Morning prayer. Morning prayers for children

An Orthodox believer differs from worldly people in that in everyday life he keeps the commandments of God and remains in prayer. The prayer rule for beginners is to read certain appeals to the Almighty and the saints to acquire a closer knowledge of the Creator.

Why are rules needed?

Experienced Christians know them by heart, but every Orthodox person should have a “Prayer Book” filled with texts of proclamations not only for morning and evening, but for all occasions.

A prayer rule is a list of prayers. There is a general order of sacred reading for morning and evening. In each individual case, the spiritual mentor adjusts the prayer law, taking into account the degree of employment of the person, his place of residence and spiritual age.

Prayer Rule

Often, new believers rebel against reading texts written by saints in a language that is difficult to read. The prayer book was written on the basis of appeals to the Lord of people who accomplished the feat of faith, lived in purity and worship of Jesus Christ and were led by the Holy Spirit.

The first example, which became an integral part of the prayer rule for morning and evening prayers, was given to His followers by the Savior Himself. “Our Father” is the main proclamation with which Orthodox believers begin and end the day. Daily reading of the prayer book becomes a habit that fills the soul with God's wisdom.

About important church prayers:

The Church offers a prayer rule for beginners, so that the infant soul in Christianity grows in actions pleasing to the Creator.

A daily conversation with the Creator is a living communication, not an empty phrase. The boldness of communication with the almighty God involves speaking in the right words, in which there is no emptiness.

Important! By turning to the Almighty, the Orthodox are then filled with God's knowledge and His protection, when they leave vanity and are completely immersed in prayer.

How to behave correctly during prayer communication

Prayerful communication of all Orthodox Christians is performed standing; only elderly and sick people can sit. While reading the prayer book, in recognition of their sinfulness and imperfection, showing humility, people bow, some to the waist, while others bow to the ground.

Prayerful communication with God

Some Orthodox believers perform prayer communion while kneeling. The holy apostles opposed such worship, explaining that only slaves kneel; children do not need to do this. (Gal. 4:7) However, having committed some sin, it is not forbidden to stand on your knees in submission, begging for forgiveness.

About prayer rules:

• Schema nun Antonia's prayer rule for murdered babies

Beginning believers sometimes do not know how to correctly make the sign of the cross. The fingers of the right hand should be folded as follows:

• press the little finger and ring finger to the palm, they mean that Jesus was God and man at the same time;
• put the thumb, index and middle fingers together, three-fingered, as a symbol of the unity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

How to be baptized correctly

Drawing a cross in the air, touch the middle of the forehead with folded fingers, then lower the hand just below the navel, move to the right and then the left shoulder, only after this they bow.

A careless attitude to the sign of the cross, according to John Chrysostom, causes joy only among demons. The sign of the cross, performed with faith and reverence, is filled with God's grace and is a terrifying force for demonic attacks.

Before reading spiritual texts, you should try to free yourself from vain thoughts; this is sometimes difficult, so try to imagine the great sacrifice of Christ and your presence before Him in this world.

Never perform your prayers “for show”; in the spiritual world they will be an empty phrase. Delve into every word of the appeal to the Savior, filling yourself with His grace and love.

Prayer Rule - Law or Grace

Many novice Orthodox Christians are interested in the question: if prayer is a free appeal to the Creator, then why make it conform to the law.

In response to such an appeal, the Saratov abbot Pachomius clarifies that freedom and permissiveness should not be confused. The freedom of believers consists in the boldness of being before the throne of the Most High, which sinners and the unbaptized cannot afford. Permissiveness returns the believer to old life, and then returning to the grace of appeals to the Savior is much more difficult.

In the spiritual world there is no consensus regarding the duration and order of prayer before the Almighty. Some people remain in reverent worship for hours, while others cannot stand even half an hour.

Regular, constant spending time reading prayers will help you develop the habit of daily communication with the Creator, even if it’s 15 minutes in the evening.

Prayer Rule

First, you should purchase a “Prayer Book” and read it. Sometimes an Orthodox person understands that reading out of obligation turns into an empty habit; if this happens, then one can move on, as St. Theophan the Recluse did, to reading psalms and scriptures from the Bible.

The main thing is to be filled with worship of the Creator every day, to enter His presence, to feel His protection throughout the day. Evangelist Matthew wrote that to conquer the Kingdom of God you need to use force. (Matt. 11:12)

To help the beginning prayer book

There are three prayer lists for Orthodox believers.

