They can be read not only by schoolchildren and students, but also by their parents, friends - everyone who cares about the fate of the future young specialist. Who can you turn to in such a need, what saints help you study successfully? Find out from our article.

Prayer for study before the icon of Adding Mind

Believers call on the Most Holy Theotokos in a variety of situations. Prayers for studying at school are said in front of a rare image of the Queen of Heaven. It was painted by an artist who lived in Rybinsk in the 17th century. The story took place after the church schism that took place during the reign of Patriarch Nikon. A certain icon painter tried to understand the theological subtleties that led to the controversy, but could not. As a result, the unfortunate man lost his mind.

In moments of enlightenment, which sometimes happened, the master began to pray to the Mother of God. And then one day she herself appeared to him in a dream and ordered him to paint an icon. But the artist had to convey his vision exactly, in every detail. The work did not go quickly, but in the end it was finished, and a clear mind returned to the man. And the image has since been known in Russia under the name “Adding Mind.”

• The icon has a non-standard composition - the figures of Christ and the Mother of God are almost completely hidden under the vestments (it copies the phelonion, part of the vestments of the Orthodox clergy).
• The heads of the saints are covered with large crowns.
• Angels are depicted above them.
• Jesus has a power in his hand.

Surprisingly, it turned out that the same composition exists in Catholic Church, only not in the form of an icon, but in the form of a wooden statue. It was kept in the Italian city of Loreta, in the small temple of Santa Casa (holy house). It is believed that it was built by St. Helena in the place where the Virgin Mary lived. Then he was miraculously transported to Italy. Unfortunately, both the original icon and statue were lost.

You can pray in front of the image not only on the eve of important tests. It’s better to do this every day, because success in any business comes from consistency.

Prayer for success in studies:

“Oh Holy Virgin! You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ! You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates. Have mercy on us too, who have gravely sinned and failed to fulfill the commandments of God, who have broken the vows of baptism and vows of monasticism and many others that we promised to fulfill. When the Holy Spirit retreated from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit. The mind has become fussy with vanity of thoughts, oblivion about God has darkened our souls, and now all kinds of sadness, sorrow, illness, hatred, evil, enmity, vindictiveness, gloating and other sins oppress the heart. And, having no joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beg Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send the Comforter Spirit to us, as He sent Him to the apostles, so that, comforted and enlightened by Him, we will sing a song of thanks to You : Rejoice, Holy Mother of God, who has added wisdom to our salvation. Amen".

Prayer to Saint Tatiana for studies

Oh, holy martyr Tatiano, bride of Your Sweetest Bridegroom Christ! To the Lamb of the Divine Lamb! The dove of chastity, the fragrant body of suffering, like a royal garment, covered with the face of heaven, now rejoicing in eternal glory, from the days of her youth a servant of the Church of God, observing chastity and loving the Lord above all the blessings! We pray to you and we ask you: heed the petitions of our hearts and do not reject our prayers, grant purity of body and soul, inhale love for Divine truths, lead us onto a virtuous path, ask God for angelic protection for us, heal our wounds and ulcers, youth protect us, grant us a painless and comfortable old age, help us in the hour of death, remember our sorrows and grant us joy, visit us who are in the prison of sin, instruct us in repentance quickly, kindle the flame of prayer, do not leave us orphans, let your suffering be glorifying, we send praise to the Lord, now, and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen

The story of Saint Tatiana

Lived at the end of the 2nd century. in Rome, her memory falls on January 25. The girl's parents were Christians and passed on their faith to their daughter. Having become an adult, Tatyana decided to devote her life to God. During the persecution organized by Emperor Severus, she was arrested. The martyr was brought to a pagan temple to force her to sacrifice to the gods. But through Tatyana’s prayer, the idol was destroyed. Then they began to brutally torture her - they beat her and threw her into a pit with wild lions.

