How to treat childhood prayer neurosis. Powerful prayer for depression and despair

Depression, despair, despondency are conditions that are not just a bad mood that will pass in a few hours, but a much worse health disorder. Sometimes prolonged depression is put on a par with complex diseases, which are treated by professional doctors.

It is worth noting that in Orthodoxy such mental states were equated with mortal sins. However, during their lifetime, some saints also suffered from such complex mental disorders. Therefore, prayers for despondency and depression have come down to our time, which help a believer overcome this difficulty in his life.

Who should you pray to in case of depression and despair?

Today, there are a sufficient number of different prayers that can help a believer get rid of such an unpleasant moral state. The first step is to choose a sacred text that will have a beneficial effect on the person asking for help from the saints.

It is worth noting that every Orthodox Christian can independently distinguish which prayer is from depression and despair, and which is from melancholy and despondency. To do this, you just need to read the prayer service; from its text it becomes clear, and the believer himself must feel that this sacred text is intended specifically for his condition.

Moreover, you should choose a saint who will hear your request, understand it and, by necessity, be able to fulfill it. This is not so easy to do; you need to think about your situation and find the miracle worker whose story fits the specific situation.

It is also worth considering what type of people this or that strong prayer for depression is suitable for. That is, a person can be in a state of oppression for various reasons; there are prayers of this kind for people:

• who are sad and depressed because they are in prison and lack spiritual strength;
• sometimes despondency occurs due to a person’s separation from people close to him;
• in some cases, a believer cannot cope with depression due to constant failures in various endeavors.

Saints helping Christians from laziness, despondency, despair, depression

Depending on the specific conditions, every believer must choose a miracle worker who can hear his requests and help in difficult times. Every Orthodox Christian can ask for help from the following saints:

• Mother of God.
• Matrona of Moscow.
• John of Kronstadt.
• Nikolai Ugodnik.
• Saint Tikhon.
• Martyr Tryphon.
• Reverend Ephraim.

It is worth noting that prayers in churches in front of the icons of all these saints worked incredible miracles. It has been repeatedly noted that people who asked them for help actually received it. Sometimes situations were seemingly hopeless, but suddenly a way out appeared precisely after reading a prayer for depression. To decide on the choice of a miracle worker, you should briefly know the history of each of them.

mother of God

The Mother of God has a special meaning among Orthodox Christians. An incredible number of different icons were painted with her image, some of which are miraculous. It is believed that a person who asks the Mother of God for help will definitely receive it, she hears everyone and never refuses help, but only when it is really needed.

As for this situation, it would be correct for a Christian to read the sacred text in front of the “Unexpected Joy” icon. In the case of reading a sincere prayer in front of this icon, a person returns to his normal existence, he acquires inner spiritual strength and mental balance. The Orthodox gets rid of the depressive state and continues a normal life.

Matrona of Moscow

She is also considered one of the strongest saints who helps everyone in need. Matrona was born completely blind, and she has never seen this world. But almost from childhood she had the gift of foresight and healing. Matrona devoted her entire earthly life to helping other people, she did not refuse anyone and did everything in her power.

You can pray in front of the icon of the Matrona of Moscow directly at home or in church. If possible, it is highly recommended to come to the relics of Matrona. Hundreds of Orthodox Christians come to this place every day and ask her for help to this day. But, if this is not possible, then you can read a prayer for despondency, depression, melancholy and despair at home in front of the icon.

John of Kronstadt

John was born in the Far North of Russia into the family of a poor rural worker. From an early age, the future saint was able to experience all the harsh conditions of life. Living in a poor family, the young man fully learned what a life full of poverty, tears and despair is. Such living conditions made John a rather withdrawn person, but at the same time he had a compassionate love for the poor.

Due to the lack of material wealth, he did not play toys and other children's games that were available to his peers. However, he never carried God in his heart. John loved nature; it gave him spiritual strength and inner balance.

His poverty, and he began to learn to read and write. After some time, John enters the academy and a little later becomes a priest. Throughout the rest of his life, he helped all the people who asked him for help, he did everything in his power.

That is why a powerful prayer for depression to this saint helps people who have lost vital energy due to financial failures.

Nikolai Ugodnik

Even from infancy, Nikolai was a very religious person; he observed fasting from childhood. At the age of 10, he began to study the Divine Scripture, he could spend whole days in the temple without leaving it, there he prayed all the time.

At a very young age he became a priest, and for some time the fame of the young but very wise priest spread throughout the country. A large number of Orthodox Christians came to the temple where Nicholas served and asked for his blessing. He spoke rather long and competent speeches, which were more suitable not for a young man, but for a wise old man. He read a very large number of books - both religious and scientific, and therefore differed from a large number of people in his incredible education.

Then throughout his life he helped various people. He gave instructions in difficult moments, and when necessary, he helped them financially. There is a well-known story when one man was ready to send his daughters to a brothel because of terrible financial problems. When Nikolai found out about this, he threw money at them, thereby saving the girls from a bitter fate. The saint also helped people who were illegally convicted and performed many different good deeds.

Therefore, every Orthodox Christian, when reading a prayer for melancholy and depression, can do this before. It is worth noting that the sacred text is best read in church, in peace and quiet.

Saint Tikhon

A very powerful prayer for despair and depression is read to Saint Tikhon, who delivers those in need from such mental illness. A distinctive feature of such prayer is its privacy. It is necessary to read the sacred text at home in front of the icon, and it is advisable to ask for help in complete silence.

How to pray correctly?

After you have chosen which saint to read a prayer for depression, you need to know how to pronounce it correctly so that your requests are heard. Ideally, it is necessary to visit the relics of a saint and ask for help directly at the burial site. But, unfortunately, not every person has such an opportunity.

However, almost anyone can visit the temple; to do this, they need to pray directly in front of the icon of the saint and ask him to give spiritual strength that will help overcome this moral illness. Before reading a prayer for depression, you should light a candle and only then begin to communicate with the saints.

At home, prayer will also be heard; the main thing is to light a candle in front of the icon, put a glass of holy water and read the prayer. You need to read with understanding and with pure intentions, and upon completion you need to drink a sip of holy water and cross yourself.

Another important factor is sincerity. When a Christian demands help and tells him indicatively what he needs, then in this case there is no need to expect a miracle. It is extremely important to read the sacred test sincerely, with a pure soul and heart. Also, you should not hope that after the first reading a miracle will happen immediately. The Lord knows better than us when and at what time a person really needs help.

What to do if prayer doesn't help?

Do not despair when you have been reading a prayer for depression for a long time, and your moral state does not improve. First of all, you need to think about how you read the prayer, whether it really flows from your lips sincerely or whether there are notes of demand in the text.

It is also worth remembering what your lifestyle was like before you started asking the Saints. Moreover, if a person has never read daily prayers or visited temples, one should not hope that a miracle will happen the first time. You need to thank the Lord every day for everything he gives, and then a person, even without knowing it, will receive more vital energy.

Conclusion

When a person is in prolonged depression and professional psychologists cannot help in this situation, a significant part of the population resorts to prayer. It is worth noting that such a remedy is quite effective, because there are quite a large number of examples of physical and moral healing only from the fact that a Christian has become a truly religious person who has begun to carry God in his heart.

Give thanks to the Lord for everything you have, and periodically, when you really need it, ask for help.

In this chapter we will try to dwell in more detail on ways to heal nervousness, talk about a spiritual approach to this problem, talk about psychotherapy, introduce you to some techniques of psychological self-help, and provide recommendations for health benefits.

