What is prayer for an Orthodox Christian? This is, first of all, a sincere conversation with God, purified by love and faith, a meeting with him. Each of us, no matter where we are, no matter what life conditions we find ourselves in, can turn to the Creator and find spiritual happiness and harmony. But prayer will be effective only if a person’s soul is clean from sinful thoughts. This book contains prayers to the saints that help in various situations, but before you start reading them, analyze your state of mind. Only by renouncing petty everyday problems, letting go of grievances, calming anger, anxiety, condemnation and other negative emotions, feeling peace of mind and balance, realizing that everything is the will of God, can you begin to pray. And if after this you feel joy, love in your soul, and perceive everything as Divine will, then your prayer was correct!
