Material from the site https://site/

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words. His cloak will overshadow you, and you will trust under His wing. His truth will surround you with a weapon, you will not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you. Look before your eyes, and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body. As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot against a stone. Tread on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him; I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.

Psalm 90

From the book of Archpriest Valentin Biryukov (Psalm 90):

In 1977, in Samarkand, I witnessed another case of amazing healing after prayers.

One day a mother brought two daughters to me, one of them suffered from seizures.

Father, perhaps you know how to cure Olya? She was completely tormented by seizures - she was beaten twice a day.
- Is your daughter baptized? - I ask.
- What about - baptized...
- Well, does she wear a cross?
Mom hesitated:
- Father... How can I tell you... Yes, it’s only been two weeks since they put the cross on her.

I shook my head: what kind of Christian is without a cross? It's like a warrior without a weapon. Completely defenseless. I started talking to them. He advised me to confess and take communion, and to read the 90th Psalm - “Alive in the help of the Most High” - 40 times every day.

Three days later this woman came with two daughters - Olya and Galya. They confessed, took communion and began to read Psalm 90 40 times daily, as I advised them (my parents taught me this prayer rule). And - a miracle - only two days later the whole family read the 90th Psalm before Olya stopped having seizures. We got rid of a serious illness without any hospitals. Shocked, my mother came to me and asked how much money was needed “for the work.”

“What are you doing, mommy,” I say, “it wasn’t me who did it, it was the Lord.” You see for yourself: what the doctors could not do, God did as soon as you turned to him with faith and repentance.

Another case of healing is associated with Psalm 90 - from deafness.

An elderly man named Nikolai came to our Ascension Church in Novosibirsk. He began to complain about grief:
- Father, I have trouble hearing for a long time, since the 4th grade of school. And now it has become completely unbearable. In addition, both the liver and stomach hurt.
- Do you keep fasts? - I ask him.
- No, what kind of posts are there! At work, whatever they feed me, that’s what I eat.

And it was the fifth week of Lent.

Nikolai, I tell him, until Easter, eat only Lenten food and read “Alive in the Help of the Most High” 40 times daily.

After Easter, Nikolai comes in tears, and takes his brother Vladimir with him.
- Father, God save you!.. At Easter they sang “Christ is Risen” - but I didn’t hear it. Well, I think the priest said - fast, God will help, but I was deaf and still deaf! As soon as I thought that, it was as if the plugs had popped out of my ears. Immediately, in an instant, I began to hear normally.

This is what fasting means, this is what prayer means. This is what it means to read “Alive in the Help of the Vyshnyago”, without any doubt. We really need pure, repentant prayer - more food and water. If the water in the glass is cloudy, we won’t drink it. So the Lord wants us to pour out not muddy, but pure prayer from our souls, He expects pure repentance from us... And for this we are now given both time and freedom. There would be zeal.

A lot of sick people come to the temple. I give advice to everyone - to confess your sins, take communion and read the 90th Psalm 40 times every day (“Alive in the help of the Most High”). This prayer is very powerful. My grandfather, father and mother taught me to pray this way. We read this prayer at the front - and there were such miracles with God’s help! I advise those who are sick to read this prayer as a memory. This prayer has special power to protect us.

My grandfather Roman Vasilyevich loved to pray. I knew many prayers by heart. He often read prayers over the possessed: Psalm 90, “To the King of Heaven” and others. I believed that holy prayers could help anyone, even the sickest person. Probably, due to his childish pure faith, the Lord gave him such a gift that he knew in advance when the demoniac would be brought to him. They would bring him into the hut, tied hand and foot, and the grandfather would read the prayers, sprinkle him with holy water - and the man who had just been screaming and raving, became calm, and immediately slept for 2 hours after the grandfather’s prayers.

It was grandfather Roman Vasilyevich who taught me how best to read the 90th Psalm - “Alive in the help of the Most High.” 40 times daily, and for sick people, especially those possessed by demons, it is better to read this psalm by heart. I have been convinced many times of the great power of this prayer if prayed with faith and contrition.

Psalm 90 He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words. His cloak will overshadow you, and you will trust under His wing. His truth will surround you with a weapon, you will not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you. Look before your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body. As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot against a stone. Tread on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him; I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.

There are many prayers known in the religious world - all of them are presented in various collections. Thus, Orthodox psalms are contained in the Psalter, as is the living prayer for help.

Admittedly, this prayer is the most powerful and has a protective focus. If you read the text “Alive in the Help of Vyshnyago,” you can easily identify its incredibly powerful protective energy.

There is an interesting fact associated with the prayer “Alive in the help of the Most High.” So, according to legend, during the Great Patriotic War, workers of weaving factories that produced military uniforms sewed the text of the prayer into the belt of their tunics and overcoats. Of course, all this was done of their own free will - there was no indication of that. Considering the anti-religious orientation of that time, “Alive in the Help of Vyshnyago” was sewn in by seamstresses secretly from the management of the enterprise.

