The Holy Fathers teach us not to indulge in empty talk and sinful hobbies, but to spend more time in conversation with God. Reading the Gospel, godly literature, repeating the words of prayer texts cleanses us from sins and opens the way to salvation. According to them, our life consists of a combination of prayer and work, which is also very important. And a prayer said before starting any work will give Divine grace and set a person up for fruitful, effective work.

Christ Himself encouraged us to turn to Him, saying: “Seek, ask, knock.” He promises to hear every faithful Christian, so prayers before starting a new business will help you find grace-filled help.

Conversation with God is the most intimate and valuable thing we have. Immortal, Great, he will send us light, insight, point out our vices, lead to salvation. A prayer call for help in all matters will definitely be heard if it comes from a pure heart.

Without any delay, the Heavenly King will help us carry out our plans, if it does not contradict the Holy Commandments.

The main thing in prayer for help in all matters is a “broken, humble heart”; God does not help proud and arrogant people. Along with prayer for everything to work out, we ask the Lord for the grace of the Holy Spirit, which strengthens us in the fight against sin. It is precisely this that is protection from the devil and his whims. A call for help before starting any task saves us from deadly incidents, drives away sorrows and sorrows. Together with him we receive spiritual comfort. Prayer for every good deed helps us not to fall into temptation and error. A person who does not fear God is displeasing to Him.

Important! You should not leave prayers for every day because of your own sins, thinking: “I am not worthy of God’s mercy.” The Lord will justify and protect the humble; did He not hear the publican or the harlot? He will also hear us, His unworthy servants. After all, our sin is like a drop in the ocean in comparison with the immense grace of Christ.

When to offer prayer?

Before an important task, we think about every detail, we want everything to work out well, without losses. However, this is impossible without God's help: Christ said that without him no one can do anything. In the life of every person, unforeseen situations happen that bring disappointment: losses, decreased income, misunderstandings with colleagues.

You need to ask God for help in all matters. For everything to work out, each working day must begin with a prayer appeal, and after completing the work, you must read a prayer of thanks.

Finding a job today is a rather difficult and exhausting process. Nowadays, even professionals in their field are faced with difficulties in finding a job. The prayer for the job to work out, read before the interview, is correct. Having received a blessing in this difficult task, we protect ourselves from despondency, unbelief, and loss of hope. The Lord wants to see our righteous works and the benefits we bring to people. Before starting a business, you need to think: will my activity be useful for society, what good will it bring? A prayer for any good deed will certainly be heard if a person tries not for his own benefit, but for the well-being of the country, as well as other people.

Prayer before starting work will help us calm down and collect our thoughts if we are starting our work in a new team, with new bosses, and rules unfamiliar to us. We need to think that if the Lord is with us, then it doesn’t matter who is against us. For everything to work out, we need to trust the Creator more; only He can arrange everything the way that is best for us. “Thy will be done,” we repeat these words every day, so let us believe them with all our hearts.

Who should I pray to?

Every Orthodox Christian needs to arm himself with prayers at the beginning of any undertaking, because our actions need blessing. Having secured the support of the Almighty Powers, before committing a good deed, you must forgive everyone’s offenses and sins, and also ask for forgiveness from those who were offended. If everything is done correctly, then our request will definitely be heard. But who still needs to pray, who is this Holy Grace that helps us all in our affairs?

The Lord Jesus Christ is our first Patron, Helper, we should never forget about Him. The Power of Grace helps people find a way out of the most difficult situations. You need to turn to the Lord with great reverence and a pure heart. This can be done by saying “Lord, bless!”, or you can read the text from the prayer book and then learn it by heart.

The Most Holy Theotokos is the patroness of all believers, she will come to the aid of everyone and ask for mercy from her Son. In life, Saint Mary was modest, hardworking, humble, so before working, you can ask for her blessing.

Prayers to a guardian angel before starting any business will help you avoid difficulties and the machinations of enemies. From the moment of our baptism, an angel guides us throughout our lives, he protects us from troubles, drives away the devil, protects us in difficult situations, and constantly prays to God for us. The brighter our angel becomes, the more prayers we offer to him. That is why we will constantly pray to him, read akathists, and glorify our Guardian. An angel helps us in everyday life, especially in spiritual works.

Nicholas the Wonderworker is the favorite saint of all Christians; he is revered even by people belonging to other religions. He does not leave anyone in need, he comes to the rescue at the first need, so prayers for the beginning of work will not go unheard. The holy saint will protect from failures and endow all those who ask with hard work, humility, and patience. Being absolutely simple-minded in life, he helped the poor a lot, so after receiving the long-awaited help, one should not forget about alms and thanksgiving.

