Eternal God and the King of all created things, who made me live until this hour!
Forgive me the sins that I committed on this day in deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my humble soul from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. And give me, Lord, to spend this night in a peaceful sleep, so that, rising from my humble bed, I will please Your holy name all the days of my life and defeat the enemies that attack me - carnal and incorporeal.
And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and vicious desires. For Yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen

Second Prayer of Saint Antiochus to our Lord Jesus Christ

Almighty, Word of the Father, Jesus Christ! Being Himself perfect, in Your great mercy, never leave me, Your servant, but always abide in me. Jesus, good Shepherd of Your sheep, do not give me over to the rebellion of the serpent and do not leave me to the will of Satan, for the seed of destruction is in me. But you, Lord God, accepting worship from all, Holy King Jesus Christ, preserve me during my sleep with an unfading light, by Your Holy Spirit, with which You sanctified Your disciples. Grant, Lord, to me, Your unworthy servant, Your salvation on my bed: enlighten my mind with the light of holy understanding Your gospel, my soul with love for Your Cross, my heart with the purity of Your word, my body with Your passionless suffering, save my thought with Your humility.

Prayer three, to the Holy Spirit

Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, have mercy and have mercy on me, Your sinful servant, and let me go unworthy, and forgive everything in which I have sinned against You today as a man, moreover, not only as a man, but even worse cattle: my free sins and involuntary, known and unknown; those from youth and evil habits, and those from irascibility and carelessness. But if I have sworn by Your name or blasphemed him in my mind; or whom I reproached, or slandered whom in my anger, or saddened, or irritated by something; either he lied, or he didn't sleep at the right time, or a beggar came to me, and I despised him; or made my brother sad, or entered into a quarrel; or whom he condemned, or boasted, or became proud, or became angry; or, when I stood in prayer, my mind was carried away by the seduction of this world; or had impure thoughts; or ate too much, or got drunk, or laughed foolishly; either he thought evil, or, seeing someone else's beauty, he was wounded by it in his heart; or obscene spoken; or laughed at my brother's sin, while my sins are countless; or was negligent in prayer; or, having done something else evil, I do not remember - for all this and more than this I have done! Have mercy on me, my Creator, Lord, your dull and unworthy servant, and leave, and let go, and forgive me, as a good and philanthropist, may I lie down in peace, sleep and rest, I, prodigal, sinful and unhappy, and bow down and sing And I will glorify Your most honored name with the Father and His Only Begotten Son, now, and always, and forever. Amen.

Fourth Prayer of Saint Macarius the Great

What shall I bring to Thee or what shall I repay Thee, rich in gifts, immortal King, merciful and philanthropic Lord, for bringing me, lazy to serve Thee and doing nothing good, to the end of this past day, directing my soul to conversion and salvation? Be merciful to me, a sinner and deprived of any good deed, raise up my fallen soul, defiled in immeasurable sins, and remove from me all the evil thoughts of this visible life. Forgive me, the Only Sinless One, my sins, with which I have sinned against You this day knowingly and out of ignorance, in word and deed, and thought, and all my feelings.

Give me, having risen from sleep, to learn from Your word, and through Your Angels drive the demonic despondency far away from me! May I bless your holy name and glorify and glorify the Most Pure Theotokos Mary, whom you gave to us sinners for protection, and hear her praying for us; for I know that She imitates Your philanthropy and does not cease to pray.

Prayer 9, to the Most Holy Theotokos, Peter the Studion

To You, the Most Pure Mother of God, I, unhappy, fall down and pray: You know, Queen, that I constantly sin and anger Your Son and my God, and, although I repeatedly repent, I turn out to be a deceiver before God. I repent, trembling, whether the Lord will strike me already, and soon I do the same again! I pray that You, my Lady, the Lady Mother of God, knowing this, have mercy, strengthen and teach me to do good. For You know, O my Lady Theotokos, that I strongly hate my evil deeds and with all my mind I love the law of my God; but I don’t know, Madam Most Pure, why I love what I hate, but I don’t do good. Do not allow, Most Pure One, to fulfill my will, for it is evil, but may the will of Your Son and my God be done, may it save me, and enlighten and give the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I will stop doing bad things, and the rest of the time I would live according to the commandments Your Son, to whom all glory, honor and power are due with His Father without beginning, and His most holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

Vladyka Lover of mankind, will this bed be a coffin for me, or will you illuminate my unfortunate soul with the light of day? Behold, the coffin is before me, behold, death awaits me. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil. You, Lord and my God, I always anger, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all Heavenly Forces and the holy angel my guardian. I know, Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, whether I want to or not, save me. After all, if you save the righteous, there is nothing great in this, and if you have mercy on the pure, there is nothing wonderful in that - for they are worthy of Your mercy. But on me, a sinner, show Thy wondrous mercy, in that manifest Thy philanthropy, may my malice not overcome Thy unspeakable goodness and mercy, and as You wish, do with me.

