John of Kronstadt

Living in a poor family, the young man fully knew what life is, full of poverty, tears and despair. Such living conditions made John quite self-contained in man, but at the same time he had a compassionate love for the poor.

Due to lack of material benefits, he did not play in toys and other children's games that were available to his peers. However, he never fell in the spirit and wore God in his heart. John loved nature, it gave him spiritual strength and inner balance.

He was not broken by poverty, and he began to study literacy. After a while, John enters the academy and becomes a priest a little later. For the rest of his life he helped all the people who asked him for help, he did everything that was in his power.

Nicholas the Sinner

From his infancy, Nicholas was a very religious person, he kept fasting since childhood. At the age of up to 10 years he began to study the Divine Scripture, he could spend days in the temple without leaving it, where he prayed all the time.

At a very young age he became a priest, for some time the glory of a young but very wise priest spread throughout the country. A large number of Orthodox came to the church where Nicholas served, and asked for his blessings. He spoke long enough and competent speeches, which more suited not to the young man, but to the wise old man. He read a very large number of books, both religious and scientific, so he differed from a large number of people with his incredible education.

Then throughout his life he helped different people. He gave instructions in difficult moments, and when it was necessary, he also helped them financially. There is a story when one man was ready to give his daughters to a brothel because of terrible money problems. When Nicholas learned about this, he threw money at them, thereby saving the girls from a bitter fate. Also, the saint helped people who were illegally convicted, and did many different good deeds.

Therefore, every Orthodox, reading the prayer from anguish and depression, can do this before the icon of St. Nicholas. It is worth noting that the sacred text is best read in the temple, in silence and tranquility.

Saint Tikhon

A very powerful prayer from despair and depression is read to Saint Tikhon, who relieves those in need of such a spiritual ailment. A distinctive feature of this prayer is its privacy. Read the sacred text at home in front of the icon, while it is desirable to ask for help in complete silence.

How to pray?

After you have chosen which saint to read the prayer for depression, you need to know how to pronounce it correctly so that the requests are heard. Ideally, you need to visit the relics of a saint and ask for help directly at the burial site. But, unfortunately, not every person has such an opportunity.

However, almost everyone can visit the temple, for this it is necessary to pray directly before the icon of the saint and ask that he give the spiritual strength that will help overcome this moral malady. Before reading the prayer from depression, you should light a candle and only then start communicating with the saints.

At home, prayer will also be heard, most importantly - light a candle in front of an icon, put a glass of holy water and read a prayer. To read it is necessary with understand and with pure intentions, and upon completion it is necessary to drink a sip of holy water and cross himself.

Another important factor is sincerity. When a Christian requires help and in the form of an indication of what he wants, then in this case, one can not wait for a miracle. It is extremely important to read the sacred test sincerely, with a pure soul and heart. Also, do not hope that after the first reading, a miracle will happen immediately. The Lord knows us better when and at what time a person really needs help.

What if prayer does not help?

Do not despair, when for a long time the prayer is read from depression, and the moral state does not improve. First of all you need to think about how you read the prayer, whether it really flows from the lips sincerely or in the text there are notes of demand.

Also it is worth remembering what your way of life was like before you began to ask the Saints. Moreover, if a person has never read daily prayers, visited temples, do not expect that the miracle will happen from the first time. We need to thank the Lord every day for everything that he gives, and then a person, even without knowing it, will receive more vital energy.

Conclusion

When a person is in prolonged depression and professional psychologists can not help in this situation, a significant part of the population resorts to the help of prayers. It should be noted that such a remedy is quite effective, because there are a lot of examples of physical and moral healing only from the fact that a Christian became a truly believing person who started wearing God in his heart.

Lead the right way of life, thank the Lord for everything that you have, and periodically, when it is really necessary, ask for help.