Spiritual healer

The only correct path to healing from neuroses lies through the true Orthodox faith, repentance and correction of one’s life according to the commandments of God. The main thing for a person is to understand the sinful origins of his illness, to deeply understand his weakness, to hate the demonic sins of pride, vanity, anger, despondency, lies, fornication; want to change yourself, turn to the Lord with sincere repentance.
It is absolutely necessary for the sick to attend Orthodox services, especially on Sundays and holidays, and to participate in the Sacraments of the Church - Repentance (confession) and Communion. In the prayer that the priest reads before confession, there are these words: “You came to the spiritual hospital, so that you do not leave unhealed” - that is, “You came to the spiritual hospital, so you do not leave unhealed.” One must resort to the Holy Sacraments often and with contrition of heart, deep faith and trust in the mercy of God.
It is imperative to read the Holy Scriptures, especially the Gospel, and fulfill the commandments of Christ that are contained in them. “Of all the ailments that burden human nature, there is not a single illness, either mental or physical, that could not receive healing from Scripture” (St. John Chrysostom).
Invaluable help is provided by patristic literature, which provides ideal role models, shows the true purpose of man, the greatness of moral beauty, patience and perseverance when encountering difficulties.
Spiritual life is impossible without fasting and prayer. “This generation is driven out only by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21). It is good, with the blessing of your confessor, to memorize individual psalms and prayers. The role of prayer in finding and maintaining inner peace is very great. Elder Sampson (Sievers) argued that the peace of mind of one who constantly prays is completely independent of the external situation.
Visiting holy places and Orthodox monasteries will strengthen the soul. Commemoration at the Divine Liturgy and prayer services will bring great benefit; regular consumption of Epiphany water with prosphora, a piece of artos; sprinkling with holy water the home, the patient himself, and his personal belongings. Frequent communications with pious Orthodox Christians will have a beneficial effect.
It is necessary to develop vigilant attention towards yourself. Saint Ignatius (Brianchaninov) wrote: “The soul of all exercises about the Lord is attention. Without attention, these exercises are fruitless and dead.”
Constant self-control is required, including monitoring your thoughts, because every bad deed is usually preceded by a bad thought. You should resolutely cut off everything negative, sinful, abominable, not enter into any conversations with sinful thoughts, but immediately turn to the Lord in prayer for help, asking Him for help and support. In the Orthodox Church there is a whole teaching on how to fight sin at its very origin, at the level of thought.
"...The method of the formation of sin from thought into deed is defined with precision by the Holy Fathers, and the guilt of everyone in this course of action of the moment is also determined with precision. The whole course of the case is depicted as follows: first there is an excuse, then attention, then pleasure, followed by desire , from it determination, and, finally, action (see Philotheus of Sinai. Philokalia, vol. 3, chapter 34 ff.) The further a moment is from the outcome and the closer to the end, the more significant, depraved and sinful it is. guilt is in the case, and it is almost not in the pretext.
A preposition is a simple representation of a thing, whether from the action of the senses or from the action of memory and imagination, presented to our consciousness. There is no sin here when the birth of images is not in our power. Sometimes, however, guilt passes here indirectly, when, for example, a seductive image comes to mind because of the permission given to dreams. An image is often evoked spontaneously; then, according to its quality, this matter becomes a sin, for a person is obliged to keep his mind in Divine things.
Attention is the establishment of consciousness or the eye of the mind on the born image in order to examine it, as if to talk with it. This is slowness in a single or polysyllabic thought. This action is more in the power of man, for an image born against the will can be immediately expelled. That is why it is more guilty. He who inwardly looks at a criminal object exposes the bad mood of the heart. He is like one who introduces an unclean animal into a clean living quarter, or places a disgusting wicked person together with honest guests. Sometimes, it is true, an object attracts attention with its news and astoundingness, but everything, after its impurity and charm is recognized, must be driven out, for otherwise consent will be involved, and from being involuntary, this matter will become voluntary.
In general, this moment is very important in moral life. He stands at the transition to business. He who drove away thoughts extinguished all warfare and stopped all production of sin. That’s why it’s advisable to pay all your attention to your thoughts and fight them. All the rules of the holy ascetics are primarily directed here. From here it goes without saying what price the sins of imagination and self-willed dreams bear. Where it pleases them, there they sin. But this sin is more sinful if some external means are used, for example, reading, hearing, seeing, talking. These latter are also assessed as cases of sin.
Delight is an application to an object following the mind and heart. It comes when, as a result of attention to an object, we begin to like it, and we find pleasure in looking at it intelligently, cherishing it in thought. Delight in sinful objects is already downright sin. For if our heart must be devoted to God, then any combination of it with other objects is a violation of fidelity to Him, a break in the union, betrayal, spiritual adultery. One must keep one's heart pure, because because of it the thoughts of the mind become evil (Matthew 15:18), when, that is, it begins to delight in them lawlessly.
There are, however, delightful movements of the flesh and heart, which are in no way dependent on arbitrariness, as are all movements of needs. But even they, innocent at the beginning, immediately become not innocent, as soon as they are recognized and hide behind favor towards them, or consent to illegal satisfaction with them. At first they are natural movements, and then they become moral. Therefore, they say, if you notice them, become indignant. From here it follows naturally what we should think about aesthetic pleasures. They are criminal to the extent that their content or form is incompatible with the purity of heart and morals. The same applies to the masterful works of artisans: to approve them with the mind for their suitability for the purpose is a proper thing; and surrendering oneself to their effect, for the sake of empty momentary pleasure, is bad. And in general, when going to bed, we pray for forgiveness if we saw someone else’s kindness and were wounded in our hearts by it - so that we can thereby cleanse our hearts of all hobbies during the day. In many cases, however, pleasure bursts forth either necessarily or uncontrollably. There is one rule: do not deign, reject, be indignant.
From pleasure there is one step to desire. The difference between them is that the soul that delights remains in itself, on the contrary, the soul that desires inclines towards the object, has a desire for it, and begins to look for it. It cannot in any way be innocent, for it is accomplished by consent or is born contemporaneously with it, as if from under it; consent is always in our will.
Determination is distinguished from desire by another feature, namely in that the composition or condition of its birth includes confidence in possibility and a vision of means. The person who wishes has expressed his consent to the matter, but has not yet come up with anything and has not taken any steps to achieve his goal; For the one who has decided, everything has already been examined and decided; all that remains is to set in motion the members of the body or other forces to carry out affairs accordingly. When, finally, this too is accomplished, then all the work of sin ends and the work appears - the fruit of corruption, conceived within and giving birth to lawlessness without" (St. Theophan the Recluse).
You should definitely avoid all kinds of “far-fetched ideas,” fantasies, and sterile imagination, especially of a sensual nature. Remember the Gospel: “But let your word be: yes, yes; no, no; and anything beyond this is from the evil one” (Matthew 5:37).
Everything that happened must be accepted as a fact that happened, and not torment yourself with a useless struggle with ghosts. “What happened, happened, Lord, Thy will be done.”
We must try, with God's help, to develop meekness and humility in ourselves, for which we must never raise our voices unless absolutely necessary. “The proud, the self-praising, the narcissistic dead man and the one abandoned by God raises his voice” (Elder Sampson Sievers). You cannot allow yourself to use rude and obscene words, scream, or ridicule anyone.
You should unlearn judging and discussing others (except for cases that are useful in edifying and pedagogical terms, as well as naturally arising judgments about something or someone, which is not condemnation). If in your presence someone is reproached or condemned, then you must admit that you yourself suffer from the same shortcomings, and turn away the conversation, and if this is impossible, simply leave. The Holy Fathers allowed only righteous anger, that is, directed at their own sins and imperfections.
For everything that happens, you should blame only yourself, then balance, mental peace and tranquility will be established in your soul. “If everyone reproached themselves, then peace would prevail,” wrote Archbishop Arseny (Zhadanovsky), “self-reproach allows us to calmly endure insults and not feel them.” One must consider oneself fully worthy of mistakes, criticism, mistakes, falls, and, moreover, realize oneself is worse and more unworthy than others. In this case, any desire to be angry with anyone around you really disappears.
It is important to get rid of the habit of verbosity, arguing over trifles, and entering into word disputes. “It is always undesirable to enter into a dispute” (Metropolitan Filaret (Drozdov).
It is imperative to renounce everything false, deliberate, theatrical, all pretense, exaggeration, insincerity, that is, everything sinful, even in small things.
Archbishop John (Shakhovskoy) said that achieving true spiritual peace is unthinkable without deep metaphysical dissatisfaction with this earthly life. Indeed, the search for blessings and heavenly life on earth sooner or later leads to deep disappointments and constant fluctuations in the spiritual world.
And of course, it is necessary to improve your lifestyle as much as possible. This refers to the daily routine, reasonable fasting, abandonment of the habit of alcohol and tobacco and other excesses; liberation from TV drug addiction, political or other addictions, etc.

Can a blind man lead a blind man?

