In accordance with Christian canons, prayer helps the believer in any endeavor. A sincere request for help and protection from the Lord or the saints will never go unanswered.

Traveling has always been considered a risky and serious undertaking that requires certain preparation. Not long ago, people gained the opportunity to travel by air, and although the plane is the safest form of transport, it is very difficult to overcome the fear of flying. Prayer for the plane ride will help with this.

Prayer for air travelers

When going on a long journey, it is best to choose a time and visit the temple. After confession and communion, the following prayer should be said before the images:

During the repetition of sacred texts, a person’s faith is strengthened, calmness and confidence in successful outcome trips. You can also pray for loved ones who are facing a long flight, for friends and relatives.

If you were unable to visit the temple, you can say the prayer immediately before boarding the plane or while already in the air. A prayer said in the air will help:

get rid of the fear of disaster;
cope with fear of heights;
strengthen faith in the positive outcome of the journey.

Deep and sincere faith when reading the sacred text will not only calm the mind, but also protect against any troubles during the flight.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker

When setting off on a journey, you should definitely seek help from St. Nicholas, the patron saint of travelers and sailors. Nikolai's biography includes several cases of rescue of sailors in the most hopeless situations. Prayer for the journey by plane to Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered the strongest amulet. Before traveling, you should visit the temple, light a candle in front of the face of St. Nicholas and read the following prayer:

The sacred text can also be pronounced directly in the air, turning to the saint with a request for a safe flight, and after a successful landing, be sure to thank him for his help.

A prayer for traveling by plane to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker can also be said for close and dear people going on a trip. By reading it with sincere faith, you can protect them on difficult air travel.

I bring to your attention Orthodox prayers for the road, intended for the driver of the car.
If you drive a vehicle, you must understand that driving is directly associated with increased danger.
The roads are a mess these days, and avoiding a traffic accident is becoming increasingly difficult.
When going on a long journey or just driving out by car, do not be lazy and read at least several times the special prayers addressed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
And make sure to bless your dashing car as soon as possible.

Prayer for the road to Nikolai Ugodnik

Before you get behind the wheel, say these prayer lines to yourself:

1. Wonderworker Nicholas, protect me from reckless driving. On the road and on the way, at stops and stages, let Guardian angel protects me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. Thy will be done. Amen.

Another prayer, also addressed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, will protect you from meager people on the high road.
Consider it before a responsible route and long distance.

2. I turn to you, Nikolai Ugodnik, and pray for miraculous help. Save me from deep holes and ditches, from accidents and collisions. Turn drunk drivers and overzealous pedestrians away from me. Thy will be done. Amen.

The third prayer for the driver will help him avoid car breakdowns and inspectors stopping him.
It must be said when getting ready to travel and fearing being punished.

3. Nicholas the Wonderworker, Pleasant and Savior. Help me overcome a long distance and don’t bother me with an accidental breakdown. Don't let the inspector stop me, don't let the tire burst, don't let the car get damaged. Protect me from swift persecution and from the lumpy stone. Let it be so. Amen.

Now you know that there are Orthodox prayers that a driver should read before a dangerous road.
And then nothing will happen to you.
Take care of yourself on the roads!

Before a challenging trip, visit Orthodox church and submit a simple note indicating the names of everyone involved in the trip.
Place 3 candles each at the icon of Jesus Christ, the Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
While standing at the sacred image of the Pleasant, say these prayer lines to yourself:

4. Wonderworker Nicholas, protect travelers from evil incidents. Amen.
Cross yourself diligently and leave the Temple.

Additionally, buy 12 more candles for your home and the icons listed above.
Collect some holy water for good.
The ideal option would be for each of the travelers to pray heartily in secluded silence.
Otherwise, pray for yourself and others.

5.Nicholas the Wonderworker, Defender and Savior. Before the long journey, let me turn to you. Traveling by land and water, by car and everywhere, by air and on an airplane, take care of the pilot. Help me not to go astray, protect me from terrible things. We have enough resources to keep the engine from burning out. Let our dashing fellow travelers not cause us any harm. Reject the evil misfortunes that are promised to us on the road. Thy will be done. Amen.

Cross yourself heartily and drink holy water.
Put out the candles. Take away the cinders. You take icons with you on the road.
Be sure to give holy water to the rest of the travel participants to drink.