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Thy great mercy, and according to the multitude of Thy mercies, cleanse my iniquities. Wash me from all my iniquities, and cleanse me from my sin. For I know my iniquities, and my sin is always before me. I have sinned against You alone, and I have done evil before You, so that You are right in Your judgment and just in Your judgment. From my very birth I am guilty before You; I am a sinner from my conception in my mother's womb. But You love the sincere in heart and reveal to them the secrets of wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop and I will be clean; wash me and I will be whiter than snow. Return joy and gladness to my soul, and my bones, broken by Thee, will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in me. Cast me not away from Your presence, and take not Your Holy Spirit from me. Give me back the joy of Thy salvation, and by Thy Sovereign Spirit confirm me. I will teach the transgressors Your ways, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from premature death, O God, God my salvation, and my tongue will praise Your righteousness. God! Open my mouth, and my mouth will proclaim Your praise. For you do not desire sacrifice—I would give it—and you do not delight in burnt offerings. Sacrifice to God is a contrite spirit; God will not despise the heart of the contrite and humble. Renew Zion, O God, by Thy mercy; raise up the walls of Jerusalem. Then righteous sacrifices will please Thee; then they will offer sacrifices to you on your altar.

Symbol of faith

I believe in one God the Father, the Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, the visible and the invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, begotten from the Father before the beginning of time; Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, through whom all things were created.

For us for the sake of people and for our sake of salvation, he descended from heaven and was incarnated from the Holy Spirit and Mary the Virgin, and became a man. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried, and rose again on the third day, as the Scriptures foretold. And ascended into heaven and reigns with the Father. And coming again in glory to judge 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, with the Father and the Son equally worshiped and glorified, who spoke through the prophets.

Into a single Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

Prayer 8? I, to our Lord Jesus Christ

Many-merciful and all-merciful my God, Lord Jesus Christ! Out of great love You came down and incarnated to save all people: I pray You, Savior, save me also by Your grace. If you could save me for deeds, then it would not be your gift and grace-filled love. O inexhaustible generous and inexpressibly merciful! You said, Christ and my Lord: "He who believes in me has eternal life." If faith in You saves those who perish, behold, I believe! Save me! For You are my God and Creator. My faith, instead of works, be credited to me, my God, for you will not find works that justify me. But let my faith be in place of all the deeds that I have not done, let it answer, let it justify me, let it make me a participant in Your eternal glory. May Satan not steal me away, may he not boast that he has torn me away from Your hand and protection. But whether I want to or not, save me, Christ, my Savior, quickly, send me Your help, so that I will not perish: for You are my God from my mother's womb. Vouchsafe me, Lord, now to love You, as I used to love those sins that I sinned against You, and to work for You without laziness, as before I worked for Satan, a deceiver and a deceiver. May I work for You, Lord and my God Jesus Christ, all the days of my life, now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

Eternal God and King of all creatures, who let me live until this hour.

And give me, Lord, on this night a peaceful sleep, so that, having risen from my humble bed, I would please Your most holy name all the days of my life and defeat the enemies of the flesh and incorporeal who rise up against me.

Almighty, Word of the Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, You Yourself, being perfect, according to Your great mercy, never leave me, Your servant, but always abide in me. Jesus, good Shepherd of Your sheep, do not allow demonic rebellion in me and do not let satanic desires possess me: for the seed of destruction is in me. You, Lord God, whom we worship, Holy King, Jesus Christ, save me sleeping with unfading light, by Your Holy Spirit, with which You sanctified Your disciples. Give, Lord, to me, Your unworthy servant, Your salvation on my bed: enlighten my mind with the light of the mind of Your holy Gospel, soul with the love of Your Cross, heart with the purity of Your word, my body with Your all-conquering suffering, save my thought with Your humility, and lift up me at the proper time to praise You.

Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, have mercy and have mercy on me, Your sinful servant, and release me, unworthy, and forgive everything in which I have sinned today as a man, and not even as a man, but worse than cattle: my free sins and involuntary, known to me and unknown; through inexperience or malice, through temper or frivolity. If I swore by Your name, or blasphemed him in my thoughts; or whom I ridiculed, or slandered whom in my anger, or saddened, or angry, or lied, or did not sleep at the right time; or despised a beggar who turned to me, or grieved my brother, or boasted, or became proud, or became angry; or during prayer my mind rushed to ungodly worldly thoughts; or indulged in prodigal thoughts; or overeating or getting drunk or laughing foolishly; or he plotted evil, or at the sight of someone else's good he envied his heart; or obscenities spoken; or laughed at the sin of my brother, but my sins are without number; or did not care about prayer; or did something else evil - I don’t remember, because I did all this and more. Have mercy on me, my Creator and Master, your dull and unworthy servant; and leave me, and let go, and forgive me, for You are good and philanthropic; Yes, I will lie down in peace, sleep and rest, prodigal, sinful and accursed, and bow, and sing, and glorify Your most honorable name, with the Father and His only-begotten Son, now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer 4? I, St. Macarius the Great

What will I bring to You or what will I reward You, the Immortal King, rich in gifts, the generous and philanthropic Lord, because I, lazy to serve You and did nothing good, brought me to the end of this past day, directing my soul to conversion and salvation. Be merciful to me, a sinner and deprived of any good deed, resurrect my fallen soul, defiled in immeasurable sins. Remove from me all the evil thoughts of this visible life. Forgive my sins, the only Sinless One, with which I have sinned against You on this day, in knowledge and ignorance, in word and deed and thought, and with all my feelings. You yourself protect and save me from any attack of the enemy by Your Divine power and immeasurable philanthropy and strength. Cleanse, O God, cleanse the multitude of my sins. Delight, Lord, to deliver me from the snares of evil, and save my restless soul, and illuminate me with the light of Your face when You come in glory, and now let me sleep without condemnation, and without dreams and embarrassment, keep the thoughts of Your servant, and all satanic deeds drive away from me, and enlighten the intelligent eyes of my heart, so that I will not fall asleep in death. And send me a peaceful angel, guardian and mentor of my soul and body, and deliver me from my enemies; so that, having risen from my bed, I will bring you prayers of thanksgiving. Hey, Lord, hear me, a sinful and poor servant of Yours, give me, having risen from sleep, to learn Your words with will and conscience, and through Your angels, drive away demonic despondency from me: may I bless Your holy name, and glorify and glorify the Most Pure Mother of God Mary which You gave us, sinners, for protection, and hear Her praying for us, for I know that She follows Your philanthropy and does not stop praying. Her intercession and the sign of the Holy Cross, and for the sake of all Your saints, save my poor soul, Jesus Christ, our God, for You are Holy and glorified forever. Amen.

My Lord, my consolation, You have clothed yourself in corruptible flesh for the sake of me, damned, tear me out of damnation, and give consolation to my damned soul.

To Thee, the Most Pure Mother of God, I fall down, cursed, and pray: you know, Queen, that I constantly sin and anger Your Son and my God, and although I repent many times, I turn out to be lying before God, and I repent, trembling: will the Lord really strike me? And then I do the same again. You know all this, my Lady, Lady Mother of God, and I pray: have mercy, strengthen and grant me to do good. You know, my Lady Mother of God, that I hate my evil deeds, and with all my thoughts I love the law of my God; but I don’t know, Lady Most Pure, why I love what I hate, but I don’t do good. Do not let, Most Pure One, fulfill my will, for it is evil, but may the will of Your Son and My God be done for everything; may he save me and enlighten me, and give me the grace of the Holy Spirit, so that from now on I would stop my bad deeds, and in the future I would live according to the commandments of Your Son, and all glory, honor and power are due to Him with His Beginningless Father, and His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit now, and always, and forever and ever.

Kontakion to the Theotokos

Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

Vladyka Lover of mankind, will this bed be a coffin for me, or will you illuminate my unfortunate soul in the daytime? Here is my coffin, here is my death. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil. I always anger you, the Lord and my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the Heavenly Powers, and my holy guardian angel. I know, Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, whether I want to or not, save me. After all, if you save the righteous, there is nothing great in it. And if you have mercy on the pure, there is nothing marvelous in this - they are worthy of Your mercy. But on me, a sinner, show Thy wondrous mercy and manifest Thy philanthropy, so that my malice will not overcome Thy immeasurable goodness and mercy, and whatever You want, do with me.

Revive and strengthen me, O Christ God, lest I fall asleep in the sleep of death, lest my enemy say that he has defeated me.

Glory: Be the intercessor of my soul, O God, for I walk in the midst of many snares, deliver me from them and save me, Good and Lover of mankind.