But the torment, which lasted for several days, brought no results. The saint's head was cut off. Why did the martyr begin to be considered a study assistant? The fact is that the first Russian university, opened in Moscow, celebrates its birthday on the very day when the church remembers the Christian feat of St. Tatiana and her parents. Over time, Tatyana's Day began to be celebrated not only in Moscow State University, but throughout Russia.

Therefore, any applicant, no matter where he studies - at an institute or college, knows that the martyr Tatiana helps to acquire knowledge. Parents can also turn to her, asking for help for their son or daughter. Many universities today have prayer rooms or even chapels. Anyone can come in before class, light a candle, and collect their thoughts.

Prayer, as proven by scientists, calms the mind, the brain begins to work at a special frequency. This helps you calm down and focus on the main thing. In such a state, any matter will be argued.

Holy Righteous John of Kronstadt - how to pray for good studies

He was born in the 19th century, into a poor family. His ancestors were priests, and little Vanya dreamed of this. But in order to become a clergyman, it was necessary to study - master many subjects, read a lot of books. The parents were not rich, but they sent their son to a seminary in Arkhangelsk.

But things were not going well; young Ivan had difficulty mastering literacy. He was very worried about this. After all, the family gave almost all available funds for the child’s education. The boy did not sleep at night and prayed, asking God to help him. And so, things gradually improved. The future shepherd began to study so well that he was sent to continue his education at public expense. The saint graduated from the St. Petersburg Theological Academy with the title of Candidate of Sciences.

• One woman shared a story about how the help of a heavenly patron helped her son enter medical school. On the eve of the exams, Tatyana went to the monastery of St. John, where the relics of the popularly beloved priest rest. She venerated his tomb and prayed before the image. Her son was not only enrolled, but was also able to get into budget place, because he showed excellent knowledge.

During his lifetime, Saint John of Kronstadt was known for his simplicity. He refused to help anyone, people followed him in droves. Every day the poor received alms from the righteous man, which helped them live until the evening. And after his death, the priest remained responsive to any requests - if they came from a pure heart. Knowing that the righteous man had difficulties in learning as a child, anyone can safely ask him for help in mastering the sciences.

For good study, read the prayer:

“O great servant of Christ, holy righteous Father John of Kronstadt, wondrous shepherd, quick helper and merciful representative! Raising praise to the Triune God, you prayerfully cried out: “Your name is Love: do not reject me, who am erring.

Your name is Strength: strengthen me, who is weak and falling. Your name is Light: enlighten my soul, darkened by worldly passions. Your name is Peace: pacify my restless soul. Your name is Mercy: do not cease to have mercy on me.”

Now the all-Russian flock, grateful to Your intercession, prays to You: Christ-named and righteous servant of God! With your love, illumine us, sinners and weaklings, grant us the ability to bear worthy fruits of repentance and to partake of the Holy Mysteries of Christ without condemnation.

With your power, strengthen our faith in us, support us in prayer, heal ailments and illnesses, deliver us from misfortunes, visible and invisible enemies. With the light of your face, incite the servants and heads of the altar of Christ to perform holy deeds of pastoral work, grant education to infants, instruct youth, support old age, illuminate the shrines of churches and holy abodes.

Die, O most wonderful miracle worker and prophet, the peoples of our country, by the grace and gift of the Holy Spirit, deliver them from internecine strife; Collect the squandered, convert the deceived, and unite the Holy Ones of Your Catholic and Apostolic Church.

By your grace, preserve marriage in peace and unanimity, grant prosperity and blessings to monastics in good deeds, give comfort to the faint-hearted, freedom for the suffering unclean spirits, have mercy in the needs and circumstances of those who exist, and guide us all on the path of salvation.

In Christ living, our Father John, lead us to the unevening light of eternal life, so that with you we may be worthy of eternal bliss, praising and exalting God forever and ever. Amen".