Prayer for airplane travelers

The morning of every Christian believer begins with prayer to the Almighty. Any work, any undertaking is preceded by a request to God; they call on Him both in joy and in grief.

Without the Will of the Lord, nothing happens in a person’s life, he is not accompanied by luck and happiness, there are no achievements, there is no well-being either in life or on the road.

Therefore, from the lips of every Orthodox Christian, when leaving home, and even more so when setting off on a long journey by air, a prayer should sound before air travel.

Why are prayers read?

Although the plane is considered the safest mode of transport, it is still a little difficult and uncomfortable to feel safe while being at an altitude of several thousand meters from the surface of the earth.

Before a flight, many passengers experience fear of heights, fear of a possible plane crash, and claustrophobia.

The upcoming flight causes stress for many people, so before the departure of the aircraft, a prayer should be constantly heard for those traveling on the plane.

Request before departure

Good day everyone! We will be glad to see you on our video channel on YouTube Video Channel. Subscribe to the channel, watch the video.

Any trip, regardless of the purpose, by car, train, plane, ship is associated with a risk to people’s lives. Orthodox people read a prayer for their well-being before starting any business. A motorist’s prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker helps relieve stress and lift the spirit. After all, the road can become a source of danger.

Why do people pray to the Holy Saint

The most popular Saint to whom people turn in prayer before going on a long trip is St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Very often, in a minibus, in a taxi, or just in a car, you can see the image of St. Nicholas the Pleasant, and even if the driver does not believe in God, he believes that the Holy Pleasant prevents serious accidents.

One driver's brakes failed and last minute he remembered St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and began to ask for help. The car stopped a few meters in front of the obstacle. Drivers are sociable people; they tell stories of miracles of salvation from death at the mention of the Saint.

Despite traffic police rules and fines, the number of accidents on the road is not decreasing. If a serious and careful driver is driving a car, the culprit of the traffic accident may be another dashing driver. Therefore, any vehicle is a source increased danger and is subject to compulsory insurance. It became popular for the new machine to illuminate and place the image of the Saint.

The life of Nicholas the Wonderworker was shrouded in many miracles, and after his death he was elevated to the rank of Saint and close to the Lord. Therefore, asking Saint Nicholas for help is tantamount to turning to God.

How to read a prayer correctly

Preference is given to requests made at the divine temple. You should buy three candles and light them for the three saints Jesus Christ, Nicholas the Pleasant and the Mother of God. Read the text of the motorist's prayer:

“Wonderworker Nicholas, protect me from a reckless ride. On the road and on the way, at stops and stages, may the Guardian Angel protect me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. Thy will be done. Amen"

While reading, you should follow a few simple rules:

Prayer words should be read three times a day home environment in front of the images of the Saints with lit church candles.
It is important not just to read, but also to understand the meaning of the words read.
Prayer words are said alone, so that no one disturbs.
At the end of the request, you should thank the Saint for listening.

Prayer words for travelers

Usually they prepare for a long trip in advance, but there are situations when you need to quickly pack up and leave, and there is no time. It is very good when relatives or close people pray for those who are driving or traveling as a traveler. Such a prayer for those traveling by car to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker has powerful power, because it is a manifestation of the highest faith and love that the Holy Saint was endowed with. Faith must be sincere and real without doubt in the soul and heart.

If a driver prays while driving, then he pronounces the words to himself and does not get baptized. On any trip, it is advisable to take with you an icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker or a strong akathist amulet to St. Nicholas. This is a collection of prayers and all texts must be read in a row. An icon is, first of all, the protection of a person, but not a car.

If there is no text of the prayers, then you can ask for help in any words, you can copy the text of the prayer onto a piece of paper and carry it with you.

The road is always difficult both physically and mentally. If a person is a fellow traveler, he should not distract the driver or interfere with his concentration. The driver's work is always difficult; he must brake and change lanes in time, and the slightest mistake can cost him and his passengers their lives. You should not slander and gossip; this refers to sinfulness.

When facing an unfamiliar road, you should ask for support in an unfamiliar place. To avoid death on the way, sacred ministers recommend reading troparia to Nicholas of Lycia and a prayer for health. The troparion is read at the time of a sudden threat and unforeseen situations with the car, a punctured tire, a noisy radiator, bad weather conditions, fog and ice. Drivers who give way should be thanked for their mercy, aggressive drivers should be allowed ahead and not come into contact with them.

