A big prayer, but very strong. In case of any trouble from people, I advise you to read.
Merciful Lord, You once, through the mouth of the servant of Moses, Joshua the son of Nun, delayed the movement of the Sun and Moon for a whole day, while the people of Israel took revenge on their enemies. The prayer of Elisha the prophet once struck the Syrians, holding them back and healing them again.
You once told the prophet Isaiah: Behold, I will return ten steps back the sun's shadow, which passed along the steps of Ahazov, and the Sun returned ten steps along the steps on which it descended. You once, through the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, closed up the abyss, stopped the rivers, held back the waters. And you once, by fasting and the prayer of your prophet Daniel, blocked the mouth of lions in the den.
And now delay and slow down until good time all the plans around me about my displacement, dismissal, displacement, exile. So now destroy the evil desires and demands of all those who condemn me, block the mouths and hearts of all those who slander, spiteful and roar at me and all those who blaspheme and humiliate me. So now bring spiritual blindness to the eyes of all those who rise up against me and against my enemies.
Didn't You say to the Apostle Paul: Speak and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will harm you. Soften the hearts of all those who oppose the good and dignity of the Church of Christ. Therefore, let not my mouth be silent to rebuke the ungodly and glorify the righteous and all your wondrous deeds. And may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled. To you, the righteous and prayer books of God, our bold representatives, who once, by the power of their prayers, restrained the invasion of foreigners, the approach of those who hate, destroyed the evil plans of people, who blocked the mouths of lions, now I turn with my prayer, with my petition.
And You, reverend great Hellius of Egypt, who once protected the place of settlement of your disciple in a circle with the sign of the cross, commanded him to arm himself in the name of the Lord and not be afraid from now on of demonic temptations. Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of Your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves' attacks and all evil and fear.
And You, Reverend Father Poplie of Syria, once, by your unceasing prayer, for ten days kept the demon motionless and unable to walk day or night; now, around my cell and this house of mine, keep behind its fence all the opposing forces and all those who blaspheme the name of God and despise me.
And You, reverend virgin Piama, who once by the power of prayer stopped the movement of those who were going to destroy the inhabitants of the village where she lived, now suspend all the plans of my enemies who want to expel me from this city and destroy me: do not allow them to approach this house, stop them by the power of prayer his: "Lord, Judge of the Universe, You who are disliked by all unrighteousness, when this prayer comes to You, may the Holy Power stop them at the place where it overtakes them."
And you, blessed Lawrence of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as having the audacity to intercede before the Lord for those who suffer from the machinations of the devil. Pray to God for me, may He protect me from the machinations of Satan.
And You, Reverend Vasily of the Caves, make your prayers - prohibitions on those who attack me and drive away all the machinations of the devil from me.
And you, all the Holy Lands of Russia, develop by the power of your prayers for me all the demonic charms, all the devilish plans and intrigues - to annoy me and destroy me and my property.
And You, the great and formidable guardian, Archangel Michael, cut with a fiery sword all the desires of the enemy of the human race and all his minions who want to destroy me. Stand inviolably guarding this house, all those who live in it and all its property.
And You, the Lady, not in vain called the "Indestructible Wall", be for all those who are at war with me and plotting dirty tricks to do me, truly a kind of barrier and an indestructible wall that protects me from all evil and difficult circumstances.
Prayer before the icons of the Mother of God"Softener of Evil Hearts":
O long-suffering Mother of God, who exalted all the daughters of the earth, according to Your purity and the multitude of sufferings You have transferred to the earth, accept our many painful sighs and save us under the shelter of Your mercy. We don’t know any other refuge and warm intercession for You, but, as if you have boldness to the One born from You, help and save us with Your prayers, so that we will unstoppably reach the Kingdom of Heaven, even with all the saints we will sing in the Trinity to the One God now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen.
You will be surprised if I say that any Orthodox prayer protects from evil people. To choose the right option for your case, you need to understand how and why it helps. Anyone can take advantage of its protective power. It is not enough to find a "universal" text, you need to use it correctly. After all, you can pray to the point of insanity, but there will be no sense. Do you want a quiet life? Find the main source of troubles and troubles in your situation.
