Matrona of Moscow:

“Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow. Protect me from nervous enmity, protect me from severe need. May my soul not hurt from thoughts, and the Lord forgive me for all sins. Help me calm my neurosis, let there be no crying of sorrowful tears. Amen"

John the Baptist:

“To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, do not despise me who repents, but copulating with the heavenly ones, praying to the Lord for me, unworthy, dejected, weak and sad, fallen into many misfortunes, troubled by the stormy thoughts of my mind. I am a den of evil deeds, by no means having an end to sinful custom, nailed for my mind is an earthly thing.

What shall I do? We don't know. And to whom shall I resort, that my soul may be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the name of grace, as before the Lord, according to the Theotokos, it is more than all those who were born, you were honored to touch the top of the King of Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God.

Pray for him for my sinful soul, but from now on, in the first ten hours, I will bear the good burden and accept bribes with the latter. To her, the Baptist of Christ, an honest Forerunner, an extreme Prophet, the first martyr in grace, a mentor of fasting and desert dwellers, a teacher of purity and a close friend of Christ!

I pray, I resort to you: do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, cast down by many sins. Renew my soul with repentance, as if with a second baptism, better than both, thou art the chief: with baptism, wash away the ancestral sin, with repentance, cleanse every bad deed. Cleanse me, defiled with sins, and compel me to enter, or else it enters badly, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen".

The most important thing is to sincerely ask the saint for help, believing in his miraculous powers. You need to turn to the face in the evening, on the eve it is recommended to visit the church and pray there near the icon. If this is not possible, then you can perform the ritual at home.

If there are many stresses and failures in life, it is worth reading a prayer text aimed at calming the heart and soul. He will give strength and energy for new achievements.

Orthodox prayer to calm the soul and heart

Modern life is full of stress, it haunts a person at work, at home, on the road or in public places. Problems with superiors, quarrels with a spouse, problems with children, terrorist attacks, disasters and natural disasters - all this makes a person experience constant stress and nervousness. Many experience numerous panic attacks, someone falls into depression. Christians understand how to deal with this - to resort to the help of the Lord and pray to Him.

How to calm the heart?

The person has an extremely vain nature. If you think carefully and remember the last moments of unconditional happiness and peace, it turns out that they were a long time ago and generally happen infrequently. Even a vacation does not guarantee a good rest from work, and even more so does not free you from family problems. A person’s to-do list is endless, his brain is constantly busy with certain problems, which ultimately leads to overwork, stress and depression.

However, Christians must understand that everything worldly is vanity, because in some 10-15 years the children will grow up and live their own lives, a problematic project at work will end, the car will be repaired and life will be a little calmer. Health problems also help to realize the temporality and insignificance of all difficulties - a serious illness makes it clear that no problems at work or quarrels with a harmful neighbor can be compared with heart problems and nothing compared with cancer or other diseases. Awareness of the vanity and temporality of worldly difficulties helps to treat them calmly, without taking them to heart.

Important! A person who cares about the state of his soul knows that as soon as longing or despondency captures his heart, stress begins - this is a signal of his departure from God. This condition is dangerous and can lead to serious problems.

How to calm a rebellious soul? Here are a few tips:

1. Confess - calm communication with a priest will help you rethink and understand why there is a lot of fuss in life and how to fix it.
2. Start fasting - 3-4 days you should limit yourself to food and entertainment, pay attention to reading the Scriptures and the writings of the church fathers. This will help to focus the eye on the spiritual, and not on the soul.
3. Communion - unity with the Church has a positive effect on the rebellious spirit and makes you think about the eternal.
4. Attend worship services more often - the calm atmosphere of the temple, hymns and sermons will help you turn to the Lord again and get peace of mind.
5. Pray regularly for the spiritual and spiritual state, asking the Lord to calm the soul and heart.

What prayers to read

Prayer calls for the help of the higher heavenly powers, it not only strengthens the faith, but also helps to calm the nerves, restore peace in the heart. At the same time, sometimes it is enough to say a few words and call on the Lord for help, without long rituals.

First of all, it is necessary to say the prayer “Our Father” – this is the first and most important prayer in the life of a Christian, which helps to restore peace in the heart:

Our Father Who art in heaven. May your name be hallowed; let your kingdom come; may Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us our daily bread this day; and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

The second most common prayer is considered to be “Hail to the Mother of God Virgin”. The Mother of God is an intercessor for all people before Jesus Christ and therefore it is necessary to read the appeal to her:

Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you: blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you gave birth to our souls as the Savior. It is worthy to eat as if truly bless Theotokos, blessed and immaculate and the Mother of our God. The most honest cherubim and the most glorious seraphim without comparison, without the corruption of God the Word, who gave birth to the real Mother of God, we magnify Thee. Amen.

