Interpretation of the prayer

The spiritual meaning of prayer to St. Nicholas is to express sincere love for him. And in general, you can pray to the saint in your own words, remembering his good earthly deeds and asking for help and protection.

There are several options for prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, designed for different life needs. The most common text is the “Rule of Faith.”

Reading rules

It is very important not to miss a single day, otherwise you will have to start the prayer rule all over again. The prayer is read in front of an icon depicting a saint.

Before you begin, you need to tune in to a special mood, reject bitterness, envy, selfish thoughts, leave behind gratitude, reverence, and humility.

If you rely on prayer to change fate, and at the same time lead an unrighteous lifestyle, bully loved ones, quarrel with neighbors, take care of your official duties, fornicate, drink and use foul language, fate can change, but only for the worse.

Prayer itself has no power without the soul that a person puts into the holy words. The saint to whom a believer resorts for help is an active intercessor before God. Therefore, when turning to St. Nicholas, one must say: “Oh, St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, pray to God for me!”

You can simply imagine the saint alive and talk to him as if he were a living person.

How prayer helps

The words of the prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker literally help turn life around, turn back time and send a person’s actions and deeds in the right, “right” direction.

After reading a prayer to Nicholas the saint, you feel cheerfulness and a surge of strength. The prayer effect is so strong that it seems that a person is ready to move mountains, because his strength increases tenfold.

The fact is that Christianity is not characterized by fatalism. The words "fate" or "fate" are coined by the devil. This is stated in the teachings of John Chrysostom. Everything can be changed if you have the desire and make some efforts in unceasing prayer and righteous life.

Real examples of miracles

Nicholas the Saint began to perform his first miracles almost from his church membership. During the sacrament of baptism, baby Nikolai stood in a font of holy water on his feet without outside help for about three hours. Thus, he showed respect for the sacrament of baptism, and at this time his mother was healed of a serious illness.

And this was the first of the miracles of Nicholas the Wonderworker. The second miracle was that from infancy he observed fast days and refused mother's milk on Wednesday and Friday.

When he grew up a little, he read spiritual books and spent a lot of time in church; later he began to serve in the temple and actively helped believers.

The miracle worker continued to help people even after his own death. He often appears to the believer in the form of a handsome old man with a gray beard. It happens on fateful occasions, turning points life. He gives advice or simply speaks words of comfort. Just the presence of Nikolai the saint makes my soul feel lighter.

Here are a few stories from our contemporaries.

Mother Elena, wife of Archpriest Father Nikolai, dean of one of the districts of the diocese of cities in the Volga region:

One day one of our parishioners fell ill, became seriously ill, was admitted to the hospital, and her days were already numbered. I was just traveling on business to regional center and decided to check on her at the same time, to support her at least a little.

It was late in the evening, I was pretty tired during the day. I’m sitting in the hospital corridor of the oncology department, waiting for the sick Nina to come out to me. And the atmosphere is so depressing, empty all around.

I see an old man coming towards me, so clean and clear. He's not a doctor, but he doesn't look like a patient either. He sat down on a bench nearby, I think he was also waiting for someone. And he turned to me, patted me on the shoulder and said: “Don’t wait, Nina won’t come.” He got up and went back.

I looked after him and couldn’t understand how he knew that I was waiting for Nina. Ten minutes later the doctor came out and said that Nina had just passed away.

I returned home and stood up to the images. Read the rule. I look, and the old man who came up to me in the hospital is looking at me from the icon. I just froze - it was Nikolai the saint.

The elder of the temple in honor of St. Nicholas Tamara:

I remember once we were doing renovations in the church, as usual. IN Soviet years The temple was not destroyed, but was turned into a salt warehouse. It was probably filled to the top with salt. This salt was absorbed into the walls, no matter what we did, it appears again and again. Whitewash and plaster periodically fall off. So you have to constantly do repairs.

There were about twelve of us in the church - the parishioners were all families, they came with children. The men whitewashed the altar, the women mopped the floors, and the children helped in whatever way they could. We worked for a long time, we were in a hurry, because the next day the priest would serve the Liturgy. Everything needs to dry out.