Attention: The article refers to ordinary people seeking protection from God. So don't compare yourself to saints. There, the enduring of sorrows is due to other reasons:
- to increase the experience of fighting evil (passions);
- either a higher reward in eternal life;
- sometimes illnesses are sent, for the sake of weakness, when the prayer feat intensifies, giving more abundant fruits, etc.
We, who have little understanding of how the Spiritual Law operates, must learn to find the cause of evil and understand what can help. The main thing is to solve the problem that has arisen, and not to plunge into an even worse one.
There are no accidents: everything is under the control of God
Imagine: the mother is holding the baby by the hand, so as not to get lost in the crowd. He breaks free, runs away from her, falls into a puddle, breaks his knee. Accidentally? No, the reason is that he did not want to hold on to the hand of his keeper from troubles. Mom sees, but allows everything to happen so that the unreasonable child understands: without her, he will be hurt and ill. This lesson teaches the child the right choice of behavior.
It is the same in adult life: “escaping” from our Guardian, we get into various troubles, we are exposed to evil people, we suffer. Take a look at yourself. Whose hand are you holding on to? Is God your companion, showing the way, or are you walking on your own, or maybe you grabbed onto the hater of man and God, Satan, with his army of demons? Often people cannot determine with whom they go through life. But if you suffer from evil people, it's time to think: whose children are you, who protects you.
Remember: There are no accidents. Everything that happens to us is the result of our wrong behavior, spiritual state. There is only one reason - separation from God. Deprived of His means of protection, we get into trouble, we suffer from others. Salvation consists in regaining the body and soul-guards, protecting from all evil.
Will strong prayer protect from evil people?
There are no weak prayers in Orthodoxy, there are inept, ignorant prayer books. Why even pray? This is a way of connecting with God, the Mother of God, Angels or saints, from whom we ask for help. It is known that not everyone gets it. For some reason, the Heavenly Forces help some, but not others.
Note: It is important to find such a prayer (it is not about the content) that it will be answered. With grace, you can use your own words. God will hear his own children, even if they are silent. The heart will speak instead of the mouth. A child who entrusts himself to the care of God receives not only what he asks for, but even more. The Lord knows that an abundance of goodness will not hurt the obedient follower.
What prayers does the church offer
Seeking protection, in response to the evil deeds of people, one must use only good. Evil begets evil, and good steps destroy the machinations of wicked people or demons. Therefore, prayers are used in accordance with the situation:
- They turn to the Heavenly Father, reading "Our Father ...". It is in all situations.
- To the Lord - at least a short "Jesus" prayer, repeating it as often as possible.
- To the Mother of God - in family problems and at work, asking to soften the hearts of evil people.
- To the Guardian Angel - morning and evening Rule.
- We give a few prayers on the page: select according to the situation.
- “Our Father…” + “May God rise again…” + Psalm 90 + “It is worthy to eat…” — under the influence of demons, witchcraft.
- A set of psalms according to the algorithm of Arsenius of Cappadocia.
- For relatives and enemies, you can submit notes on health. Then the relationship will change for the better.
When resorting to the help of the Powers of Heaven, it is not a specific text or words that is important, but the heart of the one who prays. A simple subtraction won't change anything. You need to understand how to do it right. Even praying clumsily, a person corrects himself, if he discerns sin in himself, tries to cleanse himself of it.
How to pray to protect yourself from evil
We are all made of the same dough, but we have individuality. This requires for each specific approach, a certain set of actions in order to achieve the desired result. Therefore, for most of us, only reading the found text will not do anything. This is tantamount to the fact that having received a prescription from a doctor, you hope to recover with the help of a piece of paper. No. You have to do something:
- go to the pharmacy;
- buy the necessary medicines;
- take them, as prescribed, for a certain time.
So it is with prayer. It will help if you have received grace inside: you have been heard and helped. At this stage, individuality plays a role. Someone will need a long course of rehabilitation, while others just need to complete two or three points. Medicines from God also have conditions under which they work. Prayer can:
- Help if you have done everything in your power.