If a certain period of life has happened, full of difficulties and problems, then every day, along with other prayers of the morning rule, you need to read the prayer of the Optina Elders for every day:

Lord, give me peace of mind to meet everything that the coming day brings me. Let me completely surrender to Your holy will. For every hour of this day, instruct and support me in everything. Whatever news I receive during the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and firm conviction that everything is Thy holy will. In all my words and deeds guide my thoughts and feelings. In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything is sent down by You. Teach me to act directly and reasonably with each member of my family, without embarrassing or upsetting anyone. Lord, give me the strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events during the day. Guide my will and teach me to pray, believe, hope, endure, forgive and love. Amen.

As words of repentance, you can read an appeal to John the Baptist, admitting his sinfulness and asking for help from a saint:

To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, repentant, do not despise me, but copulating with the heavens, praying to the Lord for me, unworthy, dejected, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, burdened by the stormy thoughts of my mind. I am a den of evil deeds, by no means having an end to sinful custom, nailed for my mind is an earthly thing. What will I create? We don't know. And to whom shall I resort, that my soul may be saved? Only to you, Saint John, give the name of grace, as before the Lord, according to the Theotokos, it is more than all those who were born, you were honored to touch the top of the King of Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God. Pray for him for my sinful soul, but from now on, at the first ten hours, I will bear the good burden and accept bribes with the latter. To her, the Baptist of Christ, an honest Forerunner, an extreme Prophet, the first martyr in grace, a mentor of fasting and desert dwellers, a teacher of purity and a close friend of Christ! I pray to you, I resort to you: do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, overthrown by many sins. Renew my soul with repentance, as if with a second baptism, better than both, thou art the chief: with baptism, wash away the ancestral sin, with repentance, cleanse every bad deed. Cleanse me, defiled with sins, and compel me to enter, or else it enters badly, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen.

Every day you can make an appeal to your Guardian Angel, asking him for help. You can even turn to him several times a day - when it is especially difficult to maintain the rhythm of life and overcome difficulties:

Angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from God from heaven, I diligently pray to you: enlighten me today, and save me from all evil, guide me to a good deed and direct me to the path of salvation. Amen.

Prayers for fear, fear and anxiety

Anxiety, night terrors, obsessive thoughts - every person has experienced this. Even in ancient times, people knew that the most effective remedy against mental anxiety and bad thoughts is prayer.

Being in spiritual confusion, it is difficult to find words. In this case, ready-made texts are used, compiled by hermits who lived in secluded places, where fears and anxiety act with particular force.

Their prayers are a sure way to get rid of phobias, anxious states, thoughts that confuse the soul.

Fear of people

Strong prayer for fear and anxiety - Psalms of David.

King David, who lived in pre-Christian times in the land of present-day Israel, endured persecution from his own son Absalom, who also wanted to reign. Once, hiding from the chase, David wrote a psalm "Lord, why do my enemies multiply?". While the king was praying, his enemies were defeated by the power of God, without the use of weapons.

David's prayer can still be heard every day in an Orthodox church at the evening service.

St. Ambrose of Optina recommended this prayer reading in order to destroy the evil intentions of the enemies, but not to sin ourselves. In times of great embarrassment, you can read the entire psalm, or utter individual phrases that are suitable for the situation.

Other psalms of David:

You can pray in both Slavonic and Russian.

Lord, why do you multiply those who are cold? Many rise up against me, many say to my soul: there is no salvation for him in his God. You, Lord, are my intercessor, my glory and lift up my head. I called with my voice to the Lord, and heard me from my holy mountain. I fell asleep, and spah, rose, as if the Lord would intercede for me. I will not be afraid of those people around who attack me. Resurrect, O Lord, save me, my God, for you have struck down all those who are at enmity with us in vain: you have crushed the teeth of sinners. Salvation is of the Lord, and Your blessing is upon Your people.

Unfounded fears

Dark thoughts come to every person from time to time. It seems that nothing happened, but the heart is tormented by panic, forebodings of trouble. In these cases, they turn to the Mother of God.

She spent a long time in anxious anticipation of the misfortune that was to befall her Son, Christ. Her help is strong in similar situations that happen to people.

In the 8th century there lived a Greek monk Theosterikt, who suffered from attacks of fear and anxiety. To get rid of them, Theosterikt compiled the Canon of the Theotokos for prayerful help, "read in spiritual sorrow and circumstances."

