Prayer for September 1 for a good study. Powerful Prayer for Learning Children

Prayer for help in studying is positioned as an additional opportunity to gain knowledge without exhausting yourself by cramming. It has long been customary to read a prayer for success in studies to Sergius of Radonezh, who, while still a youth Bartholomew, was unable to master the letter, and suffered greatly from this. An unknown elder appeared to him, who, after dinner at the house of Bartholomew's parents, ordered him to read a prayer.

Having not been able to read correctly even by syllables before, the lad read the prayer without difficulty, after which he learned to read and write better than his other peers. Prayer helped the future Sergius of Radonezh in his teachings - and since then it is he who has been addressed with a prayer for help in his studies.

The holy martyr Tatyana became the patroness of students in Russia.

This is related to the important historical event in our country, on January 25, the day of the memory of the saint, Empress Elizaveta Petrovna signed the Supreme Decree on the establishment of Moscow University. So, a saint from a distant country, became the patroness of students in Russia, bringing good luck in exams, and then all over the world. Before teaching, everyone needs to pray - for this, there is a special prayer in the prayer book for help in studying.

Prayer "For help in studies"

“The Most Pure Theotokos, the House, which the Wisdom of God created for Himself, the Giver of spiritual gifts, from the world to the most peaceful mind, leading our mind and all to the knowledge of the mind! Receive prayer singing from us, unworthy Thy servants, with faith and tenderness bowing before Thy most pure image. Pray for your Son and our God, grant our power wisdom and strength, justice and impartiality to judges, spiritual wisdom, zeal and vigilance for our souls as shepherds, humility as a mentor, obedience to all of us, the spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of humility and meekness, spirit of purity and truth. And now, our all-loving, all-loving Mother, give us an increase in mind, die, unite in enmity and division of being and put them in a cous of unresolvable love, turn all those who have erred from unreason to the light of the truth of Christ, instruct the fear of God, abstinence and diligence, instruct the word of wisdom and Grant soul-beneficial knowledge to those who ask, autumn us with eternal joy, the brightest Cherubim and the most honest Seraphim.

Amen."

You can also pray in a critical situation, about which students know like no other - and call for help from your heavenly patron and guardian angel.

Description of prayers

Sergius of Radonezh is asked for help in their studies, reading special prayers (their grateful and talented descendants and contemporaries of the hegumen wrote a lot).

Prayer to Sergei Radonezh "About study"

“O reverend and God-bearing Father our Sergei! Look at us graciously, and those who are attached to the earth, raise us to the heights of heaven. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in the faith, and we certainly hope to receive all that is good from the mercy of the Lord God through your prayers. Ask your intercession gift understand the sciences and all of us with prayers that help (with the help of your prayers), on the day of the Last Judgment, shui part of the deliverance, the right countries of the community of being and the blessed voice of the Lord Christ, hear: “Come, bless my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world” . Amen."

Saint Tatiana (Tatiana) became the patroness of students for reasons that had nothing to do with the personality of the holy martyr herself. Therefore, it is difficult to find a special, "student" prayer, each of them must be checked carefully and carefully - it is easy to fall into the bait of sorcerers who teach you to pray incorrectly. Pray to the holy martyr in your own words or a traditional church prayer.

You can pray not only to St. Sergius of Radonezh or St. Tatiana.

In any, even the most subtle prayer book, there will be a prayer for a good study, addressed to the Lord.

Also helps in the assimilation and application of knowledge icon Holy Mother of God“Increasing the mind” - it is useful to pray before her and apply for questions of study.

Prayer for the icon "Addition of the mind"

"O Blessed Virgin! You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ! You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates. Have mercy on us too, who have sinned grievously and have not fulfilled the commandments of God, who have violated the vows of baptism and monastic vows and many others that they promised to fulfill. When the Holy Spirit departed from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him, and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit. The mind has become bustled with the vanity of thoughts, forgetfulness of God has darkened our souls, and now all kinds of sorrows, sorrows, illnesses, hatred, evil, enmity, vindictiveness, malevolence and other sins are oppressing the heart. And, not having joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beseech Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send us the Spirit of the Comforter, as He sent Him to the apostles, but comforted and enlightened by him, we will sing to You a song of thanksgiving : Rejoice, Most Holy Theotokos, who has added to our minds for salvation. Amen."

Many people have a habit of praying to a saint who is not usually prayed for help with their studies: if your family has such a pious tradition, follow it. All saints, without exception, have a word before God, and each will help in a different request and life problem.

How to pray for help?

It is wrong to think that only a prayer to Sergius of Radonezh or the martyr Tatiana before the exam is a magical means aimed at achieving the goal - getting a good grade. None of the Orthodox prayers is anything like that. Orthodoxy, unfortunately, too often can be presented or interpreted incorrectly - as a magical connection with a Higher Power. But prayer in Christianity is a living communion with the Lord Himself, although it can be understood (often from the intentional presentation of people pursuing dark goals) as an opportunity to call spirits and beings of a completely unknown origin and destination.