And now: The Most Glorious Mother of God, surpassing the holy angels in holiness, we incessantly sing with heart and mouth, confessing Her Theotokos, who truly gave birth to God incarnate to us, and praying unceasingly for our souls.

Mark yourself with the cross and say a prayer to the Holy Cross

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His face. As smoke disappears, let them disappear, as wax melts before the fire, so let the demons perish on behalf of those who love God, and overshadow themselves with the sign of the cross, and exclaim with joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross Lord, driving away demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified on you, who descended into hell and destroyed the power of the devil, and gave us His Holy Cross to repulse any adversary. O Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, help me with the Holy Lady of the Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever, amen.

Or briefly:

Protect me, Lord, by the power of Your Honorable and Life-Giving Cross and save me from all evil.

What are the types of prayer?

Prayers can be conditionally divided into pleading, thanksgiving, penitential and doxology.

How is prayer different from conspiracy?

Fruits of prayer.

“The fruits of sincere prayer are: simplicity, love, humility, patience, gentleness, and the like. All this, even before eternal fruit, bears fruit here in the life of the diligent.” Saint Gregory of Nyssa

“The fruits of true prayer: a bright world of the soul, combined with a quiet, silent joy, alien to daydreaming, conceit and heated impulses and movements; love for one's neighbor, not separating the good from the bad for love... but interceding for all before God as for oneself." Bishop Ignatius (Bryanchaninov)

What are the causes of absent-mindedness and temptations in prayer?

“So, he who is diligent in prayer must ask for it and know that in such an important matter he must endure a difficult struggle with much diligence and effort, since the spirit of malice attacks them with special force, seeking to overthrow our efforts. Hence the weakening of the body and soul, effeminacy, carelessness, negligence, and everything else that destroys the soul, tormented in parts and given over to its enemy. So, it is necessary that the soul be ruled by the mind, like a wise helmsman, indicating the direct path to the mountain pier and betraying the soul undamaged to God who entrusted it.
Saint Gregory of Nyssa

What are icons for?

When can a prayer fail?

When what is asked is not useful to the soul of the one who prays, or when he needs to acquire humility and patience.

“The mouth can ask for everything, but God only fulfills what is useful. The Lord is a wise Distributor. He cares about the benefit of the one who asks, and if he sees that what is asked is harmful or, at least, useless to him, he does not fulfill the request and refuses the imaginary good deed. He listens to every prayer, and the one whose prayer is not fulfilled receives from the Lord the same saving gift as the one whose prayer is fulfilled. Therefore, be sure that any petition that is not fulfilled is undoubtedly harmful, and that petition that is heard is beneficial. The giver is righteous and good and will not leave your petitions unfulfilled, because in His goodness there is no malice and in His truth there is no envy. If He delays in fulfilling it, it is not because He repents of the promise, on the contrary. He wants to see your patience."
Saint Ephraim the Syrian

“First of all, we must know that it is not permissible for us to ask for everything we want, and that in any case we are not able to ask for something useful. With great prudence, petitions should be made, conforming them to the will of God. And those who are not heard need to know that either patience or intensification of prayer is necessary. Saint Basil the Great

“Sometimes our petition is immediately heard, but sometimes, according to the Savior, God is long-suffering for us, that is, he does not quickly fulfill what we ask: He sees that this fulfillment must be stopped for a while for our humility. When your petition is not fulfilled by God, submit reverently to the will of the All-Holy God, Who, for unknown reasons, left your petition unfulfilled. Bishop Ignatius (Bryanchaninov)

According to the Gospel, one of the conditions for hearing prayer is reconciliation with neighbors. The Gospel says: “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (

Once upon a time, I asked “all-knowing grannies” in the Church about everything that was not clear to me. Once again, I asked about reading the Psalter: how to read, what to pray for, etc. To which my grandmother replied that the Psalter must be read only in the Church Slavonic language, otherwise “LOW”! I was very upset and began to study the letter of the church language. But I was tempted to ask the priest about this in confession. Batiushka smiled through his beard and said that the Psalter can and should be read in the language you understand. The Lord understands all languages, you just need to sincerely ask Him, from the bottom of your heart! And he also advised me to ask all questions only to the priest and never listen to the know-it-all grandmothers!

Question to the priest

Question to the priest- section of the site "Russian faith", which is especially popular. We are getting new questions to the Orthodox priest almost every day, and especially a lot of them come from novice Christians who have only heard about the Old Believers, but did not have the opportunity to get to know him better.

