Prayer on the road by plane: reliable protection in air travel. Prayer for travelers to Nicholas the Wonderworker

Every believer begins his day with an appeal to the Almighty. Any work, any previous event is preceded by a request for help to God. They cry out to the Lord under any circumstances, including in grief. Life experience shows that without the will of the Lord there will be no luck, no happiness, no achievement, no prosperity on the road, including.

Leaving the house, you should find at least a few minutes to read the prayer on the road. To whom you should call for help in this situation, and what words to pronounce, we will talk in our article.

I deny you, Satan, your pride and service to you, and combine with you, Christ, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

This prayer is read on the road Nicholas the Wonderworker. It is better if there is complete silence in the room in order to fully concentrate on the text. After the end of the prayer, kneel down and cross yourself three times.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker

“O St. Nicholas of Christ! Hear us, sinful servants of God (names), praying to you, and pray for us, unworthy, our Sovereign and Master, be merciful to us, create our God in this life and in the future, may he not repay us according to our deeds, but according to your own will give us goodness. Deliver us, saint of Christ, from the evils that are upon us, and tame the waves, passions and troubles that rise upon us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers we will not be attacked and we will not be mired in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions. Moth, Saint Nicholas, Christ our God, give us a peaceful life and the remission of sins, but salvation and great mercy to our souls, now and forever, and forever and ever.

If you are a driver and are going on a long journey, then the driver’s prayer will come in handy. Be sure to read these words to Nicholas the Wonderworker before each trip. It is to him that those who go on a trip most often turn for help.

Read these lines, pondering each word. In no case do not rush and do not say a prayer on the road in a hurry.

Short treatment

These words are also intended for Nicholas the Wonderworker. The prayer is short and concise. This will allow you to remember it faster and pronounce it at every opportunity.

“Pray to God for me, holy servant of God (Nicholas - in our case), as I diligently resort to you, a quick helper and prayer book for my soul”

In addition to prayers for the road, the driver should take with him the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. This will protect you from troubles, failures and accidents.

Petition to Jesus Christ before the trip

“Lord Jesus Christ our God, on the true and living path, travel your imaginary father Joseph and the Most Pure Virgin Mother to Egypt, and Luce and Cleopas traveled to Emmaus! And now we humbly pray to Thee, O Most Holy Master, and by Thy servant (name) travel by Thy grace. And, as if to Your servant Tobias, the guardian angel and mentor, send, preserving and delivering them from every evil situation of visible and invisible enemies, and instructing them to fulfill Your commandments, peacefully and safely, and healthyly transmitting them, and returning them whole and serenely; and give them all your good intention to your pleasing, safely fulfill it for your glory. Yours is more than to have mercy and save us, and we send glory to You with Your Father without beginning and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen"

These words are read thoughtfully and clearly. Just "drumming" the memorized text will not bring desired result. It would be useful if the prayers on the road are manually copied by a close and beloved person (daughter, wife, son, mother). If it is quite difficult to memorize the text, then get yourself a prayer book in the temple. If this was not at hand, it’s not scary, you can turn to God in your own words. The main thing is that it be sincere.

The words of the proposed prayer help those traveling by train, plane, car, etc.

Appeal to the Holy Mother of God

“O my Most Holy Lady, the Virgin Mother of God, Hodegetria, patroness and hope of my salvation! Behold, on the path that is set before me, now I want to leave and for this time I entrust to You, my most merciful Mother, my soul and body, all my clever and material forces, entrusting everything to Your strong looking and Your all-powerful help. O good Companion and Protector of mine! I earnestly pray to Thee that this path will not crawl, guide me on it, and direct it, All-Holy Hodegetria, as if You yourself weigh, to the glory of Your Son, my Lord Jesus Christ, be my helper in everything, especially in this far and on a difficult journey, keep me under Your sovereign protection from all troubles and sorrows that find, from enemies visible and invisible, and pray for me, my Lady, Your Son Christ our God, may His Angel be sent to help me, His peaceful, faithful mentor and guardian, yes as if of old he gave food to his servant Tobias Raphael, in every place and at every time he kept him on the way from all evil: so my way was also safely managed and saved me by heavenly power, healthy, let me return, peacefully and completely to my dwelling to the glory of the name of His Holy One, glorifying and blessing Him all the days of my life and magnifying You now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen"

This prayer for the road is pronounced slowly and clearly three times. The text of the petition can be placed in a conspicuous place in the car. It would be useful to place an icon in front of you Mother of God, Nicholas the Wonderworker and Jesus Christ and each time turn to them for help.

Request before sailing

“Vladyka Lord Jesus Christ, our God, who, together with His holy disciples and apostles, swam, calmed the stormy wind and calmed the waves on the sea with His command! Himself, Lord, accompany us in navigation, calm down every stormy wind and be a Helper and Intercessor, for You are a Good God and loving people and to you we offer praise, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen"

A prayer for those traveling on a long voyage is read just before departure. Before entering the ship, you should cross yourself three times and ask the Lord for blessings (“God bless me”), and then proceed to the text itself. It should be read three times. After each utterance, it is necessary to repeatedly baptize and worship.

Request before departure

By the way, it is very desirable to take a collection of prayers in paper form with you on the road. It will take up very little space, but it will always be at hand when there is no Internet. The Road Prayer Books are best suited for this purpose, in which all the prayers necessary for Christians on their way are printed:

Before starting a journey, no matter if it is by sea, air or water, it is worth visiting the temple and praying, maybe even confessing. Some people, before setting off on a journey, also submit notes to the church shop for the health of their relatives and friends, for the repose of the dead, or ask the priest for blessings for a successful trip.

It is very good if you take on a trip the icon of the saint whose name you bear and, preferably, the holy face of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, who, traveling with you, will protect you from troubles. During air travel

Despite the fact that the plane is considered a very safe mode of transport, many people have a fear of flying on it. And this feeling is quite understandable when you are at an altitude of 10 thousand meters and any emergency situation is deadly danger for everyone on board. However, with God's help no danger threatens you, therefore:

during the flight, remain calm and do not panic, even if you are flying on an airplane for the first time;

if panic attacks still take place - read brief prayer appeals for help or prayers "Our Father";

after the flight, it will not be superfluous to overshadow yourself with the Sign of the Cross and thank the Lord with the words: “Glory to God for everything!” When traveling by car

Many people, and not only believers, experience real stress before a seemingly banal car trip. Although if you look at the news reports on how many people die on the roads every day, the anxiety of many people before a road adventure no longer seems something absurd.

Prayer before driving a car will help protect you from a variety of dangers: drunk drivers, potholes that suddenly appear in front of the bumper, and many others. But of course, you should not rely only on her, because, as you know, “God saves the safe.”

When traveling by car, always fasten your seat belts, do not panic, follow the traffic rules. And of course, never drive drunk. Only in this case you can save life and health!