Magicians of all stripes very often use holy prayers to compose various spells and witchcraft formulas, and even more often (to the greatest regret), they post “prayer-like” formulations on various sites that mention the Lord Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, His Most Pure Mother, all Angels and Archangels, as well as Prophets and saints.

In shape they are sheep, but inside they are predatory wolves. And the main danger of such wrecking “chants” lies in the fact that a person who is not very experienced in the faith, or a baptized, but still unchurched person, can easily be deceived, buy into a cunning trick, and commit the sin of witchcraft, even if unconsciously.

If you are not convinced that the proposed prayer before the exam is just that, it’s better for you to ask the priest for advice, and until now, use Orthodox prayers for help in your studies or before the exam, printed in various church books and brochures, or posted on official websites temples belonging to the Orthodox Church.

Pray for success in your studies at all times, not only when there are hours left before an exam or an important test, and there is no hope of learning the subject. Order a prayer service on the thirty-first of August - pray on it for a successful school year, and the Lord will accompany you and support you with His Power, the holy guardian angel will not leave you all the days.

By the way, find out in the nearest church when a prayer service for students will be served - this usually happens on the last Sunday of August, so it is not advisable to order it separately.

In order for prayers to work effectively, do not forget to study diligently. The Lord and the saints will give you their help, but you yourself must also work and make efforts.

Cyril and Methodius, the first teachers of Slovenia

Warrior Methodius, knowing the vanity of life, went to the monks and diligently fulfilled monastic vows. His brother Konstantin successfully studied the sciences, was a temperate youth.

Soon he became a priest at one of the churches in Constantinople, defending Orthodoxy in disputes with heretics and infidels. Later he went to his brother on Mount Olympus, lived in fasting, spending all his time in prayer and reading books, then accepted monasticism with the name Cyril.

Soon, the Slavic alphabet was revealed to the brothers from Above. Some time after a debilitating illness, Cyril reposed in the Lord, and Methodius was consecrated a bishop.

About glorifying the language of Slovenian teachers and enlighteners, Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Methodius and Cyril. To you, as a child to the father, by the light of your teachings and writings of enlightenment and in the faith of Christ, we now diligently resort and pray in contrition of our hearts. If only your covenant, like a disobedient child, not observing and pleasing God, like you clean, careless, and from like-mindedness and love, even more Slovenian, like brothers in faith and according to the flesh, you bequeath good, otpadohom, both, like old in life you do not turn away your ungrateful and unworthy ones, but reward them with good ones for evil, so now your sinful and unworthy children do not turn away your prayers, but, as if you have great boldness to the Lord, diligently pray to Him, that he will guide and turn us to the path of salvation, strife and strife, in the midst of brothers of the same faith arising, will die, having fallen away, the packs will lead into unanimity, and will unite us all by unity of spirit and love in one, Saints, Cathedrals and Apostles of the Church. Vemy bo, vemy, how much can the prayer of the righteous to the mercy of the Lord, if it is brought about sinful people. Do not leave us, your dull and unworthy children, their sin for the sake of your flock, gathered by you, divided by enmity and temptations from non-believers seduced, diminished, but her verbal sheep are scattered, from mental wolves admire, give us jealousy with your prayers for Orthodoxy, yes, let us warm it up, we will preserve the fatherly traditions well, we will faithfully observe the charters and customs of the church, we will run away from all false teachings and so, in a God-pleasing life on earth prospering, we will be worthy of the life of paradise in heaven, and there together with you the Lord of all, in the Trinity of the One God we will glorify till the end of time. Amen.

Appearance of entering the temple

The clothes of the parishioner should be modest and clean. The tone of the vestments should be chosen in calm colors, “flashy” clothes in the church are useless. Sometimes it is recommended to wear clothes of certain colors, for example: light-colored vestments and a red scarf (for women) at Easter, dark clothes during Great Lent.

For confession and communion, ladies need to wear a skirt, but its length should not be above the knee. On a jacket or blouse, necklines and transparent fabrics should be avoided. Shoes should be comfortable, because you have to stand for a long time at worship services.

Men are not allowed to come in shorts, T-shirts, tracksuits.

Behavior in the Temple

In the House of God it is not accepted:

• to conduct conversations - this distracts parishioners from prayer;
• pray and sing aloud, sing along to the choir - it prevents the "neighbors" from following the course of the service;
• light candles on a candlestick while reading the Gospel, singing the Cherubim and the Eucharistic canon at the liturgy.

Buying candles, ordering prayers and magpies, purchasing literature should be on the eve of the Divine service, and not during it.

During conciliar prayer, when the congregation kneels, you need to take the same pose.

You can not keep your hands in your pockets, chew gum.

Arriving at the temple with children, one should monitor their behavior, not allow pampering. You can not bring animals and birds to the temple.

It is inappropriate to leave the church before the end of the divine service; only sick people and those who need early departure can do this.

Handling icons

When entering the hall of the church, one should venerate the icon lying in the center on the lectern. Usually this is an icon of a holiday or a saint whose memory is honored on this day.

