Attention, TODAY only!
Prayer is a person’s communication with the Lord himself, which benefits both soul and body. Even among the so-called “non-believers” or “atheists” it is unlikely to be easy to find someone who has never asked the Higher Powers for help in their affairs.
A special case is when it’s hard for us, when we experience psychological, physical or moral discomfort. We ask God and His saints for help and assistance.
In the tradition of the Holy Church there are many prayers for any reason, and all of them, read sincerely, help in every need. If you cannot read prayers due to a serious illness, you can listen to them and silently ask for help.
St. Nicholas the Wonderworker has special power and grace to help.
Moreover, despite the fact that the saint lived in a distant warm country, his memory is especially honored in Russia. He is depicted on a triptych together with the Mother of God and the Lord Jesus - this is not by chance, for the great help and great deeds of the holy saint of God Nicholas, and he has enormous power.
The bishop became famous for many miracles, but more than anything else he is known for his great intercession for the undeservedly offended. He was not afraid to protect an innocent person from execution, snatching the sword from the hands of the executioner - this symbol is forever imprinted in the memory of mankind, therefore everyone who needs help resorts to the intercession of Nicholas the Pleasant.
How to ask for help?
Every person can ask Nicholas the Wonderworker for help in business; the main thing is to sincerely believe in the Lord and His Will, which accompanies us all the days of our lives.
In order for God to hear our prayer, we must forgive and ask for forgiveness from everyone with whom we are in a quarrel. This must be done sincerely, with all your heart. Only after this is it acceptable to begin the prayer itself. You should read the words of the prayer carefully, without being distracted for a second, feeling every word.
Do not forget, after receiving the requested help, to sincerely thank God and St. Nicholas for the help provided - God pleases prayers of thanks.
You can donate to the needs of the temple, light candles in front of the icon of St. Nicholas, order a prayer service to the holy saint of God. It is useful and correct to give generous alms in gratitude for the assistance provided in your affairs.
Prayer for help
A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help should not be fulfilled only in its form, only a sincere request can be fulfilled - the form must be filled with content. Even if you are reading a ready-made text (for example, an akathist), your thoughts must be concentrated and free from any evil thoughts.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker “For help”
“All-merciful Father Nicholas, shepherd and teacher, all who flow with faith to your intercession and call upon you with warm prayer! Strive quickly and deliver Christ’s flock from the wolves that destroy it; and protect every Christian country and save with your holy prayers from worldly rebellion, cowardice, invasions of foreigners and internecine warfare, from famine, flood, fire, sword and sudden death. And just as you had mercy on three men imprisoned, and you delivered them from the king’s wrath and the beating of the sword, so have mercy on me, in mind, word and deed, in the darkness of sins, and deliver me from the wrath of God and eternal punishment, as through your intercession and help With His mercy and grace, Christ God will give me a quiet and sinless life to live in this world, and will deliver me from this place, and will make me worthy to be on the right hand with all the saints forever and ever. Amen."
If you want to read a prayer that you found not in a special liturgical book, church brochure, or collection of prayers, but, for example, on the Internet (these days this is a popular source of a wide variety of information), or received on a piece of notebook paper from a grandmother you know, ask for advice a spiritually experienced comrade (friend, relative, parishioner of the same church as you). It is not only possible, but even necessary in difficult cases to resort to the help of a priest - he will tell you exactly what prayer to read or listen to.
Help can be received not only from God and His holy saints - when a person is surrounded by problems on all sides, he can turn in a completely different direction.
These days, the Internet is full of promises to solve all sorts of problems quickly and easily. These can be simple swindlers (harming your wallet), or magicians and esotericists of all stripes, causing serious damage to the soul.
Do not read spell prayers, do not sin against God, do not offend his faithful with witchcraft. If you are asked to pray with a certain number of candles, or to prepare for prayer in a strange, confusing way, do not do this under any circumstances. The only worthy and necessary preparation for prayer is humility and sincere repentance for one’s sins.

