Mother's prayer for a car journey. Prayer for the road. Orthodox prayer before dear St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

Any trip requires careful preparation. For a believing traveler, prayer on the road is as necessary as a document. In life Orthodox Christian actions, plans, trips are accompanied by prayerful help and the protection of heavenly powers. Travel is always an unpredictable adventure, no matter how well prepared it is.

Prayer on the road does not require any special effort. It gives confidence and a sense of security to traveling people. It doesn’t matter what type of transport you plan to use. Prayer on the road will become an additional and most important insurance for your life. Most often, the journey is made by private transport, and it seems that you are a confident, knowledgeable driver.

Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly saint of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper! Help me, a sinner and sad person in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, throughout my life , deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

But an experienced driver, even one who considers himself not very religious, does not neglect heavenly help. Therefore, praying while traveling by car will be a correct, caring action and will preserve traffic safety. A video by an Orthodox traveler, priest Father Fyodor Konyukhov, talks about prayer on the road.

Among prayer requests on the road, the prayer for travelers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered one of the most powerful requests. It is universal and suitable for long and short journeys. It can most often be seen on the dashboard of a car.

Prayer for those traveling by car will protect not only you, but also all passengers. Therefore, when you get into a taxi driver’s car and see the icon of St. Nicholas, you feel more confident. And this also invisibly helps all travelers.

The roads are oversaturated with transport, their quality is still poor. And if you take into account all the factors of your movement approximately, then it is impossible to determine those who are driving other cars. A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker while traveling by car will help you in this unpredictable moment.

Prayer to Matrona of Moscow for protection on the way

For protection along the way, you can contact the blessed old lady Matrona of Moscow. Prayer on the road with her patronage will also warn against road accidents. According to statistics, a car is considered the most dangerous type of transport, and carelessness in this matter can cost a person his life. Prayer while traveling by car is not a 100% guarantee of safety, but it certainly will not cause unforeseen incidents along the way.

O blessed Mother Matrono, your soul is in heaven before the Throne of God, but your body is resting on earth, and with the grace given from above, you exude various miracles. Look now with your merciful eye on us, sinners, in sorrow, illness and sinful temptations, our waiting days, comfort us, desperate ones, heal our fierce ailments, from God we are allowed by our sins, deliver us from many troubles and circumstances, pray to our Lord Jesus Christ forgive us all our sins, iniquities and falls, in whose image we have sinned from our youth even to this day and hour, and through your prayers having received grace and great mercy, we glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever. Amen.

Prayer to Jesus Christ before leaving home

If you have a long road ahead, turn to Jesus Christ. Especially if it is not possible to take a blessing on a trip. Before leaving the house, prayer in long journey will be an important support along the way. Other countries, extreme travel, unusual look transport - these factors often add to an unpleasant travel experience.

I deny you, Satan, your pride and service to you, and I unite with you, Christ, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. (And protect yourself with the sign of the cross.)

Prayer to Jesus Christ before traveling

Before traveling by car, praying to Jesus Christ himself should be the main petition. A person cannot predict the behavior of a vehicle on the road, even if the car has been thoroughly technically prepared.

It is important to maintain the right balance between the material and spiritual world. Don’t forget about prayer on the road - it is as important as a motorist’s first aid kit.

The path and truth, O Christ, of Thy companion, Thy angel, Thy servant now, as Tobiah sometimes did, after preserving and unharmed to Thy glory, from all evil in all well-being, through the prayers of the Mother of God, the One Lover of Mankind.

Prayer to Jesus Christ for travelers

Another factor in paying close attention to prayer on the road is the appearance on the roads of inexperienced drivers who simply do not know the rules of the road.

Lord Jesus Christ our God, the true and living way, you willed to travel with your imaginary father Joseph and the Most Pure Virgin Mother to Egypt, and Luca and Cleopas to Emmaus! And now we humbly pray to Thee, Most Holy Master, and travel with Thy servant by Thy grace. And like Thy servant Tobiah, send a Guardian Angel and mentor, preserving and delivering them from every evil situation of visible and invisible enemies, and instructing them in the fulfillment of Thy commandments, peacefully and safely and healthily, and returning them safely and serenely; and grant them all their good intentions to please You safely and fulfill them for Your glory. It is Yours to have mercy and save us, and we send up glory to You with Your Beginning Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

In the time of our grandmothers or great-grandmothers, each person had his own spiritual mentor who guided him on the right path. Before any decision, a believer went to his mentor for his advice, including before setting off on a journey. The spiritual mentor blessed the person on a good path, now the person was calm and confident that they would pray for and protect his soul. Prayer for the road, it is this prayer that your spiritual mentor reads, thereby protecting you from everything bad that can happen to you. And in past years, people took this very seriously and responsibly, and the connection between the mentor and the believer was very strong and strong.

