Prayer for the completion of the work begun. Prayer before the beginning and at the end of any task - a recipe for the heavenly tabernacles of Valaam


Before starting any business, a person is always overcome by doubts and worries. Even after calculating and analyzing possible risks and consequences, you can never say with one hundred percent certainty that everything will be fine. In order not to worry again, a prayer is read before starting any task.

The meaning of prayer

All people hope that any of their undertakings will always lead to a successful outcome and end happily. However, the business started does not always meet a person’s expectations. There are many factors that can lead to collapse. And the worst thing is that it is impossible to predict all of them and assess the degree of risk. We can only hope that everything will be successful.

To calm down and tune in to the right mood, a special prayer is read. Such a petition will help a believer to receive the help and protection of the saints.

Reading sacred texts allows you to focus on business, calm unreasonable fears, pacify your spirit and clear your mind. This is very important, because it is because of rash actions and imaginary fears that people choose the wrong path.

Often the cause of failure is the envy and hatred of the people around us. A prayer read in front of holy images drives away negativity from a person. The saints protect the believer from the sins of our world, allowing him to focus on building his own business and achieving success.

A prayer read helps a person in the following ways:

  • makes it possible to see the most correct decision among various choices;
  • gives protection to the saints in the person of the Guardian Angel;
  • gives determination and inspires;
  • protects against deception, fraud and theft, as well as ill-wishers and enemies;
  • helps in any endeavor.

A prayer before starting any business is said:

  • Lord God;
  • Matrona of Moscow;
  • Nicholas the Wonderworker;
  • Jesus Christ.

The strongest and most effective petition is considered to be one addressed to the Lord God. When reading it, you need to do the following:

  • make an appeal to God and ask him to cleanse yourself of sins and evil spirits;
  • then a request is made for support in all endeavors;
  • then you need to turn to Jesus and ask for his support.

Before starting any new work, you can simply say with faith in your heart, “Lord, help.”

Many believers, before opening a new business, often turn to Matrona of Moscow with a prayer request. During her lifetime, the saint listened to everyone who turned to her even with the most insignificant request. She should read a prayer service if the new job poses a danger to life and health.

You can also read a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker. During his lifetime, he was famous for helping everyone in need. And there are legends about the miracles he created.

To receive support in any endeavor, you can turn to the Holy Spirit for help. A special prayer can be read in any prayer book. You can also say the request in your own words. If a person believes passionately, then his request will definitely be heard.

You can also get help in starting your own business from your Guardian Angel. He will be an excellent assistant in any endeavor and will provide a person with the necessary protection.

When reading a prayer for the saints to hear, you need to use the name given at baptism.

What prayers to read

Jesus Christ

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.

Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen.

The life of a Christian is always filled with God. Prayer with Him is a conversation in which a person opens his heart and asks for help from the Heavenly Father. Priests advise doing this daily, morning and evening.

In addition, there is a prayer before the start of any undertaking, which is useful to read before the start of any undertaking. By reading it, a person invites the Creator to participate and bless the work of his hands.

Prayers before starting any good deed

How to pray before starting anything

Prayer before any undertaking does not guarantee 100% success, because God is a person, and not a rabbit’s foot worn for good luck. In His plans there may be a lesson for a person or a test, so some undertaking will not take place or will not be successful as the person intended. But in any case, asking for a blessing from the Creator to complete a deed, asking for a blessing for your hands is important and necessary for a true believer.

Advice! Orthodox people must always turn to the Holy Spirit; the words for this are written on the first pages of every printed prayer book. You can read them in the morning or before any specific work, or you can memorize them and say them to yourself always and everywhere.

You can do this briefly: “God bless!” or full text. Moreover, this will not only support the right attitude, but will also help convince oneself and others that a person is doing a godly deed.

More articles:

For success you should say to yourself:

  • I am starting a right and godly work;
  • I asked the Father for help;
  • God will definitely help me, because I am doing the right and righteous thing.

In addition to positive motivation for yourself, these listings will help you be sure and look frankly at the work ahead - is it possible that the Father really wants it to be completed? It is clear that before the robbery, these words will only show all the illegality and sinfulness of the work.

Prayer to Our Lord

“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. Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen."

A Christian should always remember that his life does not belong to him, but only God is the King of everything, including his life. A person cannot control all events, but he can trust and ask Him for control over his life. After all, God's control means a long and blessed life, and a life that is completely controlled by man himself is usually filled with grief and disappointment.

Therefore, you should take a couple of minutes and think about the upcoming accomplishments, and if they do not contradict Scripture and God’s Will, then ask the Creator for help.

Prayer to the King of Heaven

Who can you pray to for the beginning of any business?

The host of Orthodox saints includes many people who suffered for Christ and are martyrs who, after death, intercede for people who still live on a sinful earth. Therefore, it is quite possible to ask them for help in some matter, so that they intercede before the Heavenly Father.

One of these saints is Nicholas the Wonderworker, to whom you can turn for help in doing any business. During his life, the elder did not refuse help to anyone and after death he helps. The prayer to him is simple and consists of a couple of lines, but its pronunciation will help a person find strength and courage for any achievement.

