To find a lost thing, what prayers should you read? Prayer to John the Warrior for offenders, for lost things, for stolen goods and from enemies

My story is as follows: I lost my passport two days before my flight to the sea. I searched the whole house, looked through every folder, every shelf. It was a pity to the point of tears that the vacation would be wasted just like that. When I finally despaired, I decided to read a prayer to John the Warrior (I heard that this particular saint helps to find losses). After prayer, my condition improved, I calmed down and even internally agreed with the situation. Everything that happens is needed by God! And the passport was miraculously found!

In the evening, when I was about to go to bed, I suddenly remembered that I had gone to my neighbor’s house to scan documents. It was already late, but I couldn’t stand it and knocked on the next door. In the end, my guess turned out to be correct! I almost kissed my neighbor with joy: the passport was really under the scanner cover! They did not use the device, so they did not notice that there was anything extra there.

The holy Warrior performed such a miracle for me. I thanked the saint for a long time, and during my vacation I found an Orthodox church and placed a candle in front of the image of John the Warrior. Through sincere prayer, a believer is given real help in any matter, including the loss of things.

Miracle Prayer

Prayer for a lost item helps, so do not be afraid to ask a Higher Power for help if you have lost something valuable to yourself. Ask God, through the prayer of a saint (most often John the Warrior or Spyridon of Trimifuntsky), to open your eyes and direct you to where the search will be successful.

If you feel like you're asking for small change, don't worry. Ask God for forgiveness for distracting him because of the loss, but explain that the missing item is very dear to you (tell why, and also describe how you feel about losing this item).

After this, you can read the canonical prayer dedicated to John the Warrior or Saint Spyridon. It is also believed that the search for the loss will be successful if you pray to the great Nicholas the Wonderworker. This saint can help in almost any matter, including searches.

My friends have found missing car keys, rings, jewelry, phones, books. There were even parcels lost in the mail, as well as credit cards and wallets forgotten in the cafe. At the same time, some people lost valuables in busy places - in shops, on the beach, in the park.

It would seem that there was no chance that the lost item would be found. But everything turned out well! Kind people appeared who found what was lost and returned it to the owner without any reward. Other people found their missing items in places where they had already searched many times.

Many people say that in an apartment a lost item appears as if out of nowhere. For others, like me, after prayer, new ideas suddenly appeared on where to look for more. And these ideas turned out to be true!

But, as a rule, sincere prayer is rewarded: your desire is fulfilled quickly and accurately. Therefore, be sure to pray, and you will be heard; for a true believer there are no barriers.

Is it worth reading conspiracies?

People believe that the loss of something is the work of brownies, goblins or other demons. They have fun, tease us, steal various items. In this regard, there is a popular belief that in order to return something lost, one must turn to the evil spirits who stole this or that item.

Perhaps, after such conspiracies, the missing person may be found. But a believer should think: who helped find her? Obviously, it is precisely the demons who stole it, to whom the conspiracy speaks. Is there any point in contacting them and asking them for something?

An Orthodox person will not communicate with the forces of darkness. This is both dangerous and unreasonable, and goes against the Christian faith. Even if everyone recommends that you read some kind of “miraculous” conspiracy, do not listen to anyone. It’s better to pray, and then not the demons, but God himself will help you find your loss. Even if the texts of the conspiracies look quite harmless, it is better not to take risks and not communicate with demonic forces.

Appeal to John the Warrior: prayer to find a lost item

As already mentioned, one of the best helpers in case of loss is John the Warrior. The great saint lived in ancient times, during the era of persecution of Christians. John, as a professional mercenary, was sent to kill Christians. But the warrior himself accepted the Christian faith and became the defender of all the oppressed. He provided patronage to those from whom something significant was stolen, and fought against thieves.

That is why today we turn to John the Warrior for help in case of loss, and the saint hurries to tell us where it is better to look.

The most important thing during prayer is faith. Just believe that you will be helped, that you are heard and trusted, and the words of your prayer will be heard.

If you wish, you can contact God directly or St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, but with a detailed explanation of what exactly you are asking for (what is missing and why this thing is so dear to you). There is also an idea that a lost thing will definitely be found if you read the “I Believe” prayer and Psalm 50 (repentance) many times.

Read the text of the prayer or psalm thoughtfully, slowly. Tune in to the fact that you are talking to God (or his saint). Think that nothing is impossible for God, and that upon a sincere request from believers, he will definitely come to the rescue, and your search will be crowned with success.

