Every person makes many mistakes and sins during his life on earth. This happens because a person does not always listen to his mind and gives in to every temptation. A strong Orthodox prayer “For a good cause” will certainly help you! After all, there are cases when a person is pushed into temptation by an evil spirit, or he is also called the evil one.
Prayer “For every good deed”: will certainly help you in doing good deeds!
But thanks to the logic, common sense and conscience given to man by God, he can realize his sins, repent of them and ask for forgiveness for what he has done. Having realized this, he no longer sins. Such a person thinks about good deeds and thinks about how to turn everything he does into a benefit for others.
Why should a person pray?
How to pray correctly and read a prayer for good
Jesus Christ said that prayer is an important matter and should be shared with the Lord repeatedly. He prayed himself.
Prayer forgives sins. When she sees that a person sincerely seems and wants to take the path of truth, when she sees his pain from what he has done and sees his desire to cleanse this soul, then she forgives him this sin, or rather helps him do it. The Lord God Himself forgives sin.
They also pray not for themselves; a person who believes in the Almighty respects him, thanks him, praises him, ensures the health and well-being of his entire family, children and grandchildren.
We thank God for taking care of us and our loved ones, we become closer to him. This is the rule of life. In order to have success in life, you need to draw closer to God every day. People who have already understood this and adhere to it have seen changes in themselves, in loved ones, in life, in health. In all aspects.

Troparions to God the Lord
Troparion, tone 2: Creator and creator of all things, / God, the works of our hands, begun for Thy glory / Hastily correct with Thy blessing / and deliver us from all evil // as one is Omnipotent and Lover of Mankind.
Glory, voice 6th:
Quick to intercede and strong to help / present yourself to the grace of Thy power now / and having blessed strengthened / and to complete the good intentions of Thy servants, bring about / all that you want // as the mighty God can do.
And now, the same voice:
The intercession of Christians is not shameful, / the intercession to the Creator is immutable, / do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, / but precede, as the Good One, those who faithfully call Thee to help us: / hasten to prayer and strive to supplicate, // ever interceding, O Theotokos, those who honor Thee.
Prokeimenon, tone 4: Be the Lord our God upon us, and correct the works of our hands.
Verse: And look upon thy servants and thy works.
Apostle to the Philippians: Beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, because God is at work in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do everything without complaining or doubting, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blame in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world, containing the word of life, to my praise in the day of Christ (Philippians 2:12-16 )
Gospel of Matthew: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you; For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Is there a man among you who, when his son asks him for bread, would give him a stone? and when he asks for a fish, would you give him a snake? If you therefore, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:7-11).

When to say a prayer?
Before starting any great, and even more so, noble deed, you can turn to prayer. You don't need to do this every day. It is enough to pray once before you start. Just pray with hope, and not because you have to.
This is a must.
Before the start of a large noble and God-pleasing event, it is necessary to order a prayer for a good cause.
A person who has just started to pray may experience completely different emotions. Some feel wild guilt, others feel shame. Someone's tears begin to flow. Someone experiences happiness and joy. This is another indicator, prayer is so powerful. She is capable of doing great things. And a person who lives with faith in God is also capable of great things.

Not slaughter from the fear of the night, from an arrow flying during the day, from things that come in the darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope; You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body, as He commanded His angels about you, to keep you in all your ways. They will take you in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For he has trusted in Me, and I will deliver and cover, and because he has known My name, he will call to Me and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him, I will fill him with long days, I will show him My salvation.”
Venerable Moses Murin
Oh, the great power of repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber. You were horrified by your sins, grieved over them, and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and received Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles. Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze upon them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their death, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (name), who were possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure One By the blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the power to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen".
“I believe in One God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible, in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, God is truth and from God is truth, born, not created, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and suffered and was buried. And rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father. And the future will bring about the living and the dead, and His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father. Let us worship and glorify those who spoke with the Father and the Son. Into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. Tea of the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen".

“Hear us, Merciful and Almighty God, may Thy grace be sent down through our prayer. Be merciful, Lord, to our prayer, remember Your law about the multiplication of the human race and be a merciful Patron, so that with Your help what You have established will be preserved. By Your sovereign power You created everything out of nothing and laid the foundation for everything that exists in the world - You created man in Your image and, with a sublime secret, sanctified the union of marriage as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the unity of Christ with the Church. Look, O Merciful One, on us, Thy servants, united in a marital union and begging for Thy help, may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and live to the desired old age and enter into The Kingdom of Heaven is by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due with the Holy Spirit forever.