Life of a Saint
The biography of Nikolai Ugodnik does not shine with facts. The reason for this is the saint’s concealment of his good deeds from people. He did good in secret and carefully concealed his good deeds.
It is known that the boy was born into a pious family of wealthy Christians in the Roman province of Lycia. He loved Christ with all his heart and decided to devote his life to serving God.
He stayed in church all day long, praying, studying the Bible and Christian literature. His uncle, the Bishop of Patara, confirmed his nephew as a reader. This position is not as simple as it initially seems. A church minister is obliged not only to interpret the Holy Scriptures during Liturgies and other services, but also to deliver sermons and teach catechumens and children. The future saint performed his work “excellently,” so he was soon elevated to the priesthood and appointed junior cleric.
After his father and mother departed to the Lord, the heir distributed the resulting fortune to the poor and needy.
Nicholas began serving God during times of persecution of believers; he was arrested for his beliefs, but even here he constantly preached the Word of God and encouraged his fellow prisoners. After imprisonment, he returned to his beloved flock, was a true warrior of Christ and fought against the Arian heresy.
In 325, Saint Nicholas was honored to take part in the 1st Ecumenical Council, where he fiercely denounced the teaching of the heretic Arius and, at the end of his accusatory speech, whipped the false teacher on the cheeks. For assault, he was punished and deprived of the priest's liturgical attire - the omophorion, and then taken into custody. But at night, it was revealed to some of the fathers who took part in the meeting that Nicholas’s bold behavior was pleasing to the Almighty. He was released and reinstated.
Saint Nicholas of Myra reposed in Christ at an old age.
His mortal relics did not immediately find a permanent home. His incorruptible body, exuding fragrant myrrh, was laid to rest in the local church. From 1807 to the present day, the mortal relics of the Wonderworker rest in Italy in the city of Bari.
Miracles through the prayers of a saint
During his earthly life, the saint was a great benefactor: he restored speech to the dumb, gave sight to the blind, saved them from drowning and death penalty, enriched the poor, freed innocent prisoners from captivity.
And after death, he is a quick intercessor for anyone who turns to him with faith.
- The saint was born on the territory of modern Turkey. In the city of Demre, a statue of Santa Claus stands majestically - the prototype of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. A monastery was erected nearby, consecrated in his honor. In one of its confines there is a sarcophagus in which the saint was originally buried. In 1807, most of the relics were stolen and reburied in Bari. At the same time, a number of attacks were made on the temple, and later river waters and it was completely flooded. According to legend, Nicholas came in a dream to one of the clergy and ordered his relics to be transported to Bari. In such a miraculous way they maintained their integrity.
- Some of the relics were taken away by the Venetians. They dismantled the tomb and found only water and oil. There were no relics anywhere. Not believing it, they began to torture the guards. One of them pointed to the relics of two other saints: the martyr Theodore and the uncle of the Saint. They were wrapped in a bishop's robe. And then a miracle happened: a palm branch, brought by the Wonderworker from the Holy Land and placed with him in the coffin, sprouted. This was proof of Divine power.
- Once, going to Palestine, the saint had a vision: due to bad weather, the ship could go under water. Panic began on deck, the saint turned to God and the rampant elements quickly subsided. Another miracle happened here. The sailor slipped on the deck and fell lifeless. And again Nikolai helped - he resurrected the guy with prayers for help to the Almighty.
- During the siege of the city of Mozhaisk, an amazing sign happened: the image of St. Nicholas hovered in the air above the cathedral. In one right hand he clutched a sword, and in the other he held an image of the temple. The enemy, who saw the miracle, was very frightened and fled.
- In Kuibyshev (present-day Samara) funny company celebrated New Year. The boyfriend of one of the girls named Zoya was late for the holiday, and she angrily took the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker from the wall and began to dance with it. And suddenly she froze with the face of the saint pressed to her chest. The petrified Zoya could not be moved from her place, but she was alive, her heartbeat could be heard.
