Prayer for the expulsion of evil spirits. Prayer from the demon

Despite the fact that we live in an age of high technology, science and universal literacy, many people feel the inexplicable impact of negative energies, which in Orthodoxy are usually called demons or evil spirits. In many churches, parishioners become unwitting witnesses of how someone possessed by demons - the so-called “sick person” - is brought in for a “reprimand” (exorcism of demons), and, looking at this, it is impossible not to believe in the demons living in you. Films have been made about demonic possession, and it has been vividly written about in fiction and Orthodox literature.

What is the cause of this phenomenon? Science is trying to interpret this as a manifestation of mental disorders; doctors talk about damage to certain areas of the brain. But in Orthodoxy there is only one answer - demons are an evil force from which not a single person is immune - even saints were overcome by the devil, as described in numerous scriptures. So how can a simple believer protect himself from the effects of demonic attacks?

Universal prayers from demons

There are several prayers that should be read when confusion from evil spirits is felt in the soul.

The most powerful of them is the prayer that Jesus Christ himself gave to people. This is "Our Father".

Prayer "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.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

It would be useful to read the interpretation and explanation of this prayer from the holy fathers (for example, John Chrysostom), which will help you understand why this text is the most saving and powerful tool for an Orthodox person in all cases of life.

Psalm 90

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons. Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look at your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will overcome him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Prayers to saints for protection from demons

In addition to the Lord's Prayer and Psalm 90, there are several other powerful prayers for protection from demons. In these prayers, believers ask the saints for protection. For example, to Seraphim of Sarov, who lived in Tsarist Russia just a few centuries ago. During his lifetime, he became so famous for his pious lifestyle, insight and compassion for all those who suffer that not only Orthodox believers, but also adherents of other faiths turned to him for help. The Monk Seraphim of Sarov was known as a protector from demonic attacks.

Prayer to Seraphim of Sarov

Oh, great saint of God, Rev. Father Seraphim! Hear the prayer from us, the humble and weak, burdened with sins, for help and consolation. Come to us who ask and help us stand on the righteous path and live according to the commandments of God. Give us the strength not to succumb to demonic temptations and accept our repentance for our voluntary and involuntary sins. I, the servant of God (proper name), ask you, Reverend Seraphim, to grant me your intercession from evil spirits. Don't let her harm me and show me the way to salvation. I trust in you and hope to receive the salvation of my soul with your help. Amen

Prayer to Archangel Michael

A strong prayer from demons and all evil spirits - a prayer addressed to Archangel Michael, one of the most revered saints, protector of the human spirit and body, the leader angel of the army of God in the fight against demons.

O Lord Almighty, Great God, Heavenly King, hear the spiritual request of the servant of God (proper name). Send your strong warrior Archangel Michael, the destroyer of demons, to my aid. I will turn to him with a sincere request to prohibit all enemies whose actions are directed against me from approaching me. Crush them, let them not withstand your strength, just as sheep cannot withstand a strong wind. Oh, great Michael the Archangel, six-winged Angel, first prince and commander of all heavenly powers, Cherubim and Seraphim! Become a real helper to me: support me in everything, help me cope with grievances, sorrows and sorrows. Do not leave me in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and seas, become my quiet haven! Deliver me, Holy Archangel Michael, from the influence of the devil. I beg you to hear me and not refuse me my request. Amen.

Prayer to the Great Martyr Cyprian from evil spirits

One of the most powerful prayers against damage, the evil eye, witchcraft and evil spirits is considered to be the prayer to the Great Martyr Cyprian. This saint is more familiar than anyone with witchcraft and the devilish spirit - before converting to the Christian faith, he was a sorcerer and warlock for thirty years. Many people turned to him to perform conspiracies, love spells and spells. Cyprian lived happily, receiving large fees from generous gentlemen. But one day he was faced with the fact that his powers did not work - one rich gentleman turned to Cyprian with a request to bewitch the righteous and pious nun Justinna. The sorcerer got down to business, but to no avail. Shocked, he began to study what Justinna’s power was, as a result of which he became imbued with faith and became a Christian, abandoning black magic forever. Interestingly, he later suffered martyrdom for his faith in Christ.