Prayers for the road trip by car to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

For a long time in Rus' it was believed that the road is not just a period of time for a person, but also a test. On a long journey Orthodox people prepared and turned to the sacred minister so that he would give a blessing. Prayers on the road help you find the right mood and blessing.

There are three prayers for the driver. The first is pronounced when he gets behind the wheel:

“Wonderworker Nicholas, protect me from a reckless ride. On the road and on the way, at stops and stages, may my guardian angel protect me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. Thy will be done. Amen".

The second one before a responsible and long journey:

“I turn to you, Nikolai Ugodnik, and pray for miraculous help. Save me from deep holes and ditches, from accidents and collisions. Turn drunk drivers and overzealous pedestrians away from me. Thy will be done. Amen".

Third, to avoid breakdowns and traffic police officers:

“Nicholas the Wonderworker, Pleasant and Savior. Help me overcome a long distance and don’t bother me with an accidental breakdown. Don't let the inspector stop me, don't let the tire burst, don't let the car get damaged. Protect me from swift persecution and from the lumpy stone. Let it be so. Amen".

Prayer for the car driver, 3 prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

I bring to your attention Orthodox prayers for the road, intended for the driver of the car.

If you drive a vehicle, you must understand that driving is directly associated with increased danger.

The roads are a mess these days, and avoiding a traffic accident is becoming increasingly difficult.

When going on a long journey or just driving out by car, do not be lazy and read at least several times the special prayers addressed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

And make sure to bless your dashing car as soon as possible.

Prayer for the road to Nikolai Ugodnik

Before you get behind the wheel, say these prayer lines to yourself:

Wonderworker Nicholas, protect me from a reckless ride. On the road and on the way, at stops and stages, may my guardian angel protect me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. Thy will be done. Amen.

Another prayer, also addressed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, will protect you from meager people on the high road.

Consider it before a responsible route and long distance.

I turn to you, Nikolai Ugodnik, and pray for miraculous help. Save me from deep holes and ditches, from accidents and collisions. Turn drunk drivers and overzealous pedestrians away from me. Thy will be done. Amen.

The third prayer for the driver will help him avoid car breakdowns and inspectors stopping him.

It must be said when getting ready to travel and fearing being punished.

Nicholas the Wonderworker, Pleasant and Savior. Help me overcome a long distance and don’t bother me with an accidental breakdown. Don't let the inspector stop me, don't let the tire burst, don't let the car get damaged. Protect me from swift persecution and from the lumpy stone. Let it be so. Amen.

Now you know that there are Orthodox prayers that a driver should read before a dangerous road.

Prayer to Saint Nicholas the Pleasant on the road

Every trip, regardless of the means of transportation, is associated, in addition to pleasant impressions, with risks and worries along the way about its successful completion. Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for travelers helps Christians overcome fears and protects travelers on the road.

Unfortunately, a method of teleportation has not yet been invented - moving to Right place by the power of thought. So a person constantly has to face difficulties on the road. The least trouble is a minor breakdown of the vehicle in which he travels. And even then, it is the smallest if the wanderer does not fly on an airplane or sail on a ship in the middle of the endless ocean.

Rapidly increasing driving speeds have significantly increased the risk of accidents for road users. Daily reports are terrifying with the number of fatal accidents. Plane crashes and incidents involving passenger trains are common. Danger is always where you don't expect it.

Even taking all precautions, a traveler cannot be protected from sudden problems while traveling.

But with prayer on the way to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the heart calms down and anxiety for one’s life and the life of loved ones subsides.

Nicholas, who once saved sailors from death among the raging elements of the sea, rightfully became the protector of sailors and travelers. St. Nicholas is especially revered by drivers - taxi drivers, truck drivers, racers - whose work involves constant travel, most of whose life is dedicated to the road. Every avid motorist always has a small icon with the image of the Saint attached to his car in a visible place.

Rules for offering prayer to the Wonderworker

Of course, it is always better to read prayers in church in front of the images, after going to confession and receiving communion. This can be done in advance before setting off on a long journey. It is also possible to perform the prayer sacrament at home: in front of the image of the Saint with lit wax candles, read the text of the prayer for travelers three times and christen yourself with a sign.

A relative or spiritually close person can pray for travelers; you can ask your confessor to turn to the Saint in prayer.