1. The complete prayer rule is designed for spiritually persistent believers, which include monks and clergy.
2. The prayer rule for all laity consists of a list of prayers read in the morning and evening; a list of them can be found in the “Prayer Book”:

• in the morning: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Virgin Mother of God”, “Rising from sleep”, “Have mercy on me, O God”, “I Believe”, “God, cleanse”, “To You, Master”, “ Holy Angel”, “Most Holy Lady”, invocation of saints, prayer for the living and the dead;
• in the evening: “Heavenly King”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Have mercy on us, Lord”, “Eternal God”, “Good King”, “Angel of Christ”, from “The Chosen Governor” to “It is worthy to eat”.

Seraphim of Sarov proposed another short prayer rule for those laity who, for some reason, are limited in time or are in unpredictable circumstances.

Icon of Seraphim of Sarov

It consists of reading each prayer three times:

• "Our Father";
• “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice”;
• "I believe."

Particular attention should be paid to reading spiritual appeals to the Almighty Creator and Savior during the period of fasting, before receiving the Sacrament of Communion and in the hour of difficult life trials.

Advice! God's mercy accompanies those who began communicating with God in the morning, before breakfast, and ended by reading spiritual texts before dinner.

Moral preparation for worship

For a beginning Orthodox believer, it is advisable to purchase a “Prayer Book” in modern Russian, so that while reading what is written, delve into every word, filling it with strength and grace, and receive instruction and support.

This is the advice of Nicodemus the Holy Mountain, which points out the importance of understanding every word of the text being read. Over time, many texts are stored in memory and read by heart.

Before reading the Prayer Book, you should ask the Holy Spirit to show whether there are any remnants of resentment, bitterness or irritation in your heart. Mentally forgive all offenders and ask for forgiveness from those who were treated unfairly, this is how the Orthodox pray.

According to Tikhon of Zadonsk, all negativism should be abandoned, for, as Gregory of Nyssa wrote, the Creator is Kind, Righteous, Patient, Lover of Humanity, Kind-hearted, Merciful, the goal of the prayer rule is to be transformed into the image of the Creator, to acquire all the qualities for philanthropy.

Reading prayers at home

Jesus Christ taught to communicate with Him to go into your prayer room, closing the doors from the outside world. Every Orthodox family has a corner with icons, although it is increasingly rare to see an icon lamp there.

Red corner in the house

Before starting to worship God, you should light a candle; it is advisable to purchase it in the temple. In a family, and this is a prototype of the church, there are rules for who prays in solitude, and some prefer to do it together, because the intense prayer of a righteous person can do a lot. (James 5:16)

Theophan the Recluse, who spent a lot of time worshiping God, writes that there is no need to rush when starting to pray. Having made the sign of the cross and bowed, you should be silent for a moment, entering a state of worship and reverence before God. Every word of prayer must come from the heart; it must not only be understood, but also felt.

Reading "Our Father";

• give praise to the Creator who is in Heaven;
• submit your life to His will;
• truly forgive the debts and misdeeds of other people, for these are prerequisites for God to forgive each of the Orthodox;
• ask Him for mercy in solving all material problems with the words “give us this day our daily bread”;
• Declare the power of God in your life and His covering over you and your family.

If, while reading the “Prayer Book,” a desire appears in your heart to ask God for some need, do not put it off until later, but immediately bring it before the prayer throne of the Almighty.

The Lord teaches His children to be constant and persistent in prayer through the example of a poor widow (Luke 18:2-6); no petition will remain unanswered by Him. It is very important when communicating with the Savior to put aside all haste; only through a meaningful appeal can one reach God.

On the advice of Bishop Anthony, in order not to be distracted by time limits, you should wind the clock so that the bell rings at the right moment. It doesn’t matter how long the prayer rule lasts and how many prayers are read, the main thing is that they are completely dedicated to God.

Saint Ignatius calls regular prayers hard work for sinners, while the righteous experience pleasure from communion with the saints and the Trinity.

If thoughts “run away”, there is no need to rush, you should return to where you began the absent-minded reading of the spiritual proclamation and start all over again. Helps you focus on readable text pronouncing all appeals out loud. It is not without reason that they say that prayers read silently are heard by God, but prayers spoken out loud are heard by demons.

Silouan of Athos noted that God does not hear words spoken in empty thoughts and worldly affairs.