But in our fast, modern world there is, unfortunately, a very small percentage of people who have a spiritual mentor, not to mention the fact that someone will bless him and pray for his soul when he goes on a long journey. Maybe the reason is that people in the modern world travel around the world without problems, and without even thinking that something could happen to them, since the transport industry is now very well developed. Today a person is in Europe, and tomorrow in America, no, not one place where a person could not get. But people from the last century did not travel around the world like we did.

Prayer is the communication of the human soul with the highest creator of the world. And all the same, no matter how modern we are, it is necessary to devote a little time to prayer.

Especially if you are going to travel, you need to prepare not only financially, but also spiritually. It is not necessary to have a spiritual mentor, you can read a prayer for the road yourself, the main thing is to believe in what you say. Ask God to protect and protect you along the way. And it doesn’t matter where you are going, and what you will be doing on your journey, and the main thing is that prayer will always be with you on the way. The best prayer, which is intended for a long journey, is a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, because it is Nicholas who is considered the patron saint of all wanderers.

There is one prayer that applies to all saints, the main thing is to substitute the desired name:

“Pray to God for me, holy servant of God (for example, Nicholas), as I diligently resort to you, a quick helper and prayer book for my soul.”

A few prayers that you need to at least write down and read before going out, and they will additionally protect you from all evil.

Your work is directly related to a car, or with constant travel by car over long distances, you need to choose a prayer that will become near and dear to you. The prayer on the road by car should be with you and every time before leaving, say it to yourself.

The very first prayer should be addressed to your car:

“There is an island on the sea, on the ocean. There is a damp oak tree on the island. In that iron oak there is an iron man. That iron man cannot be given a drink, he cannot be fed anything, he cannot be broken in two, he cannot be cut into three. He doesn’t beat, doesn’t crumple, doesn’t prick, the Mother of God prays for him, grieves for him, suffers, and reads the security certificate for him. Honor, Mother of God, also about me, God's servant (name). In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, forever and forever. Amen".

Prayer “For preservation and help along the way”

“God, the All-merciful and All-Merciful, protect everyone with Your mercy and love for mankind, I humbly pray to You, through the intercession of the Mother of God and all the saints, save me, a sinner, and the people entrusted to me from sudden death and all misfortunes, and help us to deliver unharmed to everyone according to his needs. Dear God! Deliver me from evil spirit recklessness, evil spirits drunkenness, causing misfortune and sudden death without repentance. Save me, Lord, with a clear conscience, to live to a ripe old age without the burden of people killed and maimed by my negligence, and may Your holy name be glorified, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen".

Flying on an airplane is no different from flying a car, it's just a different type of transportation. Prayer for traveling by plane will calm you both psychologically, if you are afraid of flying, and spiritually. There is a special prayer for people going on air travel, which must be read before the flight.

“Lord Jesus Christ, our God, command the elements and contain the whole handful, whose deeps tremble and whose stars are present. All creation serves You, all listen to You, all obey You. You can do everything: for this sake, you are all merciful, Most Blessed Lord.

So even now, Master, accepting the warm prayers of these Thy servants (their names), bless their path and the air procession, forbidding storms and contrary winds, and keeping the air boat safe and sound. Giving them a saving and calm passage through the air and the good intention of those who accomplished it, they will return joyfully in health and in peace.

For You are the Savior and Deliverer and the Giver of all good things, heavenly and earthly, and we send glory to You with Your Beginning Father and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen".

Any woman, whether she is a boss or a housewife, her main concern is family and home. And the first child that God gives to a woman is her husband. After all, literally all the husband’s health, work, rest and much more depend on the wife. Husband and wife are two loved ones who feel each other while on long distance. A wife’s prayer to her husband can only be compared with a mother’s prayer to her child. A woman by nature is inclined to create panic, worry, if her husband does not answer the phone, the woman is ready to raise everyone's ears. Therefore, praying for your husband’s journey will help save him not only from troubles, but also directly gain peace and confidence that everything will be fine with your husband, since he is under God’s protection. Dear women, read a prayer for your husbands every morning for the journey.

“My all-merciful Lady, Most Holy Lady, All-Pure Virgin, Mother of God Mary, Mother of God, My Undoubted and Only Hope. Do not disdain me, do not reject me, do not leave me, do not retreat from me! Intercede, ask, hear, see, Lady, help, forgive, forgive, Most Pure One! Amen. Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen".

The most precious and precious thing in the life of any mother is her children. And it doesn’t matter daughter or son. A mother's desire is always that her children are always happy and healthy. After all, for God we are also his children, and he prays and suffers for us, so that you and I can live in peace and goodness.