Naturally, everyone was hungry. Suddenly the kids run towards me: “Look, look what’s there!” And they pull me by the hand towards the exit. I see a basket of fruits standing at the door - apples, oranges, persimmons. I remember well that I locked the doors from the inside so that no outsiders would interfere.

Who left us such a gift? It was St. Nicholas himself who rewarded us for our work. I distributed the treats to everyone, and what’s interesting is that there was exactly as much fruit as there were us working in the temple.

We read the Jesus Prayer, and then, without saying a word, we said a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker at his icon. Afterwards, I wrote a note and listed the names of everyone who worked today, so that the priest would remember them at the prayer service.

Servant of God Nikolai:

I would never have believed it if this miracle had not happened to me. I live next to the church, gradually began to go to services, came, so to speak, to God. I help in the church as much as I can, mostly in the housekeeping department.

I was once chopping wood to light the stoves in the church. He swung himself with a cleaver and wanted to eat. But my home is not prepared, my mistress passed away early, I live alone.

I saw my neighbor Zina walking past, and I asked her to buy me a loaf of bread and milk at the store. I'll have a snack and get to work. I continue to work, and look at the road to see if Zinaida is returning.

A man walks past, dressed somewhat old-fashioned - in a sheepskin coat and felt boots, but it’s just right for the weather. He caught up with me, silently takes milk and a loaf of bread from his bosom, still warm, and holds it out. I thought that Zinka, as usual, was chatting with someone, so she sent her friend to me.

I took the groceries, but was so taken aback that I didn’t even have time to thank them. And the little man went on his way. “Who will you be, Zinaida?” - I asked for some reason. He turned around, looked very kindly and said: “Nikolai.”

I shrugged my shoulders and thought: “He’s kind of weird,” but the warm food immediately improved my mood. I’m sitting on a tree stump having a meal. Here Zinaida appears and hands me a package:
- Here, take what you asked for.
- So everything has already been handed over to me.
- What did they convey? Who?

The package that the neighbor brought contained bread and milk... But who was that old man? Nikolai! I gasped. Since then, in church and at home, a mandatory habit for me is Prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

And I admit honestly, I stopped drinking alcohol, otherwise I used to drink sinfully alone. So I started visiting Zinaida more often. Maybe something will work out.

Nicholas the Wonderworker became, in fact, a Wonderworker during his lifetime. He tamed the elements in order to save the ship on which he himself was sailing from shipwreck. Nicholas the Wonderworker secretly donated dowries to the daughters of a bankrupt merchant so that they could get married. He protected, reconciled those at war, was the patron of the innocently convicted and saved them from needless death. And after his death, his relics began to heal fatal diseases, save them from the most hopeless situations in life, and then he truly became a Wonderworker.

If you need income assistance

It's no secret that you can't live without money now. Although you need to live modestly, even for such a life there is not always enough. If you don't earn enough money, you can't expect prosperity. The house should be full, but to achieve this, funds are needed.

Some find money, others work very hard, others have several sources of income, but even with such efforts, there is not always enough money. Truly needy people can pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help with money.

But the saint will help only those who really need it. If you want to outdo a colleague or show off to your friends, you shouldn’t expect success. And even vice versa - everything can turn against you: funds will appear, but illnesses and many other serious problems will arise.

Many legends have been preserved about how Nicholas the Wonderworker helped those in need and punished those who were cocky. Therefore, first weigh whether you really need it. If the answer is yes, get started!

You need to get up early in the morning, preferably before sunrise. Then, without greeting anyone, go to the temple, where you pray at the icon of the saint. In conclusion, light a candle for (your) health. Return home the other way, without talking to those you meet. If you prayed from a pure heart, then you can soon expect a good result.

If you need a job

For all of us, work is an important part of life. Without it, we do not receive the means to subsist. No matter what the circumstances, you can’t live without work. Many people find it difficult to find any source of income. Desperate, a person gives up and other problems appear.

Before turning to the saint, imagine what you need: what type of work, working conditions. It is better to clearly formulate your desires.

Then you need to go to church: women are better off in women's days(Wednesday, Friday, Saturday), men, respectively, to men's (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday). You can also all go to pray on December 19 (St. Nicholas Day).

In the church they stand near the icon of the saint and pray.