- Do not bring results - they did not understand how to ask for help correctly.
- To harm - instead of prayer, they resorted to a conspiracy or treated the matter as a magical ritual.
Imagine that trying to contact God (the Powers of Heaven) through prayer, you, like a broken phone, are not able to accept help. That is, there is no contact. No matter how much you shout into a broken device, no one will hear. What to do? The answer is unequivocal: to repair the breakdown, that is, to prepare yourself.
Whose prayer will God hear?
We come to the main point. Now we need to understand how to pray correctly so that God hears and helps to get rid of problems, the influence of evil people or the machinations of unclean spirits. The essence of prayer lies not in words, but in the sincerity of the person himself. We are evil beings. Often we seek not help from the Lord, but the fulfillment of our own desire.
Many people want to remain sinners and control Heaven, so that the saints would obey us. Christ has other plans for us—salvation for eternal life. As long as the goals are different, the expected result will not be. If you agree to take the Lord by the hand so that He leads through life, get help instantly:
- The church is a rehabilitation center where the soul receives the necessary strength: grace, so that prayer connects with the one we turn to.
- Through the Sacraments (Confession, Unction), a person is cleansed of sins - removes obstacles to prayer.
- Unites with Christ in Communion, healing wounds, patching up a gap that attracts evil people.
- Restores protection from all evil, for the Angel encircles the Christian with a pillar of fire. No evil spirits can overcome this armor.
The Lord listens to such, fulfills petitions, protects, like the apple of an eye. When starting to pray, you need to bring yourself into the right state, without making mistakes that will make your work in vain.
You will not achieve a positive result if:
- Have a false idea of faith. They came up with their own faith, and not the one taught by the church, the apostles and holy fathers. Then pray in vain, for you do not understand to whom you are addressing in prayer.
- Decided to start praying, but you cannot forgive the deed or words of others. An insult has settled in the heart, or a plan of revenge is woven, or an unkind deed is conceived against another. Then prayer is a waste of time.
- Don't see your sins. There is pride and vanity in the heart. How will the Lord hear this? It is said: God opposes the proud. This one does not seek help and salvation. He has an erroneous idea of himself, being in captivity of self-delusion.
- Prayer on a full stomach is not productive. If you eat a heavy meal, the body focuses on digesting food. In this state, it is impossible to pray with attention. It's even worse if it starts to make you sleepy. From the corpulence of the body, all thoughts will be about the earthly, they will not be able to soar to God.
Prepare for fruitful prayer:
- Attention! The first thing to learn is attention. Without attention, instead of benefit, you add one more sin to yourself: turning to God in vanity. You can’t watch TV, have fun on the Internet, or after condemning someone, immediately start praying. The mind is still under the impression of what it has seen and experienced for some time.
It takes a lot of willpower to get rid of everything vain. If the mind spreads all over the world during prayer, stop, collect yourself, force yourself to focus on the right words. Not immediately, but gradually the skill of attention in prayer will come. This will definitely happen if you pray constantly, and not from case to case.
- Prayer mood. Using the prayers of the righteous, delve into the image and state that they experienced. Try to tune your mind and heart, bringing them as close as possible to the words of the saints. They have already pleased God with these prayers. He accepted their appeal and filled
Grace. Strive to be nourished by this prayerful Spirit.
- Poverty of spirit. Awareness of one's sinfulness leads to the understanding that one needs to be corrected. Repentance brings tears. Over time, you begin to see that you yourself are not able to fight against sins. You understand that you need God's help. This is humility or poverty of spirit. All the saints prayed only in this repentant disposition of the soul. Without humility, prayer will be fruitless.
- Constancy. An important factor in correct prayer is constancy and regularity. First you need to accustom yourself to pray in the morning and in the evening. If the rule is not always possible to execute, you can reduce it. Let there be fewer prayers, but with attention and with a penitent heart disposition.
The main thing is not to leave prayer. Let it not immediately turn out as we would like. The skill will come gradually. When the Lord sees determination and perseverance, He will give grace that will teach correct prayer. Without a strong desire to learn, negligence and cold will prevail. You will stop praying. At the initial stage, or when there is not enough time, pray according to the short rule of Seraphim of Sarov, but constantly, without missing.
