Explanatory Orthodox prayer book. Prayer before starting and at the end of any business: prayers Prayer for starting any new business

The life of a Christian is always filled with God. Prayer with Him is a conversation in which a person opens his heart and asks for help from the Heavenly Father. Priests advise doing this daily, morning and evening.

In addition, there is a prayer before the start of any undertaking, which is useful to read before the start of any undertaking. By reading it, a person invites the Creator to participate and bless the work of his hands.

Prayers before starting any good deed

How to pray before starting anything

Prayer before any undertaking does not guarantee 100% success, because God is a person, and not a rabbit’s foot worn for good luck. In His plans there may be a lesson for a person or a test, so some undertaking will not take place or will not be successful as the person intended. But in any case, asking for a blessing from the Creator to complete a deed, asking for a blessing for your hands is important and necessary for a true believer.

Advice! Orthodox people must always turn to the Holy Spirit; the words for this are written on the first pages of every printed prayer book. You can read them in the morning or before any specific work, or you can memorize them and say them to yourself always and everywhere.

You can do this briefly: “God bless!” or full text. Moreover, this will not only support the right attitude, but will also help convince oneself and others that a person is doing a godly deed.

For success you should say to yourself:

  • I am starting a right and godly work;
  • I asked the Father for help;
  • God will definitely help me, because I am doing the right and righteous thing.

In addition to positive motivation for yourself, these listings will help you be sure and look frankly at the work ahead - is it possible that the Father really wants it to be completed? It is clear that before the robbery these words will only show the illegality and sinfulness of the work.

Prayer to Our Lord

“Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen."

A Christian should always remember that his life does not belong to him, but only God is the King of everything, including his life. A person cannot control all events, but he can trust and ask Him for control over his life. After all, God's control means a long and blessed life, and a life that is completely controlled by man himself is usually filled with grief and disappointment.

Therefore, you should take a couple of minutes and think about the upcoming accomplishments, and if they do not contradict Scripture and God’s Will, then ask the Creator for help.

Prayer to the King of Heaven

Who can you pray to for the beginning of any business?

The host of Orthodox saints includes many people who suffered for Christ and are martyrs who, after death, intercede for people who still live on a sinful earth. Therefore, it is quite possible to ask them for help in some matter, so that they intercede with the Heavenly Father.

One of these saints is Nicholas the Wonderworker, to whom you can turn for help in doing any business. During his lifetime, the elder did not refuse help to anyone and after death he helps. The prayer to him is simple and consists of a couple of lines, but its pronunciation will help a person find strength and courage for any achievement.

Prayer to Nicholas the Ugodnik

“Pleasant Nicholas, Protector and Savior. Grant me peace in vain affairs and do not be angry at a sinful request. Endow me with diligent hard work and protect me from hefty failures. Thy will be done. Amen."

Saint Matrona of Moscow is also known to all Orthodox Christians as a helper to every sufferer and an advisor to those who seek. People turn to her for help when they have to deal with something that somehow affects their health or life: a long journey, surgery, treatment, flight, etc.

Before starting any business, a person is always overcome by doubts and worries. Even after calculating and analyzing possible risks and consequences, you can never say with one hundred percent certainty that everything will be fine. In order not to worry again, a prayer is read before starting any task.

The meaning of prayer

All people hope that any of their undertakings will always lead to a successful outcome and end happily. However, the business started does not always meet a person’s expectations. There are many factors that can lead to collapse. And the worst thing is that it is impossible to predict all of them and assess the degree of risk. We can only hope that everything will be successful.

To calm down and tune in to the right mood, a special prayer is read. Such a petition will help a believer to receive the help and protection of the saints.

Reading sacred texts allows you to focus on business, calm unreasonable fears, pacify your spirit and clear your mind. This is very important, because it is because of rash actions and imaginary fears that people choose the wrong path.

Often the cause of failure is the envy and hatred of the people around us. A prayer read in front of holy images drives away negativity from a person. The saints protect the believer from the sins of our world, allowing him to focus on building his own business and achieving success.

A prayer read helps a person in the following ways:

  • makes it possible to see the most correct decision among various choices;
  • gives protection to the saints in the person of the Guardian Angel;
  • gives determination and inspires;
  • protects against deception, fraud and theft, as well as ill-wishers and enemies;
  • helps in any endeavor.

A prayer before starting any business is said:

  • Lord God;
  • Matrona of Moscow;
  • Nicholas the Wonderworker;
  • Jesus Christ.

The strongest and most effective petition is considered to be one addressed to the Lord God. When reading it, you need to do the following:

  • make an appeal to God and ask him to cleanse yourself of sins and evil spirits;
  • then a request is made for support in all endeavors;
  • then you need to turn to Jesus and ask for his support.

Before starting any new work, you can simply say with faith in your heart, “Lord, help.”