Traditionally deals with the treatment of neuroses psychotherapy. In ancient times they said that the art of medicine rests on three “pillars”: a knife, medicinal herbs and the word. A knife is a prototype of surgery, a medicinal herb is a collective image of medicinal forms, and a word is understood as a living, emotional attitude of a doctor towards a patient.
The Holy Orthodox Church has at all times denounced various kinds of occult and witchcraft practices. In the "Book of Rules", based on the decisions of the Ecumenical Councils and the instructions of the holy fathers and which is a set of church Orthodox canons and dogmas, this activity is clearly and clearly defined as satanic, destructive. And naturally, no confessor will ever advise you to seek help from a healer, fortune teller or sorcerer. But turning to a professional psychotherapist for help might be a blessing. And here the patient often faces serious danger.
Psychotherapy is a special medical specialty associated not so much with treatment in the usual sense of the word, but with the impact on the personality of the sick person, on his soul. She sets good goals for herself, strives to console a grieving person and help him find peace of mind. However, in practice, a difficult situation has arisen due to the fact that, while being in close contact with the human soul and trying to heal it, this area of ​​medicine turns out to be spiritually bankrupt and has no moral guidelines. You cannot ease the spiritual burden of another person without having your own spiritual values. "Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will not both fall into a pit?" (Luke 6:39).
A doctor may have a doctorate, the title of professor or academician, but this does not change the essence if he is a non-Orthodox person, of an alien spirit. His efforts will not give the soul the necessary guidance; moreover, they can lead it into the abyss of grave sins, and the sorrows of the sick person will only increase. How many times have people who have suffered from grief-psychotherapists, psychoanalysts, hypnotists, etc. turned to us for help?
Spiritual uncertainty, the inconsistency of psychology and psychotherapy, based on moral “pluralism,” allowed the penetration of a huge number of occult psychotechnologies - Western, Eastern and “home-grown”, which can clearly be called morally unacceptable.
One of the principles of modern psychological practices is “the end justifies the means.” Doctors often give “advice” that, instead of benefiting the soul, brings obvious harm to the soul. More than once we have encountered situations where doctors suggested that patients have extramarital affairs - with the goal of supposedly normalizing family conflicts, that is, fornication was simply recommended. A person is advised to lie or manipulate people if it will bring him some benefit (there are many similar recommendations in Dale Carnegie’s books).
The tragedy of modern science about the soul is that it indulges a person’s sins and passions, strives in every possible way to raise his self-esteem, or focuses on meditation, mental self-regulation through states of altered consciousness. The training of future psychotherapists is carried out on an immoral basis. Thus, the computer exam test is literally replete with all sorts of obscenities. In order not to be unfounded, we will give an example. To the question: “What would you advise a patient with psychasthenia to read to revive his sluggish subcortex?” - correct answer: "Works by Guy de Maupassant." Comments, as they say, are unnecessary.
We conducted an interesting and in many ways revealing study several years ago during a seminar on psychology and psychotherapy. Its participants were asked to remember and write down 10-12 events of the last five years that left the most vivid trace in their memory. These records were then distributed into four sections: health, activities, contacts, and spiritual values.
The first section consisted of events related to health, physical activity, sports, etc. The second - with professional, creative, scientific, pedagogical activities, as well as self-education, hobbies, etc. Contacts included a wide range of diverse communication, from business to personal. Spiritual values ​​included everything related to the problems of religiosity, worldview, as well as impressions of spiritual books read, spiritually beneficial meetings, etc.
A total of 205 responses were received, of which only 4 were classified in the sphere of “spiritual values”, and only in two cases was it about Orthodox spirituality.
This is such a gloomy picture. Specialists called upon to heal the soul are least interested in this very soul (their own and others’). The spirituality of Holy Rus' once again was not in demand; the light of Orthodoxy did not attract the attention of pundits and most practitioners.
The doctor does not choose his patients. Most often, people who come to see us are non-believers or those who do not know the true God - infidels, neo-pagans. But there are many who are in search of the Truth. That is why the psychotherapist has great responsibility as a doctor and a person. His task is to help the patient, constrained by illness and conflicts, troubles and losses.
For a doctor who has devoted himself to psychotherapy, it is important to have his own spiritual values ​​that would determine his work with patients. Without his own, let us add, Orthodox, spiritual platform, he will not be able to distinguish situational (psychosocial) and biological causes of diseases from existential, ideological ones. If at the reception there is a person whose soul seeks to find the Lord, then the Orthodox psychotherapist should help him in this.
The doctor, of course, does not replace the priest, he only precedes him, sometimes representing a “barrier” that prevents the patient from falling into even greater temptations and sins - drunkenness, fornication, suicide.
Archpriest G. Dyachenko, in one of his theological books, published for the laity at the beginning of the century and now republished, wrote lines that can define the essence of Orthodox psychotherapy: “Confess your sins to each other,” said the holy Apostle James. What do we do from this commandment? We are told that it is enough to confess to God through the sacrament of repentance. To be forgiven - yes, without a doubt. But besides this, you will see that in the essence of a person there is a secret but urgent need to be directly in front of a person.
The Light sees only the outer and superficial side of our life, the side under which it appears in a favorable form. But there are moments when it is necessary for reality to be revealed, for the essence of this life to be revealed, so that at least one of our kind knows everything that is hidden in us by need and temptation. What pushes us to do this is not frankness, but a deep need to be understood, relieved, consoled; and don’t we know how much beneficial and saving there is in such confessions? Don’t we know that some temptations that surround us, vague and vague, lose their power and charm just by conveying them in words? Don’t we know how much strength and consolation a well-educated heart that listens and understands us can give us?..
Will he find it with you, my brother? Will he find mercy willing to listen enough to keep his confession? Will he find that serious attention that no one shies away from and which alone deserves trust?
Unfortunately, today Christians are a minority among psychiatrists and psychotherapists. This, in our opinion, is one of the reasons for the low effectiveness of help for neuroses. Psychotherapy, which tries to help a restless soul in various ways, today has about a thousand psychocorrectional techniques, but quality cannot be replaced by quantity. True healing from spiritual grief can only occur through repentance, which requires spiritual effort and is unusual for a large part of our contemporaries, including doctors. In this regard, it becomes clear why various rational and emotional therapeutic influences are far from omnipotent and bring only a temporary effect.
To summarize, we can say that only that psychotherapeutic help will be truly effective and useful, which leads to Christ and is carried out by an Orthodox doctor or psychologist who repents and corrects his life. In this case, the specialist’s word will be supported by the gracious power of God and will comfort the sick person and show the way to the One who is the Truth, the Way and the Life!
Give us, Lord, wisdom and strength to heal spiritual ailments for Your glory!

Psychological self-help

Very important on the roads psychological self-help is the patient’s correct assessment of the causes of his own falls and blunders. Often we try to justify ourselves and look for reasons in other people or external circumstances. Patristic wisdom teaches us never to engage in self-justification, for man is by nature selfish and will always find a way to distort the true state of things to please his alibi (for example: even if I got excited and was rude, but I am also a living person, but he should have... . etc., gradually becoming more and more convinced of the guilt of the other and justifying oneself).
Instead of self-justification, it is more correct to blame yourself, to sincerely try to understand the reasons for the fall, which usually lie in selfishness, vanity and especially pride. “Where the fall occurs, there pride first takes root; for pride is the harbinger of the fall” (Reverend Nicodemus the Holy Mountain).
One of the effective psychological techniques is rationalization. First of all, you need to calm down and pray; then take a blank sheet of paper, a fountain pen and carefully, soberly analyze the current difficult or conflict situation, write down the main causes of the conflict and possible ways to resolve this conflict, weigh the pros and cons, consider the needs and concerns of all participants in the current misunderstanding, find the right arguments in favor of endurance, self-control, humility.
Along the way, you can discern some previously unnoticed circumstances and significant psychological nuances. The final stage of rationalization should be the adoption of a definite decision, since the longer the vague, ambivalent attitude towards the conflict persists, the more difficult it is to resolve it, and therefore, to restore mental balance. The enemy of our salvation is always trying to deprive us of spiritual peace, confuse us, and incline us to despondency. Let us remember this and be sober.
Forethought. Despite all the diversity of life events, many of them are repeated many times and represent a kind of “cliché”. We know from experience that you can “stumble,” lose peace of mind, or fall into sin regularly, in the same situations. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself in advance for difficulties, important conversations, meetings, and important steps. Of course, it is impossible to take everything into account, but much can be foreseen. Moreover, one should prepare not only by reflection, but also by prayer, conversation with the confessor, his advice and blessing.
Saint Theophan advises: “In the morning, through prayer, sit down and figure out what you need to do during the day, where to be, what and with whom to meet, and in relation to this, determine in advance what to think where, what to say, how to hold your soul and body, etc. This means that a true Christian must control himself, be in charge of all the movements of his soul, and not allow them to happen by themselves, as if without his knowledge. He must be the ruler of everything that happens within him, the ruler of his own strength."
Switching- a simple and effective technique. Who doesn’t know how pleasant it is to walk along a forest path, listen to birds singing, and admire meadow flowers. One person enjoys working in the country, another enjoys meeting with friends and spending an evening in cordial and soul-beneficial communication, etc. There are many similar recommendations; With careful attention to oneself, everyone can continue this list. The ability to relax for the benefit of the soul is wisdom that is worth mastering.