It won’t hurt to take St. Nicholas’ akathist on a long unknown journey - a small collection of prayer stories that will come in handy in a difficult, unpredictable situation. As soon as a complication appears, take the akathist and read all the texts in a row.

But if fate found you on the road, and only a small icon of Nicholas is at hand, or maybe even that one is not there - what then? Don’t worry, it’s worth calling on the Miracle Worker for help in this situation too. The main thing is that your faith is real, sincere and strong. You may not even know the text of the prayer by heart (although Orthodox Christians who observe church canons are required to know them) and may not have a written prayer with you.

Pray from the heart in your own words, ask for help from Nicholas, from the Almighty, from Mother Theotokos. Read the “Our Father” many times in addition to the prayer to St. Nicholas. Help from above will certainly come, no matter where you are.

Types of prayers for travelers

The number of dangers that lie in wait for one’s travels has given rise to prayers with different semantic meanings. They all rise to Saint Nicholas, but contain different goals.

In order not to get lost on the upcoming path, especially if you are traveling to an unfamiliar area, where, perhaps, even mobile communications no, before the road, read the Prayer to the Wonderworker for well-being on the road.

If prayer is needed to protect yourself from sudden death, you should read the troparion to Nicholas of Lycia and the prayer to the Wonderworker for health.

The troparion to the patron saint of travelers is read at the moment of threat, when road complications suddenly arise: gasoline runs out, a tire is punctured, the radiator “boils,” the weather worsens.

You have a unique opportunity to write an online letter-note to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with your request.

There are sacred texts addressed to the Lord and the Mother of God: prayers before setting off on sea or air travel, prayer before leaving the house, the driver’s prayer, etc. All of them can be recited on the icon of the Saint, because the servants of the Lord are assigned to the Almighty to convey to him the prayers of those asking .

Prayers to Nicholas the Wonderworker

Saint in historical churches, Archbishop of Myra in Lycia. In Christianity he is revered as a miracle worker and considered the patron saint of sailors, merchants and children.

Prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the road: comments

Comments - 12,

Recently I traveled with friends to another country (we spent holidays together) and decided to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker on the way. I even recommended it to friends and went to church together. Suddenly on the road we have a misfortune - the engine breaks down! The situation was hopeless, but the prayers were not in vain - a passing auto mechanic helped us. Our families are still amazed at this miracle.

Holy Wonderworker Nicholas, help us on the road today, protect us from an accident, so that we are not detained at checkpoints, so that we have a successful trip, thank you, Nicholas the Wonderworker, may the angel protect us

In the time of our grandmothers or great-grandmothers, each person had his own spiritual mentor who taught Right way. Before any decision, a believer went to his mentor for his advice, including before setting off on a journey. The spiritual mentor blessed the man for bon voyage, now the man was calm and confident that they would pray for and protect his soul. Prayer for the road, it is this prayer that your spiritual mentor reads, thereby protecting you from everything bad that can happen to you. And in past years, people took this very seriously and responsibly, and the connection between the mentor and the believer was very strong and strong.

But in our fast, modern world there is, unfortunately, a very small percentage of people who have a spiritual mentor, not to mention the fact that someone will bless him and pray for his soul when he goes on a long journey. Maybe the reason is that people in the modern world travel around the world without problems, and without even thinking that something could happen to them, since the transport industry is now very well developed. Today a person is in Europe, and tomorrow in America, no, not one place where a person could not get. But people from the last century did not travel around the world like we did.

Prayer is the communication of the human soul with the highest creator of the world. And all the same, no matter how modern we are, it is necessary to devote a little time to prayer.

Especially if you are going to travel, you need to prepare not only financially, but also spiritually. It is not necessary to have a spiritual mentor; you can read a prayer for the road yourself, the main thing is to believe in what you say. Ask God to protect and protect you along the way. And it doesn’t matter where you are going, and what you will do on your journey, and the main thing is that prayer will always be with you on the way. The best prayer, which is intended for a long journey, is a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, because it is Nicholas who is considered the patron saint of all wanderers.

There is one prayer that applies to all saints, the main thing is to substitute the desired name:

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

A few prayers that you need to at least write down and read before going out, and they will additionally protect you from all evil.

Your work is directly related to a car, or with constant travel by car over long distances, you need to choose a prayer that will become near and dear to you. The prayer on the road by car should be with you and every time before leaving you should say it to yourself.