First, you should make the sign of the cross on yourself twice, bow, kiss the icon and cross yourself again.

The parishioner should not kiss all the icons of the temple and the iconostasis, this should only be done by the bishop.

Voluntary donations

The parishioners bring the so-called sacrifice (or tithe) mainly in money, products for the priestly meal and any things that are necessary for the life of the church (wine, cloth, lamp oil, etc.).

Among believers, it is customary to make donations both to the temple and to alms to those in need who are on the porch.

The amount of the donation depends on the wealth of the parishioner, there are no strict rules, certain amounts and price lists.

Every child needs care. He needs to instill a desire to learn and learn the customs and traditions of society. All families, especially Orthodox ones, should work on this topic, and of course, do not forget to thank the Lord for help and generosity.

Prayer for study. To whom and how to pray?

There is more and more information that needs to be not only mastered, but also analyzed. The pace of the transformation of society has increased so much that our students are increasingly "stalling". They are hard and hard. Therefore, many need prayer for study. Both schoolchildren and students themselves and their parents cry out to the Lord. Let's figure out how to ask higher power about support. Who will suit the conspiracy to study, and who will feel better during prayer.

Why is help needed?

An important point. Prayer for study will not help the lazy and stupid. It is necessary not only to rely on the saints, but also to think about your behavior. This is not a piece of moralizing, but a real approach to the topic. How, interestingly, knowledge will be assimilated if a person does not want to read, even listen to what the teacher says to him? Do not think that the Lord has a special machine that forms neural connections in the brain. This is silly. Help from above comes for something completely different. We cannot absorb knowledge often because there is too much of it. The abundance of information causes nervousness, even depression. What kind of knowledge is there in such a state?

In addition, often children are lost, unable to answer because of self-doubt. They both know and understand the material, but the words do not come from the language. In such cases, prayer for study will definitely help. To support the spirit of man, to guide him imperceptibly, and to calm him down in the powers of the Lord and His angels. That is why they exist, to take care of us, the inhabitants of the earth. With this, they turn to those forces in which a person believes. The latter is very important. Why offer prayers to the void? The space you are addressing should be filled with essence.

Prayer for a good study

Let's talk about practice now. People are often interested, but who is the right person to contact? Do you need to ask a saint or the Lord? In fact, the prayer for study is read with love and trust. After all, you are waiting for an answer in the form of the necessary spiritual help. Who causes such feelings? The Lord and His Faithful Adepts. Therefore, it does not matter at all who is mentioned in the texts. All prayers to the Lord go away. But only if they are filled with sincerity and faith. Remember the parable of the Pharisee and the publican? The meaning is not in the texts, but in the soul. Therefore, it is necessary for the student not to slip a piece of paper with a prayer, but to explain it washed away. The same with parents.

Not understanding what you are muttering, you will not reach the Throne of the Lord. Below are the texts of the prayers. They can be used with some thought. The essence of the words is to ask the saints to guide the disciple along the path leading to God. So that the researcher of new knowledge could rise in thoughts and spirit to the level of the information received. It must be used not to the detriment of others, but for the benefit of mankind.

Prayer text

• “Good Lord! Send down to Your servant (name) the grace of the Holy Spirit. Let him strengthen his strength, so that heeding the teacher and teacher of knowledge, he could grow to Your glory, parental consolation. To become useful to the Fatherland and the Church. Amen!"

Nothing bad will happen if you change the text a little, leaving its meaning intact. Prayer before the exam:

• "Lord Jesus! Bless your servant (name) before the test. Send your help so that I can overcome all obstacles and achieve the desired success. Useful to you, Lord, to the Fatherland and to me! Amen!"

It's the same here. Don't get hung up on text. Especially when other words come from the soul. You yourself are talking with the Lord, decide what to ask for.

Whom will prayer not help?

Not everyone is brought up in the faith these days. There are atheistic families. Some people don't think about these things at all. Therefore, prayer for help in studies is far from for everyone. It is built on faith. We emphasize, not in a word, but in a feeling. It does not appear in a vacuum. And praying when you do not accept God with your soul is not worth it. There are other methods as well. A few more words about representatives of other faiths. They sometimes turn to Orthodox saints. There is no prohibition here. God is One. Is it necessary to go to the temple? This question is personal. No one will tell you firmly that you should do this and not otherwise. But it is recommended sometimes to look into the church. There is a special atmosphere that positively affects both the nervous system and the level of trust in the Lord.

Conspiracy to study

What is to be done to the one whom people call Thomas the unbeliever? There are no problems with this either. folk wisdom gave birth to a lot of advice and recommendations. If you believe in them, then practice the conspiracy to study. It is recommended to read it in the evening. You need to write on a blank sheet of paper what success you are striving for. Do it in detail, taking into account the level of your own potential. That is, it is undesirable for a solid C student to aim for a gold medal. Meaning? You should think over the text by candlelight. Fold the sheet into an envelope. Seal with candle wax. So say:

• “This message written is my sincere wish. Let it come true, everything in study turns out without barriers! Amen!"

