Psalm to David, before the anointing, 26
The Lord is my light and my Savior, whom shall I fear? Lord Protector of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? Sometimes approach me angry, hedgehog to demolish my flesh that offends me, and defeat mine, these are exhausted and fallen. If a regiment takes up arms against me, my heart will not be afraid; if a scolding arises against me, I trust in him. I asked the Lord alone, then I will seek: if we live in the house of the Lord all the days of my belly, see the beauty of the Lord, and visit His holy temple. As if hiding me in Your village on the day of my evils, covering me in the mystery of Your village, exalt me to a stone. And now, lift up my head, against my enemies: I have lived and devoured in His village the sacrifice of praise and exclamation, I will sing and sing to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my voice, which I called out: have mercy on me and hear me. My heart speaks to you, I will seek the Lord. I will seek thee my face, Thy face, O Lord, I will seek. Do not turn Your face away from me, and do not turn away with anger from Your servant: be my helper, do not reject me, and do not leave me, O God my Savior. As my father and mother have left me, the Lord will receive me. Set me a law, O Lord, in Your way and guide me to the right path for my enemies' sake. Do not betray me into the souls of those who are aching for me, as if you have risen on me as a witness of injustice and lie to yourself. By faith to see the good of the Lord in the land of the living. Be patient with the Lord, be of good cheer, and let your heart be strong, and be patient with the Lord.
Psalm 90
Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I fall on Him. Like that He will deliver you from the network of hunters, and from the word of his rebellious splash of His will overshadow you and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon. Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and the darkness at your right hand, but both your eyes will not come close to you, and you will see the reward of sinners. As you, O Lord, are my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge. Evil will not come to you and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you; keep you in all your ways. They will take you in their arms, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilisk and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.

Using our thoughts and faith, we can keep in touch with God because He is the source of our energy. Going on a journey, you must always “empty” your mind from destructive thoughts and negative attitudes that deprive us of divine energy. The mind must be "filled" with such thoughts that can fill life with prosperity and success. Everyone should work on this aspect of life on their own, because in this case it is impossible to get help from anyone.
“Living” words are something that can change our consciousness and attitude towards everything that surrounds us. They help us fight fears, negative thoughts, feelings of dissatisfaction with life. When making any plans, always "add" a generous portion of love or positive energy to them, using words and thoughts. Before the road, say aloud:
"My path is illuminated by love, which will make the wind fair and the road pleasant."
On the eve of the trip, you need to find time to sit in silence and hear your thoughts, which were not heard in a series of life events.
If before the trip you are disturbed by anxious thoughts about the upcoming road, then remind yourself that throughout your life God has helped you, so it is wise not to forget about it on the road. You can scroll through your head like this:
“Your strength rescued me for a long time, and I believe that it will continue to keep me.”
The energy with which the message of these thoughts will be delivered is extremely important, since it must necessarily come with purity of faith and an open heart. Your subconscious needs to be convinced happy outcome everything that you have in mind - thoughts about the trip should be only constructive.
Each of us is able to overcome fear, but not everyone succeeds. To do this, we need to develop our faith. If a person needs to fly somewhere, then often he is overcome by an obsessive fear or a gloomy foreboding. The thought that soon he will have to rise above the level of the clouds causes a strong feeling of fear. In the air, the plane is a completely different world, being at an incredible height for a person. But in order to get rid of anxiety and fear during the flight, our thinking must ascend as high as the plane in which the restless passengers are.
Before the flight, you need to retire, mentally “drawing” a successful route in your head. Faith and right thoughts will help you tune in to positive thinking. The following prayer can be used before leaving the house:
“Holy Angel of Christ, protector and spiritual guardian! Protect me as I walk the earth into the unknown. Do not leave and protect from troubles and wounds. I entrust my life and soul to you. Protect me just as you protect others. Amen".
Words must be pronounced consciously, since the whole meaning lies in the faith and understanding of them by the person who reads this prayer. A bright message should come from the heart, and words are only an auxiliary, but necessary element.
Religious feeling is a true and natural part of life, so do not make it artificial and pompous. Many believers, relying on their hearts, easily find language with the Lord. If they are happy, they gladly share their feelings with God, and if they are worried, then they thank for the help already done for them and again entrust their lives to him. Prayer speech should not be difficult to understand, first of all, for the believer himself:
“Lord, I thank you for being with me in all joyful and sad days. I am happy that I can reach out and ask for your help. You have always been kind to me, and I am grateful. Now, in the name of Jesus, grant me a safe flight and a safe landing. Amen".