Silouan of Athos

The spirit of prayer is strengthened by regularity, just as the body of an athlete is strengthened by training. Having finished your prayer, do not immediately “pounce” on worldly vain affairs, give yourself a few more minutes of being in God’s grace.

Is it necessary to read a prayer book during the day?

Once having dedicated their lives to the Lord, Orthodox people are under His protection all their lives.

Throughout your busy day, you should not forget to invoke the Father’s mercy with the words “Bless, God!” Having passed through a test, receiving a reward or blessing, having done a successful job, do not forget to give all the glory to the Creator with the words “Glory to you, my God!” When you get into trouble, when you are sick or in danger, cry out: “Save me, God!” and He will hear. We must not forget about thanking the Lord for everything that has been sent down from above.

Before eating, one should not forget to thank the Creator for the given food and ask for His blessing to accept it.

By constantly being in prayer, having acquired the habit of crying out at any second, thanking, asking, repenting before God with all your heart, and not with empty words, an Orthodox person becomes God-thinking. God-thinking helps to understand the goodness of the Creator, the existence of the Heavenly Kingdom and brings Orthodox Christians closer to God.

Video about fulfilling the prayer rule

The importance of morning prayers for novice believers is comparable to a warrior entering the battlefield to fight the enemy. Morning prayer in this comparison plays the role of reliable armor that protects the souls of the Orthodox from the worst enemy and temptations.

The Church has given us an invaluable gift - the opportunity to speak with God through prayer. Therefore, everyone who has decided to choose the path to the Lord should begin their day with a short morning prayer.

Many Christians memorize texts, but first you can use the “Prayer Book,” which contains the texts of morning prayers for beginners.

For example, “Our Father” must be read both in the morning and in the evening. This appeal to our Lord illuminates our day, inspires faith in us and illuminates the path.

The main thing is to completely immerse yourself in the meaning of the words of the prayer, forget about vain hopes and vanity, remain alone with our Lord and pour out your soul to him. It is necessary to pray while standing; only the infirm and the elderly can sit. If you come to Church to repent, then morning prayers can be performed alternating prostrations or kneeling.

And now enlighten my mental eyes, open my lips, to learn Thy words, and to understand Thy commandments, and to do Thy will, and to sing to Thee in heartfelt confession, and to sing Thy all-holy name, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages. centuries.

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Symbol of faith

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God,

Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to 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. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.

And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

Yes, I will open my unworthy lips without condemnation

and I will praise Your holy name,

Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now

and ever and ever, Amen.

Prayer of the same saint

and I strive for Your works with Your mercy, and I pray to You:

help me at all times, in every thing,

and deliver me from all worldly evil things and the devil’s haste,

and save me and bring me into Your eternal Kingdom.

For You are my Creator and the Provider and Giver of every good thing, and all my hope is in You,

and I send glory to You, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy Angel, standing before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, nor depart from me for my intemperance. Do not give room to the evil demon to possess me through the violence of this mortal body;

With Your saints and all-powerful prayers, take away from me, Your humble and accursed servant,

despondency, oblivion, foolishness, negligence, and all the nasty, evil and blasphemous thoughts from my damned heart and from my darkened mind;

and extinguish the flame of my passions, for I am poor and damned.

And deliver me from many and fierce memories and enterprises,

and free me from all evil actions.

For you are blessed from all generations,

and glorified is Your most honorable name forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for the living

Save, Lord, and have mercy

my spiritual father (name),

Among the many amazing books by Bernard Werber, The Tree of the Possible occupies a special place.

...if a huge stinking meteorite falls into the center of Paris,

...if aliens breed us like pets,

...if it turns out that trees are intelligent, thinking creatures,

...if your own hand rebels against you...

It turns out that the future is a completely controllable element, subject to us, but we need to think about it in advance...

Bernard Werber
The Tree of Possibility and Other Stories

Dedicated to Titian

Preface

When I was little, my father always told me a story at night.

And then I saw her in a dream.

Every time the world seemed too complicated, I made up a fairy tale that contained a little of my troubles. This brought immediate relief.

At school, children asked me to write stories for them. Often these stories began with the words: “He opened the door and froze.”

Over time, the stories became more and more incredible. Then it turned into a game with the only rule - find a problem and then find an unusual solution to it.

When I wrote my first novel, in order not to forget how to quickly come up with fairy tales, I spent one hour in the evening writing stories. So I took a break from the morning labors devoted to the creation of “serious novels.”

