the increase of love. You can order it at any temple. The note must include the names of both spouses.

The holy fathers also recommend that spouses read psalms, which strengthen family ties and are an inexhaustible source of worldly wisdom.

If there are any difficulties, then you need to read the following psalms:

  • Psalm 43 – protects against hasty decisions and conclusions, gives the opportunity to reflect on what has been done and gives wisdom in resolving various family troubles;
  • 45 – protects against homewreckers;
  • Psalm 54 - after reading it, the spouses treat each other with respect;
  • 116 – brings kindness, love, respect to the family;
  • 126 – gives spouses the opportunity to think about their actions every time, learn to give in and respect each other.

Pray, driving away negative thoughts from yourself. If hatred and resentment predominate in the soul, then it is better to postpone conversion until calm comes.

There must be an icon of the Mother of God and Jesus.

How to read

Two people should take care of the well-being of the family - husband and wife. When two people worry about the well-being of the family, the relationship strengthens.

However, one should not assume that prayer alone is a universal helper in life’s adversities. If your attitude to the problem does not change, your heart does not soften, then a miracle, as if by magic, will not happen. The Lord helps those who lament in prayer about their behavior, even if they bear a lesser degree of guilt; in this case, having secured the support of God, one can hope for a miracle.

Therefore, if you have decided to pray for the salvation of your family or for the improvement of relationships, do not forget to also communicate with your soulmate, be interested in how your lover or lover breathes and lives.

Advice! Before reading the prayer, you need to establish relationships with your household - reconcile with them if you are in conflict, ask for forgiveness, even if the quarrel was not provoked by you.

The person who is the first to seek reconciliation shows in this way that, no matter what, not taking into account any circumstances, he is ready to meet halfway, because this relationship, this family is valuable to him.