A prayer for the son’s journey will keep him safe and sound, since the mother’s faith is very strong and true, it cannot be bought.

“Dear Lord God, I come to You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, and I ask You for my son (name). Heal his wounds, anoint him with Your precious oil, and give Your Divine peace and Your love in the heart of my son (name), so that his heart does not harden, keep him in your hand and lead him through life paths teaching and instructing how to behave in difficult situations, give Your Divine wisdom and fill your heart with love for the perishing world, protect it from every destructive ulcer, anoint it with Your precious blood. I believe with all my heart that You are always there and help you overcome difficulties. Thank you, Father, for Your love and mercy. Amen".

No matter where you or your loved ones are going, remember that you need to behave on the road the same way as in life. Believers believe that the life of any person is a long road along which it is necessary to walk with dignity.

Be correct, but at the same time you don’t need to teach someone or impose your point of view; you shouldn’t chat in vain on the way either. And always have a St. Nicholas icon with you. In this article I talked about some prayers that you don’t need to know by heart, but at least write them down and keep them with you.

When you get behind the wheel, board a plane, or your loved ones are on the road. Read them a prayer for the journey, and send God’s protection to them.

Human life is very fragile. Unfortunately, people do not always remember this. But familiar objects - for example, a personal car - can be a threat to life. When driving, every Christian should remember that he is responsible not only for himself, but also for those around him. The driver’s prayer will help create the right spiritual mood.

Before the road

When facing any task, believers must first turn to the Lord and the saints. This is done in order to call on higher powers for help. This is what you need to do before going on the road. To whom should prayer requests be addressed?

Guardian angel. He accompanies baptized people in every endeavor. There have often been cases when it was possible to avoid a terrible accident only through the intercession of a heavenly patron.
Nikolai is a saint. The driver's prayer is addressed to him because the ancient saint is considered the patron saint of all who set out on the road. It doesn’t matter what transport you use.
Holy Mother of God. This is the faithful intercessor of every Orthodox Christian. With her prayers she protects all Christians, begging them for forgiveness from the Lord.
Holy Spirit. One of the Persons of the Holy Trinity. Thanks to him, all positive changes occur on earth, people become capable of good. It helps in absolutely any task aimed at a positive result.

A short prayer can be printed on a small sheet of paper and stored in your wallet. This way you can always turn to God.

Prayer for drivers to the Lord God

“My Lord and Guardian! I want to entrust my life to You alone before I set off on the road. I commit my house and my household into Your hands, believing, Lord, that they are under reliable protection. I don’t know what awaits me ahead, but I calm down in the hope of Your great mercy, love and care. When I’m on the road, protect my car from accidents and breakdowns, and, Father, protect me from spiritual and physical wounds. At the most difficult moment of my journey, send me calmness, endurance and strength to cope with any situation. Bless my return to my home and be with me every minute of my life. Amen".

Who can pray

It is not only the person himself who calls on the Lord - this can be done by everyone to whom he is dear and not indifferent. Wife, mother, children, just good friends. Knowing the hour of departure, they also call on God's mercy. Intensified prayer reaches heaven faster. It is best when, before leaving, people gather for a common prayer service under the arches of the temple.

The priest reads prayers that are not published in ordinary prayer books and are only available to the clergy. After the prayer service, everyone is sprinkled with holy water, and the Holy Crucifix is brought out for veneration. These actions strengthen the driver’s prayer on the road. After all, the church was not created in vain - it is called upon to help its parishioners in a spiritual sense. We need to go there, and not to the fortune tellers.

Driver's Prayer to the Guardian Angel

“Angel of God, my holy guardian, given from the Lord from heaven for my protection, I diligently pray to you; Enlighten me today and save me from all evil, guide me to good deeds on the path of salvation. Amen".

How to pray correctly

A small icon should be installed in the car so that it does not interfere with the view, but you can glance at it in a free minute (during a stop or in a traffic jam).
You can download several prayers to your phone and read them - but only during the period when the car is not moving. Safety is the first priority when traveling.
If the road ahead is long, find time to go to a service and repent of your sins. With a pure soul, any work turns out much easier.
The car can be blessed. This will give the driver and passengers a feeling of confidence. It should be understood that this does not give permission to drive recklessly and does not eliminate the need for routine inspection and repair. The Lord does everything with our hands, only in cooperation with man, and not instead of him.
During the journey, no one requires fasting and reading all the prayers. But you can always briefly turn to God and the saints. It is important that this is a sincere call for help.

Saint Nicholas

Even non-believers know for sure that the holy elder will always come to the rescue. Almost every owner vehicle has in the car an icon of the saint who right hand sends God's blessing. In his left hand he usually holds holy gospel- this is a call to all Christians to turn to God’s Covenant more often.

