(And sprinkle the item with holy water three times)

The Monk Seraphim of Sarov taught everyone the following prayer rule:

Having risen from sleep, every Christian, standing in front of the holy icons, let him read, then,.

Having completed this rule, let him go about his business to which he has been assigned or called. While working at home or on the road somewhere, let him read quietly: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner (or sinful) , and if others surround him, then, while doing business, let him say with his mind only: Lord have mercy and continues until lunch.

Just before lunch, let him perform the above morning rule. After lunch, while doing his job, he reads quietly: Most Holy Theotokos, save me, a sinner (or sinful) or Lord Jesus Christ, Mother of God, have mercy on me, a sinner. (or sinful) and let this continue until sleep. When going to bed, let every Christian read the above morning rule again; after that, let him fall asleep, protecting himself with the sign of the cross.”

“By adhering to this rule,” says Father Seraphim, “one can achieve a measure of Christian perfection, for the above three prayers are the foundation of Christianity: the first, as a prayer given by the Lord Himself, is a model of all prayers; the second was brought from heaven by the Archangel in greeting to the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Lord; The symbol briefly contains the saving dogmas of the Christian faith.” For those who, for various reasons, are unable to follow this small rule, St. Seraphim advised reading it in any position: during classes, while walking, and even in bed, citing the words of Holy Scripture as the basis for this: Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of truth, Who is everywhere and fulfills everything, Treasure of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Good One, our souls.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Three times)

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Lord have mercy. (Thrice)

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as it is in heaven and on earth. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Every person baptized in the Orthodox faith must know three prayers. Of course, there are prayer books that indicate “prayer for every need” - morning prayer, for starting any new business, prayer before a meal, and many others. Not everyone knows them by heart, and it is quite acceptable to turn to a prayer book and say prayers as needed in print. However, an Orthodox Christian must know these three prayers by heart so that he can read them at any time in his life and teach them to others.

The main prayer of an Orthodox Christian
"Our Father"

Our Father, who art in heaven!
Hallowed be Thy name,
may your kingdom come,
Thy will be done
as in heaven and on earth.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts,
just as we also leave our debtors;
and do not lead us into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

The Jesus Prayer is a prayer addressed to Jesus Christ

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner

You should also say prayers in Church Slavonic so that your perception is not overshadowed by the symbols of the language we speak every day.
Church-language prayer encourages humility and a return to origins - for centuries, unchangeable words live in our ancestral memory.

Say prayer in church and privately (in your home), and if you think about when, how and why to pray, read the daily prayer of St. Philaret.
In these words there is tenderness and consolation for the soul suffering from prayer.

Prayer of Saint Philaret

Lord, I don’t know what to ask of You.
You alone know what I need.
You love me more than I can love myself.
Father, give to Your servant what I myself cannot ask for.
I do not dare to ask for either a cross or consolation,
I just stand before You.
My heart is open to You.
You see needs that I don't know.
See and create according to Your mercy.
Smite and heal, overthrow and raise me.
I stand in awe and remain silent before Your holy will
and Your destinies incomprehensible to me.
I sacrifice myself to You.
I have no other desire
except the desire to do Your will.
Teach me to pray, pray in me yourself!
Amen.

(Rising from sleep, before doing anything else, stand reverently, presenting yourself before the All-Seeing God, and, making the sign of the cross, say):

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

(Then wait a little until all your feelings come to silence and your thoughts leave everything earthly, and then say the following prayers, without haste and with heartfelt attention:

Beatitudes, virtues, mortal sins and the fight against them

Gospel beatitudes

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for to them is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who cry, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied. Blesseds of mercy, for there will be mercy. Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for these shall be called sons of God. Blessed is the expulsion of truth for the sake of them, for those are the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are you when they revile you, and ridicule you, and say all kinds of evil things about you lying to Me for my sake. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is abundant in heaven. (Gospel of Matthew, ch. 5, v. 3-12)

Three virtues:

Seven deadly sins

1. Sadness, laziness. 2. Anger. 3. Dejection. 4. Gluttony. 5. Fornication. 6. Love of money. 7. Pride - Vanity.

Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov defines sin as the distortion or immoderation of the use of God's gifts. This means that any desire, feeling, thought and deed, depending on the measure and aspirations, can be righteous or sinful. For example, the following are not a sin: moderate rest after work, anger in defense of the weak or the truth, from time to time - grief over one’s imperfections, pleasure from eating in moderation, pleasure in an honest marriage from the physical union of the flesh with the wife, possession of the material world for the glory of God as an increase in love, joy from the created creation (realized thought, word, action), which is based on a Good beginning.

The connection of temptations. “The end of the thought of gluttony is the thought of fornication, and the end of the thought of fornication is the thought of sadness, because sadness and despondency will immediately follow in the one overcome by such thoughts, after he has become sober.” Venerable Nile of Sinai (IV-V centuries)

“Despondency sometimes comes from pleasure; and sometimes because there is no fear of God in a person.” Venerable John Climacus (VII century AD)

We must fight melancholy and despondency immediately, because the next step after despondency is despair, which already leads to death. Hieromartyr Arseny (Zhadanovsky), Bishop of Serpukhov (1874-1937).

A weapon against despondency.

Save yourself from despondency by crying about your sins. Rev. Joseph of Optina (1837-1911).

During tribulation, expect a peaceful dispensation, and during a peaceful dispensation, expect a sorrowful dispensation. In this temporary life, peaceful and sorrowful experiences alternate. Schema-abbot Ioann (Alekseev) (1873-1958).

A person who has death before his eyes constantly overcomes despondency. "Fatherland".