We know how difficult it can be, - cross the threshold of the temple and ask your question to the priest live. And of course, a personal conversation and a living word of consolation will never replace email. However, we need spiritual advice.

We believe that all the efforts of our shepherds will not be in vain even if at least one of those who asked receives some spiritual benefit!

Ask a priest a question

Is it possible to read prayers in Russian?

You raise a very serious question, the answer to which is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. For a man deeply rooted in Orthodox tradition, it seems unthinkable how one can address God in modern Russian. And for a person who is just coming to faith, the Church Slavonic language is unusual and incomprehensible. In the temple, the texts of the Holy Scriptures are read in Church Slavonic, and in literature, in sermons, in letters and answers to contemporaries, we most often use the text of the synodal translation of the Bible into Russian. But we use it only to convey the idea more clearly to modern man, although this translation is rather archaic. In passing, I note that work is underway to publish an Old Believer translation into Russian of the Holy Gospel.

It must be said that the Church Slavonic translation of the Bible and liturgical texts is more accurate and closer to the original than the synodal translation. Specialists in the field of linguistics speak of the difficulty of interpreting prayer formulas and the impossibility of accurately conveying liturgical semantics with the tools of modern language.

A wonderful article about our liturgical language is published in the preface to the "Prayer Book", published by the Old Believer Metropolis of the Russian Orthodox Old Believer Church (M., 1988, etc., pp. 8-9). It briefly but essentially reveals the meaning of the Church Slavonic language and the reasons why the Church cannot switch to modern Russian. Here I will only quote one paragraph.

The centuries-old prayer experience of the Russian Church shows that the Church Slavonic language is the best suited for prayerful communion with God. After all, a conversation with God is not a conversation with a person. Therefore, the language of prayer must be different from the language of ordinary speech. The Church Slavonic language gives prayers and glorifications an elevated style, distracting the soul from vain earthly worries and sorrows. In this regard, the language of our worship is an inexhaustible treasure.

Start praying according to the prayer book, and you will see how the words of prayer flow organically from the heart.

The liturgical and modern Russian languages are closely related. Therefore, I would advise you to make an effort on yourself and try to master Church Slavonic. We can recommend the following tutorial: Pletneva A.A., Kravetsky A.G. Church Slavonic: Proc. ed. – 5th ed., stereotypical. - M.: AST-PRESS BOOK, 2013 - 272 s. It is also necessary to use a dictionary, although not many church words require translation. Further, reading Holy Bible, be sure to refer to the patristic interpretations. Compare Church Slavonic and Synodal translations. This will allow you to understand that the translation does not give a complete understanding of the meaning. After all, the Lord apostles open the mind to the understanding of the Scriptures"(Luke 24:45). Obviously, such work requires some effort and time, but it is generously rewarded. You will gain a deeper understanding of the Bible and worship. " For I want mercy, and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings"says the Lord (6:6).

I can give you an example. On Monday of the Holy Spirit in the temple are read following words Apostle Paul: … redeeming time» (Eph. 5:16). And in the synodal translation in the same place we read: … cherishing time". Agree that this instruction in Church Slavonic sounds much deeper and stronger? And here is his interpretation.

“Amma Theodora asked Archbishop Theophilus: what is the meaning of the saying of the Apostle: “Redeeming time”? He answered: “This means that our whole earthly life is like the production of trade. For example: when the time comes when reproaches will fall on you, you will redeem this time with humility of mind and gain benefit (profit) for yourself. Thus, everything that is contrary and hostile to us can turn, if we want, in favor of us ”(Alphabetical Paterik).

I also recommend that you familiarize yourself with the translations of the psalms made by the outstanding Russian philologist, academician Sergei Sergeevich Averintsev (1937-2004). See for example: Selected Psalms / Translation and commentary by S.S. Averintseva. - M .: St. Philaret Orthodox Christian Institute, 2005. - 176 p. These translations are remarkable in that they allow the modern person to convey the meaning of the psalms, firstly, in the Russian language (which excludes modern words, barbarisms and borrowings), and secondly, in such a Russian language that also conveys the imagery of the original, allows feel the structure of the psalm.

In conclusion, it is necessary to say a few words about the modern Russian language. This phrase is often used to denote common language, excluding everything that sounds "archaic". " The use of such a language writes S.S. Averintsev, - “creates the illusion that the environment in which the action takes place is modernity. … God comes to the believer in the reality of today; but I am afraid that He will not come to an isolationist ideological space that does not want to know anything but himself(op. cit. pp. 148 and 150).