Faith counteracts fear and helps you not to panic or lose your head. If you are calm, then you think rationally, which means that all worries can be dealt with. If you live with God in your soul, you cannot feel insecure. It is necessary to "arm yourself with a spiritual sword" and go out to battle with the fear and troubles that can occur while traveling by land transport.
The Gospel of Mark says that you can ask the Lord for whatever you want, but the main thing is to believe in it yourself. Praying successfully is possible only when using visualization. Before the road, you need to clearly present the “road” picture, safe departure and arrival at the destination. As a result of the prayer process, the believer gets what he thinks, not what he says.
If you pray for an accident-free journey, for a favorable outcome to difficult situations, but imagine a road accident or various misadventures along the way, your words will not bring any results, because defeat is already accepted subconsciously.
It is necessary to believe that at the moment of prayer, a blessing comes to you. You should pray for a successful arrival and a successful process:
“I live in harmony with God’s word. And I commit my safety to the Lord. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen";
“God created my body and soul. He will protect me in a dangerous way. Amen";
“Today before the trip, I feel full of energy and life. And after the trip, I will feel. I thank God for his help and entrust my life to him. Amen".
“... May goodness and mercy accompany me all the days of my life” (Psalm 22:6).
In the process of prayer, you need to feel every word and draw your path with color pictures. When imagining your road, a long journey, you need to mentally live it in such a way that the desired outcome of events is reflected in your consciousness.
Trusting God and living one day at a time is what is needed along the way. To overcome a strong fear before any trip, long-term or short-term, is possible only in advance, having prepared yourself and your faith in God. The Bible from John says that you can ask the Lord whatever you want, but the words of God must “abide” in you. The Bible can be a source not only of faith, but also of those very “living” words that prepare us for difficulties.
With a strong fear of the road, it is necessary to turn to the Lord every day for seven days with the same request, however, the prayer must contain Bible verses that you have chosen yourself. As you read them, delve into the deeper meaning, as it will give confidence in the journey and help you gain control over anxiety.
Not always a person turns to prayer before a trip because of a sense of fear. Positive believers before the road need only remind themselves of a successful journey (small or large), which he will soon have. For example, in the morning, getting out of bed, you need to say to yourself:
“Today (tomorrow / the day after tomorrow) I will have a wonderful day. The Lord will accompany me, just as I mentally always follow Him. The whole day will pass without incident and according to plan.
Such a phrase represents the beginning of a process that will lead to materialization. Hope for a favorable outcome must be trained by repeating positive attitudes to oneself and aloud.
Going on the road, you need to understand how important the upcoming path will be, and draw from it all the spiritual opportunities. If the trip will be alone, many will have the opportunity to explore their relationship with God, communicating with him in the process. Calls can start like this:
“I open my soul to God and devote my time to talking about my faith”;
“Lord! I turn to You and entrust my soul to You”;
“My thoughts are pure and my words are sincere. My soul is directed only to positive experience, and I myself am aimed (a) to give only good.
The continuation is based on the situation in which the person is. A long road can contain many unforeseen situations, so there are no universal prayers for every situation. Faith is the basis of all words that are spoken in an appeal to the Lord God. Sincere emotions and devotion to one's words can endow any appeal with the power that is enough to respond from above.
During a long trip, it is necessary to “cleanse” the mind from negative thoughts. Prayer should be said where the believer feels protected, without haste and considering every word. The road ahead can only bring positive results if thoughts are directed in the right direction, and if there is always God and strong faith in the heart.
Prayer is effective only when all mental faculties are involved, and a person is ready to experience a new spiritual experience that can change his whole life. Road is a symbolic concept. Believers who are anxious before a flight or a trip by car, train or bus should think about what causes the fear of the upcoming journey. Whatever a person does, he needs to keep in touch with the Lord, but many seek help only when fear appears. It is never too late to pave the “road” to God, and a real journey can become a spiritual beginning for many.
The road for the motorist has always been considered a test and difficulty. That is why it is necessary to pay due attention to prayer - the communication of the human soul with the Creator of the World.
Prayer on the road by car is milestone preparing for a journey of any distance. An equally important point is a visit to the confessor to receive a blessing. After all, it is the priest-priest who will pray for the blessed outcome of the journey.
The Lord is present in a person’s life under any circumstances, so the driver’s prayer before the road will help the Christian find a mood and blessing along the way.
You should mentally turn to the Heavenly Forces only a few times during the entire journey.

Most often, drivers stick icons on the front panel of the car, some attach them to the windshield, facing the track.
How to pray to an Orthodox driver
On the way, you need to rely not only on help from Above, but also on your attentiveness.