You need to know that when prayer does not go on, you do not feel anything, there is no desire to read, you are absent-minded, yet you cannot give up prayer. This is a test for you. It is at this point that your determination to follow Christ is tested. And although it seems that the ice of the soul cannot be melted, in fact, you come to the necessary state of humility.
- Moderation. The number of prayers should not exceed your capacity. Both laziness and excessive zeal harm correct prayer. When you overdo it, instead of a state of peace and joy, you will come to despondency and confusion. Instead of lightness, you will find heaviness and obscuration of the mind. Therefore, calculate the possibilities of the body and soul, so that instead of benefit, do not get harm.
Conclusion: God does not need our prayers, we need them. The Lord is always near, and we do not let Him into our hearts, so as not to prevent us from sinning. Prayer changes us, unites us with God, gives grace and strength to overcome passions, instills hope to receive what we ask for. This must be learned.

Prayer in the anger of those in authority
Psalm 131
Remember, Lord, David and all his meekness: as they swear by the Lord, they promise God to Jacob: if I enter the village of my house, or climb on the bed of my bed, if I give my eyes sleep and my slumber is always at home, and the rest of my skraniam, until I find a place O Lord, a village to the God of Jacob. Behold, I have heard in Euphrates, I have found in the fields of oak forests. Let us enter into His dwellings, let us bow down to the place where we stand at His foot. Resurrect, O Lord, into Thy rest, Thou and Thy sanctuary. Your priests will be clothed with righteousness, and Your saints will rejoice. David, for the sake of your servant, do not turn away the face of your anointed one. The Lord swears to David by the truth and will not deny it: I will plant from the fruit of your womb on your throne. If your sons keep My covenant, and this is My testimony, which I will teach, and their sons will sit on your throne forever. As the Lord has chosen Zion, bring him to your dwelling. This is my rest forever and ever, I will dwell here, as if I had chosen. I will bless his catch, I will satisfy his poor with bread, the priests will clothe him with salvation, and his saints will rejoice with joy. There I will raise up the horn of David; I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one. I will clothe his enemies with frost, and my shrine will flourish on it.

Prayers against witchcraft
Psalm 63
Hear, O God, my voice, we always pray to You, from the fear of the enemy, save my soul. Cover me from the host of the deceitful, from the multitude of those who do unrighteousness. Even sharpening, like a sword, their tongues, straining their bow, a bitter thing, shooting at secrets without blemish, they will suddenly shoot him and will not be afraid. Having affirmed to yourself the evil word, telling the hidden network, deciding: who will see them? Having experienced iniquity, having disappeared testing trials; man will come, and the heart will be deep, and God will be exalted. The arrows of the child were their plagues, and their tongues were weary of them. All who see them were troubled, and every man was afraid, and proclaimed the works of God, and His creations were understood. The righteous will rejoice in the Lord and hope in Him, and all the upright in heart will boast.