Blessed Matrona of Moscow, who helps everyone who asks in business, and during her lifetime communicated a lot with the laity, listened to everyone without exception. Possessing the gift of insight, she saw all the sinful thoughts of people and guided them on the true path. Prayers to Matrona before an important task will help to avoid a bad outcome if the work is associated with any danger to health or life.

Prayer to Matrona of Moscow

The Holy Martyr Tryphon of Nicaea will help us in the most difficult situations, protect us from the machinations of crafty demons, and help us in sorrows. They pray to Tryphon for the granting of health of soul and body, for deliverance from illnesses and sorrows.

Worth knowing! In addition to prayers before starting work, every Christian should know the text of the prayer of thanksgiving at the end of work. Gratitude settled in the heart is the right path to salvation.

How to pray correctly?

The prophet David himself commanded that we work until evening, and the Apostle Paul argued that whoever does not work does not eat. You should begin your work day with prayers for the beginning of any business, and you should start work only after receiving a blessing. There are some tips that a Christian can use as he begins to comprehend all the Church Mysteries:

You need to communicate with God regularly, and not just when necessary. Be sure to read the prayer rule in the mornings and evenings, and offer prayer before and after meals. And, of course, don’t forget to ask for help before performing an important task.
The text of the prayer can be read, but it is better to learn it by heart. It's not as difficult as it seems at first glance. The main thing is to understand the meaning and feel it deeply.
Praying without understanding will bring no benefit. By mechanically repeating memorized words, we will not receive grace. A person must clearly understand what each word means. That is why it is better to turn to the translation into Russian; in addition, you can familiarize yourself with the interpretation and read the instructions of the Holy Fathers.
It is better to pronounce the words in a low voice, this will help you concentrate, and it will be much easier to remember the text. You need to distract yourself from extraneous thoughts, calm your soul, and only then begin a secret conversation.
Irritation, resentment, and other sins are barriers that prevent us from being heard. One should get rid of these feelings as often as possible; in addition, an Orthodox Christian should periodically confess and receive communion.

Conclusion

According to the testimonies of many believers, work goes much better after receiving a blessing. Hidden opportunities are revealed to us, and help arrives at the most difficult moments. Through prayers, we turn to the help of the Saints - guides of the Higher Power and, if our intentions are pure, a powerful stream of the Holy Spirit will certainly pour out on us.

All people do many different planned important and small things every day. But any event requires luck. Of course, the actions of each person are designed to make a profit and some kind of profit. Although the world is not without good people, as they say, so very often you can observe how people help those in need just like that, without any benefit.

But even such actions need God's blessing. Therefore, before starting any business and just for good luck, it is necessary to enlist the support of higher powers.

Jesus Christ
Matrona of Moscow

We all have important events in our lives, before which we ask God for help and intercession. Whether it’s a medical operation, solving a work issue, a business problem, or an upcoming exam, everything requires God’s intercession. Let's find out how to ask God for help, what should be done before an important event, how to read a prayer for good luck in business, and what should be done after our request has been fulfilled and the matter has been successfully completed?

What to do before an important event

In many ways, success in our future affairs is hampered by past and not always unfavorable affairs, with which we should come to terms. The best way of spiritual cleansing for an Orthodox Christian is to attend church services, the sacraments of confession and communion.

Many people mistrust the sacrament of confession, not understanding its meaning. During confession, we repent of our committed sins before God. The priest in the sacrament acts as a witness of our repentance and prays for the forgiveness of the sins of the confessor. What we have said moves away from us, and with prayer the burden of the past leaves our spirit. If this is the first confession in your life, try to talk with the priest before it in the format of a confidential conversation. He will answer your questions and tell you how to prepare for your first confession.

The sacrament of communion is the fundamental sacrament of the Russian Orthodox Church. During communion, a person becomes one with God, touching Him. At this moment, the Divine principle illuminates us, and at this moment we are renewed not only spiritually, but also physically.

We will definitely talk about the sacraments of the Church in the following articles, but now let’s return to the topic of our conversation - prayers before starting any good deed.

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).

The Great Litany

- Look, O lover of mankind, with your merciful eye on your servant (slave) name, who fall in faith to your compassion, and having heard their (his) prayers, bless their (his) good intention and work, and begin safely and hastily, apart from any obstacle, to glory accomplish yours, as we pray to the all-powerful king, hear and have mercy.

- In everything, promote everyone for the good, Lord, mercifully and thy servant named, hasten, O Savior, and hasten for the successful completion of their (his) work, bless, pray, Almighty Master, hear and have mercy.

