Praying on the road for fearless people

No wonder there is the expression "life path", which means a biography of a person. Any prayer is on the road.

For every Orthodox believer, the day begins with prayer, and it ends with it. Any work, any work is preceded by asking for help from the Lord and ends with gratitude to him. People who are worthy to understand the wisdom of the Creator, thank him for everything, even for failures, because he does not always give what he is asked for, but only what is really needed. Life experience suggests that without the Lord's will, no achievement is possible, and the successful completion of the journey, including.

Leaving the house even in a hurry, you should find at least a few seconds to cross to the red corner, and going in a difficult and insecure path, it is worth praying and is more cautious.

In any prayer, there is prayer on the road. Moreover, several of them, for example, are specially designed for drivers, and for sailors, and for soldiers. These prayers on the road are very good, they have strength and faith. It is better to memorize one of them, but if you can not overcome the sin of laziness, you can read it from the book, it's okay. In essence, they have a great degree of similarity, and they refer to petitioners.

Much more important is another. Before any long journey, when leaving your home, an Orthodox Christian should form peace in his soul, make it so that good and calm reign in her. It is not always easy, but it is necessary to strive for this. A short prayer for the journey will ease the soul.

This is especially true of representatives of professions, which are usually called courageous. Military men, pilots, sailors, truck drivers, steeplejacks, miners, police and many other employees and workers are at risk daily, and they need God's help much more often than others, so it was. Their prayers on the road are short, but informative.

A truly brave person is not afraid of anyone but God. Such were Prince Golenishchev-Kutuzov-Smolensky, Admiral Ushakov, Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov and other outstanding people, who proved their courage in campaigns.

Once upon a time, about a century ago, one field marshal said that atheists disappear somewhere in the war. It's true, alas, we remember God more often when we need something from him. However, some people are treated similarly to close people.

Prayer on the road - this is only a formal side of the matter, which helps a deeply believing person to feel the right hand of God, and someone who simply drummed the memorized text with a quick tongue does not give anything. It is important to remember that anger blinds, envy impoverishes, laziness is robbing. On the road there can be not only difficulties and dangers, often crafty lurks with his temptations of the traveler, and he can not always distinguish between good and bad. And death is not only physical, but spiritual.

It is very good, if the prayer on the road is written by the hand of an expensive person, wife, child, mother or father. You can buy a small book in the church shop, fine if it is given by a friend. And if it happened that the prayer-book was not at hand, then it's not scary, you can in your own words. Or read a very short "The Publican's Prayer", its something to remember quite simply.