Place the prepared magic bag under your pillow and go to bed. The ritual is repeated when failure occurs or the level of academic performance increases. Burn the old package.

Conclusion

When you turn to those forces that you believe in for help, remember that they will not cram for you. This is a man's business. Higher entities support morally and spiritually. They contribute to the emergence of a sense of self-confidence, an increase in the speed of thinking and reaction. The God of Christians is triune. So, we get the answer in the realm of the Spirit. That is, where a person's creative abilities are born. And memory and skills should be independently formed and trained! Good luck and success in your studies!

Prayer is a personal, sacred, appeal to God coming from the depths of the soul. Sincere conversation from the heart into the space of the subtle Divine world. The religious prayers of ancestors, holy people, who passed high energies through themselves and shared with the people, are heard and in circulation. Behind the words in prayers are deep experiences and high-frequency light. A person who repeats such prayers, like a tuning fork, tunes in to Divinity, and when awareness comes, a feeling of the multidimensional composition of the human structure and the universe, readiness to take responsibility.

A stable light enters such a space, and a person becomes a magnetic emitter of positive qualities. Dreams begin to come true, the plan is realized, the ongoing events are accepted calmly and neutrally, with contemplation.

Help in obtaining knowledge

The adoption of knowledge, skills, abilities refers to the movement, so the student constantly increases the coefficient of mental abilities. The main thing is to receive or give the necessary amount of information so that it is assimilated at a comfortable pace, without being overloaded. There are directed prayers for specific occasions. Prayer for study affects the areas of the brain, activating those parts that, at the neural level, set up a person for a favorable perception of information, optimal assimilation of material and stabilization in memory.

parental care

Prayer is the best way to help children heavenly powers. Caring for the child and mastering the science of prayer for the study of the child is available to caring parents. Faith and the desire for good through turning to God does not directly affect, but works with the human soul.

Prayer for the successful study of a child speaks of the tender care of an adult. When verbal influence, valuable instructions and remarks do not affect the child, it is time to move on to prayer. Even at first glance, naughty children subtly feel unobtrusive care. Prayer for help in studying in holy places is irreplaceable.

Appeal to the saints

The experience of the past often suggests how to absorb new knowledge with interest and apply it in life. People, reading a prayer for a good study, put an estimated result into its text, forgetting about the usefulness, and most importantly, the application of the acquired skills. When information is assimilated and placed in memory harmoniously, manifested at the right time, then a person sees the results of the acquired skills, calls it productive, good teaching.

The expediency of applying the acquired knowledge differs from the current approach, when the goal of teachers does not justify the speed of the material being presented and the evaluation system, which subsequently labels the student. Prayer for a good study helps to skip information harmoniously and objectively. When both the teacher and the student are in prayer and calm meditative acceptance, the teaching is more effective.

Assistance of the Saints

According to tradition, St. Tatiana is considered the patroness of students in Russia, whose memory is celebrated on January 25. During her lifetime, having distinguished herself by virtue and diligence, the saint successfully helps those who turn. To enlist the help of this heavenly intercessor means to start a productive acquisition of knowledge.

Two brothers - Cyril and Methodius - the creators of the Slavic alphabet, who were later canonized as saints, help with the exam.

The Mother of God, Jesus Christ and the helpers Peter and Paul with their great love will help you gain knowledge in any field of activity. Strengthened by the help of the great consciousness, one can boldly set to work.

Great Martyr Catherine, who lived in the 6th century, had a sharp mind and rare abilities. The consequence of turning to the saint is the development of wisdom, quickness of mind and the talent of a polyglot.

Angels and Archangels are ready to help in obtaining knowledge and assimilation of information, one has only to express a desire. The subtle Divine world sensitively reacts to the intention of a person, but this does not mean that after reading a prayer or asking for help, you can sit down and wait for enlightenment.

A person endowed with thought and free will must make efforts and persevere. The power of prayer depends on the person, faith, purity of thought, sincerity. Today, life in the dense, material world is the kind that everyone creates by actions. It is not enough to speak correctly - spirituality must be manifested by concrete actions.

Prayer for the exam

Turning to the Higher Forces helps to focus on those aspects of thinking that activate memory by throwing out key information. Before the exam, excitement piles up, which is reflected in the result. It is difficult to get rid of fear, which fetters and blocks mental activity and the ability to express thoughts.

Prayer for an exam relieves stress and gives strength. Focus on the goal, a meditative state, calmness and acceptance of opposite outcomes give freedom. It's not the end goal that matters, but the path.

Appeal to Sergei Radonezhsky

An example of the materialization of desire and implementation was shown by people of past centuries. In the 13th century, the seven-year-old boy Bartholomew, later St. Sergius of Radonezh, did not study well. No matter how hard teachers and parents tried, the boy could not learn to read, and the teachings of literacy turned out to be inaccessible to understanding. Tearful prayers to God for the gift of the understanding of literacy were crowned with success. The elder blessed the youth with the words of the gift of understanding the materials being studied and the subsequent transfer of knowledge to others.

