Prayer for the Living: An expression of love for people

In each church there are certain zones where candles are put for living, and zones where candles are placed for the dead. If you are new to the church for the first time, you can address this question to regular parishioners, but not during the service. Do not distract the prayers. When praying for those who are still in our sinful world, special petitions are read, other than requests for the deceased. Prayer to help the living is an effective help to the supported, especially when the petitioner is in the right mood.

Such different prayers

To turn to God for help still living in the sublunary world, usually read a short prayer in the morning rule or special prayers more at the end of the morning set. These latter are generally not necessary. But if you need to pray especially for your loved ones, do not be afraid of the length of prayer - read, reflecting.

There are among the petitions one, sometimes mistakenly called "the prayer of the living in the help of the Most High." This prayer is one of the most effective ways to fight demons, along with the prayer of the Holy Cross. The real name of this appeal to God is "Alive in the help of the Vyshnyago." It is also called the 90th Psalm. It is quite long, but you can learn it if necessary. The psalm says that the Lord is the protector of the worshiper, whom he hopes. God can save man from networks and evil words. Prayer says that the believer is protected by God, guarding against evil and demonic influences, and also protecting the body of a Christian who has entrusted himself to the Lord.

A brief prayer to help the living calls all who are not related to relatives and bosses, benefactors. This sometimes confuses believers. In fact, everyone for whom we pray indirectly serves us as a benefactor, for God sees and rewards our love and prayerful effort. But do not just be limited to friends - Christ bequeathed to us to ask and for enemies including. The practice of many believers shows that this contributes to the reconciliation of the warring. It is especially good to kiss the cross with prayer, for those who are with you in enmity, imagining that this worship of God should be credited to them. A Christian should try to live in peace with everyone and create peace between other people. A prayer for help read for another will not be left without an answer and a reward. And peacekeepers are sure to "be called the sons of God" in the Kingdom of the Lord, created on the site of the destroyed Earth.

The second, longer prayer for the help of the living is sometimes placed in the section "Pomponik" of the prayer book. In it, the Christian prays for his Church, and for the country, its army and people. He asks for all those who are in a difficult situation - orphans, prisoners, prisoners, suffering for the truth and faith. Praying for monks. He asks even for heretics and apostates in the hope of God's forgiveness for them. Prayer looks long, but takes 2-3 minutes.

Mother's prayer strength

Prayer for the living, pronounced by the mother, is especially strong. It can help a person in a very difficult, even fatal position. Although for mothers there are special prayers. However, at the last position, you can read any prayer you know by heart. Just "Lord, have mercy!" At a dangerous moment saved many. The one to whom you are addressing, will certainly hear and help.