Prayer to Saint Matrona for help in passing the exam

The Great Eldress is especially revered by the residents of the capital. This is due to the fact that the relics of the righteous woman rest in one of the Moscow monasteries. Many sought help and consolation from Matronushka, and received what they asked for. There are cases when she gave her blessing for good studies.

• When Oksana arrived, she wanted to enter Moscow State University. The competition there was huge, the girl did not count on her own strength. On the eve of the exam, she went to the relics of St. Matrons, I stood in line for several hours. The moment she approached the tomb, her soul became very light. The exams were passed successfully!

The old woman herself never studied, because she was blind from birth, and besides, she was born into a poor family. She knew only one teacher - the Lord, one textbook - the Holy Scriptures. But God gave her the opportunity to help everyone who shows faith and perseverance.

Before the exam they read the following prayer:

O blessed mother Matrono, hear and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, who in all your life has learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn, with faith and hope who resort to your intercession and help, giving quick help and miraculous healing to everyone; May your mercy not fail now for us, unworthy, restless in this busy world and nowhere finding consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses: heal our illnesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the devil, who passionately fights, help us convey our everyday Cross, to bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, to preserve the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have strong trust and hope in God and unfeigned love for others; help us, after departing from this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for good studies to Sergius of Radonezh

The collector of lands, the peacemaker, the spiritual teacher of our country is Sergius of Radonezh. Some people may not know this, but he is not only a healer and spiritual mentor. St. Sergius will always answer a student’s prayers, because he is the patron saint of all students.

At a young age, the future monk had absolutely no ability to study. He couldn't even read. His classmates laughed at Bartholomew (he received the name Sergius already as a monk). How did the boy manage to overcome difficulties? With God's help. One day a schema-monk in black robes appeared to him and gave his blessing. It is believed that the Angel of God himself descended from heaven under the guise of a monk.

That same evening, Bartholomew loudly and emphatically read the required passage from the Holy Scriptures. Those around him immediately realized that a miracle had happened, and from then on they stopped laughing at the boy. Studying was easy for the boy, but he decided to go to a monastery, preferring live communication with God to academic science. However, Venerable Sergius gladly helps those who themselves make efforts in the process of gaining knowledge.

There is more and more information that needs to be not only mastered, but also analyzed. The pace of transformation of society has increased so much that our students are increasingly stalling. It is difficult and difficult for them. That’s why many people need prayer for their studies. Schoolchildren and students themselves, as well as their parents, cry out to the Lord. Let's figure out how to ask higher power about support. Who is suitable for a study spell, and who will feel better during prayer.

Why do you need help?

Important point. Prayer for studying will not help lazy people and stupid people. It is necessary not only to trust in the saints, but also to think about your behavior. This is not a piece of moralizing, but a real approach to the topic. How, I wonder, will knowledge be absorbed if a person does not want to read, or even listen to what the teacher tells him? Don’t think that God has a special machine that forms neural connections in the brain. This is silly. Help from above comes for something completely different. We cannot absorb knowledge often because there is too much of it. The abundance of information causes nervousness, even depression. What kind of knowledge is there in this state?

In addition, children are often lost and cannot answer due to lack of self-confidence. They know and understand the material, but the words don’t come out of their mouths. In such cases, prayer for study will definitely help. To support a person’s spirit, guide it unnoticed and calm it in the strength of the Lord and His angels. That is why they exist, to take care of us, the inhabitants of the earth. With this, they turn to those forces in which a person believes. The latter is very important. Why offer prayers into the void? The space you are accessing must be filled with essence.

Prayer for good studies

Let's talk now about practice. People often ask, who is the right person to contact? Should I ask some saint or the Lord? In fact, the prayer for study is read with love and trust. After all, you are waiting for an answer in the form of the necessary spiritual help. Who causes these feelings? The Lord and his faithful followers. Therefore, it doesn’t matter at all who is mentioned in the texts. All prayers to the Lord go away. But only if they are filled with sincerity and faith. Remember the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector? The meaning is not in the texts, but in the soul. Therefore, it is necessary for the student not to slip a piece of paper with a prayer, but to explain it away. It's the same with parents.