The driver’s prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker contains the main petition - to pray to the Lord for the forgiveness of sins. They are the cause of all failures in a person’s life. This can be difficult to understand for those who consider themselves very good - they say, I don’t offend anyone, but I have to endure a lot from others. But Christians must truly tolerate the character of their neighbors in order to become like God, because He loves everyone.

During his lifetime, Saint Nicholas also did a lot for those around him. He even knew how to raise the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord gives such a gift to those who fulfill all his commandments and live a holy life. This is exactly what Bishop Mir of Lycia was like. Even after death, he communicates with believers, calling them to repentance and obedience to God. If a person cannot cope with something in life, he can safely pray to the righteous man - he answers prayers very quickly.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for travelers

“Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper! Help me, a sinner and sad person in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

How else can you help?

There are also special prayers for those on the move. The driver’s prayer for safety and help will be much stronger if his loved ones at home ask for him. You can and should order a church memorial. When submitting a note, you must indicate “about travelers” in it, then write a name or several names. You can order different requirements:

prayer services;
Psalter or Indestructible Psalter about health;
proskomedia about health;
special remembrance in front of the Royal Doors during the Liturgy (the prayer is read publicly and the entire church prays).

Upon your return, be sure to thank the Lord - come to the service, order a prayer service of thanksgiving, and express gratitude in your own words.

So, we understand that the driver’s prayer before the road is obligatory for a believer. A person can never know for sure whether he will return home in the evening. The Lord wishes the best for everyone, but there are also people who do not want to live according to His will. It is from them that evil comes. It is not always possible to foresee it, so you need to be prepared for tests. Through the prayers of all the saints, the Lord will protect and have mercy on you!

Driver's prayer to the Mother of God

God, the All-Good and All-Merciful, protecting everyone with His mercy and love for mankind, I humbly pray to Thee, through the intercession of the Mother of God and all the saints, save me, a sinner, and the people entrusted to me from sudden death and all misfortunes, and help me to deliver unharmed to each according to his needs.

Dear God! Deliver me from the evil spirit of recklessness, the evil spirit of drunkenness, which causes misfortune and sudden death without repentance.

Grant me, Lord, with a clear conscience to live to a ripe old age without the burden of people killed and maimed due to my negligence, and may my name be glorified Your Sacred, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

In accordance with Christian canons, prayer helps the believer in any endeavor. A sincere request for help and protection from the Lord or the saints will never go unanswered.

Traveling has always been considered a risky and serious undertaking that requires certain preparation. Not long ago, people gained the opportunity to travel by air, and although the airplane is the most in a safe way transport, it is very difficult to overcome the fear of flying. Prayer for the plane ride will help with this.

Prayer for air travelers

When going on a long journey, it is best to choose a time and visit the temple. After confession and communion, the following prayer should be said before the images:

During the repetition of sacred texts, a person’s faith is strengthened, calmness and confidence in the successful outcome of the journey appear. You can also pray for loved ones who are facing a long flight, for friends and relatives.

If you were unable to visit the temple, you can say the prayer immediately before boarding the plane or while already in the air. A prayer said in the air will help:

get rid of the fear of disaster;
cope with fear of heights;
strengthen faith in the positive outcome of the journey.

Deep and sincere faith when reading the sacred text will not only calm the mind, but also protect against any troubles during the flight.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker

When setting off on a journey, you should definitely seek help from St. Nicholas, the patron saint of travelers and seafarers. Nikolai's biography includes several cases of rescue of sailors in the most hopeless situations. Prayer for the journey by plane to Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered the strongest amulet. Before traveling, you should visit the temple, light a candle in front of the face of St. Nicholas and read the following prayer:

The sacred text can also be pronounced directly in the air, turning to the saint with a request for a safe flight, and after a successful landing, be sure to thank him for his help.

A prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the plane ride can also be said for loved ones and dear people going on a trip. By reading it with sincere faith, you can protect them on difficult air travel.

On the cross, in Jesus, divine mercy gives everything, even his blood. On the cross, Jesus testified to his love by giving his life, a gift greater than anything else could be imagined. “Jesus took upon himself natural and ineradicable passions: hunger, thirst, fatigue, tears, hesitation in the face of death, horror that causes sweat, drops of blood and everything else that is inherent in all people by nature” St. John of Damascus.

Amen".

“In obedience and love to the Father, Jesus lived to the last limit of human suffering. He not only endured these sufferings, but was not afraid to endure them, refused to avoid them, in love, which is stronger than death” (Boris Bobrinskoy. “The Compassion of the Father”). Reflecting on the death of Jesus, a believer is imbued with his love for the Father and for all humanity. so the wife is imbued with love for her husband and offers her Orthodox prayers for her husband on a business trip, for successful work husband and for his well-being.
