Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker

All Christians, Orthodox and Catholics, know about the miraculous influence of prayer on a person, his destiny, and therefore, in difficult life situations, they turn to the Almighty for help and ask him for personal leniency towards their lost soul.

Very often, during a streak of failures at work or in family matters, believers ask for help from Nicholas the Wonderworker, pray and believe that they will certainly be guided on the path by the true savior and patron Nicholas the Wonderworker, whose prayers have a powerful effect.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help

The prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker (Pleasant) for help is one of the most read and popular prayers among Christian believers, because Saint Nicholas himself performed miracles during his lifetime.

Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered the patron saint of travelers, merchants and all the poor and needy, probably due to the fact that he tamed the elements and saved the ship from the wreck on which he was at that moment, and also protected people from death, saved the condemned, the innocently guilty , - helped then, helps now.

The prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help will become stronger when the person praying is imbued with the spoken words and fully believes in the true help of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and in his power as a Saint. Before reading the prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help, mentally indicate a specific request and after that begin to pray for yourself, your loved ones or friends, not forgetting to be baptized.

Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper! Help me, a sinner and sad person in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Nicholas the Wonderworker lived in the 3rd century AD. in the Lycian city of Myra, from childhood Nicholas devoted himself to serving the Lord and quite early became an archbishop. His fate was unfortunate - in the middle of his life's journey, Nicholas the Wonderworker became poor and homeless, but never refused patronage to those in need.

After his death, Nicholas the Wonderworker became a true Wonderworker, his holy relics healed hopelessly sick people and saved the suffering. December 19 is the day of remembrance of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker (Pleasant), the day of his veneration.

A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker that changes fate should be read for 40 days; if for any reason you miss at least one time between these 40 days, you will have to start all over again - pray and ask St. Nicholas the Wonderworker to change your fate.

The prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, which changes fate, is very strong and lasts 40 days, so you should not expect that the effect of the prayer will begin from the very first day.

Changing fate is very tempting, of course. (Although, depending on which direction). Yes, the text of the prayer is so huge, how can you not get lost while reading it?

just print out the text on a piece of paper and read it slowly, without rushing. this way there is less chance of making a mistake. I always do this.

In short, it’s not anywhere, I’ve already looked, the poet will have to suffer with this and pray.

I don't understand the problem. There is the first prayer, which is short, read it if the text of the second is too long for you.

I think the same too. St. Nicholas doesn’t care exactly how you pray, kmk. If only from the heart.

There is no need to simplify the approach to prayer and make it completely primitive. Each exists for something specific, each has its own purpose.

A woman told me in church that God knows what’s best for us and sees our goal. IMHO.

The saint helps everyone and everything - verified.

right to everyone and everything. What do you think he is, a fairy godmother? and who checked it, I wonder?

Why so much negativity? You should definitely pray more often. Maybe you'll attack people less.

I still don’t believe that one prayer can really change one’s destiny. I'm looking for reviews, so far everything is unclear.

The saint definitely helps - he influences fate; maybe life won’t take a sharp turn, but there will be improvements. IMHO.

Do you have any specific examples? Or is this just your guess?

Thank you, I was just looking for a prayer to change my fate, I was tired of living on one salary.

Nicholas the Wonderworker should be in every home, I have two icons - in every room!

most best helper- St. Nicholas, I believe him and no one else

Different people pray to the saint age groups. This is probably the only holy Deity with universal capabilities):

May Nikolai Ugodnik help. I pray in church at home at work, I believe in him alone limitlessly in his exceptional power

It’s doubtful about fate, of course, but it’s worth praying for help!

and I always pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker: in sorrow and joy;) Maybe it’s self-hypnosis, but after prayer it seems life begins to get better. IMHO.

December 19th every year religious holiday St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in popular language, the whole of Europe celebrates the Pleasant, especially children waiting for gifts from Nicholas. The tradition is wonderful, but not everyone knows about it :)

but you can pray to Nicholas not only on December 19, but all year round? so what does that have to do with.

madi must be thinking out loud?! I pray to the Saint for the fulfillment of my desires; I have one cherished desire, so I ask the saint for a miracle and help every day, not paying attention to holidays.

Every year on the feast of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on December 19, my daughter and I go to church to put a candle in front of the icon to pray until this year did not know about the existence of a special prayer. Thank you for the text, you are doing a very necessary job for believers!

for me this prayer is strong and most effective, it has helped me more than once

Praying for 40 days to change fate? It's probably worth it. I believe in Nicholas the Wonderworker, so I’ll decide to try it myself rather than listen to the Miracles of the saint from strangers.

I have the same text left over from my grandmother in her old prayer book.

The miracle worker has great strength to provide assistance in various worldly problems. Our family, with the help of prayer, Nikolai manages not to lose heart and live on after all the hardships that have befallen us.

Is it possible to change a person’s destiny through prayer? Help me understand which one I should choose to start my life again? I am 35 years old, no family, no children, my husband left me and went to live with a young neighbor, I was left without funds and without a job.

try the prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, it helped me in a similar situation, only my situation was even more deplorable than yours - I had three children left in my arms. Glory to God and the Pleasant, I came out of poverty and found a normal job that helped raise the children on their feet. read diligently and everything will be fine.