Without understanding what you are muttering, you will not reach the Throne of the Lord. Below are the texts of the prayers. They can be used with some thought in advance. The essence of the words is to ask the saints to guide the student along the path leading to God. So that the researcher of new knowledge can rise in thoughts and spirit to the level of the information received. It should be used not to harm others, but for the benefit of humanity.

Prayer text

For the student:

• “Great Lord! Send down to Your servant (name) the grace of the Holy Spirit. Let him strengthen his strength, so that by listening to the teacher and teacher of knowledge he can grow to Your glory, parental consolation. To become useful to the Fatherland and the Church. Amen!"

Nothing bad will happen if you change the text a little, leaving its meaning intact. Prayer before the exam:

• "Jesus Christ! Bless Your servant (name) before the test. Send your help so that I can overcome all obstacles and achieve the desired success. Good for you, Lord, the Fatherland and me! Amen!"

It's the same here. Don't rely on the text. Especially when other words come from the soul. You yourself talk to the Lord, decide what to ask for.

Who can't prayers help?

Not everyone is raised in the faith these days. There are atheist families. Some people don't think about such things at all. Therefore, prayer for help in studying is not for everyone. It is built on faith. Let us emphasize, not in words, but in feelings. It does not appear out of nowhere. And it’s not worth praying when you don’t accept God in your soul. There are other methods. A few more words about representatives of other faiths. They sometimes turn to Orthodox saints. There is no prohibition here. God is One. Is it necessary to go to the temple? This question is personal. No one will tell you firmly that you should do this and not another. But it is recommended to look into the church sometimes. There is a special atmosphere there that has a positive effect on nervous system, and on the level of trust in the Lord.

Study plot

What should the one whom people call unbelieving Thomas do? There are no problems with this either. Folk wisdom has given rise to many tips and recommendations. If you believe in them, then practice the spell to study. It is recommended to read it in the evening. Needed on clean slate Write on paper what kind of success you are striving for. Do this in detail, taking into account the level of your own potential. That is, it is undesirable for a solid C student to aim for a gold medal. Meaning? You should think over the text by candlelight. Fold the sheet into an envelope. Seal with candle wax. So say:

• “This message written is my sincere wish. Let it come true, everything in your studies works out without obstacles! Amen!"

Place the prepared magic bag under your pillow and go to bed. Repeat the ritual when failure occurs or the level of performance increases. Burn the old bag.

Conclusion

When you turn to those forces in which you believe for help, remember that they will not cram for you. This is a human matter. Higher entities support morally and spiritually. They contribute to a sense of self-confidence, increased speed of thinking and reaction. God for Christians is triune. So, we get the answer in the realm of the Spirit. That is, where a person’s creative abilities are born. And memory and skills should be formed and trained independently! Good luck and success in your studies!

Prayer for studying:

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, bless me for my studies (or exams), send Your holy help, so that I can achieve what I desire: what is pleasing to You, O Lord, and useful for me. Amen.

Amen.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for study

Holy angel of Christ, faithful servant of God, warrior of His heavenly army, I appeal to you in prayer, crossing myself with the holy cross. Send me heavenly grace to my spiritual strength and grant me meaning and understanding, so that I may sensitively listen to the godly teaching that the teacher conveys to us, and my mind will grow extremely for the glory of the Lord, people and the Holy Orthodox Church for good. I ask you this, angel of Christ. Amen.

Prayer before studying

“Great Lord, bestow upon us the grace of Your Holy Spirit, bestowing and strengthening our spiritual strength, so that, by listening to the teaching taught to us, we may grow to You, our Creator, for the glory, for the comfort of our parents, for the benefit of the Church and the Fatherland.”

Prayer after studying