Holy Hieromartyr Cyprian, during the days and nights, at that hour when all the power opposed to the glory of the One Living God is exercised, you, Saint Cyprian, pray for us sinners, saying to the Lord: “Lord God, mighty, holy, reigning forever, hear Now the prayer of your servant (your name) who has lost in the faith and for Your sake, Lord, may the entire heavenly army forgive her (him): thousands of Angels and Archangels, Seraphim and Cherubim, Guardian Angels.

I fall down and ask the bright name of the holy martyr Cyprian for the lost children living in my house and for all Christians suffering from sorcery, witchcraft, the machinations of crafty demons and evil and flattering people.

May Your holy prayer be the protection and salvation of God’s servants in their home.

Place your Sovereign, Light, and Grace-filled hand on my home and my children. The Lord's blessing to this house, in which Your bright prayer is being said.

By Thy command that scorches all evil, help me, O Lord, the mother (father) who grieves for my children. Humble their pride, call them to repentance and save the lost, just as You called me, a great sinner. Give them reason, Lord, and call them to repentance by the power of the Honest Life-Giving Cross.

By the command of the Lord, may the evil deeds and demonic dreams of mine and my children be stopped, and may they not resist the prayer of Your Holy Hieromartyr Cyprian. At the hour of Your holy morning prayer, may the opposing forces of evil, unleashed by evil people and crafty demons, disappear.

In His name I conjure and drive away all evil spirits and the eyes of evil people, far and near. Drive away, Lord, the evil man from my dwelling. Save and preserve your servant (him), my husband (s) and my children from all evil slander of the evil and unclean spirit.

I, a sinner (name), trusting in God’s mercy, drive away and overcome all malice and deceit of the devil. Let the man with evil intentions and the unclean evil spirit with deception be removed from me and from my children. Through the prayer of the Hieromartyr Cyprian I drive away, overcome, and destroy from myself and my children all the forces of evil. Disappear, forces of evil, from these servants of God by the power of the Honest Life-Giving Cross of the Lord and all the heavenly Powers, creating before the Throne of God the Power of the Lord, suppressing the power of evil.

Prayer for protection from evil spirits in the house

Evil spirits can live not only in a person, but also in his home. How many cases are known of places “infected” with inexplicable frightening energies. Whatever they are called - poltergeists, ghosts, etc. But their essence is the same - demonism. The home of each of us, just like the body and soul, is vulnerable to evil spirits, and it is very important to protect it in a timely manner. Visits from unkind people and various energy and witchcraft influences can ruin the atmosphere in your home and make living in your own home unbearable. Below is a prayer written by Saint Pansophius of Athos. If you feel heavy energy in your home, you can help. You need to read this prayer nine times in a row for nine days, morning and evening, in a humble, harmonious and focused state.

Prayer of Pansophius of Athos

Merciful Lord, You once through the mouth of the servant of Moses, Joshua, delayed the movement of the Sun and Moon all day long, until the people of Israel took revenge on their enemies.

With the prayer of Elisha the prophet, he once struck the Syrians, delaying them, and healed them again. You once told the prophet Isaiah: Behold, I will return back ten steps the shadow of the sun that passed along the steps of Ahaz, and the sun returned ten steps along the steps on which it descended.

You once, through the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, closed the abysses, stopped the rivers, and held back the waters.

And You once stopped the mouths of the lions in the den through the fasting and prayer of Your prophet Daniel.

And now delay and slow down until the right time all the plans around those standing by me about my displacement, dismissal, removal, expulsion. So now, destroy the evil desires and demands of all those who condemn me. , block the lips and hearts of all those who slander, are angry and growl at me, and all who blaspheme and humiliate me.

So now, bring spiritual blindness into the eyes of all those who rise up against me and against my enemies. Didn't you tell the Apostle Paul: Speak and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will harm you.

Soften the hearts of all those who oppose the good and dignity of the Church of Christ. Therefore, let not My mouth be silent to reprove the wicked and glorify the righteous and all Your wondrous works. And may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled.