The plot for the short story was born from observations during a walk, from conversations with a friend, from dreams, from sorrows that I wanted to get rid of by moving them into a story.

The Mystery of Numbers was inspired by a conversation with my little nephew, who told me that in his class there was a hierarchy that divided students into those who could count to ten and those who could count further.

The idea for “Blackness” came to me when I saw an overly caring passerby trying to get an old man across the road who didn’t need it at all.

"The Last Riot" was written after visiting a nursing home.

"The Silent Friend" - after a conversation with Professor Gerard Amzallag, a biologist who studies various forms of life. The scientific discovery described in the novel is little known, but completely real.

Some details from "Let's Learn to Love Them" will be included in the play, which is called "Our Human Friends."

It has always been interesting to me, when talking about us humans, to take the point of view of beings different from us. This is an inexhaustible source of thought. I have already used the "exotic view of humanity" technique in "Ants", where my hero, number 103, tries to understand human behavior by watching the news on TV, and in "Empire of Angels", where Michel Panson observes mortals from heaven and with bitterness makes sure that they are trying to "reduce their misfortunes instead of building happiness."

Ants and angels: two points of view on a person - from infinitely “low” to infinitely “high”. This book will have an infinitely “different” point of view.

The Tree of Possibility is an invention I've been dreaming about ever since I lost to the computer at chess. If a bunch of pieces of iron are capable of foreseeing any possible options for the development of the party, why not put into it the entire body of human knowledge, all the hypotheses of the future, so that it will produce possible options for the development of our society for a short, medium and long period of time.

"School for Young Gods" is a draft of a future novel that continues "Empire of Angels." Its problems are the upbringing and daily life of one of the gods who govern us.

These short stories will help the reader understand how my novels are born.

Each story is an assumption taken to its logical conclusion. What will happen if you launch a rocket into the Sun, if a meteorite falls into the Luxembourg Gardens, if a person’s skin becomes transparent...

I would like to tell these stories in your ear.

Let's learn to love them

As a child, each of us had entertainment - people at home. They sat in a cage, spun tirelessly in a wheel, or lived in an aquarium with a beautiful artificial landscape.

However, in addition to tame people, there are also wild ones. They are nothing like the ones that live in our gutters and attics, multiplying quickly and forcing us to use humanicides.

Not long ago, a planet was discovered where wild people live, without even knowing about our existence. This strange place is located near Kosmostrada 33. Wild people live together. They have created large nests, know how to use tools, and even have a communication system based on a characteristic squeak. There are many legends about this planet where wild creatures live. They say that they have bombs that can destroy the entire planet and that they use pieces of paper instead of money. Some say that they eat each other and build cities at the bottom of the sea. To separate fact from fiction, our government, since 12008 (as part of the "Don't Kill Them Without Trying To Understand" program), has sent researchers to this planet to study wild people while remaining invisible to them. We present the results of these little-known studies in this article. Here's her plan:

Wild human beings in natural environment a habitat.

Their customs and method of reproduction.

How to care for them at home.

Wild human creatures in natural habitat

1. Where can you meet wild people?

Human beings are found almost everywhere in our galaxies, but the only place where they have been able to develop independently is the Earth. Where is this planet located? When going on vacation, you often wonder how to avoid big space traffic jams. Take Kosmostrada 33, perhaps longer, but less crowded. Pull over near road number 707 and you will see a yellowish, dim galaxy. Park your interplanetary car and approach.

On the left side of this galaxy you will notice a rather old and shabby solar system, where Earth is the only planet with signs of life.

The earth is surrounded by white steam, its surface has a bluish tint. This is explained by the large amount of oxygen, hydrogen and carbon in its atmosphere.

2. How to recognize them?

Take a magnifying glass and look at the savage: thick hair on the top of his head, pink, white or brown skin, paws with many toes. When walking, people maintain balance on their hind legs, with their butts slightly protruding. They breathe (mainly oxygen) through two small holes, and through the other two they perceive sounds. Two more holes serve to capture vibrations of light waves. (Craig's experiment: if a person is blindfolded, he will start to stumble.) Humans do not have a radar system that allows them to navigate in the dark, which explains their weaker nighttime activity compared to daytime. (Brons' experiment: put a person in a box and close the lid. After a short period of time, the person begins to emit a desperate squeak. People are afraid of the dark.)

