People rush into religion after violent shocks, losing everything and expecting from God, in whom they suddenly believed, a miracle. The same miracle awaits the families who have reached the divorce, coming to the reception to the therapist. We piously believe that since we came to church, it means that our neglect has already been redeemed, all that is left is to wait for rewards for our prudence.
However, religion and prayers , as well as psychology, are not a magic pill, but a way of knowing oneself.
How does one pray without recourse to a confession?
Such a question is often posed by people who harbor personal dislike and even disgust for division into "right and left", "true and indirect", "righteous and sinful." We recommend you to choose your choice of praying to an angel for a guardian who is truly non-confessional.
The difference between an angel guardian and a saint
If you are baptized, you must have a baptized name - the name of the saint, who now protects you. In that case, you'd better pray and turn to him. If you are not baptized, and you do not really want it, you have every right to appeal to your guardian angel through power prayer. Since the guardian angel with religion have little in common.
We are used to rushing into mathematics after we are roughly cheated in the store. But will it be useful for science when you have foam on your lips because of anger and your hands are shaking?
The same happens with the church. First we start our life in a dead end, then desperately rush into religion. But will we be able to comprehend God and establish our own life, when only resentment and disappointment in aimlessly lived years are in my head.
Practicing the usual evening prayer to the guardian angel, you can call your helper (to which you have every right) to life and establish it, not leading to the extremes of adversity.
For example, pay attention to your feelings after reading the next prayer to the angel guard readable at night:
"To the Angel of God, my holy saint, to keep me from the Lord from heaven given, diligently plead with thee; Thou shalt enlighten me from day to day, and keep from every evil, to the good deed, and to the direction of salvation guide. Amen."
Prayer for children
A separate theme is prayer to the angel for the guardian for his son or daughter. When a person has children, his life changes irrevocably, whether he wants it or not. Children are, of course, flowers of life, but parents are primarily engrossed not in contemplation of their beauty, but with excitement, anxiety, fears that some misfortune will occur with their children, they will get under bad influence or will not follow their own way of life .
Parents can not but pray for their children, even if they are unbelievers. Even your fears about their safety are accompanied by instinctive requests to God to protect and protect.
Here is one example of a short prayer for children:
"Holy Angel, the guardian of my children (names), cover them with your veil from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the seducer and keep their heart in angelic purity. Amen."
Since morning
For many, morning is the most unpleasant time of the day when you have to force yourself out of a warm bed and go somewhere and for some reason. To the morning has become your favorite at times, it does not necessarily have to wake it up.
Make a morning time for your favorite rituals - a delicious breakfast, aromatherapy in the shower and a prayer for the Optina Elders. This prayer can be considered as the morning appeal to the guardian angel, although it is read to God. In any case, this is the most irreligious prayer.
"Lord, give me the peace of mind to meet everything that brings me the coming day.
Let me be completely surrendered to your holy will.
For every hour of this day, teach and support me in everything.
Whatever I hear during the day, teach me to take them with a calm soul and a firm conviction that everything is holy Your will.
In all words and deeds, I lead my thoughts and feelings.
In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything is sent down by You.
Teach me directly and reasonably to act with every member of my family, not embarrassing or upsetting anyone.
Lord, give me the strength to bear the fatigue of the coming day and all the events during the day.
Lead my will and teach me to pray, believe, hope, tolerate, forgive and love.
Amen."