To you, righteous women and prayer books of God, our daring intercessors, who once with the power of their prayers restrained the invasion of foreigners, the approach of haters, who destroyed the evil plans of people, who stopped the mouths of lions, now I turn with my prayer, with my petition.

And You, the venerable great Elius of Egypt, who once fenced the place of your disciple’s settlement in a circle with the sign of the cross, commanded him to arm himself with the name of the Lord and from now on not to be afraid of demonic temptations. Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves’ attacks and all evil and insurance.

And you, Reverend Father Poplie of Syria, who once with your unceasing prayer for ten days kept the demon motionless and unable to walk either day or night; Now, around my cell and this house (my) keep behind its fence all the opposing forces and all those who blaspheme the name of God and despise me.

And You, reverend virgin Piama, who once with the power of prayer stopped the movement of those who were going to destroy the inhabitants of the village where she lived, now stop all the plans of my enemies who want to expel me from this city and destroy me: do not allow them to approach this house, stop them with the power of prayer his: “Lord, Judge of the Universe, You, who are displeased with all unrighteousness, when this prayer comes to You, may the Holy Power stop them at the place where it overtakes them.

And You, blessed Lawrence of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as having the boldness to intercede before the Lord for those suffering from the wiles of the devil. Pray to God for me, may He protect me from the wiles of Satan.

And You, Reverend Vasily of Pechersk, perform your prayers of prohibition over those who attack me and drive away all the machinations of the devil from me.

And you, all the saints of the Russian land, with the power of your prayers for me, dispel all the demonic spells, all the devil’s plans and intrigues - to annoy me and destroy me and my property.

And You, great and formidable guardian, Archangel Michael, cut off with a fiery sword all the desires of the enemy of the human race and all his minions who want to destroy me. Stand inviolably on guard over this house, all those living in it and all its property.

And You, Lady, not in vain called the “Unbreakable Wall”, be for all those who are hostile against me and plotting dirty tricks on me, truly a kind of barrier and an indestructible wall, protecting me from all evil and difficult circumstances

When reading prayers for protection from evil spirits, we must remember that the devil - or rather its manifestations in the form of temptations - is located within us. Mortal sins - envy, despondency, anger, greed, pride - are familiar to each of us, and it is they that weaken a person and make him vulnerable to evil forces. Demons and evil energies will not penetrate into a pure soul, for example, as happened with the nun Justina, who was not overcome by Cyprian’s witchcraft spells. Each of us can protect ourselves with a pious lifestyle, cleansing the soul with prayers and living according to the laws of God.

“Much merciful, incorruptible, undefiled, sinless Lord, cleanse me, Thy unworthy servant, from all filthiness of the flesh and soul, and from my inattention and despondency the uncleanness that has come to me, along with all my other iniquities, and show me undefiled, Master, for the goodness of Christ Yours, and sanctify me by the invasion of Your Most Holy Spirit: for having aroused from the darkness of the unclean ghosts of the devil and all kinds of filth, I may be deemed worthy with a clear conscience to open my unclean and unclean lips, and sing Thy all-holy name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever , and forever and ever. Amen."

Prayer to Basil the Great for success in business

“Oh, great saint Basil the Great! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord, and like a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason, you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank comes from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor of hard work to the husband, a teacher of kindness to the old, a teacher of kindness to the monk, a rule of abstinence to those who pray, an inspired leader from God to those who have wisdom, an illuminator of the mind to those who have good words, the words of a living source are inexhaustible, to those who do good. - a star of mercy, to those in command - an image of righteous rule, a zealot of truth - an inspirer of boldness, an instructor of truth for the persecuted - patience: you were all, and you saved everyone. Over all of these you have acquired love, which is the basis of perfection, and with that, as if by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in your soul into one, and the reconciling love shared here, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles, you preached to all the faithful. We are sinners, each one of us has his own gift, we are not imams of the unity of spirit into a union of peace, but we are vain, irritating each other, envious of each other: for this reason, our division, divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation, has turned over to us. Moreover, we fall to you, the saint of God, overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers drive away from our hearts all pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, and according to your prayerful words we will love each other and with one mind and confession of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