Psalm 67
Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His face. Like smoke disappears, let them disappear, like wax melts from the face of fire, so let sinners perish from the presence of God, and let the righteous rejoice, let them rejoice before God, and enjoy in joy. Sing to God, sing to His name, guide the one who ascended into the west, the Lord is His name, and rejoice before Him. Let them be troubled at His face, the Father of orphans and the Judge of widows: God is in His holy place. God instills like-minded people in the house, harassing those bound by courage, who also grieve those who live in tombs. God, you always go before your people, you always pass by you in the wilderness, the earth is shaken, for the heavens are gone from the presence of the God of Sinai, from the presence of the God of Israel. The rain is free to separate, O God, to Your possessions and exhausted, but You have done it. The Lord will give a word to those who preach the gospel with great power. The king of the forces of the beloved, the beauty of the house divide self-interest. If you sleep in the middle of the limit, the krill of the pigeon is silvered, and her interdorama is in the glitter of gold. Every now and then the heavenly kings will be on it, they will be covered with snow in Selmon. Mountain of God, fat mountain, deserted mountain, fat mountain. Do you not eat dampened mountains? Mountain, south, God will deign to live in it, for the Lord will dwell to the end. The chariot of God is in darkness, thousands of those who speak, the Lord is in them in Sinai in the holy. Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast taken captivity captivity, thou hast received gifts among men, for those who do not repent, hedgehog dwell. Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord day by day, the God of our salvation hasten to us. Our God, the God of salvation, and the Lord, the Lord's outgoing mortal. Both God will crush the heads of His enemies, the top of the hair that is transient in their sins. The Lord said: I will turn from Bashan, I will turn in the depths of the sea. As if your foot would be dipped in blood, the tongue of your dogs, from the enemy from him. I have seen Thy processions, O God, the processions of my God the King, who are in the holy; having preceded the princes near the singing, in the midst of the maidens of the timpanes. In the churches, bless God, the Lord from the fountains of Israel. Tamo Benjamin the youngest is terrified, the princes of Judah are their rulers, the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali. Commandment, O God, by Thy power, strengthen, O God, this which Thou hast done in us. From Your temple to Jerusalem, the king will bring you gifts. Forbid with a reed beast, a host of young people in human youths, shut up the hedgehog tempted with silver, squander the tongues of those who want to scold. Prayer books will come from Egypt, Ethiopia will put her hand before God. Kingdoms of the earth, sing to God, sing to the Lord, Who has ascended into Heaven heaven to the east, now He will give His voice a voice of power. Give glory to God, on Israel His majesty, and His power on the clouds. Wonderful is God in His saints, the God of Israel: He will give power and dominion to His people, blessed be God.
Psalm 139
Deliver me, O Lord, from a wicked man, deliver me from an unrighteous man, even though you have thought iniquity in your heart, all day the army of battle; sharpening his tongue, like a serpent, the poison of asps under their mouths. Save me, O Lord, from the hands of sinners, from the people of the unrighteous, save me, even thinking the back of my foot. Hiding the network of pride to me, and already stretching the network of my legs. On the path, lay temptations to me. Rech of the Lord: Thou art my God, inspire, O Lord, the voice of my supplication! Lord, Lord, the power of my salvation, Thou hast overshadowed my head on the day of battle. Do not betray me, O Lord, from my desire to a sinner: if you think of me, do not leave me, but not when they ascend. The head of their entourage, the work of their mouths, I will cover. Fiery coals will fall on them, if I lay down in passions, and they will not stand. A pagan man will not be corrected on earth: an unrighteous evil man will be caught into incorruption. Know that the Lord will bring judgment to the poor and revenge on the poor. Both the righteous will confess to Your name, and they will dwell in righteousness with Your face.
St. Archangel of God Michael

Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justina
O Holy Hieromartyr Cyprian and Martyr Justino! Listen to our humble prayer. Even if your temporary life was martyred for Christ, but you do not depart from us in spirit, always, according to the commandment of the Lord, teach us to walk and patiently bear your cross helping us.

Enemies and evil tongues are bad for both the person himself and his family. The point is not only that gossip and rumors spoil the reputation. They affect the subconscious, spoil life from the inside. How to resist other people's negative emotions in your address? Orthodox prayers will save you from sin and enlighten others.
Prayer from evil people is useful even to those who at first glance have no enemies. Life also turns dark sides, even for the most enlightened and kind people. A drunken bully or just wanting to have fun at someone else's expense at any time can choose you as a victim, and now a stranger can become an enemy. Another example: a thoughtlessly thrown word in line at the checkout or in a traffic jam can cause damage and discord in the life of the addressee of insults. Always be polite, because words have great power.
We will use verbal power from enemies and evil tongues. Prayers from evil people are effective if you yourself have managed to forgive and understand another person. From visible and invisible enemies, many failures, malfunctions at work and various misadventures are created. If all this lasts a long time, then it already becomes a sign of damage. In this case, a strong prayer is needed for the protection of the Archangel Michael.
bless those who curse
Prayer from evil must come from the very hearts of those who pray. And for this you must first forgive those who intentionally or not did bad things to you. Jesus Christ commanded to bless those who curse. He said that enemies help to renounce earthly things. Relying on the help of friends, we do not rely only on our own strength, our soul can be ruined by someone else's attention. Christ knew that a person has no other enemies than himself. Think about this thought, and you will understand how right He was.
