Prayer is a person’s communication with God, with the invisible-spiritual world. Through our prayers we find peace of mind, with God’s help we overcome adversity, sorrow, and illness. On weekdays and holidays, prayer will calm thoughts for the right choice, lighten the soul, and become a guiding thread to a righteous, worthy, exemplary life for others. There is great benefit from prayer. You just need to believe and pray sincerely, with a pure heart. A fervent prayer to God, the Mother of God, and the saints will not go unanswered. Let it be your constant companion in life. The book includes akathists dedicated to the twelve church holidays (movable and immovable) in the order of the church year.