This is a powerful prayer from obsessive thoughts that give rise to phobias, printed in any prayer book.

Reading the canon every day, believers really get rid of fear, anxiety and anxiety.

The creation of the monk Theostirikt

Irmos: Having passed the water like dry land, and having escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israelite cries out: Let us drink to the Redeemer and our God.

The intercession of Christians is shameless, Intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but precede, as if Good, to help us, who faithfully call Thee: hasten to prayer, and strive for supplication, intercession ever, the Mother of God, honoring Thee.

Irmos: From Judea the youths came down, in Babylon sometimes, by the faith of the Trinity, the fire of the cave was trampled, singing: God of the fathers, blessed be Thou.

Glory: Enlighten thy Light with the dawns, Virgin, driving away the darkness of ignorance, faithfully confessing the Theotokos to Thee.

And now: In the place of embitterment of weakness, humbled, Virgin, heal, transforming from ill health into health.

It happens that anxiety is so strong that there is no strength for long reading.

In these cases, repeated repetition of a short prayer “Most Holy Theotokos, save me” or singing “My Queen, Blessing” will help: See my trouble, see my sorrow; help me, as if I am weak, feed me, as if strange! Offended by my weight - resolve that one, like you will! As if there is no other imam of help, except for You, neither another Representative, nor a good Comforter, only You, O Mother of God! Yes, save me and cover me forever and ever. Amen.

Fear of death

Every person is afraid of death for several reasons:

• uncertainty of the event itself;
• fear of leaving children or loved ones without help;
• unwillingness to lose the pleasures of life.

All of them come from disbelief in the will of God. At such moments, prayer helps from fear and anxiety caused by the expectation of death.

Many saints experienced similar states.

The Monk Mary of Egypt was tormented by the fear of death, living for 17 years in complete solitude, in the desert, until the Mother of God Herself delivered her from spiritual embarrassment. Martyr Boniface, who loved various pleasures during his lifetime, no doubt went to his death when it came to confessing faith in Christ.

You can ask these saints for help with your own words or special petitions: but about souls, things are immortal. / The same and from the Angels rejoices, reverend Mary, your spirit.

Thy martyr, O Lord, Boniface, in his suffering the incorruptible crown is received from Thee, our God, for having Thy strength, put down the tormentors, crush and the demons of weak insolence. Save our souls with prayers.

Night terrors

When the day is drawing to a close and the environment becomes hard to distinguish, imaginary fears overcome an impressionable person. Children are especially susceptible to this: their imagination draws monsters under the bed or ghosts outside the window.

Other prayers for anxiety:

An effective prayer for nightly fears generated by demons is David's psalms "Let God rise again" and "Alive in the help of the Most High."

The first of them calls on God to drive away enemies - evil spirits, and the second tells about the serene life of one who always hopes for God's help.

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the Heavenly God will settle down. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. As if He will deliver thee from the net of the hunter, and from the rebellious word, His splash will overshadow thee, and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the passing, from the scum, and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, both look at your eyes, and see the reward of sinners. As you, O Lord, are my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways. They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.

May God arise, and let the enemy be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His face. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear, like wax melts from the face of fire, so let sinners perish from the presence of God, and let the righteous rejoice, let them rejoice before God, and enjoy in joy.

Short prayers for nervousness, anxiety

In moments of special anxiety and nervous tension, it is good to read short prayers that soothe feelings:

1. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on me a sinner (sinner).
2. Holy Mother of God, save me.
3. Saint (name), pray to God for me.

The rosary can be touched, which helps to concentrate and calms the nerves.

Prayer is not a magic spell, but evidence of a person's faith in God.
Asking for the help of God and the saints, one must try and live according to the commandments of God. Then mental anxieties, phobias, obsessive thoughts and fears will go away without return, and every event of life will bring joy.

Why the soul is restless

When a person's soul is restless, and he worries for no apparent reason, you should carefully consider your condition and, if possible, consult a doctor. The following danger signs are distinguished when you need to see a doctor:

• A person is in constant stress for no reason. Even if everything in life is good, relatives do not have health problems, anxiety can overcome in the morning and throughout the day. Often you have to suffer from insomnia, although during the day there were no conflicts and other incidental situations. Often the reason is hidden in a psychological state, and sometimes a mental disorder. This is due to the constant workload of the brain, when the immune system cannot resist physical and psychological stress. Doctors in such cases may prescribe antidepressants, but only after a thorough examination.
• You should not refuse to visit a doctor for women who notice an unreasonable change in mood.
