In accordance with the canons of Orthodoxy, we are all human beings - sinners, already at birth we have the firstborn. As we live our lives, we slowly accumulate more and more unseemly deeds. But God loves people so much that he forgives everything. To earn forgiveness, repentance and awareness of one’s actions are important; for this you need to pray and visit temple. But even at home, it is important to know the prayers for the forgiveness of sins and read them before the images.

Prayer of repentance and humility:

“In the hand of Your great mercy, O my God, I entrust my soul and body, my feelings and words, my deeds and all my movements of body and soul. My entry and exit, my faith and life, the course and end of my life, the day and hour of my breathing, my repose, the repose of my soul and body. But You, O Most Merciful God, are invincible to the sins of the whole world, Unevil Lord, more than all sinners of me. Receive Thy protection in the hand and deliver from all evil, cleanse the multitude of my iniquities. Grant correction to my evil and cursed life and always delight me from future falls into sin, so that when I anger Your love for mankind, cover my weakness from demons, passions and evil people. Forbid the enemy, visible and invisible, guiding me along the saved path, bring me to You, my refuge and my desire. Grant me a Christian death, unashamed, peaceful, keep me from the airy spirits of malice, at Your Last Judgment be merciful to Your servant and number me at the right hand of Your blessed sheep, and with them I will glorify You, my Creator forever. Amen".

Prayer for forgiveness of sins

“Lord, my God, Father and Patron! I pray to You, hear Your unworthy servant, who has given his heart, thoughts and soul into Your hands, weak and helpless. Don’t leave me, Lord, don’t let me melt in sin and perish in fiery hell, don’t hand me over to the devil to be mocked and don’t let my immortal soul perish. Lord, Your servant is weak, I am weak and like lost cattle I stand in the midst of sin and vice that surrounds me. Reach out Your hand and help me overcome the bitterness of the vice that has bound me. Forgive me my past and future sins, lessen my pain and show me the path to salvation. Amen".

The prayer is read morning and evening for 7 days.

Another short prayer for forgiveness

“Lord, You see my weakness, give me correction and make me worthy to love you with all my soul and thoughts. And grant me Your grace, grant me the zeal to perform services, offer my unworthy prayer and thank You for everything.”

And it is always important to remember that in forgiveness and in the request for forgiveness there is hidden the great power of recognizing the merits of Jesus Christ. He did not spare his life, giving it for all people on earth. So great was his love for us.

What is repentance? The great church fathers wrote a lot about how important it is for every person to confess their sins and how the Christian prayer of repentance lightens the soul.

Repentance is the most important thing for every Christian

Anthony of Sourozh, the Monk Abba Dorotheos, Isaac the Syrian and other holy ascetics in their sermons did not tire of calling believers to humility and repentance before the face of our Lord Jesus Christ. You can say: “I didn’t kill anyone, I didn’t steal - I have nothing to repent of. Others have sinned much more than I have, but do not repent.”

The Lord left us the commandment “Love one another.” How can Christian love be manifested? Many churchgoers claim that love is doing good to each other. But what is good? Is what we do, meaning as good, always good in the Christian and universal sense? Alas, sometimes what we arrogantly call good turns out to be the beginning of great trouble or a reason for villainy. This can be clearly seen in the example of raising children.

The deceitfulness of the worldly understanding of good deeds and the distorted idea of ​​love

It happens that parents, loving their child, protect him from difficulties without teaching him to work. It is quite obvious that in this way they prepare a breeding ground for the development of vices and create the preconditions for a sad future for their child. Can such an attitude towards a child be called love? A loving parent will find the time and opportunity to teach their child to read books. If you read aloud one by one, one paragraph at a time, the child will be happy to join in this activity. Just don’t rush him or interrupt him. You can also delicately introduce your baby into the world of cooking, needlework, crafts, etc.

There is another extreme. These are the cases when parents scold even very young children for the slightest mistakes. As a rule, behind a harsh and demanding attitude towards a child hides irritation and annoyance at the fact that there is no opportunity to live only for oneself. In the worst case, a harsh attitude towards a child is a projection of one’s attitude towards all people. In this situation, love has also long been transformed into other feelings. Using the same reading as an example, it is easy to see whether the parent loves the child or not.

Loss of love is a misfortune for which the person himself is to blame.

Losing the ability to love is a great sin requiring repentance

How does the prayer of repentance relate to the examples described above? The most direct. We all want to have good relationships with our children, we want them to love us, so that we can trust them, and they trust us, we want warm relationships and mutual understanding between us from the very birth of our children until our death , trust, respect, care and friendship. All these definitions can be combined and called one common word - love. Yes, yes, we all want love, for this is established by the commandment given by God. The Lord has endowed us with will. He placed man above all creatures on earth, for he allowed him to make decisions and choices.

Unable to manage the diversity of possibilities, we, believing that love was given to us a priori two thousand years ago, trample on it. When making a choice, we rush between friends, spouse, children, parents. When we do not meet the expected reaction, we become offended, disappointed, angry and despondent. We forget that friends, parents, children and spouses are in the same position as ourselves. They are not gods, but restless souls just like you and me. Our prayer of repentance is the cry of a soul that has lost contact with God. By focusing on the worldly, we have emptied our souls. “If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, then I am a ringing gossamer or a clanging cymbal.” Many people know these words. They are taken from Paul's first apostolic letter to the Corinthians. We know something, but we don’t feel it.