The biography, life and actions of Sergius of Radonezh are indicative of faith in the Lord and help to overcome life's difficulties. The text of a prayer to Sergei Radonezh for study has come down to modern times, calling on the saint to help him study.

Orthodox prayers

Per Orthodox prayers specific rituals and rules follow. For example, in the Russian church, one should light a candle during prayer and put it on the face of the saint to whom one is praying. Fire symbolizes the Divine light, which ignites knowledge and dispels ignorance. A lit candle means love for the Lord and a willingness to serve. ancient tradition filled with divine meaning.

The image on the icon is alive; approaching him, the worshiper feels the presence of the spirit. According to church custom, you should cross yourself and bow, then light a candle and put it in a candlestick. Then turn to the face of the saint in prayer mentally, with knowledge of the words of the prayer or in ordinary words, after which you cross yourself again with a bow. Candles are placed in front of the faces of the icons of the saints addressed by the petitioner.

Actual Helpers in Prayer

The prayers are written in the Old Slavonic language, therefore they are difficult to read and difficult to pronounce, but everyone can feel the energy behind the words. It doesn't matter what language you pray in. To merge with prayer, to feel and pronounce it in your own words, to turn with the sincerity of which a person is capable of, with full devotion to the heart - this will be a powerful prayer.

When gratitude blooms in the soul, not tied to a goal, and is indicated in prayer, then the prayer receives endless resources of reciprocal, gracious energy. In a prayer uttered with gratitude lies the power of infinite power.

The highest degree of inner balance is manifested in the complete acceptance of events, when the reaction to what is happening is followed by an inner smile, love for others, tenderness, pleasure, care and timely help to the defenseless. Prayer gives a feeling of assistance to the subtle Divine plan, receiving and bestowing, the interchange of energies of the joy of communication. With what inner attitude to approach prayer, it turns out at the end. Relationships with the outside world, the state of the body, thoughts, emotions - the message that is sent to the Universe and embodied in everyday life. The power of prayer has a beneficial effect on radiant impulses. In every deed, at every moment, the state of prayer sets you up for positive. Thanksgiving Prayers work wonders for learning.

Since ancient times, religion and belief in higher powers has been working true miracles: be it luck, health or enlightenment. Success in the teachings is also helped by the Saints and the Supreme Father. For this, there are prayers for study that have an impact on students at school, institute or academy.

What will help

The help of prayer, of course, is indirect. It helps to concentrate, improve memory, concentration and calmness of the student, which is especially important during exams or summing up the final results.

To whom to pray

Both the students themselves and their relatives and friends (parents, grandmothers, brothers and sisters) can ask the Lord for progress in the educational process - all those who are not indifferent to the fate of a person. For example, a mother can and should ask for success in her child's education, since a mother's prayer is very powerful. You can ask without the knowledge of the student, if the child himself does not want to do it.

You can pray for help in education both in church and at home, or even directly in educational institution. The prayer service can be addressed not only to the Lord God himself, Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Guardian Angel, but also to various Saints: the apostle and evangelist John the Theologian, St. Sergius of Radonezh, the prophet Naum, the Righteous John of Kronstadt, the Martyr Neophyte, Cyril and Methodius. You can also turn to the apostles Peter and Paul for help.

Don't forget to give thanks when you achieve your goals.

Texts

The texts of the psalms can be found both in church prayer books and on the Internet. It is advisable to memorize them. Prayer will have great power if you understand what it is about. This will make it easier to remember and easier to pronounce. Choose who and how to pray individually.

Before you start studying

Do you have to finish school again, only this time with your child?

Then this psalm will definitely come in handy to help you achieve success in the new academic year.

Lord God and our Creator, in His image we, the people, who adorned, Thy chosen ones taught Thy Law, so that those who listen to him marvel, revealed to the children the secrets of wisdom, Solomon and all those who seek her bestowed - open the hearts, minds and mouths of Thy servants (names) in order to comprehend the power of Thy Law and to successfully learn the useful doctrine taught by it for the glory of Thy Most Holy Name, for the benefit and dispensation of Thy Holy Church and the understanding of Thy good and perfect will. Deliver them from all the wiles of the enemy, keep them in the faith of Christ and purity throughout their lives - may they be strong in mind and in the fulfillment of Your commandments and so taught, glorify Your Most Holy Name and be heirs of Your Kingdom - for You, God, are strong all glory, honor and worship, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, always, now and forever and forever and ever, is due to mercy and blessings in strength and to You. Amen.

If teaching is difficult

Getting good grades at school or college is important not only for students, but also for their parents. This increases self-esteem and the desire to achieve the heights of success, motivates for further academic performance and can help you gain authority among peers.

If you personally or your child finds it difficult to study, this appeal is what you need. A prayer service is offered to St. John Chrysostom.