Bless the ill-wishers. Strong and serious prayers do not work for someone who has not repented himself. Enemies, evil tongues, randomly thrown curses do not appear just like that. Troubles cannot fall on a person if he does not deserve them. The Lord sends trials, and enemies can be one such way to test your faith. God's help in receiving grace lies in the fact that you test yourself for strength. Realizing this, you will no longer hate enemies, visible and hidden, but will perceive a series of failures as a test, without targeted malice.
We make our own enemies
Patriarch Kirill says that one should not make close enemies out of hearts. Love for enemies, according to him, is not a good attitude towards the enemies of the Motherland, who go to our land with a sword. His Holiness is sure that we create enemies for ourselves. They are born out of envy and slander, from which so many Orthodox suffer.
Fighting enemies created in communication by ourselves is initially an empty, very stupid undertaking. No prayer to Archangel Michael will help if you have made enemies out of friends with your actions and words. The one who has forgiven the enemy emerges victorious from the duel. If a person fights with his neighbor, he will suffer greatly. Becoming the enemy at work is even easier, just being a little more diligent employee.
A strong icon for prayer from enemies - "The Tsaritsa". Usually it is sold in church shops. You need to pray for her with a simple, but very sincere text. She grants protection from envious people to your entire family:
“Oh, Mother of God, helper and protector of the human race, I pray you, our savior. For I trust only in you, and in grief I call you. Be merciful and help the servant of God (name), have pity and deliver from ailments, troubles and grief. Accept my tearful prayers, calm and rejoice us, who love your Beginningless Son and our God. Amen."
This short but powerful prayer works best with an icon. You will need to kneel before her and offer your petition to the Heavenly Queen. Buy also church candles and light them at the time of the ritual. She is also addressed to the Mother of God by a prayer from enemies and evil tongues. It is read under the same conditions for 9 days. To enhance the effect, try to offer a petition three times a day. Prayer to soften the hearts of enemies:
“Soften the hearts of evil human beings, Mother of God, and quench the misfortunes of those who hate us and remove all sorrow in our souls. We pray to Your holy image, we are moved by Your suffering and mercy for us, and we kiss Your wounds, but we are horrified by our arrows that torment You. Do not let us, Mother of Mercy, die from our cruelty and our loved ones. Give softness to evil hearts. Amen."
Prayers to God from corruption
God's help from enemies and evil tongues is given to those who do not doubt His mercy. If you understand that some kind of attack is being prepared against you at home or at work, pray to the Allfather. There is no need to take revenge and try to harm ill-wishers, especially if they are your relatives. Envious people need to be exterminated by opposite methods - love and understanding.
A text to soften the hearts of enemies is read not only for oneself, but also for loved ones. Cross the suffering person and whisper this text:
“My refuge and my protection, my God in whom I trust! Deliver you from the net of the catcher and from the fatal ulcer. He will overshadow you with his feathers, and under his wings you will be safe; a shield and a fence are His truth. The terrors of the night will not frighten you, the arrow that flies by day, the pestilence that walks in darkness, the pestilence that ravages at midnight. A thousand will fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand, but they will not touch you. Only you will look vigilantly with your eyes and you will see the retribution of sinners. For you have said: "The Lord is my hope", you have chosen the Most High as your refuge. Evil will not happen to you and the plague will not approach your abode, for he will command his angels about you - to protect you in all your ways. They will carry you in their hands, and you will not strike your foot against a stone. Step on the asp and the basilisk, you will trample on the lion and the dragon. Because he loved me, I will deliver him, save him, because he knew my name. He will call to me and I will hear him, I am with him in sorrow, I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days and show him my salvation.
In the temple, you can also read a prayer for the softening of enemy hearts. You need to stand in front of the image of your saint and ask him to tell God or Archangel Michael about your suffering. The above prayer also saves from damage and the evil eye.