But it should be remembered that in the event of an accident there is always a culprit and a righteous person. Even the perfect driver can suffer from a drunken scorcher. It is in such critical situations The intercession of the saints is more important than ever.
Machine - source heightened danger, this is taught to children from the moment they begin to walk, and lawyers are aware civil law. And an Orthodox person who prays before starting any work should pray especially attentively in moments of danger.
The driver's prayer is a strong and reliable protection for those on the road.
Before you get behind the wheel - do not be too lazy to turn to the Lord and his saints (Nikolai Ugodnik, for example) with a request for assistance and protection. If the car breaks down - ask the Lord to help - and you will see His power - if the mechanisms do not work as expected at your first word - do not be upset, humble yourself, you are not yet ready to work miracles. But God will not leave you, He will manage everything wisely and take care of you.
To always return home safe and sound, turn to God's help before the road, on the way, in any difficulties and troubles that lie in wait on the road.
If you like to travel by car - pray to the Guardian Angel, do not forget also about appeals to Nicholas the Wonderworker.
How to pray?
The main thing, as you know, is to pray from the heart, sincerely and fervently. Pray before the road, when you have not yet set off, it is better to pray on the way to yourself. Inexperienced drivers should not take their hands off the wheel, so there is no need to be baptized on the way. Drive carefully and responsibly, remembering the responsibility that you have assumed by sitting behind the wheel. But you should not make deep bows and venerate the icon, zealous faith is wonderful, but there is no need to rush to God ahead of schedule.
If you were given an icon to mount in a car, treat it reverently, mount it where it is more convenient for you and where you can do it technically (depending on the type of mount - suction cups, magnet, double-sided tape). Do not treat the icon with disrespect, it, despite its small size, is a shrine. Do not think that the icon is a talisman against an accident, breakdown or other road hardships.
Do not attribute to the icon magical properties, this is sinful and stupid.
The same can be said about the rite of consecration of the chariot (car). This is not a talisman, not a guarantee of the absence of breakdowns, not emergency protection. This is a protection for people sitting in the car, or otherwise interacting with it. Prayer does not have an end in itself to protect the mechanisms and the body.
Types of motorist prayers
Of course, the first and most important purpose of the car is to deliver the driver and passengers to their destination safe and sound. The main prayer is a prayer to the Lord for preservation and help on the way, it is in every prayer book.
There are other prayers with which you can ask for God's help along the way, for example, you can turn to God through the Guardian Angel, who protects a person all the days of his life and protects him from dangers.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, who is the patron saint of all travelers by any means and mode of transport, helps on the road.
This is connected with the story from the life of the Saint, in which he saved a large number of people from death, having pacified the sea storm by the power of his prayer to God on the deck of the ship.
There are also special prayers for travelers in the prayer book addressed to the Mother of God and Jesus Christ.
You can also pray in your own words, if the prayer is sincere, if it comes from the heart, the Lord will hear and accept it.
There is no such thing as “the consequences of the use of prayer” in the Orthodox tradition, prayer is not a spell. A fervent and sincere prayer will be strong, even if a person turns to God for the first time.
Do not think that if you bless the car and read prayers, this will automatically insure you against breakdowns and accidents. From breakdowns, go through maintenance on time, from accidents, the best recipe is to look carefully around, follow the signs and the traffic situation in general. Take out high-quality insurance in a reliable insurance company and do not get behind the wheel in a tired or sick state.
The consecration of the car and the prayers of the driver are aimed at protecting people. But you should not rely only on divine protection: God will only help you, and he will not do everything for you.
In our time, when the driver of a car is constantly in danger, when he is driving, the protection of the Almighty is always needed. And in order for the Lord to hear a person sitting behind the wheel, he should turn to him by reading a prayer. There are several of them, and about drivers, about travelers. Even an unbelieving person, knowing what danger can lie in wait for him on the roads, involuntarily turns to God to save him from death and various troubles. It is not necessary to know such a prayer word for word. It is enough that a person, in his own words, from a pure heart and sincerely, turns to the Lord God and asks him to protect him on a trip. Many people do this, including me, as a motorist.
Accident statistics are frightening, the number of accidents on the road is increasing every year at times. The driver's prayer helps to protect oneself from unpleasant situations, wrong decisions and other problems. Motorists themselves and people who worry about them can read it.
There are many prayer texts that can be used by people on the road or their relatives. There are a number of rules that should be considered so that the driver's prayer is heard:
One of the most powerful prayer appeals is the text sent to Nikolai Ugodnik. This saint is known to many for his responsiveness, since a huge number of believers confirm that he always provides help. During his lifetime, he saved sailors from certain death, and since then he has been recognized as one of the main patrons of sailors and travelers. Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker before the road gives drivers tremendous power, so it protects against possible accidents, helps to concentrate on the road and contributes to an easy trip.