Prayer to Nicholas the Ugodnik

“Pleasant Nicholas, Protector and Savior. Grant me peace in vain affairs and do not be angry at a sinful request. Endow me with diligent hard work and protect me from hefty failures. Thy will be done. Amen."

Saint Matrona of Moscow is also known to all Orthodox Christians as a helper to every sufferer and an advisor to those who seek. People turn to her for help when they have to deal with something that in any way affects their health or life: a long journey, surgery, treatment, flight, etc.

We all have important events in our lives, before which we ask God for help and intercession. Whether it’s a medical operation, solving a work issue, a business problem, or an upcoming exam, everything requires God’s intercession. Let's find out how to ask God for help, what should be done before an important event, how to read a prayer for good luck in business, and what should be done after our request has been fulfilled and the matter has been successfully completed?

What to do before an important event

In many ways, success in our future affairs is hampered by past and not always unfavorable affairs, with which we should come to terms. The best way of spiritual cleansing for an Orthodox Christian is to attend church services, the sacraments of confession and communion.

Many people mistrust the sacrament of confession, not understanding its meaning. During confession, we repent of our committed sins before God. The priest in the sacrament acts as a witness of our repentance and prays for the forgiveness of the sins of the confessor. What we have said moves away from us, and with prayer the burden of the past leaves our spirit. If this is the first confession in your life, try to talk with the priest before it in the format of a confidential conversation. He will answer your questions and tell you how to prepare for your first confession.

The sacrament of communion is the fundamental sacrament of the Russian Orthodox Church. During communion, a person becomes one with God, touching Him. At this moment, the Divine principle illuminates us, and at this moment we are renewed not only spiritually, but also physically.

We will definitely talk about the sacraments of the Church in the following articles, but now let’s return to the topic of our conversation - prayers before starting any good deed.

Prayer before starting anything

A prayer for success in business is read both at home and in church.

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.
Bless, Lord, and help me, a sinner, to complete the work I have begun, for Your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of Your Father without beginning, You declared with Your most pure lips that without Me you cannot do anything. My Lord, Lord, with faith in my soul and heart spoken by You, I fall down in Your goodness: help me, a sinner, to complete this work, which I have begun, in You, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, through the prayers of the Mother of God and all Your saints . Amen.

Prayer for success in business

Home prayer for success in business is our private petition to God. In order to ask for God's intercession during general prayer, you can order a prayer service in the temple. Thus, prayer for you will be offered during the general worship service, and will become a common prayer, about which the Savior said:

“Truly I also tell you that if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven, for where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them.”
(Matthew 18, 19-20)

In order to order a prayer service for success in business, you need to go to the church shop of the nearest temple and place an order there. You can also order a prayer service for success in business online on the Treba Online website. Your needs will be immediately transferred to the temple or monastery of your choice without any commissions.

Should I light a candle when praying?

The candle is a symbol of our bloodless sacrifice and prayerful appeal to God. When reading a prayer for success in business, light a candle in front of the image of the Savior.

Prayer at the end of the case

After the matter for which you read the prayer for good luck in business, asking for God's help, was successfully completed, read a prayer of gratitude.

You are the fulfillment of all good things, O my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only One who is most merciful, O Lord, glory to You.
It is worthy to eat as you truly bless Theotokos, Ever-Blessed and Most Immaculate and Mother of our God. We magnify You, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption.

Thanksgiving prayer

Also, after the matter for which you asked for God’s intercession was successfully completed, you can order a thanksgiving prayer service in the temple. This can be done either in a church shop, or by ordering a thanksgiving prayer service online.

Text of the church prayer before the start of a good deed

Troparions to God the Lord

Troparion, tone 2: Creator and creator of all things, / God, the works of our hands, begun for Thy glory / Hastily correct with Thy blessing / and deliver us from all evil // as one is Omnipotent and Lover of Mankind.

Glory, voice 6th:

Quick to intercede and strong to help / present yourself to the grace of Thy power now / and having blessed strengthened / and to complete the good intentions of Thy servants, bring about / all that you want // as the mighty God can do.

And now, the same voice:

The intercession of Christians is not shameful, / the intercession to the Creator is immutable, / do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, / but precede, as the Good One, those who faithfully call Thee to help us: / hasten to prayer and strive to supplicate, // ever interceding, O Theotokos, those who honor Thee.

Prokeimenon, tone 4: Be the Lord our God upon us, and correct the works of our hands.

Verse: And look upon thy servants and thy works.

Apostle to the Philippians: Beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, because God is at work in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Do everything without complaining or doubting, so that you may be blameless and pure, children of God without blame in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, in which you shine as lights in the world, containing 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 you therefore, being evil, 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).

The Great Litany

- Look, O lover of mankind, with your merciful eye on your servant (slave) name, who fall in faith to your compassion, and having heard their (his) prayers, bless their (his) good intention and work, and begin safely and hastily, apart from any obstacle, to glory accomplish yours, as we pray to the all-powerful king, hear and have mercy.

- In everything, promote everyone for the good, Lord, mercifully and thy servant named, hasten, O Savior, and hasten for the successful completion of their (his) work, bless, pray, Almighty Master, hear and have mercy.