Oh, great Saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and various gifts from the Lord, and like a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this sake, truly, the universal teacher was thou, as every age and every name is learned from you. Се́ бо отроко́м послуша́ния о́браз яви́лся еси́, ю́ным – целому́дрия свети́ло, муже́м – трудолю́бия наста́вник, ста́рым – незло́бия учи́тель, и́ноком – воздержа́ния пра́вило, моля́щимся – во́ждь от Бо́га вдохнове́нный, му́дрости и́щущим – ума́ просвети́тель, вити́ям доброглаго́ливым – сло́ва жива́го исто́чник неисчерпа́емый, благотворя́щим - a star of mercy, to those in charge - the rule of a wise image, truth to a zealot - an inspirer of boldness, truth for the sake of the persecuted - a mentor of patience: all were thou, but save everyone. Over all these, you acquired love, I am the union of perfection, and by that, as if by the power of the Divine, all the gifts in your soul were united into one, and there love divided, reconciling, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles. But we are sinners, each one has its own gift of property, the unity of the spirit in the union of the world is not imams, but we are conceited, irritating each other, seeing each other: for the sake of the gift, our divided is not condemned into the world and put our salvation, but we put our salvation, The same to you, the saint of God, we fall down, servants of God (names), we are overwhelmed with discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers, we sever from our hearts all pride and envy that divides us, but in many we shall not be spoiled let us love one another and with one mind confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity of the same essence and indivisible, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Jesus Christ

Each of us, even if he does not consider himself a churchly and righteous person, knows who Jesus Christ is. And in the most complex and inexplicable life situations remembers his name. Perhaps the first words with requests and appeals are directed specifically to Him. In every temple and the smallest church you will find His image and the Holy crucifix.

A psalm to Jesus Christ can be read when it is necessary for you or your loved ones to become more successful at work, get an ardent desire for new knowledge, powerful motivation to overcome difficulties, and, accordingly, improve your performance.

Lord God and our Creator, in His image we, the people, who adorned, Thy chosen ones taught Thy law, so that those who listen to him marvel, revealed the secrets of wisdom to children, gave Solomon and all those who seek it - open the hearts, minds and mouths of Thy servants (names) in order to comprehend the power of Thy law and to successfully learn the useful doctrine taught by it, for the glory of Thy Most Holy Name, for the benefit and dispensation of Thy Holy Church and the understanding of Thy good and perfect will. Deliver them from all the wiles of the enemy, keep them in the faith of Christ and purity throughout their lives, may they be strong in mind and in the fulfillment of Thy commandments, and so taught they will glorify Thy Most Holy Name and be heirs of Thy Kingdom, for Thou art God, mighty in mercy and good strength, and all glory, honor and worship befits you, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, always, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

There is a shorter, simpler and more understandable ministry to Jesus Christ. Even a child can remember and read it.

Blessed Lord, send us the grace of Your Holy Spirit, giving meaning and strengthening our spiritual strength, so that, listening to the teachings taught to us, we may grow to You, our Creator, to the glory, our parent for consolation, the Church and the fatherland for the benefit. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Now and forever and ever. Amen.

Cyril and Methodius

The most holy brothers Cyril and Methodius, on the instruction of the Almighty, compiled the Slavic alphabet and translated many liturgical books from Hebrew, including the Gospel and the Psalter.

About glorifying the language of Slovenian teachers and enlighteners, Saints Equal-to-the-Apostles Methodius and Cyril. To you, as a child to the father, by the light of your teachings and writings of enlightenment and in the faith of Christ, we now diligently resort and pray in contrition of our hearts.

In almost every, even the most subtle prayer book, you can find petitions for help in learning. Most often they are addressed to Abbot Sergius of Radonezh, the Most Holy Theotokos or Martyr Tatiana. Whether you learn this appeal by heart, read it from a piece of paper or even from a photo on your phone, it doesn’t matter. The main thing in Orthodoxy is your aspiration. God doesn't care what you wear or how you make up. God sees the soul. And if the intentions are pure and open, your requests will be heard.

In the church, of course, there are certain rules of conduct and appearance. For example, keeping cleanliness and silence is mandatory. Women should wear a scarf or stole on their heads, cover their legs and neckline, it is not allowed to come during menstruation. Men, on the other hand, are required to remove their hats.

Turning to the Saints, you must have an idea which icon belongs to whom, and also be able to be baptized. It is important to light your candle from the lamp, and not from someone else's burning candle.

It is easier to contact the Creator at home. It is enough to free up some space around you, light a wax candle and speak from the heart. The presence of icons at home is, of course, welcome Orthodox Church, but is not considered a required attribute.

If the fire during the prayer service burns unevenly, trembles, the candle crackles and smokes - this indicates that you should go to the Temple of God, confess and. Most likely, a lot of negative energy has accumulated around you and it would not hurt to get rid of it.

Human life is full of various situations, the success of which is impossible to predict. For example, examinations during admission to a university, when moving from one class to another. Even high achievers experience excitement before such an event. No matter how much you would like it, you cannot be sure of success in advance.