From Julian, the godless king, Saint John the Stratelate was sent to kill Christians, you helped some from your estate, while others, convincing you to flee from torment by the infidels, you freed, and for this you suffered many torments and imprisonment in prison from the tormentor. After the death of the wicked king, being released from prison, you spent the rest of your life in great virtues until your death, adorning yourself with cleanliness, prayer and fasting, giving abundant alms to the poor, visiting the weak and comforting the mourning. Therefore, in all our sorrows, we have you as a helper and in all the troubles that befall us: we have you as a comforter, John the warrior; running to you, we pray to you, be the healer of our passions and the deliverer of our spiritual suffering, because you have received from God power useful for the salvation of all give, John of blessed memory, nourisher of wanderers, liberator of captives, physician of the weak: helper of orphans! Look at us, honoring your sacred joyful memory, intercede for us before the Lord, so that we may be heirs of His kingdom. Hear and do not reject us, and hasten to intercede for us, Stratelate John, who denounces thieves and kidnappers, and the thefts they commit in secret, faithfully praying to you, revealing to you, and bringing people to joy with the return of property. Resentment and injustice are heavy for every person, everyone grieves over the loss of something stolen or missing. Hearken to those who mourn, Saint John: and help them find the stolen property, so that, having found it, they glorify the Lord for His generosity forever. Amen.

Every person has lost something valuable at least once in their life. Sometimes losses are quickly found, you just need to remember where you forgot the item you were looking for. But there are times when it is not possible to find a lost item. In such a situation, prayer for a lost item helps.

The power of Orthodox prayer

Many people know the power of prayer requests pronounced before the faces of saints. Believers believe that this is the help of higher powers that responded to prayers. Others believe that a special neurolinguistic code is hidden in the sacred texts, influencing the human mind or helping to solve a life problem. But everyone agrees that a prayer service can help in solving a particular situation.

Prayers help not only in treating illnesses, but also in finding missing things. There are various reasons why a person cannot find the desired item. This can be either simple forgetfulness or inattention, or the result of a search for evil spirits.

It is necessary to seek help from higher powers when disappearances occur frequently or a person’s inattention interferes with his life. Whatever the reason, a prayer said from a pure heart will help:

• clear your mind;
• calm down;
• learn to concentrate or, conversely, to escape from the bustle of the world;
• replenish energy;
• heal diseases that can lead to memory impairment.

It is necessary to choose a prayer for searching for a lost item based on the existing situation. If the reason lies in forgetfulness, then it is necessary to read the prayer request in front of the face of a saint who healed people during his lifetime.

If there is a suspicion that evil spirits are to blame for the losses, then it is necessary to say a prayer to protect yourself and your home from otherworldly entities. You need to blame evil spirits if things disappear only at home. At the same time, other inexplicable phenomena occur in the room.

In the Orthodox faith, there are many prayers that allow you to find a missing item. They all have different strengths and are most effective only in certain situations.

The prayer read in front of the image of John the Warrior has the greatest power. And this despite the ambivalent attitude towards the personality of this person. Some call him an opponent of Christianity, others call him a true believer. It is believed that John the Warrior helped Christians escape, freed captives and warned people about the persecution that was being prepared for them. He also supported the mourning and sick.

Requests are made to this saint for intercession and help in finding a lost item. A prayer is said to him if it is necessary to find thieves, receive protection from offenders and restore justice. The Holy Great Martyr can contribute to the return of stolen, lost and lost things, as he helps all those offended.

Also, a prayer for the return of things is read in front of the image of Spyridon of Trimythous. There are many known cases when the saint helped in the search for something lost.

It is necessary to say prayers for the return of lost things only when you are in a good mood. Anger and accusations should not be tolerated. It is best to learn the sacred text by heart.

You need to not just mindlessly say the words of prayer. To receive help from higher powers, you need a deep understanding of the spoken text and strong faith.

If you believe, prayer will help clear your mind and remember where the lost item may be.

Reading text

“Saint John, who served in the army of Julian, the godless king who killed and persecuted righteous Christians, was sent by the Lord himself. In his own name, he helped those undeservedly punished, and allowed others to avoid torment. For his deeds he experienced good torment from the tormentor, and suffered imprisonment in prison. After the tormentor of the Christian people, the wicked king, died, was released and continued to do good deeds in the name of the Christian faith.

You are a great and just virtue; you spent the rest of your life’s journey in pure prayer and fasting. In his life, he always gave abundant alms to the poor, visited the weak and consoled the mourning. Therefore, we believers in all our sorrows turn to you and see in you a helper in all the troubles that occur. Be to us, Saint John, a true comforter and a healer of our spiritual passions. Because God himself gave you power and useful opportunities so that you could direct them to the salvation of true Christians. Hear us as we honor your memory, intercede before the Lord for us, let us hope for the Kingdom of Heaven.