Prayer of Basil the Great to exorcise demons

I conjure you and all the fallen power consistent with your will: I conjure you, unclean soul, by the God of hosts, and by all the host of the angels of God, Adonai Eloi and God Almighty, go out and separate from the servant of God ( Name ), I conjure you by God the Word who created everything, and by our Lord Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, who was born before the ages ineffably and impassively from Him, who made visible and invisible creation, who created man in His image, who was the first natural law of this schoolchild, and by angelic command who have preserved: who have drowned sin from above with water, and who have destroyed the abysses of heaven, and who have corrupted the unhonored giants, and who have shaken the pillar of the abominable, and who have incinerated the land of Sodom and Gomorrah with a terrible fire, whose witness the unquenchable smoke smokes; with a rod we divided the sea, and led through the people with wet feet, and the tormentor of Pharaoh, and the army fighting against God, who forever drowned the battle with the waves of wickedness; in the last days of the Pure Virgin, who incarnated inexpressibly, and preserved the intact seals of purity, to wash away with baptism our ancient filth, by which we were defiled by crime. I conjure you to those who were baptized in the Jordan, and to us the image of incorruption in the water by grace who gave; His angels and all the powers of heaven were amazed, the incarnation of God, the Humbled One, is seen, when the Beginningless Father, the beginningless Nativity of the Son is revealed, and the descent of the Holy Spirit, the Trinity Unity is testified. I conjure you by Him who forbade the wind, and tamed the storm of the sea, drove away the demonic army, and made the eyes of the eye from the womb deprived of blind sight by clay, and Renewed the ancient creation of our race, and corrected the dumb hedgehogs: Cleansed the scabs of leprosy, and raised the dead from the graves, even before the burial of man, the One who spoke, and the uprising of hell, who captivated, and all of humanity was enveloped in death by the One who arranged. I conjure you by God Almighty, Who inspired man with the inspired voice, and Who contributed to the apostle, and who filled the whole universe with piety: fear, flee, flee, be separated from the unclean and nasty demon, the underworld, the deep, flattering, ugly, visible for the sake of lack of attention, invisible for the sake of hypocrisy, even if you, or depart, or Beelzebub himself, or shake, or serpentine, or animal-like, or like a pair, or like a bird, or a nocturnal, or deaf, or dumb, or frightening from an invasion, or tear to pieces, or slander, or in a dream heavy, or ill-natured, or in an ulcer, or in a mixture of slobbering, or creating lustful tears, or fornicating, or evil-smelling, or lustful, or sensual, or poison-loving, or lustful, or star-sorcerer, or a house-wizard, or cold-free, or covetous, or fickle, or changing with the month, or changing with a certain time, or morning, or midday, or midnight, or some yearlessness, or brilliance, or you met by chance, or from whom you were sent, or you found it suddenly, or in the sea, or in a river, or from the earth, or from a well, or from a rapid, or from a ditch, or from a lake, or from a reed, or from a substance, or from the top of the earth, or from filth, or from a meadow, or from a forest, or from the tree, or from the birds, or from the thunder, or from the cover of the bathhouse, or from the font of water, or from the idol’s tomb, or from the unknown, or from the unknown, or from the known, or from the unknown, or from an unvisited place, depart and change , be ashamed of the image created and imagined by the hand of God: fear the likeness of God incarnate, and do not hide yourself in the servant of God ( Name), but a rod of iron, and a furnace of fire, and tartar, and gnashing of teeth, the vengeance of disobedience awaits you. Fear, be silent, flee, do not return, nor hide yourself with any of the wickedness of unclean spirits: but go away into a waterless, empty, unmade land, where no man dwells: God alone looks upon and binds all those who wound and speak evil of His image, and with chains of darkness, betraying Tartarus, in the long night and day, to you all the evil tempters and inventors of the devil. For great is the youth of God, and great is the glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen."

