According to the teaching christian church, every person has his own Guardian Angel. This bright essence protects its carrier from minor troubles every day, and in some situations even saves from death. However, there are more powerful forces directed by the Lord God to help humanity. In particular, such forces include the Supreme Angels of the Heavenly Host - the Archangels. Like the Saints and the Lord Himself, prayers can be offered to the Archangels. The forces of light will never refuse those who suffer if their intentions are pure.

But which Archangels need to be prayed to every day? How are such prayers read correctly? What can you ask the Light Forces for, and what should you not even think about? Which specific Supreme Angel should be addressed, depending on specific day weeks?
The answers to each of the questions above are in this article.

Which Archangels should we pray to?

According to Orthodox dogmas, there are an unprecedented multitude of Archangels in God’s Army, but 7 of them stand out in particular:

Michael - The Archangel, placed over chaos and the People of Israel, predominates over human virtues;
Gabriel - leader of the cherubs, dominates the snakes, guardian of Paradise;
Rafail - patron of human souls;
Uriel - Angel of the elements;
Yehudiel - patron of work, cruelly eradicating laziness;
Sarakael (Selaphiel) - overseer of the souls of people who allow themselves to transgress God’s and human laws;
Barachiel - overseer of those who rise from the dead, guide on the True Path.

The listed Guardians of the Lord can be prayed to, depending on the day of the week.

Prayers to the Archangels for each day of the week are listed below:

Monday- Prayer to Michael to ward off evil spirits;
Tuesday- an appeal to Gabriel against illness and illness;
Wednesday- prayers to Raphael for heaviness in the body and soul;
Thursday- prayers to Uriel from natural disasters and God’s disfavor;
Friday- appeal to Selafiel with a request for success in his endeavors;
Saturday- prayers to Jehudiel, allowing you to fight natural laziness;
Sunday- on this day it is necessary to attend the morning service, having previously prayed to Archangel Barachiel. This Heavenly Guardian will help you stay on the right path.

Important! Only a person baptized in the Orthodox Christian faith can offer prayers to the Archangels of the Lord.

How to prepare for prayer to the Archangels?

Preparation for the initial reading of prayers to the Archangels of the Lord includes the following stages:

Fast. You need to fast before praying to any of the Supreme Angels for at least a week. It is advisable that the lean diet does not include animal products;
Acceptance of repentance in church followed by absolution. This procedure is not mandatory, but highly desirable, since the energy of a pure soul reaches the Higher Spheres faster than the prayer service of a person stained by sin;
Frequent church attendance. It is also recommended to light candles every day for the health of family, loved ones and even your worst enemies;
Cleaning your own home from negative energy. Before the first reading of prayers to the Archangels, it is recommended to consecrate every corner of the apartment or house, sprinkling it with holy water (if necessary, you can call a priest). Also held spring-cleaning, old things are thrown away, broken dishes and other items with recognized negative impact on a person's aura;
A mindset of grace. When turning to the Higher Powers, the person praying must be in a cheerful mood, supported by undeniable faith;
Detachment from negativity. It is recommended that during the week before the first reading of the prayer to the Archangel, one renounces vicious worldly pleasures and bad habits;
Immediately before the prayer itself, wash yourself with holy water and cross yourself three times.

Preparatory procedures before praying to one of the Lord's Archangels are not mandatory. However, having cleansed the soul and body from worldly vanities, a person will be able to pray more diligently, and his prayers will be answered faster.

How to correctly read prayers to Angels?

For a person who wants to master prayers to the Archangels for every day, it is important to become familiar with the basic rules of prayer reading:

Sincerity. Not a single prayer will be heard if your thoughts directly contradict what you say in your address to the Archangel. Reading the text about Love for the Almighty, you must sincerely, with all your heart, love God and his Angels;
Detachment from all evil and negativity. During the prayer service one should not feel anger or rage. You cannot wish death, illness or misfortune even on your worst enemy. Before you start praying to the Archangels, find the strength to forgive your enemies and wish them goodness and prosperity;
Unshakability of faith. Most likely, an agnostic or atheist who decides to pray to the Archangels will only become stronger in his unbelief. The reason for this will be a blockage of the energy flow directed to the praying Higher Powers. Therefore, in order for a prayer to be heard, first of all, you need to believe in God;
Reading a traditional text. Traditional texts of prayers to the Archangels by day of the week were created by the wisest theologians of ancient times. Therefore, it is in these texts that the wisdom and strength of the appeal to the Servants of God lies. After reading the original prayer, you can turn to the Archangel of a specific day of the week with a personal prayer;
Use of religious symbols. When praying to Orthodox saints and Archangels, Christian symbols add additional energetic power to the spoken words and thoughts of the person praying. Therefore, during the process of prayer, the Archangels are recommended to surround themselves with church utensils - candles, holy water, Holy Scripture, incense, etc. It is also recommended to pray in front of an iconographic image of the Archangel, purchased in the church closest to the home;
Place for prayer. You can pray to the Supreme Angels on any day of the week both in church and in your own home (provided that the home has been thoroughly cleaned in advance).

Important! In the process of prayer reading, one should show respect for the Archangels of the Lord. By Higher Powers cannot be commanded. You can only pray to them for help. You need to read prayers to the Archangels in a clear but quiet voice, praising them and the Lord. All prayers to the Archangels are offered in the morning hours, preferably at dawn.