Medication assistance

A few words about the use of medications for neuroses (tranquilizers, antidepressants). In the case of neurotic conditions, when the symptoms of the disease directly depend on psychological causes and life circumstances, medications play a supporting role, easing internal tension and dulling the severity of complaints. They are usually prescribed for a short period. The main condition for recovery will be the search for an optimal solution to the conflict, and in spiritual terms - humility and repentance.
Helps well with neuroses and neurosis-like conditions phytotherapy, that is, the use of medicinal plants for medicinal purposes. However, we note that it does not eliminate the causes of neuroses and is only a good symptomatic (eliminating symptoms) remedy.
Traditionally, valerian root, peppermint (leaves), hops (cones), motherwort (herb), cudweed (herb), hawthorn (flowers), chamomile, caraway fruits are used. Here is an approximate list of sedatives that you can use yourself - they are available without a prescription: valerian extract (or tincture), valerianahel, persen, glycine, motherwort extract (or tincture), novo-passit, deprim, valoserdin, sedative preparations No. 2, 3 , Corvalol, Corvaldine, Adonis-bromine, Validol, Valocardine, Zelenin drops. The method of administration and dosage are indicated in the inserts for the drug or on the packaging.
Raisins, dried apricots, and honey have a beneficial effect on the nervous system. Let's say a little more about medical treatment. Its effectiveness is well known; it gives very good results with neurasthenia, nervous overstrain, after performing long and psychologically difficult work.
Bulgarian scientist Stoimir Mladenov proposes the following medical treatment regimen: 100-120 g of flower bee honey per day for 2.5-3 weeks. In the morning and evening you should take 30 g of honey, and in the afternoon - 40. In the evening, honey should be diluted in a glass of cool water and drunk half an hour before bedtime. After 10-12 days from the start of treatment, patients or persons with pre-morbid disorders, as a rule, sleep well, they become more energetic, and their performance increases.
It would be useful to remind you about the benefits of hardening the body. Achievable physical labor plays an important role, especially for young people. Unworked flesh confuses the soul with irritability and worthless thoughts.
Let's look in more detail at insomnia, since complaints about it are found in the majority of patients suffering from neurotic disorders. Sleep is a sensitive moral barometer. It changes (worsens, improves) depending on our spiritual and mental state. I have trouble sleeping after unkind conversations and sins that torment my soul. The Lord provides good, sound sleep.
To those patients whose hearts are open to faith, we repeat well-known truths: it is necessary to pray morning and evening (it is known from experience that if for some reason you sacrifice prayers for the coming sleep, you will sacrifice sound sleep), read the Gospel, baptize before going to bed, your room and bed, drink consecrated water and sprinkle your home with it, call upon the saints and your guardian angel for help, invite a priest to the house to bless your home if it is not consecrated. And the most important thing is to confess and partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ. Many people who begin to do this with faith and trust in the Lord feel a significant improvement in their well-being and gain peace of mind.
Psychological advice may be like this. Firstly, allow yourself to stay awake, do not overload yourself with thoughts about sleep and its speedy onset. After all, often a person suffers more not from insomnia, but from worries about it. Late evening is a time for quiet affairs and leisurely conversations. Take a walk before going to bed, avoid a large dinner, and ventilate the room. Take a warm shower or soak your feet in the bath.
Here's another tip: brew two teaspoons of hop cones in a glass of boiling water, leave for 4 hours, strain, drink a glass at night. Before going to bed, you can anoint your temples with lavender oil or place 3-5 drops of lavender oil on a piece of sugar and suck on it before going to bed. It is useful to attach a linen bag with dried valerian roots at the head of the bed. There are observations that a dark-colored bed helps calm the nervous system.
Pharmacies sell sedatives that can be used to calm and improve sleep. A medical consultation would also be useful. Sleeping pills should only be used as prescribed by a doctor; You can use decoctions and sedative infusions yourself.
Remember, mental and physical health is a gift from God, and it should be treated with care and attention.

Problems in relationships with children, problems at work, lack of funds are the causes of irritability and neurosis. Tension is growing, solving problems seems unrealistic, you feel “backed into a corner.” You cannot make an adequate decision. The thought in my head is “I’m going crazy!”

Often this thought arises during a mental disorder. The appearance of fear leads the psyche to an extreme point of tension. Concentration is reduced to zero. Communication with others becomes impossible, and irritability further increases. A person’s mental health raises doubts among his relatives, friends, and work colleagues. This thought haunts, becomes obsessive, displacing reality from consciousness. The fear of going crazy for a long time and firmly settles in the patient’s subconscious, so long that the patient himself believes that he is going crazy.

Fear, if it does not belong to a more complex disease, is considered to be a neurosis. Sometimes it is very difficult to get out of a state of neurosis on your own. Negative emotions accumulate without any way out. As a result, the mental state worsens.

There are some types of mental disorders in medical practice. These include psychotic, borderline, and neurotic disorders. Psychotic disorders include acute mental disorders, including schizophrenia. A person susceptible to such a diagnosis must be inpatient treatment under the supervision of a specialist and take medication. It should be noted that patients with these symptoms lack self-criticism.

Borderline mental disorders include disorders that imply personality changes in the psyche, difficulties in communicating with others, difficulties in understanding oneself, and a biased assessment of reality. However, this state is characterized by the presence of criticism towards oneself. Mental disorders, neuroses, are associated with psychological problems. The patient feels depressed, unsure of himself and his abilities, and suffers from depression. The fear of going crazy during neurosis is present in the patient’s subconscious, but the conscious fear of madness itself means a critical attitude towards oneself.

In this case, fear is considered as a mental disorder. A patient who is truly going crazy is unable to realize this. Therefore, neurosis must be treated in the first stages, using the help of a specialist and, if necessary, resorting to drug treatment. Otherwise, the situation may become, to put it mildly, depressing. You can go crazy from neurosis if you don’t seek the help of a specialist.

Obsessive states and their causes.

If you do not use the services of a specialist and do not treat the neurosis, the condition may worsen significantly and become obsessive. In this state, the level of anxiety increases, thoughts and actions become obsessive. Similar conditions can arise on different soils. Anxiety for children, problems at work, the death of a loved one, just a small list of negative factors that have a detrimental effect on our psyche. They cause neurotic disorders and lead to the appearance of obsessive thoughts, fears and phobias. The patient’s attempts to get rid of obsessive thoughts do not give the desired result, and further aggravate his situation.

Fear intensifies, a person cannot adequately react to what is happening. Two factors are frightening: the very nature of the thought and its obsession. The feeling of fear grows, the person begins to fear himself. The thought of doing something unpredictable, harming yourself and your loved ones is frightening. In such situations, many begin to hide things with which, in their opinion, they can harm others.

They try not to touch sharp objects, are afraid to pick up matches, and do not allow the opportunity to use them. The knowledge that the situation is under your own control eliminates feelings of fear. But the more he tries to resist the situation, his fear of an obsessive state, the more the obsessive thought takes root in his subconscious.

How to get out of neurosis.

First of all, you should use the services of a psychotherapist and psychologist. When talking with a psychologist, you can tell him about painful problems that torment you, because often unresolved life situations can cause neurosis and, as a result, the fear of going crazy from obsessive thoughts. A more complete story will help the specialist make a correct assessment of your condition and, if possible, remove the irritating factor, or try to find another way to solve the problem.

It should be remembered that you are trying to control your condition. Consequently, you are critical of your feeling of fear, perceive your condition and try to prevent it. This suggests that your fear of going crazy from obsessive states does not pose a real threat, so it can be considered a manifestation of anxiety. Experts advise that while standing, allow a thought to arise and not try to drive it out of the subconscious. When the state of anxiety is minimized, you will calm down and will not fight obsessive thoughts.

You won't take them so seriously. Eventually, the feeling of fear will go away on its own. In order to get rid of fear, you need to increase your self-esteem more, constantly work on yourself and your psyche. Although many these days would prefer the help of friends to the help of an experienced psychologist. As a rule, there are no unsolvable problems. Many seek the help of a specialist in extreme cases, when the disease has become protracted. They have been depressed for a long time.