The very first prayer should be addressed to your car:

“There is an island on the sea, on the ocean. There is a damp oak tree on the island. In that iron oak there is an iron man. That iron man cannot be given a drink, he cannot be fed anything, he cannot be broken in two, he cannot be cut into three. He doesn’t beat, doesn’t crumple, doesn’t prick, the Mother of God prays for him, grieves for him, suffers, and reads the security certificate for him. Honor, Mother of God, also about me, God's servant (name). In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, forever and forever. Amen".

Prayer “For preservation and help along the way”

“God, the All-Good and All-Merciful, protect everyone with Your mercy and love for mankind, I humbly pray to You, through the intercession of the Mother of God and all the saints, save me, a sinner, and the people entrusted to me from sudden death and all misfortunes, and help us to deliver unharmed to each one according to his needs. Dear God! Deliver me from evil spirit recklessness, evil spirits drunkenness causing misfortune and sudden death without repentance. Save me, Lord, with clear conscience live to see old age without the burden of people killed and maimed due to my negligence, and may he be glorified your name holy, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen".

Flying on an airplane is no different from flying a car, it's just a different type of transportation. Prayer for traveling by plane will calm you both psychologically, if you are afraid of flying, and spiritually. There is a special prayer for people going on air travel, which must be read before the flight.

“Lord Jesus Christ, our God, command the elements and contain the whole handful, whose deeps tremble and whose stars are present. All creation serves You, all listen to You, all obey You. You can do everything: for this sake, you are all merciful, Most Blessed Lord.

So even now, Master, accepting the warm prayers of these Thy servants (their names), bless their path and the air procession, forbidding storms and contrary winds, and keeping the air boat safe and sound. Giving them a saving and calm passage through the air and the good intention of those who accomplished it, they will return joyfully in health and in peace.

For You are the Savior and Deliverer and the Giver of all good things, heavenly and earthly, and we send glory to You with Your Beginning Father and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen".

Any woman, whether she is a boss or a housewife, her main concern is family and home. And the first child that God gives to a woman is her husband. After all, literally all the husband’s health, work, rest and much more depend on the wife. A husband and wife are two dear people who feel each other while being at a great distance. A wife’s prayer to her husband can only be compared with a mother’s prayer to her child. A woman by nature is inclined to create panic, worry, if her husband does not answer the phone, the woman is ready to raise everyone's ears. Therefore, praying for your husband’s journey will help save him not only from troubles, but also directly gain peace and confidence that everything will be fine with your husband, since he is under God’s protection. Dear women, read a prayer for your husbands every morning for the journey.

“My all-merciful Lady, Most Holy Lady, All-Pure Virgin, Mother of God Mary, Mother of God, My Undoubted and Only Hope. Do not disdain me, do not reject me, do not leave me, do not retreat from me! Intercede, ask, hear, see, Lady, help, forgive, forgive, Most Pure One! Amen. Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen".

The most precious and precious thing in the life of any mother is her children. And it doesn’t matter daughter or son. A mother's desire is always that her children are always happy and healthy. After all, for God we are also his children, and he prays and suffers for us, so that you and I can live in peace and goodness.

A prayer for the son’s journey will keep him safe and sound, since the mother’s faith is very strong and true, it cannot be bought.

“Dear Lord God, I come to You in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ, and I ask You for my son (name). Heal his wounds, anoint him with Your precious oil, and give Your Divine peace and Your love in the heart of my son (name), so that his heart does not harden, keep him in your hand and lead him along the roads of life, teaching and instructing how to behave in life. difficult situations, give Your Divine wisdom and fill your heart with love for the perishing world, protect it from every destructive ulcer, anoint it with Your precious blood. I believe with all my heart that You are always there and help you overcome difficulties. Thank you, Father, for Your love and mercy. Amen".

No matter where you or your loved ones are going, remember that you need to behave on the road the same way as in life. Believers believe that the life of any person is a long road along which it is necessary to walk with dignity.

Be correct, but at the same time you don’t need to teach someone or impose your point of view; you shouldn’t chat in vain on the way either. And always have a St. Nicholas icon with you. In this article I talked about some prayers that you don’t need to know by heart, but at least write them down and keep them with you.

When you get behind the wheel, board a plane, or your loved ones are on the road. Read them a prayer for the journey, and send God’s protection to them.