- Assign your guardian angel to this cause, O gracious Lord, and remove all the obstacles of visible and invisible enemies, and create haste in everything for the successful completion of those who do it, we pray, most gracious Savior, hear and have mercy.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, accept our earnest prayer and bless the good intention and work of your servants (slave) to begin successfully, and to complete it without any obstacle to your glory. Make haste as a worker and correct the works of your hands, and hasten to accomplish them by the power of your Most Holy Spirit! For it is yours to have mercy and save us, our God, and we send up glory to you, with your beginningless Father, and your most holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

In order for the business to start, continue and end successfully, you need to pray to the Lord. There is a canonical prayer by Anthony of Optina “On the beginning of every business,” which reflects absolutely all petitions for beginning activities.

A bad thing, for example, a clever marketing ploy to attract customers in the eyes of God is unreasonable and harmful. It is also prohibited to produce products that are unsafe for the soul and body, such as tobacco, vodka and beer, synthetic, carcinogenic and simply dangerous food products. All this is listed in order to understand what is considered a godly deed and what is evil. You need to pray only for pious deeds that will benefit other people.

A good deed will bear fruit if you ask for God’s blessing. The Lord gives the blessing through a beautiful prayer composed by Saint Anthony of Optina Hermitage.

A blessing is also needed for God to give wisdom, inspiration and strength for many years. It is known that any business requires responsibility, ingenuity, a clear and correct decision. You definitely can’t do it without God’s help! After all, the Lord said: “Without Me you can do nothing,” which means “Without Me you can do nothing.”

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen.

Prayer at the end of the case

You are the fulfillment of all good things, O my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only One who is most merciful, O Lord, glory to You.

The life of a Christian is always filled with God. Prayer with Him is a conversation in which a person opens his heart and asks for help from the Heavenly Father. Priests advise doing this daily, morning and evening.

In addition, there is a prayer before the start of any undertaking, which is useful to read before the start of any undertaking. By reading it, a person invites the Creator to participate and bless the work of his hands.

Prayers before starting any good deed

How to pray before starting anything

Prayer before any undertaking does not guarantee 100% success, because God is a person, and not a rabbit’s foot worn for good luck. In His plans there may be a lesson for a person or a test, so some undertaking will not take place or will not be successful as the person intended. But in any case, asking for a blessing from the Creator to complete a deed, asking for a blessing for your hands is important and necessary for a true believer.

Advice! Orthodox people must always turn to the Holy Spirit; the words for this are written on the first pages of every printed prayer book. You can read them in the morning or before any specific work, or you can memorize them and say them to yourself always and everywhere.

You can do this briefly: “God bless!” or full text. Moreover, this will not only support the right attitude, but will also help convince oneself and others that a person is doing a godly deed.

For success you should say to yourself:

I am starting a right and godly work;
I asked the Father for help;
God will definitely help me, because I am doing the right and righteous thing.

In addition to positive motivation for yourself, these listings will help you be sure and look frankly at the work ahead - is it possible that the Father really wants it to be completed? It is clear that before the robbery these words will only show the illegality and sinfulness of the work.

Prayer to Our Lord
“Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen."

A Christian should always remember that his life does not belong to him, but only God is the King of everything, including his life. A person cannot control all events, but he can trust and ask Him for control over his life. After all, God's control means a long and blessed life, and a life that is completely controlled by man himself is usually filled with grief and disappointment.

Therefore, you should take a couple of minutes and think about the upcoming accomplishments, and if they do not contradict Scripture and God’s Will, then ask the Creator for help.

Prayer to the King of Heaven

Who can you pray to for the beginning of any business?

The host of Orthodox saints includes many people who suffered for Christ and are martyrs who, after death, intercede for people who still live on a sinful earth. Therefore, it is quite possible to ask them for help in some matter, so that they intercede before the Heavenly Father.

One of these saints is Nicholas the Wonderworker, to whom you can turn for help in doing any business. During his life, the elder did not refuse help to anyone and after death he helps. The prayer to him is simple and consists of a couple of lines, but its pronunciation will help a person find strength and courage for any achievement.

Prayer to Nicholas the Ugodnik
“Pleasant Nicholas, Protector and Savior. Grant me peace in vain affairs and do not be angry at a sinful request. Endow me with diligent hard work and protect me from hefty failures. Thy will be done. Amen."

Saint Matrona of Moscow is also known to all Orthodox Christians as a helper to every sufferer and an advisor to those who seek. People turn to her for help when they have to deal with something that in any way affects their health or life: a long journey, surgery, treatment, flight, etc.