3. How to find people on Earth?

There are many ways to detect them. First of all, these are lights at night and smoke during the day. When you land your interplanetary vehicle, you will notice their trails - large black lines.

Sometimes in the forest you can meet people-tourists, or people-peasants, or people-scouts.

There are many subspecies of humans on Earth: aquatic people with black flipper-like legs, flying people with a large triangular wing on their back, smoking people who constantly release steam from their mouths.

4. How to approach them?

Troparion, ch. 2
The path and truth, O Christ, of Thy Angel's companion Thy servant, like Tobias, sometimes ate, preserving and unharmed, to Thy glory, from all evil in all well-being, through the prayers of the Mother of God, the only Lover of Mankind.

Kontakion, ch. 2
You traveled to the Moon and Cleopas in Emmaus, Savior, and now descend upon Your servants who want to travel, delivering them from every evil situation; You, as a Lover of Mankind, can do everything you want.

Prayer to someone who wants to set off on a journey
O God, our God, the true and living way, traveling with Your servant Joseph, travel, O Master, and Thy servant (name), and deliver from all turbulence and slander, and establish peace and good fortune; do all righteous dispensations according to Thy commandments, and was filled with worldly and heavenly blessings, so that she would be pleased to return. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, of the Father and the Son and
The Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer before setting sail
Master Lord Jesus Christ, our God, who sailed with His Holy disciples and Apostles, calmed the stormy wind and calmed the waves on the sea with His command! You, Lord, accompany us on the voyage, calm every stormy wind and be a Helper and Intercessor, for You are a good God and loving people and we bring praise to You, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer before departure on air travel
Lord Jesus Christ our God, command the elements and contain the whole handful, whose deeps tremble and whose stars are present. All creation serves You, all listen to You, all obey You.
You can do everything: for this reason, you are all merciful, most gracious Lord. So even now, Master, accepting the warm prayers of these Thy servants (names), bless their path and the air procession, forbidding storms and contrary winds and keeping the air flown safe and sound. Granting them a saving and gentle journey through the air, and a good intention for those who have committed them, they will happily return in health and in peace. You are the Savior and Deliverer and the giver of all good things, heavenly and earthly, and we send glory to You with Your beginningless Father and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer during rainlessness (drought)
creation of Callistus, Patriarch of Constantinople)
Master, Lord our God, who listened to Elijah the Tishbite for the sake of zeal for You, and during the rain that was sent to the earth, to withhold your command, and also through His prayer He gave fruitful rain to it: You, Lord of all, from Your very compassion we diminish, freely give rain to Your inheritance, and the sinner having despised us, Thy rains fell upon the demanding and begging places: make glad the face of the earth, the poor for the sake of Thy people, and infants and livestock, and all others who are beseeching you to give them food for their good time. For You are our God, the God of mercy and grace, and to You we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever
centuries. Amen.

During dry periods (continuous rains)
Master, Lord our God, who was of old the zealot Elijah, Thy prophet, listened to the prayer, and was willing to hold back the rain for a while: and now, the creative and merciful Lord, look upon us, your humble and unworthy servants, humble prayers, and as generously despise our sins, and having been begged by Your love for mankind, give a bucket to Your heritage, and enlighten the sun on the mercies that require and ask from You: make glad the face of the earth of the poor for the sake of Your people, the baby and the cattle and all other animals, which You satisfy with Your favor, and give them food for their good. Hey, Lord our God, do not in vain reject our prayer, nor disgrace us with our despair, but spare us by Thy mercy, and visit us with Thy bounties, for our days will disappear in vain, and our belly will become impoverished in illness. For the sake of our iniquities, do not destroy us by the image of Your indignation and wrath; but deal with us according to Your quietness, and according to the abundance of Your mercy. Behold, with a contrite soul and a humble spirit we fall before You, and as slaves of indecency, and even more worthy of greater punishment, we cry out to You in repentance with tenderness: we have sinned and are lawless and transgressed in everything, and have transgressed Your commandments, and for this reason everything that You have brought upon us , inflict truth and judgment: but not to the end of corruption, but give us over to famine and destruction, let a storm of water drown us below: but in anger, remember mercy, and for the sake of the tuna of Your bounties, have mercy, and have mercy on Your creation and the work of Your hands, for they are good. , and quickly deliver from all evil. For it is Thine to have mercy and to save us, our God, and to Thee we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to stop (calm) thunder and lightning
Again from You, Lord, Lover of Mankind, teaching, again the prayers of unworthy servants, who know that no matter how great (there were) the multitude of sins, but (the same number) exceeds them, Your unforgettable mercy! That is why we pray to You: turn away Your mighty evil from us, so that You will not be angry with us forever, but by Your mercy you will revive us with Your bounties. Lord our God, who sends thunder and stops lightning and does everything for the preservation of Your creations! Look down according to Your love for mankind and deliver us from all sorrow, anger and need and real intimidation, for You, O Lord, warmed us from heaven and multiplied the lightning and frightened us. Dear Lord! We resort to You, stop Your attacks and send Your rich mercies upon us and have mercy on Your servants, as a good and philanthropic one, may not the fire of Your anger burn us and may not the power of Your lightning and thunder destroy us, but according to Your characteristic mercy, calm down Your attacks and create silence in the air and cut through the surrounding darkness with the sun's rays and make the clouds calm. For You are a merciful, generous and loving God, and to You we offer praise to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer for the cessation of strong winds, sea storms and rough waters
Sovereign Lord our God! By your hypostatic and eternal Word and your life-giving and equal Spirit, you created everything that exists out of nothing: you laid sand as the border of the sea, you put mountains and valleys in order, you measured the inch of the sky, you contained the dust of the earth in measure, you gave measure to everything visible, invisible and sensible, and order, boundaries and connections and arrangement.

