Verse: And look upon thy servants and upon thy works.

Apostle to the Philippians: Beloved, as you have always been obedient, not only in my presence, but much more now during my absence, work out your salvation with fear and trembling, because God works in you both the will and the action according to His good pleasure. Do everything without grumbling and doubting, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blemish in the midst of a rebellious and perverse generation, in which you shine like lights in the world, holding the word of life, to my praise in the day of Christ (Philippians 2:12-16 )

Gospel of Matthew: Ask, and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you; For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened. Is there a man among you who, when his son asks him for bread, would give him a stone? and when he asks for a fish, would you give him a snake? If then, being evil, you know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him (Matthew 7:7-11).

All people, without exception, dream that their undertakings, their conceived business, would have progressive success, a successful resolution. And almost everyone secretly hopes that someone will definitely help to implement them. There can really be many helpers, especially with the addition of “pseudo”. Unfortunately, in modern world- in the world of consumerism, the concept of "one's own shirt is closer to the body" has acquired a grandiose scope.

Even the most faithful and trusted people often first of all think: “what is my benefit?”, And they are ready to help, but only when it clearly lies on the surface. And by no means disinterested. To extend a hand to a neighbor, while substituting the bandwagon at the most crucial moment - alas, a common thing. Is it possible, in general, to find true and disinterested help? Undoubtedly. A good deed will always be supported by the Lord. With only one amendment - only if in your soul there is faith in the power of God's providence.

  • If you have clearly thought out the plan and place of action for what you have to do, calculated all the risks, necessary expenses, nuances in which force majeure circumstances may arise and ways to resolve them ... In a word, you have drawn up a strong business plan, enlist effective support, turning with a prayer to the Almighty:

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of Truth, Who is everywhere and fills everything, Treasury of the good and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Blessed, our souls. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I begin, to Your glory. Amen.

By doing so, you will receive God's blessing. And from time immemorial, she helped and supported the one who received it. It strengthens the connection with God, helps to gain success in the started or planned business.

  • If you doubt your success, your plan and partners seem to you not entirely reliable and solid, but the benefits of what you have planned seem very tempting, ask the Lord to guide you. One sentence is enough:

Lord, do what I need, not the way I want. Amen.

The point is not the number of words and their pronunciation in the Old Slavonic manner. Faith, a sincere message embedded in them - that's what is important.

  • In the event that your affairs go from bad to worse, your strength and self-confidence dry up, although it would seem that you are doing everything as it should - diligently and thoroughly, you need to receive effective instruction, recommendation. Perhaps, in this case, it is better than the prayer of the Optina elders and not to be found:

Lord, give me peace of mind meet whatever the coming day brings me.
Let me completely surrender to the will of Your Holy One.
In every hour of this day, instruct and support me in everything.
Whatever news I receive during the day, teach me to accept it with a calm soul and firm conviction that everything is Your Holy Will.
In all my words and deeds guide my thoughts and feelings.
In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything is sent down by You.
Teach me to act directly and reasonably with each member of my family, without embarrassing or upsetting anyone.
Lord, give me the strength to endure the fatigue of the coming day and all the events during the day.
Guide my will and teach me to pray, believe, hope, endure, forgive and love everyone without hypocrisy. Amen.

By the way, with this prayer it is possible and even necessary to start not only any business, but also every day we meet. When we sincerely hope for God's help, it will surely come. The Lord will certainly send his sign, send to help your holy intercessor, Guardian Angel, called to do the will of God, protecting us all of our earthly life. In addition, prayer sets up peace and warns against falling into sin. It also opens our hearts to God's grace.

“Glory to Thee, Omnipotent! By divine will and philanthropic intentions, he allowed me to wake up from sleep and start my day. At your threshold I pray humbly: bless me for work, protect me from evil and disease. Amen!"

Or, asking for blessings, intercession, believing in what has been said with all your heart, say the following:

“To you, the Creator and my God, glorified in the Holy Trinity, I worship, handing over my soul. I pray for blessings and mercy. Deliver me from all the evil of the world and the devil, from the bodily and witchcraft. May this day be lived without sin in the world to Your glory, Lord! Amen!"

Does word order matter? - Not. Faith is what you need when you turn to God for help. It is bad when words are thoughtlessly memorized and do not come from the heart, but fall from the tongue.

Prayer to the patron saint

At baptism - naming - each of us is given the name of a patron saint. They are our guides in earthly life. We can always turn to them for help when our hearts are bad or anxious: in illness, in doubt at a crossroads, praying for success.