“Love is patient and kind, love does not envy, love does not boast, it is not proud. He does not act outrageously, does not seek his own, is not irritated, does not think evil.
He does not rejoice in untruth, but rejoices in the truth. He covers everything, believes everything, hopes everything, endures everything.”

This is how the Lord loves us. Do we love anyone even a little bit as much as God loves us? Hardly. Such love is characteristic of a person while he is a child. Over the years, we lose the ability to love like that.

How should one repent?

The prayer of repentance to Jesus Christ contains a request to forgive all sins - both intentional and unintentional. For prayer to have power, you need to think about your life, think analytically about what we did wrong in the face of God. Saying: “I repent of being rude to Ivan Ivanovich,” think and remember what prompted you to behave differently. Try to unwind the tangle, looking for the root cause. Focus on your personal involvement. When mentally communicating with God, do not shift the blame from yourself to other people. After all, in your heart you understand that everything is your fault. Mutual love with all people is possible only after accepting the love of God into your heart.

Why, after reading a prayer of repentance, do some people not see changes in their lives?

Many wise people, filled with divine love and condescension, reason like this: “Prayer of repentance and forgiveness are one and the same thing. Having confessed and admitted our sins before God, we immediately receive forgiveness from Him.” This is probably true. But why in this case the troubles still do not recede forever? Perhaps because repentance must be active, that is, it must be confirmed by some other actions besides prayer?

Russian monarchs always bowed their heads before the Lord

Even the Russian tsars, anointed by God, from time to time retired to monasteries, where, under the guidance of a confessor, they were given the sacrament of confession and repentance. The prayer of repentance has great power. Performed with complete contrition of the heart, it transforms a person’s personality and changes his mentality. Confessing sins is a difficult matter. It is shameful and scary to repent and reveal your sin. Pride does not allow one to admit weaknesses, and everyone has pride. Without prayerful work on a personality, it grows like a cancerous tumor and metastasizes the mind. It is precisely such hopelessly spiritually sick people who say in a skeptical tone: “Prayer, sins, repentance - only the idle or stupid do this.”

I sinned - I repented. It's so easy

Atheists also have another stereotype regarding believers. “Everything is simple for you: if you sinned, you repented. We can assume that nothing happened.” They believe that a prayer of repentance and forgiveness pronounced out loud or silently acts like a spell “Open Sesame!” in the fairy tale about Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. This can be heard even from fully educated people.

How does repentance brought to God manifest itself in real life?

Repentance changes a person’s consciousness so much that he no longer repeats the sin for which he repented. This does not happen because he is ashamed or afraid of the priest, who will scold him at the next confession and call him a weakling who could not control himself. Not at all. The prayer of repentance to Jesus Christ truly has sacred properties. This is confirmed by the following experience. To conduct the experiment, we took two vessels with clean water. A prayer to Jesus Christ, the Mother of God or a saint was read over one, and the names of famous villains were said over the other. In the first case, the ice crystals turned out to be a very beautiful, symmetrical shape, and in the second they took on the appearance of piles of ugly broken pieces.

A short prayer of great power

A simple and short prayer of repentance, consisting of four words: “Lord, forgive me, a sinner,” has enormous power. The Lord hears her. He reads in a person’s heart how sincere his conversion is, and decides what kind of transformation of his personality and destiny a person can accept.

Very often a small sin becomes a big lesson. A person, having sinned in a small way and having suffered from remorse over this, turns to God for forgiveness. Such a prayer for repentance to the Lord averts great trouble, just as unrepentant sin always leads to even greater ones. This usually happens with children.

Adults often pronounce the prayer of repentance to Jesus Christ formally, without strong contrition of heart. For this reason, they are not able to feel the full power of its action, although even formal prayer is always heard by the Lord and receives a response. In addition, many adults have little trust in the Providence of the Creator and stubbornly dictate to Him their vision of a happy life.

Is there a concept of “the best prayer for solving a specific problem”?

We ask our friends who knows the most effective prayer for all occasions? Which image should I read the Akathist in order to get an “excellent” grade in the exam? Which saint will help solve housing problems? Who will attract customers to an unprofitable store? Which saint will heal from illness? The best prayer is repentance of pride. An adult, without noticing it himself, is rarely able to critically and objectively evaluate his life. He sees a lot of things distorted. What causes his joy and pride is sometimes not worth much in the eyes of the Creator, and what he did casually, almost mechanically, without attaching much importance, becomes that “crust of the publican’s bread” that saved his soul from eternal suffering.

How to prepare for confession and repentance?

Prayer before repentance is of great importance. Before proceeding to confession, read “Our Father”, “Rejoice to the Virgin Mary”, “Heavenly King”, “Symbol of Faith”. These prayers are said in order to tune in to a conversation with God, detach yourself from everyday worries and think about what thought, what concern you want to convey to the Heavenly Father.

If it is difficult and scary to approach God, ask the Most Holy Theotokos for strength and determination. The prayer of repentance of the Mother of God is no less effective than the prayer addressed to Jesus Christ.

Learn to seek and find the Image of the Creator in His creations, and then your soul will become happy and calm, and peace, love and grace will reign in your home.