How to overcome neurosis. Experience after divorce

As a rule, depression, neurosis and other mental disorders arise against the background of numerous stresses. One of these stresses can be divorce. Divorce, the severance of a relationship, is perceived differently by each party. However, the undeniable fact is that breaking up a relationship is highly stressful. How to survive a breakup with a loved one? How to save yourself? The psychological characteristics of each person are different. Many may say: “He’s gone, let him go!” More vulnerable emotional individuals will be tormented by thoughts, torture themselves, look for reasons and blame themselves for what is happening. How to overcome neurosis after divorce? How can you survive and learn to overcome difficulties alone?

You just need to experience this situation, experience it as inevitable. Having explained to yourself that your relationship has simply outlived its usefulness, you no longer find meaning in it. At the first stage of a breakup, you experience a feeling of emptiness and loneliness. You are left alone, without the support of a loved one, perhaps without funds, without the desire to live and start something over again. Fear of reality haunts me. You start thinking, replaying the situation, and the more you think about it, the more you don’t find a way out, you simply drive yourself into a dead end.

Drops and sedatives no longer help, anxiety grows, and fear of reality becomes a reality. Stop! Don't bring yourself to the point of neurosis. Just let go of the person close to you. Decide for yourself that it will be better this way. After a divorce, many women become depressed and stop taking care of themselves. This is a big mistake. Visit a salon, go to the theater with your friends, get your hair done. Be amazed by your beauty! And believe me, your life will sparkle with new colors.

Prayers for depression and neurosis

Psychoses and various mental illnesses are also called mental disorders. This is how human nature works. We are always looking for answers to complex questions, instead of just living and enjoying life. We are trying to find ourselves, to know what, unfortunately, we cannot do. We are tormented by questions that we cannot get an answer to. As a result, we are faced with a lack of understanding from those around us, we withdraw into ourselves and cannot find a way out of the current situation, for which only we ourselves are to blame. As a result, mental illness, mental disorders, phobias, and depression appear.

Trying to cope on your own with your illness, the fear of going crazy from obsessive thoughts, insoluble problems, it is possible to alleviate your suffering not only through medication, but also through prayer. Spiritual roots are inherent in every disease. Along with taking medications, prayers help in the main treatment for neurosis. Prayers for depression and neurosis are one of the components in the treatment of mental disorders. By turning to God through prayer, a person prepares himself for the best and faith in recovery increases. You want to get better. So he will be! One of the most powerful medicines is faith.

Faith in God, in His mercy and in your healing. Many people, not unreasonably, believe that many trials are sent to them to strengthen their faith in God. Prayer is a conversation with God. Through prayer, a sick person asks the Lord for healing. Standing in front of an icon in a church or temple, you feel a kind of protection. The greatness of the icon, its energy is transmitted to you. Anxious thoughts visit you less, you feel a sense of peace and peace of mind. Those suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder are advised to pray to the Most Holy Theotokos, asking for forgiveness and peace of mind.

Is it possible to cure neurosis forever?

Of course you can. Our body is capable of creating miracles. To get rid of neurosis, first of all, you need to create favorable conditions, i.e. If possible, remove the irritating factor; as a rule, this can be very difficult to do due to many factors.

It’s easier to change your attitude towards the factor that irritates you, or try to find a different way to solve a problem that has been bothering you for a long time. Change your routine, try to get up later than usual once again, even if it’s 10 minutes, but they will be yours.

Walk outdoors more often. Try to find the positive in everything. Find your happiness in the smiles of your children and grandchildren. Get a dog! Be happy!

Prayers for fear, fear and anxiety

Anxiety, night terrors, obsessive thoughts - everyone has experienced it. Even in ancient times, people knew that the most effective remedy against mental anxiety and bad thoughts was prayer.

When you are in mental confusion, it can be 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, anxiety, and thoughts that confuse the soul.

Fear of people

Strong prayer for fear and anxiety - David's Psalms.

King David, who lived in pre-Christian times on the land of present-day Israel, suffered persecution from his own son Absalom, who also wanted to reign. Once, while hiding from pursuit, David wrote the 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.

The Davidic Prayer can still be heard every day in an Orthodox church during evening services.

You can pray in both Slavic and Russian.

Unfounded fears

Every person experiences dark thoughts from time to time. It seems that nothing has happened, but my heart is tormented by panic and premonitions 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 about to happen to Her Son, Christ. Her help is strong in similar situations that happen to people.

In the 8th century, there lived a Greek monk, Theosterictus, who suffered from bouts of fear and anxiety. To get rid of them, Theosterikt compiled a Canon for the Mother of God for prayerful assistance, “read in spiritual sorrow and situation.”

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

By reading the canon every day, believers truly get rid of fear, anxiety and worry.

SINGED IN EVERY SOUL AND CIRCUMSTANCE

The creation of Theostiriktus the monk

Irmos: Having passed through water like dry land, and having escaped the evil of Egypt, the Israeli cried out: Let us drink to our Deliverer and our God.

Chorus: Most Holy Theotokos, save us.

Contained by many misfortunes, I resort to You, seeking salvation: O Mother of the Word and the Virgin, save me from heavy and cruel things.

Passions trouble me and many despondencies fill my soul; die, O Young Lady, with the silence of Your Son and God, All-Immaculate.

Glory: Having given birth to Thee and God, I pray, O Virgin, be delivered from the cruel ones; For now, running to You, I stretch out both my soul and my thoughts.

And now: Sick in body and soul, grant the visitation of the Divine and providence from You, the only Mother of God, as the good Mother of the Good.

Irmos: Supreme Creator of the heavenly circle, Lord, and the Creator of the Church, You confirm me in Your love, the desires of the land, the true affirmation, the only Human-lover.

I offer the intercession and protection of my life to Thee, the Virgin Mother of God: You feed me to the refuge of Thy good, guilty, faithful Affirmation, the only All-Singing One.

I pray, Virgin, to destroy the storm of my spiritual confusion and sorrow: You, O Bride of God, gave birth to Christ, the Chief of Silence, the only Most Pure One.

Glory: Having given birth to good and guilty benefactors, pour out riches of good deeds to everyone: for all you can do, as you have given birth to the mighty one in the strength of Christ, O blessed One.

And now: You are tormented by fierce ailments and painful passions, O Virgin.

Help me: for I know You’s infinite healing, Treasure, Immaculate, indescribable.

Warm prayer, and an insurmountable wall, a source of mercy, a refuge for the world, we diligently cry out to Thee: Mother of God, Lady, advance, and deliver us from troubles, the only one who will soon intercede.

Irmos I have heard, O Lord, the observation of Your mystery, I have understood Your works, and I have glorified Your Divinity.

The confusion of my passions, the helmsman who gave birth to the Lord, and the storm that calmed my sins, O Bride of God.

Grant me the abyss of Thy mercy, Who gave birth to the Blessed One, and the Savior of all who sing to Thee.

Enjoying, O Most Pure One, Your gifts, we sing in thanksgiving, Our Lady leading Thee.

Glory: On the bed of my illness and infirmity, for those who lie down, as God-loving, help the Mother of God, the only Ever-Virgin.

And now: Hope and confirmation, and salvation, the immovable wall that belongs to You, the All-Singing One, we get rid of every inconvenience.

Irmos Enlighten us with Your commandments, Lord, and with Your high arm grant us Your peace, O Lover of Mankind.

Fill, O Pure One, my heart with joy, Thy incorruptible joy that gives birth to joy, which gave birth to the Guilty One.

Deliver us from troubles, O Pure Mother of God, having given birth to eternal Deliverance and Peace, which prevails over all minds.

Glory: Resolve the darkness of my sins, Bride of God, with the enlightenment of Your Grace, Who gave birth to the Divine and Eternal Light.

And now: Heal, O Pure One, the infirmity of my soul, worthy of Thy visitation, and grant me health through Thy prayers.

Irmos: I will pour out a prayer to the Lord, and to Him I will proclaim my sorrows, for my soul is filled with evil, and my stomach is approaching hell, and I pray like Jonah: from aphids, O God, lift me up.

As if He saved death and aphids, He Himself gave birth to death, corruption and death my former nature, Virgin, pray to the Lord and Thy Son, to deliver me from the enemies of crime.

I am your representative of life, and my steadfast guardian, O Virgin, and I solve rumors of misfortunes, and drive away taxes from demons; and I always pray to deliver me from the aphids of my passions.