Learning something new is difficult, especially when it comes to driving. First trips to car roads accompanied by experiences, which can cause wrong actions and even accidents. In this case, it is important to know what kind of prayer is for novice drivers, which will give confidence in their abilities and protect them from different problems. Before you go on your first journey, it is recommended to make a charm for yourself. Take a sheet of paper, write a prayer on it and sew it into a new scarf. Keep the finished bag close to your body during the trip.
An icon can be used as a talisman in a car, but it is better not to hang it for general viewing and keep it away from prying eyes. In addition, it should be borne in mind that the image is not a talisman from accidents, since it protects people, not the car. There is a prayer for the driver on the road, which is read to make powerful amulet. It is necessary to take an aspen twig and split it on both sides. After that, holding it in your hands, say a prayer three times and hide the amulet under the seat so that no one sees.
If loved ones go on the road, then you can read a special prayer to protect them from possible problems and ensure a safe return home. More effective is the conciliar prayer of the driver in front of the road, that is, joint, when several relatives read the text at the same time. You need to say prayer addresses every day while a person is on the road. Prayer for the driver on the way can be backed up by lithium ordered from the temple.

Complexity modern life is that it does not allow people to live in peace and relax a little. After all, problems and difficulties await us at every step. And one of the most dangerous places is the road. In general, the car is a source of increased danger. The main confirmation is traffic police reports. On the road every day there are a lot of tragic accidents that occur due to certain circumstances. And in order to protect yourself from the machinations of fate, you need to use a strong prayer on the road, which will save you from various dangers of this kind.
An Orthodox person constantly prays before starting an important matter, so special attention should be paid to prayer appeals at such moments of danger. After all, such an appeal to the Heavenly Forces is a strong, and most importantly, reliable protection for those who spend a lot of time on the road.
A distinctive feature of prayers on the road by car is that it can be read not only by the person to whom they are directed. Who can perform such rituals?
Every believer can protect himself from all sorts of problems along the way. To do this, you need to turn with a prayer request to the Almighty or the Saints. This is great for those people who are not used to relying on luck, but do everything for sure.
Prayer on the road to a son and a loved one
In this case, a prayer appeal is read for a person who sets off on a journey. Anyone can do this: daughter, wife, aunt, godmother, brother, mother-in-law or just a close person.
Be careful and before you get behind the wheel of your car - do not be lazy to turn to God or the Saints with an appeal for protection or assistance. Or if your car breaks down, turn to the Lord and you will see his power. Of course, you should not hope that at your first word all the mechanisms will start their work again, but the Almighty will never leave us, because he always takes care of us and always rules wisely.
To always return home safe and sound, you can turn to Nikolai Ugodnik. He will take you away from any troubles and difficulties that may lie in wait for you on a long journey. After all, as you know, it was during the journey that the gift of miracles and insight was opened in the Pleasant.
Even during his lifetime, he was able to cope with a terrible storm with his strength, and dispelled all the menacing clouds. Since that time, Nikolai Ugodnik has been considered the patron saint of travelers. And for almost two thousand years, many people have prayed to him on the road with requests for well-being on the road.
If you are going to long way then read it several times next prayer in front of the road by car:
“Wonderworker Nikolai, protect me from a dashing ride. On the road and on the way, in parking lots and hauls, may the Guardian Angel protect me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. May your will be done. Amen"
If you need to go on a short trip, moving or a very long journey, then a daily prayer service will do while you are on the road. It is best to pray early in the morning (meaning until eight in the morning). It is also worth paying attention that the motorist or traveler himself needs to read it. The words of this appeal should be read three times. You need to pronounce it in a whisper and with your eyes closed.
“Lord Almighty, Our God, I turn to you for support! I ask you for help, I pray for your indulgence! On the road, I find myself difficult, many obstacles on my way: People are bad, thoughts are crappy, urgent problems! Save me, save me, guide me on the true path And help me not to go off it. Make my road Smooth and even, problems and misfortunes are bypassed. So that I went on the way, so I returned! I trust in Your help, I appeal to support! Your name glorify! Amen!"
Most importantly, remember that prayer has never had and never will have any consequences. The thing is that a prayer appeal is not a spell. Also, do not think that if you consecrate the car, and also read the prayer on the road by car, then this will automatically insure you against breakdowns, accidents, etc. Best Recipe From all this - carefully look at the road!
God bless you!