Christ Jesus, Lord and Almighty! In contrition and tenderness of my heart, I pray to You: rest, O Lord, the soul of Your departed servant (name) in Your heavenly kingdom. Lord Almighty!
You blessed the marital union of husband and wife, when you said: it is not good for man to be alone; let us create for him a helper according to him. You have sanctified this union in the image of the spiritual union of Christ with the Church. By faith, O Lord, I confess that You have blessed me to unite me in this holy union with one of Your handmaids. Your good and wise will deigned to take away from me this servant of Yours, whom You gave to me as a helper and companion of my life. I bow before Thy will, and I pray to Thy with all my heart, accept this prayer for Thy servant (name), and forgive her if she has sinned in word, deed, thought, knowledge and ignorance; If you love earthly things more than heavenly things, if you care about the clothing and adornment of your body more than about the enlightenment of the clothing of your soul, or if you are careless about your children; if you upset anyone by word or deed; If there is a grudge in your heart against your neighbor or condemn someone or anything else you have done from such evil people. Forgive her all this, for she is good and philanthropic; for there is no man who will live and not sin.
Do not enter into judgment with Thy servant, as Thy creation, do not condemn her to eternal torment for her sin, but have mercy and mercy according to Thy great mercy. I pray and ask You, Lord, to grant me the strength throughout the days of my life to not cease to pray for Your departed servant, and even until the end of my life to ask her from You, the Judge of the whole world, for forgiveness of her sins.

Widow's prayer for her husband
Christ Jesus, Lord and Almighty! You are the comfort of the crying, the orphans and the widows. You said: call on Me in the day of your sorrow, and I will destroy you. In the days of my sorrow, I run to You and pray to You: do not turn Your face away from me and hear my prayer brought to You with tears. You, Lord, Master of all, have deigned to unite me with one of Your servants, so that we may be one body and one spirit; You gave me this servant as a companion and protector. It was your good and wise will to take away this servant of yours from me and leave me alone. I bow before Your will and I resort to You in the days of my sorrow: quench my sorrow about separation from Your servant, my friend. Even if you took him away from me, do not take your mercy away from me. Just as you once accepted two mites from widows, so accept this prayer of mine.

For even if you sin, do not depart from You, and undoubtedly the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are Orthodox even until your last breath of confession; impute to him the same faith, even in You, instead of works: for there is no man who will live and not sin, You are the only one besides sin, and Your righteousness is righteousness forever. I believe, Lord, and confess that You have heard my prayer and have not turned Your face away from me. Seeing a widow weeping green, you were merciful, and you brought her son to the grave, carrying her to the grave, and you raised her up: so, having compassion, calm down my sorrow. How did You open to Your servant Theophilus, who went to You, the doors of Your mercy and forgave him for his sins through the prayers of Your Holy Church, heeding the prayers and alms of his wife: by strength and I pray to You, accept my prayer for Your servant (name) and lead him into eternal life. For You are our hope, You are God, to have mercy and to save, and to You we ascribe glory with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