Many believers, before opening a new business, often turn to Matrona of Moscow with a prayer request. During her lifetime, the saint listened to everyone who turned to her even with the most insignificant request. She should read a prayer service if the new job poses a danger to life and health.

You can also read a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker. During his lifetime, he was famous for helping everyone in need. And there are legends about the miracles he created.

To receive support in any endeavor, you can turn to the Holy Spirit for help. A special prayer can be read in any prayer book. You can also say the request in your own words. If a person believes passionately, then his request will definitely be heard.

You can also get help in starting your own business from your Guardian Angel. He will be an excellent assistant in any endeavor and will provide a person with the necessary protection.

When reading a prayer for the saints to hear, you need to use the name given at baptism.

Before starting any business

God bless.

Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Beginning Father, You declared with Your most pure lips: that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, I believe in the volume of my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me a sinner to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

You advertise- You said. Nothing- nothing (more precisely, nothing). Volume- having accepted (actual past participle of the verb embrace). About You Yourself- by force, in the name of You.

Because without Me you cannot do anything. Here are the words from the Savior’s intimate conversation with his disciples in Russian translation: He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing (John 15:5).

To do about You Yourself... The preposition “about” in the Church Slavonic language has, among other things, the meaning “with help, power, name”: Rejoice, ye righteous, in the Lord (Ps. 33:1), “in”: The Kingdom of God is not food and drink, but also righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit (Rom. 14:17.) Here is this verse in the Russian translation of the Bible: The kingdom of God is not food and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

At the end of every task

Glory to You, Lord.

You are the fulfillment of all good things, my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only one who is most merciful.

Execution- completeness. All the best- all the best, all the best. Execute- fill it up.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

Heavenly King, Comforter, ? Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and life to the Giver, ? come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.
interpretation

The prayer to the Holy Spirit is the stichera of the Feast of Pentecost. It is not read from Easter to Pentecost. In this prayer we pray to the Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Holy Trinity. In it we call the Holy Spirit the King of Heaven, because He, as the true God, equal to God the Father and God the Son, invisibly reigns over us, owns us and the whole world. We call Him the Comforter because He comforts us in our sorrows and misfortunes. We call Him the Spirit of truth (as the Savior Himself called Him), because He, as the Holy Spirit, teaches everyone only one truth, righteousness, only what is useful for us and serves for our salvation. He is God, and He is everywhere and fills everything with Himself: He is everywhere and fulfills everything. He, as the ruler of the whole world, sees everything and, where needed, gives. He is the treasure of good things, that is, the keeper of all good deeds, the source of all the good things that you need to have. We call the Holy Spirit the Giver of life, because everything in the world lives and moves by the Holy Spirit, that is, everything receives life from Him, and especially people receive from Him spiritual, holy and eternal life beyond the grave, being cleansed through Him from their sins. We turn to Him with the request: “Come and dwell in us,” that is, constantly abide in us, as in your temple, cleanse us from all filth, that is, sins, make us saints worthy of Your presence in us, and save us, Dear one, our souls are free from sins and the punishments that come with sins, and through this grant us the Kingdom of Heaven.

Prayer to the Lord.

Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Beginning Father, You said with Your most pure lips: “For without Me you can do nothing.” My Lord, Lord, I believe, having accepted in my soul and heart what You said, and I fall to Your kindness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work that I have begun, for Your glory, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints. Amen.
interpretation

One saint, Pachomius the Great, asked God to teach him how to live. And then Pachomius sees the Angel. The angel first prayed, then began to work, then prayed again and again began to work. Pachomius did this all his life. Prayer without work will not feed you, and work without prayer will not help you. Prayer is not a hindrance to work, but a help. You can pray in the shower while working, and this is much better than thinking about trifles. The more a person prays, the better his life is.

In order for the business to start, continue and end successfully, you need to pray to the Lord. There is a canonical prayer by Anthony of Optina “On the beginning of every business,” which reflects absolutely all petitions for beginning activities.

A bad thing, for example, a clever marketing ploy to attract customers in the eyes of God is unreasonable and harmful. It is also prohibited to produce products that are unsafe for the soul and body, such as tobacco, vodka and beer, synthetic, carcinogenic and simply dangerous food products. All this is listed in order to understand what is considered a godly deed and what is evil. You need to pray only for pious deeds that will benefit other people.

A good deed will bear fruit if you ask for God’s blessing. The Lord gives the blessing through a beautiful prayer composed by Saint Anthony of Optina Hermitage.

A blessing is also needed so that God can give wisdom, inspiration and strength for many years. It is known that any business requires responsibility, ingenuity, a clear and correct decision. You definitely can’t do it without God’s help! After all, the Lord said: “Without Me you can do nothing,” which means “Without Me you can do nothing.”

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen.

Prayer at the end of the case

You are the fulfillment of all good things, O my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only One who is most merciful, O Lord, glory to You.