Glory: Like a wall of refuge for money-grubbers, and the all-perfect salvation of souls, and space in sorrow, O Youth, and with Thy enlightenment we ever rejoice: O Lady, save us now from passions and troubles.

And now: I now lie on my bed sick, and there is no healing for my flesh; but you who gave birth to the God and Savior of the world, and the Savior of ailments, I pray to You, the Good One: raise me from aphids and illnesses.

The intercession of Christians is shameless, the Intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but advance, as the Good One, to the aid of us who faithfully call Thee: hasten to prayer, and strive to supplicate, ever interceding, the Mother of God, who honor Thee.

Irmos: The youths who came from Judea, in Babylon, sometimes, by the faith of the Trinity, asked the fire of the fire, singing: God of the fathers, blessed art thou.

Just as you wanted to create our salvation, O Savior, you moved into the Virgin’s womb, and you showed the world the Representative: our father, God, blessed are you.

The Commander of mercy, Whom you gave birth to, Pure Mother, beg to be delivered from sins and spiritual impurities by faith, calling: our father, God, blessed are you.

Glory: The treasure of salvation and the source of incorruption, who gave birth to You, and the pillar of affirmation, and the door of repentance, you showed to those calling: our father, God, blessed are you.

And now: Bodily weaknesses and mental ailments, O Theotokos, with the love of those who approach Thy blood, O Virgin, vouchsafe to heal, Who gave birth to us the Savior Christ.

Irmos: Praise and extol the Heavenly King, Whom all the angels sing, praise and extol forever.

Do not despise those who demand help from You, O Virgin, who sing and extol You forever.

You heal the infirmity of my soul and bodily illnesses, O Virgin, that I may glorify You, Pure, forever.

Glory: You pour out a wealth of healings faithfully to those who sing Thee, O Virgin, and to those who extol Your ineffable Nativity.

And now: You drive away adversity, and you drive away passions, O Virgin: therefore we sing of You forever and ever.

Irmos: We truly confess You, the Mother of God, saved by You, Pure Virgin, with your disembodied faces magnifying You.

Do not turn away from the current of my tears, Even though you have taken away every tear from every face, the Virgin who gave birth to Christ.

Fill my heart with joy, O Virgin, who accepts the fulfillment of joy and consumes sinful sadness.

Be a refuge and intercession for those who come running to You, O Virgin, and an indestructible wall, a refuge and cover and joy.

Glory: Illuminate Your light with the dawns, O Virgin, driving away the darkness of ignorance, faithfully confessing Theotokos to You.

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

It happens that anxiety is so strong that you don’t have the strength to read for a long time.

In these cases, repeated repetition of the short prayer “Most Holy Theotokos, save me” or singing “My Blessed Queen” will help:

Fear of death

Every person experiences fear of death for several reasons:

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

They all stem from lack of faith in the will of God. At such moments, prayer helps against fear and anxiety caused by the expectation of death.

Many saints experienced similar states.

The Venerable Mary of Egypt was tormented by the fear of death, living for 17 years completely alone, in the desert, until the Mother of God Herself delivered her from spiritual confusion. The martyr Boniface, who loved various pleasures during his life, undoubtedly went to death when it came to confessing faith in Christ.

You can ask these saints for help in your own words or with special petitions:

Night terrors

When the day approaches evening and the surrounding environment becomes poorly distinguishable, an impressionable person is overcome by imaginary fears. Children are especially susceptible to this: their imagination draws monsters under the bed or ghosts outside the window.

An effective prayer against night fears caused by demons is the psalms of David “May 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.

Short prayers for nervousness and anxiety

In moments of particular anxiety and nervous tension, it is good to read short prayers that calm the feelings:

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

At the same time, you can finger the rosary, which helps you concentrate and calms your nerves.

Prayer is not a magic spell, but a testimony of a person’s faith in God.

When asking for the help of God and the saints, you need to try and live according to God’s commandments yourself. Then mental anxieties, phobias, obsessive thoughts and fears will go away without return, and every event in life will bring joy.

Prayers for neurosis

Prayer of St. Mary of Egypt

Ask us from the Most Merciful Master and Lord of faith for immaculate observance of our cities and villages, for the affirmation of our cities and villages, for deliverance from famine and destruction, for the afflicted, for consolation, for the sick - healing, for the fallen - rebellion, for the lost - strengthening, for prosperity and blessing in good deeds, for orphans and widows - intercession and for those who have departed from this life - eternal rest, but on the day of the Last Judgment, we will all be at the right hand of the country and hear the blessed voice of My Judge: come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world, and receive your abode there forever. Amen".

Prayer to the Holy Hieromartyr Hermogenes, Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'

Now look upon us too, your unworthy child, who call upon you with a tender soul and a contrite heart. Our strength has become impoverished within us, and the enemy’s trappings and snares have devastated us.

Help us, our intercessor!

Confirm us in the holy faith: teach us to always keep the commandments of God and all the traditions of the church, commanded from our fathers.

Be our shepherd, the archpastor, the spiritual leader of the warrior, the sick doctor, the sad comforter, the persecuted intercessor, the young mentor, the compassionate father of all and the warm prayer book for everything; for by your prayers, protected, we will unceasingly sing and glorify the All-Holy Name of the Life-Giving Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen".

How to get rid of neurosis prayer

The book by D. Avdeev is available at http://www.netda.ru/belka/text_mil/psihoterapia.htm#n1. But that's not all. He also has books (I read them in printed form, but I no longer have them) where neuroses are described in more detail. I read that there are priests who received psychological education before ordination. For example, priest Andrei Lorgus. You can find an interview with him at http://www.synergia.itn.ru/kerigma/psych/lorgus/PrichinNedover.htm and http://www.pravoslavie.ru/guest/lorgus.htm.

Recommendations where you can go for psychological support can be found at http://www.ortho-rus.ru/cgi-bin/ns_file.cgi?5+9999_1455 (but this is 2002, and psychological consultation for address http://www.fapsyrou.ru/consultnew.htm).

But be careful: not everyone who calls himself Orthodox, even a priest, is always right in such a new direction. Therefore, I would recommend that you find an experienced, authoritative priest (authoritative not so much among the laity, but from the Church), who would not lead you astray from the true Christian path, read spiritual literature yourself - Scripture, the Holy Fathers, etc. But moderation is needed everywhere , of course, I wouldn’t like to urge you to shy away from everyone.

when you felt good. Yes, you yourself know that you weren’t looking for it. It is necessary to realize your guilt before God, repent and reconcile with God, restore Peace with God through the Blood of His Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ. This is why the Son of God came into our world, to find and save the lost. And if you do not want to be reconciled with God, but only get rid of torment, then God is unlikely to hear you. Maybe for a while, to give you the opportunity in a calm situation to comprehend everything and think about how to continue to live, with or without God. Write, I will be glad to help.

a person who has consciously (voluntarily) renounced God (not necessarily a sorcerer) IS EXCLUDED FROM THE CHURCH UNTIL DEATH, ONLY BY DYING CAN RECEIVE COMMUNION THE LAST TIME.

“SEAL OF THE GIFT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT”

I quit smoking, but before I conquered this passion, more than one year passed, and this is simpler than the problem you have. The main thing is not to despair and, through faith and prayer, ask God to enlighten you and guide yourself on the true path.

The fact that you confessed and received communion is good. But try to do this regularly, at least once a month, and if possible, twice. Prepare for communion and confession (read the order for holy communion in the evening before communion, as well as the three canons for communion, a three-day strict fast is required).

In addition, follow the morning and evening prayer rules, buy a psalter in Church Slavonic and read one kathisma at a time. Read two chapters from the Gospels and one from the Apostle every day. Do not remove the cross on your body. try to observe all four major fasts and also one-day fasts on Wednesday and Friday. Read the Holy Fathers.

If you haven’t done all this, then it will be difficult to do it all at once, but then you gradually come to this, but with the expectation that someday you will achieve it. Fighting your sins, which you yourself do not know (I speak from my own experience), is a difficult and long task, and generally speaking, endless.

Save you, Lord.

Maybe it’s a migraine due to overexertion and fatigue, maybe you need a vacation to the warm sea? If you worked and studied at the same time, then it is not surprising that your nervous system is exhausted. An exhausted person is no less a convenient target for temptation than a satiated person.

It’s better, of course, to stay away from your “black magicians”. For the most part, these people do not understand what evil spirits are circling around them. It is not at all necessary that they somehow deliberately wish you harm, but, IMHO, such a society is not useful.

The only way for all of us is to remain in contrition for our sins, even mental ones, humility before the Lord and trust in Him.