This is what makes many on the eve resort to the help of prayers, which should ensure success and good luck in their studies. Not only schoolchildren and students can read them, but also their parents, friends - everyone who is not indifferent to the fate of a future young specialist. Who can you turn to in such a need, what saints help you study successfully? Find out from our article.

Prayer for study before the icon Addition of the Mind

Believers call on the Most Holy Theotokos in the most different situations. Prayers for studying at school are said before a rare image of the Queen of Heaven. It was painted by one artist who lived in Rybinsk in the 17th century. The story happened after church schism which took place during the reign of Patriarch Nikon. A certain icon painter tried to understand the theological subtleties that led to disputes, but could not. As a result, the unfortunate man lost his mind.

In moments of enlightenment, which sometimes happened, the master began to pray to the Mother of God. And then one day she herself appeared to him in a dream and ordered him to paint an icon. But the artist had to accurately convey his vision, in every detail. The work did not go quickly, but in the end it was over, a clear mind returned to the man. And the image has since been known in Russia under the name "Addition of the mind."

• The icon has a non-standard composition - the figures of Christ and the Mother of God are almost completely hidden under the vestment (it copies the phelonion, part of the robes of the Orthodox clergy).
• The heads of the saints are covered with large crowns.
• Above them are angels.
• Jesus has an orb in his hand.

Surprisingly, it turned out that the same composition exists in catholic church, only not in the form of an icon, but in the form of a statue made of wood. It was kept in the Italian city of Loreta, in the small church of Santa Casa (holy house). It is believed that it was built by St. Helena in the place where the Virgin Mary lived. Then he was miraculously transported to Italy. Unfortunately, both the original icon and the statue were lost.

You can pray before the image not only on the eve of responsible offsets. It is better to do this daily, because success in any business consists of constancy.

Prayer for Academic Success:

"O Blessed Virgin! You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ! You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates. Have mercy on us too, who have seriously sinned and not fulfilled the commandments of God, who have violated the vows of baptism and vows of monasticism, and many others that we promised to fulfill. When the Holy Spirit departed from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him, and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit. The mind has become bustled with the vanity of thoughts, forgetfulness of God has darkened our souls, and now all kinds of sorrows, sorrows, illnesses, hatred, evil, enmity, vindictiveness, malevolence and other sins are oppressing the heart. And, not having joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beseech Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send us the Spirit of the Comforter, as He sent Him to the apostles, but comforted and enlightened by him, we will sing to You a song of thanksgiving : Rejoice, Most Holy Theotokos, who has added to our minds for salvation. Amen".

Prayer to Saint Tatiana for study

Oh, holy martyr Tatiano, bride of Your Sweetest Bridegroom Christ! Lamb of the Divine Lamb! The dove of chastity, the fragrant body of suffering as if with royal garments, numbered among the face of heaven, rejoicing now in eternal glory, from the days of youth a servant of the Church of God, observing chastity and loving the Lord more than all the blessings! We pray to you and we ask you: listen to our heartfelt petitions and do not reject our prayers, grant purity of body and soul, inhale love for Divine truths, lead us on the virtuous path, ask God for angelic protection for us, heal our wounds and ulcers, youth protect, old age painless and comfortable grant, help in the hour of death, remember our sorrows and grant joy, visit us who are in the prison of sin, guide us to repentance soon, kindle the flame of prayer, do not leave us orphans, but glorifying your suffering, we send praise to the Lord, now, and forever, and forever and ever. Amen

History of St. Tatiana

She lived at the end of the 2nd century. in Rome, her memory falls on January 25th. The girl's parents were Christians and passed on their faith to their daughter. Having become an adult, Tatyana decided to devote her life to God. During the persecution organized by Emperor Severus, she was arrested. The martyr was brought to a pagan temple to force her to sacrifice to the gods. But through the prayer of Tatyana, the idol was destroyed. Then they began to cruelly torture her - they beat her, threw her into a pit with wild lions.

But the torment, which lasted for several days, did not bring results. The saint was beheaded. Why did the martyr come to be considered a teaching assistant? The fact is that the first Russian university opened in Moscow celebrates its birthday exactly on the day when the church remembers the Christian feat of St. Tatyana and her parents. Over time, Tatyana's Day began to be celebrated not only in Moscow State University but all over Russia.

Therefore, any applicant, no matter where he studied - at an institute or college, knows that the martyr Tatyana helps to acquire knowledge. Parents can also turn to her, asking for help for their son or daughter. Many universities today have prayer rooms or even chapels. Anyone can come in before class, light a candle, gather their thoughts.

Prayer, as proven by scientists, calms the mind, the brain begins to work at a special frequency. It helps to calm down, focus on the main thing. In this state, any business will be argued.

Holy righteous John of Kronstadt - how to pray for a good study

He was born in the 19th century in a poor family. His ancestors were priests, and little Vanya also dreamed of this. But in order to become a clergyman, it was necessary to study - to master many subjects, to read a lot of books. The parents were not rich, but they sent their son to a seminary in the city of Arkhangelsk.