According to biblical teaching, before the birth of Christianity, at the behest of the Lord, Archangel Michael helped the Jewish people resist paganism. At the moment when Moses saved the Jews, leading them out of Egypt, it was Michael who showed them the way and accompanied them. There are many church legends about the miracles that Archangel Michael performed. That is why prayer to him and his icon are strong protection against any negativity.

“O Lord Almighty, Great God, Heavenly King, hear the spiritual request of the servant of God (proper name). Send your strong warrior Archangel Michael, the destroyer of demons, to my aid. I will turn to him with a sincere request to prohibit all enemies whose actions are directed against me from approaching me. Crush them, let them not withstand your strength, just as sheep cannot withstand a strong wind. Oh, great Michael the Archangel, six-winged Angel, first prince and commander of all heavenly powers, Cherubim and Seraphim! Become a real helper to me: support me in everything, help me cope with grievances, sorrows and sorrows. Do not leave me in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and seas, become my quiet haven! Deliver me, Holy Archangel Michael, from the influence of the devil. I beg you to hear me and not refuse me my request. Amen".

Prayer for protection from evil spirits to Seraphim of Sarov

The Monk Seraphim of Sarov was born into a pious merchant family of the city. His homeland is Kursk. In his youth, he had a desire to lead a pious life and take monasticism for this purpose. A seventeen-year-old young man left his father’s house and labored in the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra, and a little later he left for the Sarov Hermitage in the Tambov province. The Monk Seraphim became famous for his insight; he also had a natural gift for healing mental and physical ailments. It is noteworthy that not only Orthodox Christians, but also people of other faiths turned to him for help.

The Monk Seraphim of Sarov was known among the people as a great comforter to the suffering and an adviser in solving various life problems. You can also contact him with a request for protection from evil spirits.

The prayer goes like this:

“Oh, great saint of God, Rev. Father Seraphim! Hear the prayer from us, the humble and weak, burdened with sins, for help and consolation. Come to us who ask and help us stand on the righteous path and live according to the commandments of God. Give us the strength not to succumb to demonic temptations and accept our repentance for our voluntary and involuntary sins. I, the servant of God (proper name), ask you, Reverend Seraphim, to grant me your intercession from evil spirits. Don't let her harm me and show me the way to salvation. I trust in you and hope to receive the salvation of my soul with your help. Amen".

It is necessary to protect not only yourself, but also your home with the help of prayer. This need is due to the fact that otherworldly forces can cause great harm. They can cause strong internal fears and even become attached to a person. A very strong prayer against evil spirits in the house was written by Saint Pansophius of Athos. A person who reads this prayer not only becomes invulnerable himself, but also protects his own home.

Prayer protects against any machinations of demons. It should also be remembered that the brownie is also a creature of the other world. If you don’t find a common language with him, then he begins to cause harm and sometimes makes life unbearable.

Prayer against evil spirits in the house can help in the most difficult situations. But at the same time you need to properly prepare for it and read it correctly. You should observe strict fasting for a week and avoid any entertainment activities. You need to read the prayer twice for nine days: in the morning and in the evening. It is very important to be in a peaceful and calm state.

Anyone who gets in the way of evil spirits at the time of their rampant will not fare well, unless this person reads a prayer that casts out evil spirits.

What can dark forces do other than scare? Much. Devilish incarnations can penetrate homes, feed on human energy, inhabit the body of weak-spirited people, attract failure, drive them crazy, and even kill!

Protection by prayer from evil spirits: reading rules

Orthodox Christians who believe in the power of prayer know that the text of the prayer from the “power of the devil” should always be carried with you. Many people memorize it, but, unfortunately, most people, when they personally encounter black forces, lose the power of speech and the ability to think - all attempts to remember what they have learned instantly fail.

But if you carry the sacred text with you constantly, you can protect yourself from evil spirits. As a last resort, you can read it from a piece of paper in order to give yourself confidence in a difficult situation.

Rule 1: We carry the text of the prayer against evil spirits with us.

The prayer texts were written by our distant ancestors, therefore the speech style and words of the text are presented in the Old Slavonic church manner. It is prohibited to reinterpret the prayer (adapt it to modern language), since the connection and power of the words prayed over generations may be lost.