PRAYER HEALING FROM SERIOUS DISEASES, PAIN.

This is a very powerful bioenergy technique - PRAYER.

For your practices, set aside a special place, a room where no one will disturb you for at least 30-40 minutes. Arrange this place to your liking - decorate with flowers, candles, stones, icons...

Your practice is the creation of your internal images. This is your conversation with the Creator of our Universe. This is your sincere appeal to him. Feel all the mystery of this practice, all the sacredness of this ritual of yours.

You can light candles and play quiet, pleasant music. It is not necessary to turn to the icon. Remember the Lord is in your heart! But if you want, turn to the icon that is closest to you, dear, joyful to your heart...

This sacrament - turning to God can be performed by anyone, regardless of their religious beliefs.

This prayer helps to heal from serious diseases (cardiovascular diseases, endocrine diseases, diseases of the nervous system, stomach, liver, musculoskeletal system), reduce temperature, relieve pain.

Diseases and other troubles do not fall on a person just like that. Man is a cosmic being and develops according to the laws of not only the material, but also the spiritual world. If these laws are violated, illness or some tragic circumstances arise that pose a threat to life.

It is enough to eliminate these violations, and everything in your life will return to normal. This is exactly what internal confession helps to do.

Confession consists of two parts.

Part one: you must remember all the times when someone seriously offended or insulted you. After all, resentment is a source of continuous supply of negative mental energy. Calmly remember your past life from the age of 12 (it is from this age that a person begins to bear karmic responsibility for his actions). The offender (even if this person has died) must be imagined mentally, and then hugged and kissed tightly!

Sometimes the resentment reaches such strength that it is impossible to hug and kiss, even mentally. In such cases, the “enemy” can be imagined as an unintelligent child of 2-3 years old. But it is necessary to hug and kiss - this is an indispensable condition of the Rescue Mechanism!

Send gratitude from your heart to this person.

Thank the Creator for sending you this traumatic situation for your learning.

Feel the warmth in your heart.

The second part: not only do you have enemies, someone, perhaps, considers you their enemy. It is possible that you yourself were a violator of moral truths. In this case, imagine that you are in court, and the judge is your own heart. Kneel before him and tell him all your bad deeds, mistakes, vices since the age of 12. Say everything you remember, making sure that you will never do it again. After all, by repenting, you remove all the negativity that has accumulated over the years. If the internal confession was carried out correctly and sincerely, then recovery and deliverance from troubles will occur in one hundred cases out of a hundred, regardless of the severity of the illness or the scale of the misfortune that has befallen you. It's only a matter of time. After internal confession, try not to repeat previous mistakes - otherwise misfortune will return in double volume.

You won’t be able to work through all the incidents in your life at once. Do it gradually. Remember and heal at least one incident a day.

Hallowed be Thy Name in Heaven and on Earth.

From the edge to the edge of the Universe!

God! Strengthen your strength in confronting the forces of darkness,

so as not to just resist him,

but also to cleanse Mother Earth of this garbage.

Teach to separate good from evil and remain in peace

and firmness of spirit, in order to worthily do Your Will among people.

Strengthen the strength of my brothers and sisters - as loved ones,

May they see Your true Glory and be filled with love in their hearts.

And they will overcome dark obstacles in moving along the Path to Light.

And let them stretch out their hands to each other and give immensely warmth of the soul.

God! May Your Will be done! And will remain on Earth United People

Loving his Mother - Nature,

reunited with You by my love

and walking along the Path of True Spiritual Development,

IN THE MORNING: “O Lord, bless the deeds of the coming day, and may its difficulties be met as befits those who walk under Your Light.”

IN THE EVENING: “O Lord, replenish lost strength for good, in order to prepare for meeting the day of the future.”

“I go to bed, I have the Cross Seal on me. Guardian Angels! Save my Soul from evening until midnight, and from midnight until morning."

A characteristic feature of modern society is despondency. There are periods in life when everything goes wrong, although there are no obvious reasons for this. This means that a person does not have enough balance and peace in his soul. In such situations, prayers come to the rescue to calm the soul and heart.

The most powerful prayer

The text of the best prayer for calm is as follows:

Virgin Mary, Hail, 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 the Savior of our souls.

It is worthy to eat as one truly blesses Thee Theotokos,

ever-blessed and most immaculate and Mother of our God.

The most honorable cherub and the most glorious without comparison seraphim,

who gave birth to God the Word without corruption,

We magnify the real Mother of God Thee.

Read this prayer for:

• calming the nervous system;
• stress relief;
• conflict resolution;
• balancing the emotional background.

Prayers to saints for peace

Sometimes, to calm the soul and heart, they turn to saints for help. These include:

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

“To the Baptist of Christ, preacher of repentance, do not despise me who repents, but copulating with the heavenly ones, pray to the Lady for me, unworthy, sad, weak and sad, fallen into many troubles, troubled by the stormy thoughts of my mind. Because I am a den of evil deeds, with no end to sinful customs, my mind is nailed down by earthly things.

What will 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 same name of grace, for you are before the Lord through the Mother of God greater than all those born, for you have been honored to touch the top of the King Christ, who takes away the sins of the world, the Lamb of God.

Pray for my sinful soul, so that from now on, in the first ten hours, I will bear a good burden and accept recompense with the last. To her, the Baptist of Christ, an honest Forerunner, an extreme Prophet, the first martyr in grace, a teacher of fasters and hermits, a teacher of purity and a close friend of Christ!

I pray to you, I come running to you: do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, cast down by many sins. Renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, since you are the ruler of both: with baptism wash away the original sin, and with repentance cleanse every bad deed. Cleanse me, defiled by sins, and force me to enter, even if nothing bad enters, 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; the day before 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 is a lot of stress and failure in life, it is worth reading a prayer text aimed at calming the heart and soul. He will give you strength and energy for new achievements.

May the Lord protect you!

Miraculous Orthodox prayers for healing from various diseases

Healing prayers have enormous power for every believing Orthodox soul. Since Christ showed the world miracles of healing from bodily ailments, people have been given the opportunity to heal themselves with words - the power of prayer. By healing, Jesus gave them faith in the one whose will created light and darkness, water and firmament, sky and stars - the Most High Creator. To the extent that the heart believes and devotes itself to the One God, it will respond to him with blessing and mercy in return.

After the ascension of Christ to the Heavenly Throne, prayer became the word that reveals great miracles of salvation in God. Only one condition must be diligently fulfilled in order to receive the mercy of Heavenly healing - firm faith in the Lord. Calling on the Holy Power of God for help through the word of prayer, Orthodox people entrust themselves into the hands of the Just and Merciful, he will arrange everything better than we are given to comprehend.

Where to start in the fight against bodily ailments

We know many confirmed facts when traditional medicine turned out to be completely powerless in the face of mysterious diseases. But incredible healing was given to a person after fervent prayer in church or touching Christian shrines.

After all, the basis for a successful recovery is fervent prayer and strong faith in Heavenly Father. And no healers can compare with him in the ability to heal a bodily illness.

Even medical luminaries have recognized the crushing power that the Holy Spirit feeds a person in the fight against a serious illness. More and more often we see icons and other attributes of the Orthodox Christian Church in doctors’ offices - this is probably not a coincidence.

So! What to do when you have to face a depressing diagnosis? Where to look for salvation from all diseases? Turn to the Creator, find a place in your heart for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit has power over any, even very hopeless, illness, before which any healers give in.

• Having heard or learned the sad news about an illness, first of all, do not become despondent, for this is a grave sin. A soul that has experienced despondency becomes an easy prey for the devil - fight!
• Before you begin to fight the disease, cleanse your soul of voluntary and involuntary sins - confess.
• Then you should accept the sacrament of communion, which will open your heart to Christ the Son of God.
• In Orthodoxy, healing prayer is widely used, and each individual disease has its own words for healing.
• Very severe cases are recommended for consecration of oil (unction) - this is one of the seven sacraments of the Church of Christ. His power is recognized by all faiths.

Confession and Communion are important for recovery

To recover from an illness, a disease of the body or a heaviness of the heart, it is not enough to take a prescription from a healer, buy candles and an icon, find out an effective prayer - first you need to prepare yourself and your spirit for this. Without repenting of our sins and without going through the sacrament of confession, our soul will not be ready to receive good from the Almighty.