The Lord loves all His children. But among themselves, the children of God will not find harmony in any way. They quarrel, argue, envy, engage in sorcery. This only hurts a good person. In Orthodoxy there is the most powerful prayer from enemies. It helps to protect the caller from persecutors, malicious envious people, gossips, and haters. But one must pray with the mind from the very depths of the heart, as Jesus taught. Let's figure out how to properly protect yourself with sacred texts so that enemies retreat, bypass.
How to pray for evil and enemies to retreat forever
Religion is a huge world with its own laws. It is impossible for an unbelieving person to simply read the text and receive grace. It works a little differently. It is necessary to be based on several postulates:
- The Lord sees the works of each person. Not only actions and words, but thoughts, feelings, intentions. You can't lie in prayer.
- Wish everyone well, even the fierce enemy. Remember the words of Christ: "Bless those who curse you."
- The right to punish and pardon belongs to God. Don't interfere with the process. Ask for protection and patronage, and not death, the dismissal of an enemy, troubles for him and other troubles.
Important about humility: the believer relies on the heavenly patron in everything, trusts in the Lord. This is the highest wisdom and skill at the same time. Humility is the recognition that God allows everything in this world, even enmity. Since I personally gave you such a test, it means that I considered it worthy and strong. Accept humbly, with gratitude, this cross.
What does prayer help with?
Orthodox texts from enemies visible and invisible are universal. It is not necessary to tell saints the details of one's own situation. They see. And for the personality of the believer, it is necessary to understand exactly when to refer to this or that text. There is a certain relative distribution. It was installed by the creators of prayer books:
- The Lord is asked for health and protection from enemies.
- In a working situation, patronize St. George, Our Lady of Seven Shoots.
- From damage, the black eye is protected by Saints Cyprian, Matronushka and others.
- Psalms will protect from any evil ill-wisher.
Attention: any prayer will help. You can read one in all situations. The main thing is with faith in patronage and kindness in the soul.
Basic Rules
Evil is easy to drive away. It is rooted not outside, but inside a person. Pray according to the rules, free yourself from negativity. Protecting from evil people, gossip, slander, witchcraft, merciless enemies, the glorification is carried out as follows:
- Place. At church or at home. In the latter situation, it is advisable to pray in front of the icons with lit candles.
- Thoughts and intentions. Creating a protective cover for yourself and family members. Giving understanding to those who transgress God's commandments. Rescue of the immortal souls of intruders and random villains.
- The essence of the process. Each word must be pronounced meaningfully. This means that it is desirable to think over the phrases. They contain light. It is these pure energies that the worshiper lets into the surrounding space.
- Details. The conversation with the saints is done on the knees or standing. Hands should be folded in front of the chest, palms together. Make the sign of the cross before and after the end of the doxology.
- How many. Protective texts should be constantly present in your life. This is not a conspiracy by Stepanova or Murphy. The goodness of the Orthodox acquires to the grave.
To whom to pray that enemies are afraid and fall behind
All current residents face targeted or accidental sabotage. The environment is filled with aggression. The latter is poured out on defenseless children with streams of curses, bad wishes in verbal and mental form, direct insults and attacks. Everyone needs a prayer amulet. Only the saint himself creates a sufficient field of light. His "mental dirt" does not hurt.
Children and relatives weakened by age and diseases are at particular risk. Energy vampires are looking for victims, and the evil eye of a black envious person can be encountered at any time. The protection is created like this:
- Before leaving the house, the morning prayer is read. It helps to bypass people who are unfriendly.
- The barrage is pronounced in a critical situation.
If the black blow has already been dealt, then it is advisable to read the most powerful doxology 40 times in a row. So, from bad neighbors, envious, treacherous colleagues, the 90th psalm will help. It is also used to reprimand damage.

It is better to read a prayer in front of an icon. If the affected person is too weak, then a close, loving person speaks for him. In addition, prayer to the holy martyr Kivrian and the martyr Justina against magicians and sorcerers helps from sorcery.

O long-suffering Mother of God, who exalted all the daughters of the earth, according to Your purity and the multitude of sufferings You have transferred to the earth, accept our many painful sighs and save us under the shelter of Your mercy.