Rule 2. We read the text in the original form in which it is presented. For “lazy people,” information sources offer listening to prayers recorded on disk or online. But the effect of such an action will be minimized, since the prayer is spoken for the person - there is no significant emotional component of the holy text.

Rule 3. The prayer must be read, not listened to! When exorcizing demons by prayer from your monastery or the body of a “possessed” person, you should have protective symbols of faith: a cross, icons, a crucifix, holy water. With weak protection, demonic spawn can shamelessly attach themselves to a person performing a prayer, and then he will no longer be able to help either others or himself.

Rule 4. The presence of protective Orthodox symbols. A prayer to expel raging demons can take away a lot of vital energy from the person doing it. Therefore, rituals of cleansing the house from filth or expelling the entities that have settled in should be carried out no more than once a week. It is advisable that this be done by an experienced clergyman who specializes in the fight against demonism.

Rule 5. Take care of your vital energy. Bring in specialists. For example, it is much more difficult to get into the house of evil spirits consecrated by the priest.

Prayers used in rituals for liberation from demons

Evil spirits are capable of attacking, plotting, possessing people and making them possessed. To protect themselves, the Orthodox people have come up with a huge number of prayers against demons. The most famous: prayer to Seraphim, at the place of Sarov’s hermitage (from the Sarovka River), prayer from the attacks of demons by the elder Pansophius of Athos, daily prayer to Jesus to prevent the machinations of the devil.

Prayer to Seraphim of Sarov

“O great servant of God, reverend and God-bearing Father Seraphim! Look down from the heavenly glory on us humble and weak, burdened with many sins, your help and consolation to those who ask. Come to us with your mercy and help us to keep the commandments of the Lord immaculately, faith We firmly support the Orthodox Church, diligently offer repentance for our sins to God, gracefully prosper in piety as Christians and are worthy of your intercession in prayer for us to God. To her, Holiness of God, hear us praying to you with faith and love and do not despise us who demand your intercession: now and at the hour of our death, help us, and protect us with your prayers from the evil slander of the devil, so that those powers do not possess us, but yes With your help, let us be worthy to inherit the bliss of the abode of paradise. We now place our hope in you, merciful Father: be truly a guide to salvation for us and lead us to the unevening Light of eternal life by your God-pleasing intercession at the Throne of the Most Holy Trinity, may we glorify and sing with all the saints the venerable name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever centuries. Amen."