• Confession is an obligatory element of the life of an Orthodox Christian. By admitting our sins, we receive forgiveness from the Almighty, thereby cleansing the soul of their burden. This frees us to receive the Holy Spirit and makes it possible to receive the salvation and healing for which the sick person prays to the Creator.
• Communion is a sacrament by which we symbolically receive the Son of God into our hearts. We give our consent to Christ to rule over our spirit.

Blessing of Anointing – Healing the Flesh by the Power of the Lord

This sacrament is most often performed during a serious illness, when life is on the brink. Typically, the rite of unction or unction, according to the canon, is performed by seven priests. However, if it is impossible for them to gather, the ritual is allowed to be performed by one holy father. The reading of the Apostle and the Gospel is accompanied by the recitation of the litany for the suffering, with the obligatory anointing of the sick person’s body with sacred oil and the placing of the Gospel on the forehead.

• Unction is performed exclusively on a believer, one who has dedicated his heart to Christ.
• You can offer unction in a church, in a home, in a hospital, or in any institution where a sick person awaits salvation.
• Blessing of oil can be carried out both on one and on several people who are thirsty for recovery - their number cannot be limited.
• It is impossible to carry out unction only in one case - when the patient has lost his sound mind (not mentally healthy).

The sevenfold anointing carried out according to the order and the laying on of the Gospel, in addition to calling the Holy Spirit into the body for recovery from all illnesses, also carries with it the removal of all sins from the sick person. This is why it is recommended in special cases, when a person can no longer confess and take communion on his own, in order to call on God’s mercy to help him.

Rituals and prayers to heal the flesh

In the Orthodox Church there is an innumerable number of rituals performed on people thirsting for healing. The pantheon of holy martyrs and saints of God is determined by the Holy Spirit to patronize man in earthly life, to give him hope and mercy for recovery from any illness, so that faith in the Creator does not dry out.

In addition, every ailment can be healed with the presence of a certain icon - a holy image, which is given the power to heal. Prayers for healing diseases are usually canonical. But if you don’t know a specific prayer, then turning to God for healing can be expressed in your own words, the main thing in them is sincerity. However, it is worth remembering that any shepherd will gladly answer any request to suggest the necessary words to address God about one’s sorrows and sufferings, for this is the role of his service to the Orthodox Church.

Toothache

This is the most common and annoying disease. To get rid of it, complex rituals and long prayer services are not needed. It is important to be a sincerely believing Christian in order to ask for help from the Holy Spirit and his assistant, the Hieromartyr Antipas.

• The prayer to Antipas can be read at any time; there are no restrictions or conventions for it.
• If you have Epiphany water on hand, you need to put a small amount in your mouth; it will ease dental suffering.
• It is recommended to read the prayer many times, but in multiples of twelve - according to the number of Apostles.

Migraines and temporal pain

Such an illness can significantly ruin a person’s life, without being particularly difficult to contact a doctor for help. And many people do not accept the effects of chemical pills on the body. But fighting a disease is an urgent need, why endure in pain what can be healed by prayer.

• Be sure to read the prayer to the Baptist in the morning and evening if pain haunts you constantly.
• In case of rare attacks, prayer can be read only when necessary to relieve the illness.
• Prayer does not help when pain is acquired due to a hangover. Drunkenness is condemned by the Almighty as a great sin, and cannot be healed with the help of a request in prayer.

To her, the Baptist of Christ, the honest Forerunner, the ultimate prophet, the first martyr in grace, the teacher of fasters and hermits, the teacher of purity and the close friend of Christ, I pray to you, I resort to you, do not reject me from your intercession, but raise me up, having fallen into many sins; renew my soul with repentance, as with the second baptism, of which you are the ruler: with baptism you wash away sin, and preach repentance for the cleansing of every bad deed; Cleanse me with the sins of the defiled and force me to enter, even if nothing bad enters, into the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen"

Treatment of skin problems - leprosy, ulcers, scabs, abscesses

The benefits of prayers to Artemy Verkolsky were noted in miraculously helping with all sorts of skin problems. The story of this holy righteous man began with the short earthly journey of a timid and righteous young man who died from a thunderstorm. Without being buried, the body of this youth did not succumb to putrefactive changes and remained incorrupt many years after his sudden death.

Actually, after death the real path of the holy righteous begins. Having been transferred to the temple, the relics of the saint began to perform real miracles - an Orthodox Christian who touched them received help for his illness. It was noted that most often it was the problems of skin diseases of a blister nature that were most often amenable to rapid cure - lichens, ulcers, scabs, psoriasis, putrefactive changes.

• When entering a ritual prayer service, it is necessary to observe strict fasting - not to eat fasting food. Keep it for at least forty days.
• Moisten wounds or make bandages using myrrh and holy water.
• The prayer is usually read in the morning, over wounds, before bandaging and caring procedures are performed.

Pray to the Lord, may he keep his faithful people in health and unchangeable well-being, may he give our country peace and quiet, and give us unfeigned obedience; may we all be worthy to receive, after the death of Christians, the Kingdom of Heaven, where all the righteous, together with you, eternally glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

Healing the soul and body if you have lost your appetite and suffer from insomnia

When suffering from nervous illnesses, a person may lose appetite or sleep. Usually such problems stem from other illnesses, and the underlying disease needs to be treated. But if the signs of loss of appetite or insomnia that arise do not have any particular reason, then perhaps you simply need to go deeper into yourself and ask God to grant peace to your tormented soul.

Usually, in this case, they try to go to church for services more often - the power of collective prayer will overcome your suffering.

• Confess and take communion.
• Order a prayer for health with your name. Be sure to include your baptized name and not your secular name.
• Before going to bed, read the psalter and prayer to Nikita the Stylite.
• Every morning on an empty stomach you need to drink three sips of Epiphany water - this will restore your appetite.

Remember us unworthy at the Throne of the Almighty and do not stop praying for us to Christ God: for you have been given the grace to pray for us. We do not think that you are dead, even though you have passed away from us in body, but even after death you remain alive. Do not depart from us in spirit, preserving and keeping us from the arrows of the enemy and all the charms of the demonic, our good intercessor and prayer book.

Even though your relics are always visible before our eyes: but your holy soul with the angelic hosts, with the disembodied faces, with the heavenly powers at the Throne of the Almighty God rejoices worthily. Knowing that you are truly alive even after death, we bow down to you, and we pray to you and are dear to you, praying for us to the Almighty God for the benefit of our souls, and ask us time for repentance, and without restraint to come from earth to Heaven, and bitter ordeals, and airy princes, and eternal torment, we will be delivered, and we will be heirs to the Kingdom of Heaven with all the righteous who have pleased Him from all eternity, our Lord Jesus Christ, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen"

Prayer for healing various ailments

Orthodox Christians recognized the power of prayer to the great martyr and healer Panteleimon. This saint became famous for healing illnesses, calling on the Holy Spirit and the mercy of the Lord for help. Panteleimon dedicated his life to serving Jesus, the Christian faith and the salvation of the suffering, saving their flesh from all sorts of ailments.

In the legends about the saint there are even references to the return of the soul to the body of the deceased, which became a great miracle. Since then, all healers have honored Panteleimon as their patron and mentor. The prayer for illnesses offered to him can be read both by the sufferers themselves and by those who care about the sick person and ask God for his recovery.

• Give the name of the sick person to three churches for prayer for health.
• Place the image of the holy healer Panteleimon at the head of the bed, where the patient sleeps.
• Don't forget about confession. If the patient does not have the opportunity to visit the temple, then it is necessary to invite a priest to the house.
• The prayer service can be held at any time, but it is recommended in the morning. Morning prayers always bring divine light into the coming day.
• Supplement your prayer to the healer by reading the psalter. It contains many songs that give healing to the flesh.

Psalms for recovery and to help those suffering

Every Orthodox prayer contains a secret meaning and a request to the Almighty to save the soul and preserve the flesh. The songs of David - the Psalms - have long been recognized by the Church of Christ as those that have miraculous power to influence the life of the servant of God and help us in all confusion, illness and sorrow. Accompanying prayers to the Lord and his saints, by reading the Psalms for health, you can speed up the fulfillment of your desires.

• Psalm 5 – from blindness and eye diseases.
• Psalm 7 – against nervous breakdowns and mental anguish.
• Psalm 12 – from internal diseases that affect a person.

The power of the word raised to the Lord is so great that it raised the terminally ill from their beds and granted recovery to the hopeless. There are a variety of prayers in the arsenal of the Christian Church; you just have to open your heart to the Almighty and earnestly pray to him for salvation, and his mercy will not keep you waiting long - your spirit and body will recover.