Look at us and do not abandon us, grant us your intercession. Let us return our legitimate property, so that we will not be sad after theft and undeserved insult. Help me find what is lost. Let us glorify the Lord in all his manifestations of the Holy Trinity. Amen".

Strong prayers to John the Warrior have been known to people since ancient times, despite the ambiguous legends regarding his life and deeds. Some believe that John was against Christianity and Christians, although if you look at his life chronicle, it is clear from them that all his actions were aimed at helping Orthodox believers.

He served as a warrior for Julian the Apostate and, together with others, persecuted and killed Christians. But this was only a shell that those around him saw; in fact, he provided invaluable assistance to believers who were being persecuted:

• freed those captured;
• assisted in the escape;
• warned people in advance about impending persecution;
• the brave warrior visited the sick and helped the mourning.

When Emperor Julian learned about the deeds of Saint John, he ordered him to be imprisoned, and soon when Julian was killed in the Persian War, John was released and devoted his future life to preaching faith in the Lord God.

The martyr died in old age. In the Orthodox Church, July 30 is considered the day of veneration of the Great Martyr (according to the old style - August 12), on this day, as a rule, services are held in Orthodox churches.

Prayer to the martyr John the Warrior

The Holy Martyr is approached with pleas for help and intercession in a wide variety of situations:

• to return stolen items;
• to find thieves;
• it helps to find a lost thing;
• to protect yourself from all sorts of offenders;
• to restore justice, etc.

Many people think that a thief can forget about returning what was stolen. And some turn to the Holy Great Martyr in prayer and receive the stolen item or money back. After all, he always helped and still helps the offended.

You should only think about the return of what you lost in a positive way. Before prayer, you should not curse or get angry at the offender; it is important to be merciful and kind-hearted even to the person who offended you.

Before any appeal to the Holy Father, for example, before asking for a refund, it is important to read the prayer words “Our Father”. They do this in order to first turn to the Almighty, ask for forgiveness for their sins, intentional or accidental, and only then can they read a personal petition to John the Warrior.

At the same time, a prayer request is best received in an Orthodox church, in front of holy images.

Prayer to John the Warrior from the offender

“Oh, great martyr of Christ John, champion of the faithful, chaser of enemies and intercessor of the offended. Hear us, in troubles and sorrows, praying to you, as if grace from God has been given to you quickly to console the sad, to help the weak, to deliver the innocent from vain death, and to pray for all those who suffer evil.

Be therefore a strong champion for us against all our visible and invisible enemies, for with your help and fight all those who show us evil will be put to shame. Pray to our Lord, that He may grant us His sinful and unworthy servants to receive from Him the ineffable good that is prepared for those who love Him, in the Trinity of the Holy Ones, glorified by God, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen".

With the same exact text of the petition, a prayer to St. John the Warrior is read to search for the stolen property. It is necessary to think about the stolen item, imagine its return, read the “Our Father” and turn to the Holy Warrior; according to legend, after a short period of time the stolen item will return to its rightful owner.

They also resort to the help of the Great Martyr:

• When they want to protect themselves from enemies, or from enemy influence.
• Prayer to John the Warrior from enemies is a powerful protection from enemy forces, visible and invisible.
• People prayed to John during the war, so that the enemy would leave a foreign land, and then they began to turn because of human enmity: between loved ones, acquaintances, or simply envious people.

The icon - the image of the Holy Warrior, with which many Orthodox churches and temples are decorated, is found not only in churches in Russia, but also in other countries of the world.

Strong prayer in front of the icon of the Great Martyrs has saved Orthodox believers more than once. Whether it’s a terrible illness, or just a trouble in life, prayer always helps!

An icon of the Great Martyr will be a wonderful gift for a dear man named Ivan, and according to legend, if a man keeps this icon and always carries it with him, unexpected happiness will fall upon him in the near future.

For God to hear you, it is important to be pure before him. Approach prayer with crystal clear thoughts and setting yourself up for a positive result.

The Lord hears you!

How often it happens that we lose different things and cannot find them. What should we do then, because we really want everything to be found. ...

In the wonderful book “Unholy Saints”, Archimandrite Tikhon mentions a prayer rule about a lost thing - you need to read Psalm 50 and the Creed

Prayer rule for a lost item

Psalm 50

Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have done evil before You, so that You may be justified in Your words and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Symbol of faith

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were.

For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human.

She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried.

And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.

And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets.

Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

I drink the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the next century. Amen.
