Oh, the way is the road! How do you sometimes want to go where the eyes look, especially if the budget allows. Traveling is the best way to broaden your horizons and spend time with benefits. But what if before the way you begin to overcome doubts and fears? If due to such a problem, the journey is in jeopardy, it is worth resorting to the help of higher powers.
How to pray to the traveler on the road?
The success of each event begins with a successful start. Vacation is no exception. Going on a trip, do not forget to pray. How to do this, see the instructions below:
- It is better to make a prayer when all things are packed and the suitcase is packed. So you will have more time to focus on the important and not be distracted when praying for the worrying thought that you need to take a ticket, do not forget your passport and throw lotion for tanning in your bag;
- Imagine your destination in detail. In prayer, you can mention the name of the place. Try to see yourself on the way, mentally go through all the stages of the route, spreading it into details. The more clearly you see the result, the easier it is to get rid of the alarm and immerse yourself in the road atmosphere;
- Words of prayer are pronounced thoughtfully and clearly. If you simply pronounce the text without any feeling, it is better not to do it at all. The request will not be heard, because the promise is insincere;
- Ask a loved one (parent, daughter or son, spouse) to rewrite the text of the prayer book manually. It would be useful to do it yourself. So the words will be remembered better, and in case of excitement they fly out of my head, there is always a clue at hand.
If during the prayer you still forget part of the text, refer to the holy in your own words. The main condition is not a literal pronunciation, but a sincere real faith in supreme help and a miracle.
Who can pray for a safe journey?
Irrational fear of the long journey is inherent in many. It is not necessary to be ashamed and ashamed: our brain is designed in such a way that everything new is perceived by them with caution, and this is one of the foundations of the instinct of self-preservation. Another question is, if anxiety interferes with life, personal and professional, then it’s time to take action.
If the situation is neglected, consultation with a psychologist, taking special medications (sedatives, drugs for motion sickness and nausea, etc.) are necessary. But often, a simple prayer is enough to calm panic and tune in to a positive mood before collecting on the road. Prayer for travelers can be read to many saints, but usually requests are made to:
- To god;
- Saint Nicholas;
- Rev. Cyril and Mary;
- 40 to the Sebastian martyrs.
Speaking the religious and mystical texts, you will find balance in the soul and you will more believe that the trip will go well.
Nicholas the Wonderworker
Saint Nicholas is one of the first to pray for a safe journey. His mission as a protector of all travelers has long been famous in the Orthodox world. Nikolai patronizes, first of all, sailors. Known is the case of the miraculous rescue of Nicholas by a young sailor who crashed during a fall from the mast of a ship on which the saint sailed. Wonderworker's hot prayer addressed to the Lord was heard: the sailor was resurrected. This does not mean that only sailors can turn to Nicholas. The overseas wanderers also often ask him to promote such a prayer:
"Oh, all-holy Nicholas, please the most pre-ordained of the Lord, warm our intercessor, and everywhere fast in the sorrowful helper! Help me who is a sinner and sad in this family life, beg the Lord God with the graceful abandonment of all my sins, sinned from my youth, in all my life my deed, word, thought, and all my senses, and at the end of my soul with the help of a cursed one, begged the Lord God, all of the co-workers of the co-worker, save me of air ordeals and eternal torment: May I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession now and ever and ever and ever. Amen! "

Pray to Saint Nicholas, Christ our God, give us peace living and forgiving sins, but to our Souls is salvation and great mercy, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen! "
To the Lord
We are all living people with our fears and prejudices. Therefore, to worry before going on a long journey is quite natural. It is impossible to predict what obstacles you will encounter on the road: flight delay, problems at the border, severe customs control, bad weather ... You can enumerate potential troubles for a long time, but it is enough to get rid of the anxiety associated with them with the help of the One Creator. A prayer to the Lord about traveling is read for any occasion, it is universal and does not have conventions:

The suffering of the Sebastian martyrs is worshiped throughout the Christian world. Roman warriors who took a terrible death in the icy lake of the city of Sebastia, refusing to sacrifice to the pagan gods, is perceived as an example of the highest masculinity, allowing to endure a severe ordeal. Travel, if it is expected to be difficult, is also a kind of test.therefore, the prayer to the forty martyrs is well founded and logical. In Church Slavonic, it sounds like this:

If your career is inextricably linked with constant movements, use short prayers for good luck, protecting you from emergency situations on the road. It does not matter what mode of transport you are traveling, but if you want to make the request more focused, use special prayers for traveling by air, land or water.
The prayer on the road by car is addressed directly to the Lord. He is like no one able to protect the driver from accidents, breakdowns and even fines. However, careful careful driving and respectful attitude towards other road users is a guarantee of success. The universal prayer for those traveling by car in the circulation of a chauffeur sounds like this:

Stay focused behind the wheel. To collect your thoughts and not lose attention, contact Nicholas the Wonderworker. He, as the patron of travelers, reads the prayer on the road by car to the family. Its text does not differ from the above, but it is allowed to insert its names in it and add personal requests if they come from the heart.
For air travel
Civil aviation is considered one of the safest modes of transport, but this does not negate the presence of a huge number of people aerophobia. 55% of women and 45% of men suffer from fear of flying. Some before taking on board the aircraft take a sedative or alcohol. Others sit in suspense until the end of the flight, drenched in cold sweat. Still others abandon the aircraft altogether and move by other means of transport to accessible distances. This is a real problem, and everyone solves it in their own way. But a prayer traveling by plane helps to calm the nerves and relax a little. Pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker or turn to God:
"O Lord Jesus Christ, O our God, command the elements and keep the whole handful, His depths tremble, and to Him the stars are present. All creatures serve You, all listen, all You obey.

Amen! "
For rail trips

The wonderworker will help to find peace in the soul and will make it so that throughout the journey no unwanted extreme occurs.