Prayer to the Lord God

“Merciful Lord, You once through the mouth of the servant of Moses, Joshua, delayed the movement of the Sun and Moon all day long, until the people of Israel took revenge on their enemies. With the prayer of Elisha the prophet, he once struck the Syrians, delaying them, and healed them again. You once told the prophet Isaiah: behold, I will return back ten steps the sun's shadow, which passed along the steps of Ahazov, and the sun returned ten steps along the steps along which it had descended. You once, through the mouth of the prophet Ezekiel, closed the abysses, stopped the rivers, and held back the waters. And You once stopped the mouths of the lions in the den through the fasting and prayer of Your prophet Daniel. And now delay and slow down until the right time all the plans around those standing by me about my displacement, dismissal, removal, expulsion. So now, destroy the evil desires and demands of all those who condemn me, block the lips and hearts of all those who slander, are angry and growl at me, and all who blaspheme and humiliate me. So now, bring spiritual blindness into the eyes of all those who rise up against me and my enemies .Didn’t you tell the Apostle Paul: Speak and do not be silent, for I am with you, and no one will harm you. Soften the hearts of all those who oppose the good and dignity of the Church of Christ. Therefore, let not My mouth be silent to reprove the wicked and glorify the righteous and all Your wondrous works. And may all our good undertakings and desires be fulfilled. To you, righteous women and prayer books of God, our daring intercessors, who once with the power of their prayers restrained the invasion of foreigners, the approach of haters, who destroyed the evil plans of people, who stopped the mouths of lions, now I turn with my prayer, with my petition. And You, the venerable great Elius of Egypt , who had once fenced off the place of his disciple’s settlement in a circle with the sign of the cross, commanded him to arm himself with the name of the Lord and from now on not be afraid of demonic temptations. Protect my house, in which I live, in the circle of your prayers and save it from fiery ignition, thieves’ attacks and all evil and insurance. And you, Reverend Father Poplie of Syria, once with your unceasing prayer for ten days you kept the demon motionless and unable to walk day or night; now around my cell and this house (my) keep behind its fence all the opposing forces and all those who blaspheme the name of God and those who despise me. And You, reverend virgin Piama, who once with the power of prayer stopped the movement of those who were going to destroy the inhabitants of the village where she lived, now stop everything the plans of my enemies, who want to drive me out of this city and destroy me: do not allow them to approach this house, stop them with the power of your prayer: “Lord, Judge of the Universe, You, who are displeased with all unrighteousness, when this prayer comes to You, let the Holy The power will stop them where it overtakes them." And You, blessed Lawrence of Kaluga, pray to God for me, as having the boldness to intercede before the Lord for those suffering from the wiles of the devil. Pray to God for me, may He protect me from the wiles of Satan. And You, Rev. Vasily of Pechersk, perform your prayers of prohibition over those who attack me and drive away all the wiles of the devil from me. And you, all the saints of the Russian land, with the power of your prayers for me, dispel all the demonic spells, all the devil’s plans and intrigues - to annoy me and destroy me and my property. And you, great and formidable guardian, Archangel Michael, cut off with a fiery sword all the desires of the enemy the human race and all its minions who want to destroy me. Stand indestructibly on guard over this house, all those living in it and all its property. And You, Lady, not in vain called the “Unbreakable Wall”, be for all those who are hostile against me and plotting dirty tricks on me, truly a kind of barrier and an indestructible wall protecting me from all evil and difficult circumstances."

To free oneself from demons or from the evil eye, the prayer of Mary of Egypt is read to the child on the icons of the Mother of God: Svensko-Pecherskaya, “Deliverer”, Konevskaya, etc. The prayer is read slowly, slowly, clearly pronouncing each syllable, so that the words, like stones, repel the attacks of an angry person demon

Prayer of Mary of Egypt

“O great servant of Christ, Venerable Mother Mary! Hear the unworthy prayer of us sinners (names), deliver us, reverend mother, from the passions that war on our souls, from all sadness and adversity, from sudden death and from all evil, at the hour of separation of the soul from the body, cast away, holy saint, every evil thought and crafty demons, for may our souls be received in peace into a place of light by Christ the Lord our God, for from Him is the cleansing of sins, and He is the salvation of our souls, to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.”

With the blessing of the confessor assigned to the person, a prayer is read to the martyr Cyprian. There are legends that Cyprian was at first a powerful black magician, but then, having converted to Christianity, he did not hesitate to burn all his occult literature.

Prayer to the Hieromartyr Cyprian

“Oh, holy servant of God, Hieromartyr Cyprian, quick helper and prayer book for all those who come running to you. Accept our unworthy praise from us, and ask the Lord God for strength in our infirmities, healing in illnesses, consolation in sorrows, and everything useful to everyone in our life. Lift up to May your prayer be so powerful to the Lord, may he protect us from our sinful falls, may he teach us true repentance, may he deliver us from the captivity of the devil and all the actions of unclean spirits, and deliver us from those who offend us. Be our strong champion against all enemies, visible and invisible. In temptations, give us patience and at the hour of our death, show us intercession from the torturers at our aerial ordeals. May we, led by you, reach the Mountainous Jerusalem and be worthy in the Heavenly Kingdom with all the saints to glorify and sing the Most Holy Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen."

Many years later, Cyprian accepted the rank of bishop, after which he was executed as a henchman of the Christian faith, which was objectionable to the ruling emperors. Prayers to the Holy Martyr are read daily to provide impenetrable protection from the machinations of dark forces.

After cleansing the home, comfort and joy reign in the family, all squabbles and quarrels provoked by evil spirits disappear like an old bad dream.