- Assign your guardian angel to this cause, O gracious Lord, and remove all obstacles of visible and invisible enemies, and create haste in everything for the successful completion of those who do it, we pray, most gracious Savior, hear and have mercy.

- For your glory, commanding that all things be done, O Lord, your servant is named, for your glory those who begin their work, grant with your blessing successful haste with contentment to complete, granting health to them (him) with prosperity, we pray, O all-gifted Creator, hear and have mercy.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, accept our earnest prayer and bless the good intention and work of your servants (slave) to begin successfully, and to complete it without any obstacle to your glory. Make haste as a worker and correct the works of your hands, and hasten to accomplish them by the power of your Most Holy Spirit! For it is yours to have mercy and save us, our God, and we send up glory to you, with your beginningless Father, and your most holy and good and life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Every business that a believer begins must have God’s blessing. Be it a meal, a task at work, even just leaving the house to go to the store. And to receive approval, you need to make an appeal to the Lord - read a prayer before starting any business. It is short and simple, so anyone can pronounce it.


Our life is in His hands

A Christian should remember that earthly life belongs entirely to the Creator. Even if a person does not believe in God, he cannot completely control everything that happens around him. Although some may have such an illusion - this is just a deception of the mind, which it believes in for the sake of complacency. Therefore, before starting any work, prayer is necessary.

In the Orthodox Church it is customary to turn to the Holy Spirit. The words can be found in any prayer book at the very beginning. It’s good to memorize them and repeat them to yourself when necessary. You can also pray briefly: “Lord, bless!” But it’s better not to be lazy and spend a few seconds, because a calm conscience is much more important, and besides, it will make any undertaking enjoyable.


Who else can you pray to for the beginning of any business?

There are also saints who are especially loved by Russians; turning to them for help before starting any business is already a centuries-old tradition. The prayers are read as in Russian, this is not decisive - God understands all languages. The fact that the Church Slavonic language is still used in worship should not prevent a person from communicating with the Creator in his native, familiar dialect.

So, if you have already turned to the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, before starting work you can pray to various saints:

  • Martyr Tryphon has earned the trust of ordinary people, whom he helps not only to find a place to work, but also to perform their duties well.
  • Guardian Angel - called upon to protect your body from illnesses, your soul from temptations. He will also provide assistance in solving various everyday matters and help solve problems with his superiors, because this is his task. True, unkind thoughts and deeds drive the Angels away; they cannot stand this, because their souls are pure.
  • The patron saint is the one whose name was taken at baptism. You should learn the troparion (sung in church on the days of remembrance of saints) and pray before starting any work, but it should only be good.
  • The Mother of God is the patroness of all humanity. Nothing earthly was alien to her (except sins, of course), she did housework, looked after her husband, little Jesus, walked great distances, carried water from a well, etc. Therefore, the Queen of Heaven perfectly understands all your needs and will not leave your request for help unanswered.

Having said a prayer before starting a new business, you should do your work honestly and with full dedication. After all, this is not a spell, the saints will not do anything for you, they only help. Prayer gives strength, it is necessary, but does not eliminate the need to do what is required. Even the apostles earned a living, endured poverty, heat and cold.

  • After the work day is over, you should not forget about gratitude. This will help avoid such sins as pride. Otherwise, a person can attribute success only to his own strengths; he will soon begin to believe that he does not need the Lord, and from there it is not far to disaster.

Once a prayer is read for success, it is necessary to thank for the benefit provided. Even if everything didn’t turn out exactly the way you wanted. In this case, you should first look within yourself for the reason. After all, any charitable deed is simply doomed to prosperity. God help you!

There are many different prayers in Orthodoxy. 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 Ugodnik

Nicholas the Pleasant, also called the Wonderworker, is the patron saint 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 endeavors.

“O Most Holy Nicholas, our great intercessor, hear my prayer. Help me, a sinner and bound by despondency, to walk my life’s path with love and dignity. Pray to God for a successful start to any of my business, good and bright. Pray to God that he will watch over my life day and night. Deliver me from doubts, 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 can see what I am capable of for the sake of His mercy. Rejoice, O great Nicholas the Pleasant, for I remember that you are my shepherd. Deliver me from the wrath of God. Pray for His mercy, grace and forgiveness of sins, for I glorify Him in my actions and words. Amen".

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

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

A prayer to the guardian angel is read immediately before an important task. You can read it before bedtime, when you know that tomorrow there will be hard work, the beginning of a new business. Remember that any prayer must be read with maximum concentration.

“Vouchsafe me, my guardian angel, for high, bright, good and necessary deeds. Give me strength to go all the way from start to finish. 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 from troubles, evil people, and bad intentions. May the will of the Lord be done by your hand, if so written for me. Help me accept the things I cannot change, and help me change the things I can change in my life. Give me strength to start any good deed, for I glorify God with my deeds. Amen".

Even if you read the usual prayer “Our Father” before an important task, this will be a big step forward for you, because this is the main prayer for all occasions. It is read before meals, before an important task, as a prayer of gratitude, as a prayer for health, for happiness, for solving problems. Good luck and don't forget to press the buttons and