If you don’t find prayers in the prayer book before starting any business with your “nominal” God's saints, your call for help will be heard by them when you use this prayer:

Pray to God for me, holy servant of God (name), as I diligently resort to you, a quick helper and prayer book for my soul. Bless me for the conceived work and send patience and good luck. May all efforts turn into success, and undertakings not end in failure. I rely on you. Amen.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Incorporeal and immortal, like our souls, Guardian Angels, inspiring us with good and correct thoughts, will also gladly assist in a good deed. They will support the ward with their endless knowledge in difficult times, intercede before the Almighty for success in an important matter for a person. They are addressed with these words:

“Angel of God, keep that saint, given to me from the Lord from heaven to keep me, I ask you, I pray you, save, enlighten and save from all evil, guide me to a good deed and let me direct good luck. Amen"

Thanks for the help

Starting a business, we read a prayer, ask for help, appeal to higher powers. But we should not forget about such a thing as "debt by payment is red." God's help is not a miracle shop. You mumbled the memorized words, served your duty, and manna from heaven fell on you. That doesn't happen. Each of us is given a chance. It should not be overlooked or underestimated. Just as one should cry out to God with faith, so one should give thanks for the success gained, the experience, the instruction received - with sincerity. It only strengthens God's favor to the one who prays.

Gratitude can be expressed in words such as:

“Thank you, God, for your Spirit in me, which makes me prosper and blesses my life. God, You are the source of my life of abundance. prayers conspiracies for good luckI fully trust in You, knowing that You will always guide me and multiply my blessings. Thank you, God, for Your wisdom that fills me with brilliant ideas and Your blessed omnipresence that provides for the generous fulfillment of all needs. My life is enriched in every way. You are my source, dear God, and in You all needs are fulfilled. Thank you for Your rich perfection that blesses me and my fellowmen. God, Your love fills my heart and attracts all that is good. Due to Your infinite nature, I live in abundance. Amen"

And yet, like any call for help, the prayer at the end of the case should begin with the Lord's Prayer (Our Father):

Our Father, Who art in heaven!
May your name be hallowed,
Yes kingdom come Your,
Let your will be done
Like in heaven and on earth.
Give us our daily bread today;
And leave us our debts,
Like we also leave our debtor;
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Father, and Son, and Holy Spirit forever.
Amen.

The one who believes in the eternal and unshakable is rewarded according to the strength of faith. Prayer without it is a waste of time and unnecessary shaking of the air. Sincerity and more sincerity, then the words you said will find the shortest way to the Powers of Heaven and find help.

Orthodoxy has many different prayers. Some of them are devoted to requests for a successful start to any business. Starting something new is never easy, especially if you are full of doubts.

Prayer to Nicholas the Pleasant

Nicholas the Pleasant, also called the Miracle Worker, is the patron of all children, as well as traveling people. Several prayers are dedicated to him. After reading one of them, you can ask him for help in business and important undertakings.

"O Saint Nicholas, our great intercessor, hear my prayer. Help me, a sinner and shackled by despondency, to go through my life path with love and dignity. Pray to God for a prosperous start to any of my business, good and bright. Pray to God that he would follow my life day and night. Deliver me from doubt, from laziness, from greed, from the difficulties that oppress me. Give me strength to walk my path from beginning to end, so that the Lord our God may see what I am capable of for the sake of His mercy. Rejoice, O great Nikolai the Pleasant, as I remember that you are my shepherd. Deliver me from the wrath of God. Pray for His mercy, for grace and for the remission of sins, for I glorify Him in my deeds and words. Amen".

Nicholas the Wonderworker can help in any work and any undertakings. Most often, it is customary to pray to the saint for help in matters that begin as planned. The saint helps to start any business that we are afraid to start for some reason.

Prayer to the guardian angel

Prayer to the guardian angel is read immediately before important matter. You can read it for the dream to come when you know what's coming tomorrow hard work, the start of a new business. Remember that any prayer must be read with maximum concentration.

“Vouche me, my guardian angel, for high, bright, good and necessary deeds. Give me strength to go all the way from beginning to end. Stay with me in the coming difficult period, as you are my salvation. Do not leave me with your mercy in moments of sorrow, anger or despair. Help me start my business, clear my path of troubles, evil people, bad intentions. May the will of the Lord be done by your hand, if so it is written for me. Help me accept what I cannot change and help me change what I can change in my life. Give me the strength to start any good deed, for I glorify God with my deeds. Amen".

When to offer prayer?

We need to think that if the Lord is with us, then it does not matter who is against us. For everything to work out, we need to trust the Creator more, only He can arrange everything in the best way for us. “Thy will be done,” we repeat these words daily, so let us believe them with all our hearts.

To whom to pray?

Having enlisted the support of the Almighty Forces, before doing a good deed, it is imperative to forgive all offenses, sins, and also ask for forgiveness from those who have been offended. If everything is done correctly, then our petition will surely be heard. But who still needs to pray, who is this Holy Grace that helps us all in business?
