Family is the most valuable thing in the life of any person. It is she who becomes a reliable haven and source of peace during any turmoil: whether it be problems at work, in personal life, difficult situations. However, like any relationship dear to the heart, it must be valued and protected, keeping grains of good and sweeping aside all evil. Prayer for the preservation of the family can help you with this.

What is prayer?

Before answering a number of questions regarding the preservation of the family hearth, let's clarify the very concept of prayer. It implies a certain mental or voiced appeal of a person to God: it can come from the depths of the soul (when the prayer comes up with the text of the prayer in the course of the appeal) or be composed in poetic form. A prayer is said for the preservation of the family (like any other) in a low voice, in a whisper or in a singsong voice.

An appeal to God can be presented in the form:

• requests (“Please solve my situation ... Help!”);
• question and reproach (in biblical texts they speak of “murmuring against God”);
• forgiveness and repentance (“Forgive me”…), etc.

When is prayer used?

Any prayer is associated with any problems or difficulties on life path asking. For example, a prayer for the family of the Most Holy Theotokos makes it possible to preserve its integrity. Each petition is purely individual and applies to each specific person and occasion. For example, some women turn to saints with a request to return their husbands to the family, thinking that they were “bewitched” (forced to love another with the help of magic). Others were worried about the health of their spouse, who went to work far from home, and so on.

Prayer can be associated with a solemn (birth of a child, wedding, promotion, etc.) or disturbing, or even tragic event(illness or injury of a loved one, bankruptcy and other problems).

How to pray?

Any request to the Almighty, like a prayer for the preservation of the family, involves a certain ritual. For example, it is traditionally believed that in order to pray, a person needs:

• get on your knees;
• raise your eyes to the sky (ceiling or look at the icon);
• close hands (palms together, fingers together).

However, this is not quite true. Prayer for the family of the Blessed Virgin Mary can be voiced in any form (for example, lying on the sofa). It should be pronounced at any convenient time of the day. The main thing is that the text of the prayer reflects the purpose of the appeal.

Each prayer for the preservation of the family is associated with a certain hope and faith of a person that everything that he asked for will be fulfilled.

Whom to pray for the preservation of the family?

As in Greek and Egyptian mythology, bible stories talk about a variety of saints, who are advised to ask for a request from experts in the field of religious teachings. Moreover, each saint, according to legend, is responsible for a certain “sector”. For example, we can recall the appeal of one of the heroines of the movie "D'Artagnan and the Three Musketeers" Catherine, who sang the song: "Saint Catherine! Send me a gentleman…” In this case, the saint was the patroness of unmarried ladies and helped them find suitable suitors.

So, Holy Virgin Maria has been the patroness of the family hearth for many centuries. "Semistrelnitsa" saved families from vain rumors, from evil and betrayal (both on the part of a man and a woman).

That is why the prayer for the family of the Most Holy Theotokos is so especially true for homes in which husbands are forced, by the nature of their activities, to often leave for distant lands.

Prayer to the Holy Mother of God for the preservation of the family

The prayer to the Mother of God for the preservation of the family has several interpretations, the most popular of which is the following:

Regardless of where the appeal to the Virgin takes place, it is necessary, after pronouncing the cherished words, to put exactly three candles in front of the image and light them. Next, you need to wait until the candles burn out to the end, cross yourself three times and sprinkle yourself with holy water.

Prayer to the Holy Matrona of Moscow for the preservation of the family

Another petition for wives and mothers includes the preservation of the family. They say the following aloud:

Since Matrona was considered the patroness of the poor, the suffering, and also, speaking modern language, "responsible for charity", in addition to asking for help, the person asking, according to custom, had to make a certain donation for her. To this end, you need to treat some homeless person with one of the following list of products:

• black bread;
• cookies;
• raisins;
• walnuts;
• crackers;
• flour;
• honey or sugar.

In addition, in front of the image of the Matrona, as a sign of reverence, you can put a bunch of live chrysanthemums. According to legend, it is worth asking for help from the Matrona if frequent quarrels began to arise in your family due to problems with housing. For example, there is no way you can buy a separate apartment or house and are forced to live with your parents or other relatives. You can also turn to her when there are frequent scandals in the family about raising children or problems at work.

Prayer to confessors Samon, Aviv and Gury

The preservation of the family was considered the most intimate in the life of any person, regardless of his religion and nationality. In addition to the female images of saints, since ancient times, members of the same clan could seek spiritual help from the confessors and martyrs Samon, Aviv and Guriy.

These saints are considered special patrons of a happy life together spouses. According to legend, these great martyrs were publicly executed by pagans because of their rejection of the faith of their fellow tribesmen (they denied polytheism and prayed to only one god).

It is this saint that is popularly called the “apostle of love”, since for his own he experienced persecution by the city authorities and idolaters, and was imprisoned. As a result, he lived in torment and exile until the age of 105.

It is believed that parents of schoolchildren who have any psychological problems on the basis of family troubles, to normalize relations between a man and a woman in marriage, etc.

Prayer of the Mother of God Semistrelnitsa

One more for the strong family union- an appeal to depicts the Virgin without a Child with seven arrows piercing Her heart. It is believed that this amount is enough to neutralize all the negativity that can fall on a happy family at any time.

Turning to the Semistrelnitsa, those praying usually ask her to protect their family hearth from human envy, from illness, from carnal temptation, from the evil eye, etc. The image of the Virgin must be hung close front door(or above it). They say that in this way you will not allow those people who wish you and your loved ones evil into your house.

In conclusion, let us say that regardless of whether you direct your appeal about family well-being to God, saints, archangels or great martyrs, you need to back up your words with faith. Otherwise, you won't succeed! Peace in your home, prosperity, love and great universal happiness!

You need to pray for your family not only in times of difficulties, but every day - in happiness and prosperity, as in poverty and illness. Prayer for the family helps in maintaining marriage, protects from adversity, protects against betrayal, bestows happiness and completeness of relationships.