Olga, I admire women who are capable of making any sacrifice for the sake of children! Instead of sitting idly by, it’s better to go headlong into work, if there is no suitable one yet, go to a low-paying one (I took on two jobs) - it also helps to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, to all the saints you believe in, and to continue searching for something you like. IMHO.

People, did any of those present pray to the relics of the Saint brought to Moscow?

Vera Ivanovna, I’ll answer your question if you allow. We went as a family and stood in a long line, but it was worth it. Nicholas the Wonderworker truly works miracles, the image of the icon impressed me so much with its greatness that we have been under the impression for several days now! Everyone, young and old, prayed, asking for everything they could ask for!

Girls, Nicholas the Wonderworker is my protector and patron! How many times he saved me cannot be expressed in words. I don’t know how I served His Grace?!

What prayer did you read?

What kind of prayer did you read?

Also the most strong prayer out of loneliness mothers can say St. Nicholas the Wonderworker unmarried girls. Many of them want their daughter to get married as soon as possible and be happy in her marriage.

Why is there no prayer for a successful search for a wife? Why are men deprived in this regard?

The main thing is to believe, Alexander, and you will certainly find your happiness! I believe!

Because men should make the first step, and women should wait for their husband.

Alexander, I’m also single and praying, I hope))

There is a good prayer in the prayer book for a man for his wife. Look in icon shops.

I pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker. I know he will help! Glory to Nicholas the Wonderworker.

I started reading prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in the mornings on the subway (at other times it is difficult and difficult to concentrate) two weeks ago. And today my father-in-law has a heart attack... And it’s scary what will happen. Most likely, they will find him unfit for work, and his corporate pension, which he had been waiting for, will be wiped out. He still has 1.5 years of work left to do... Nikolai Ugodnik, pray to God for him!

My dear ones! Brothers in Christ!

Every day, in all Orthodox churches read in the name of our God Jesus Christ: “Do not trust in princes, in the sons of men. There is no salvation in them.” And what about you? “Don’t you hear and don’t see?” and are you chasing a blizzard? Do you ignore the instructions of the Almighty himself and rush to a person for help and salvation? Isn't this a mistake in faith? Isn't this a sin before the Lord our God?

How many times have I observed in the temple during the service to our Lord God. Such “believers” will run in and immediately let’s kiss all the icons of all the holy people in a row. And, imagine, most often this action begins with Nikolai the saint. They run and kiss, but they don’t even come close to the image of Jesus Christ, the image of God. So they will leave the temple satisfied and self-confirmed in their faith. Why is this happening? Yes, because there are sinners who are engaged in hysteria, confusing the people, perverting and replacing faith in God with faith in the omnipotence of man. Even if it’s a canonized HUMAN BEING.

It is necessary to honor holy people, but, P R E J E V S E G O! ! ! give honors to the Most High, to the Mother of God, to John the Baptist, and only then to everyone else. Only in this order and not otherwise! Anyone who disagrees with this - “throw a stone at me.”

In relation to the saints.

I do not consider it sacrilege when I assert that all of them, just like us, sinners, are equal both before God and before people. But which of them is more revered is a moot point. I think that for Orthodox Russians the most revered should be the Apostle Andrew the First-Called, who brought faith to our land and to our people. This is his great merit, which is worthy of all respect. Regarding Saint Nicholas. I think that his services are to foreigners, but to the Russians there are none. Therefore, the veneration of him before our saints and the Apostle Andrew the First-Called was imposed on us by foreigners with far-reaching goals.

May the Lord strengthen us in the true Faith.

How can you say about the saints that they are sinners like us people. They are saints and stand before the throne of God... If you are mistaken, why are you writing for people to read. And there is no difference in nationality and which of the saints to address in representation before the Lord is chosen by the person himself

Glory to Nicholas the Wonderworker!

I believe that we are mere mortal people, and the saints are chosen people and we ask them to help us pray for us before our God, hear us, intercede, ask them to atone for our sins, ask God to perform a miracle, etc. We, like children, seek support and protection and turn to someone who is closer to God.

I love God, but I revere the saints. Nicholas the Wonderworker is the first icon in my mind since childhood. I always pray to him. And besides all, many other saints. Matrona very often - I keep her image in my head - she helped me very much and created 2 huge miracles in my life, which helped to further strengthen my faith in God! I am grateful to God and Matrona and all the Saints.

Today is the Nativity of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker - low bow and gratitude.

Father Nicholas the Wonderworker! Thank you, never leave me! I believe and live by Faith and Love! Glory to the Lord for everything!

You keep those floating on the waters; You saved many drowning people.

You keep them on the road, which were caught by the winds, great snow, fierce frost, and heavy rain. You protect houses and estates from being set on fire by evil-minded people and from ultimate burning. You protect creatures on the way from the attacks of evildoers.

Intercede for me from the despondency and despair that surrounds me in evil. Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself suffered imprisonment in prison for the holy faith and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how difficult it is to be deprived of freedom and to remain in chains.

Since you have helped many who pray to you in prison! Make this misfortune easier for me, who is sitting in prison. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!

Pray earnestly for this too, that we may be delivered from eternal prison, that with your help we may be saved, I glorify God, wondrous in His saints, amen.