But things were not going well, young Ivan had difficulty learning to read and write. He was very worried about this. After all, the family gave almost all available funds for the child's education. The boy did not sleep at night and prayed, asking God to help him. And so, things gradually improved. The future shepherd began to study so well that he was sent to continue his education at public expense. The Saint graduated from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy with the title of Candidate of Sciences.

• One woman shared the story of how her patron saint helped her son get into medical school. On the eve of the exams, Tatyana went to the monastery of St. John, where the relics of the popularly beloved father are buried. She kissed his tomb, prayed before the icon. Her son was not only enrolled, but was also able to get a budget place, as he showed excellent knowledge.

During his lifetime, Saint John of Kronstadt was known for his simplicity. He never refused to help anyone, people followed him in droves. Every day, the poor received alms from the righteous, which helped them live until evening. And after his death, the priest remained responsive to any requests - if they come from a pure heart. Knowing that in childhood the righteous had difficulties in learning, anyone can safely ask him for help in mastering the sciences.

For a good study, they read a prayer:

“O great saint of Christ, holy righteous Father John of Kronstadt, wonderful shepherd, quick helper and merciful intercessor! Lifting up praise to the Triune God, you prayerfully cried out: “Your Name is Love: do not reject me who am mistaken.

Your name is Strength: strengthen me, exhausted and falling. Your name is Light: enlighten my soul, darkened by worldly passions. Your name is Peace: die my restless soul. Your name is Grace: do not cease to have mercy on me.

Now the all-Russian flock, grateful to Your intercession, prays to you: Christ-named and righteous servant of God! With your love, illumine us, sinners and the weak, vouchsafe us to bring worthy fruits of repentance and partake without condemnation of the Holy Mysteries of Christ.

Strengthen your faith in us by your strength, support us in prayer, heal illnesses and diseases, deliver us from misfortunes, enemies visible and invisible. With the light of the face of your servants and primates of the altar of Christ, move to the holy feats of pastoral work, grant education to babies, instruct youth, support old age, shrines of temples and holy cloisters illuminate.

Die, O miracle worker and seer, the peoples of our country, by the grace and gift of the Holy Spirit, deliver from internecine strife; Gather the squandered, convert the deceived, and gather the Holy Ones of Your Catholic and Apostolic Church.

By your mercy, keep marriages in peace and unanimity, grant prosperity and blessings to those who monastic in good deeds, give cowardly comforts, freedom to suffering unclean spirits, have mercy on the needs and circumstances of those who exist, and guide us all on the path of salvation.

Living in Christ, our Father John, lead us to the non-evening light of eternal life, may we be vouchsafed with you eternal bliss, praising and exalting God forever and ever. Amen".

Prayer to the Holy Matrona for help in passing the exam

The great old woman is especially revered by the inhabitants of the capital. This is due to the fact that the relics of the righteous are buried in one of the Moscow monasteries. Many sought help and consolation from Matronushka, and received what they asked for. There are cases when she blessed and good study.

• When Oksana arrived, she wanted to enter Moscow State University. The competition there is huge, the girl did not count on her own strength. On the eve of the exam, she went to the relics of St. Matrons, stood in line for several hours. At that moment, when she approached the tomb, her soul became very light. Exams passed successfully!

The old woman herself never studied, because she was blind from birth, and besides, she was born into a poor family. She knew only one teacher - the Lord, one textbook - the Holy Scriptures. But God gave her the opportunity to help everyone who shows faith and perseverance.

Before the exam, read a prayer:

O blessed mother Matrono, now hear and receive us, sinners, praying to you, having learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn in all your life, with faith and hope for your intercession and help of those who come running, quick help and miraculous healing giving to everyone; may your mercy not fail now to us, unworthy, restless in this world of many vanities and nowhere to find consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses: heal our sicknesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the devil, passionately fighting, help me convey my worldly Cross, to endure all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, keep the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, have strong hope and hope in God and unfeigned love for neighbors; help us, after departing from this life, reach the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, in the Trinity of glory, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for a good study to Sergius of Radonezh

Collector of lands, peacemaker, spiritual teacher of our country - Sergius of Radonezh. Perhaps someone does not know this, but he is not only a healer and spiritual mentor. Saint Sergius will always answer the student's prayers, because he is the patron of all students.

At a young age, the future monk had absolutely no ability to study. He couldn't even read. Classmates laughed at Bartholomew (he received the name Sergius already in monasticism). How did the boy manage to overcome difficulties? With the help of God. Once a schemnik in black robes appeared to him and gave his blessing. It is believed that under the guise of a monk, the Angel of God himself descended from heaven.

On the same evening, Bartholomew loudly and expressively read the necessary passage from the Holy Scriptures. The people around immediately realized that a miracle had happened, since then they stopped laughing at the boy. Studying was easy for the lad, but he decided to leave for a monastery, preferring live communication with God to academic science. However, Reverend Sergius gladly helps those who themselves make efforts in the process of acquiring knowledge.