It is intended to protect believers from all kinds of misfortunes.

The tradition of sewing a psalm into a belt arose at the very dawn of the formation of Orthodoxy in Rus'. The Church did not approve of the creation of such amulets, since in Christianity only the body cross is allowed to be worn as a talisman. However, today embroidering prayers on clothing is permitted. Even among pagans, the Orthodox prayer “Alive in the help of the Most High” is famous as the best amulet against the evil eye and damage.

Prayer “Alive in Help”

“He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the shelter of the Heavenly God, says to the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver me from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words: His lashes will overshadow you, and you trust under His wing: His truth will surround you with weapons. Don't be afraid of fear of the night, from an arrow flying during the day, from things passing in darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come close to you: behold your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope: You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body: as His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone: you step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. Because I have a catch, I will deliver you, and I will cover you, because you have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will exorcise him, and I will glorify him: I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

What is special about the psalm?

Listening to the 90th Psalm of David is quite difficult, but it is even more difficult to pronounce it, both in Russian and in other languages. It is incredibly difficult to learn this psalm in Church Slavonic, so it is possible to read “Alive in the Help of the Most High” from paper. For a better understanding of the psalm, it is recommended to read its translation, which is publicly available on the Internet.

Many people believe that it is best to use it up to 40 times a day. People who are sick and enslaved by demons should learn the psalm “Alive in the help of the Most High” by heart and pray at least 40 times during the day. The translation of the meaning of Vyshnyago in the Russian version means the Most High. So, the first words of the text are “Living in the help/with the help of the Almighty.”

Psalm 90 received its name in honor of the first words with which it begins. In the Gospels of Luke and Matthew there are quotations from this prayer book. In Western Christianity, such a prayer is read during the evening service. Moreover, in Liturgical years it is customary to return to the psalm on the first Sunday of Great Lent. In the Middle Ages, this prayer accompanied Good Friday. The Eastern Church accompanies the memorial service and funeral service, as well as the service of the sixth hour, with such prayer.

The effectiveness of prayer

“Alive in the help of the Most High” is one of the most powerful Christian prayers. With Divine help, after reading the holy words, it is possible to overcome incredible difficulties, protect yourself from negative influences and recover from diseases of varying severity. There are known cases when this psalm healed people from deafness and blindness, epilepsy, tumors and other serious ailments. By pronouncing the cherished words 40 times daily, you can not be afraid of any troubles or evil intent - neither damage nor the evil eye will affect the believer.

It is impossible to say how many sons and husbands returned from the Great Patriotic War alive and unharmed, thanks to the holy stripes, but the fact remains a fact. The book of prayer should be memorized in early childhood in order to instill the habit of turning to it daily. This text is the strongest of all, its protective properties are unsurpassed.

Constantly wearing these miraculous words can protect a person from death and save him from troubles.

There are known cases when a piece of paper with words kept in a pocket helped to avoid death in a car accident, while other passengers in the vehicle died. The most priceless treasure is human life, so it should be protected with all our might. First of all, children should have prayer - they are just beginning their life journey and strive to overcome all the adversities they encounter. Protection for the little inhabitants of the planet will not hurt.

   He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the destructive plague, He will cover you with His feathers, and you will be safe under His wings; shield and fence - His truth. You will not be afraid of the terrors in the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon.

   A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. For you said: “The Lord is my hope”;

   You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; no evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling; for He will command His angels about you - to guard you in all your ways: they will carry you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone; you will step on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon.

   “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

6 reasons to read the “Living Help” prayer: it applies to all occasions

The experience of Orthodox Christians and Jews suggests that the “Living Help” prayer in Russian and not only helps with:

• being in a dangerous situation. Therefore, the elders recommend reading it more often to rescuers, firefighters, military personnel, racing drivers and everyone else who risks their lives.
  Although in the modern world, even getting behind the wheel and driving around a metropolis is already a considerable risk;
• protracted conflicts in the family or at work. As a rule, prayer persuades both parties to compromise. Quarrels fade away

  “I remember how hard it was for me when I got married and moved to live with my mother-in-law: I put the broom in the wrong place and made tasteless soup. But it was not possible for me and my husband to move to another apartment.

  And so, before Easter, I went to confession, began to complain to the priest about my husband’s mother, and he advised me to read “Living Help” every day, saying, pray, everything will come to its senses soon. I did so.

  And you know, after 2-3 weeks I realized that I stopped flinching every time my mother-in-law entered the kitchen, and then I completely realized how hard it was for her, an old, sick woman, and began to feel sorry. In general, now there is peace and grace in our family.” - Oksana from Stavropol shares on the Orthodox forum;

• ongoing difficulties. The words “Alive in Help” in Russian are what you need if you are trying your best to change your life for the better, but you just can’t get out of a bad period when it seems that everyone and everything is against you. Don’t bang your head against a closed door - rather turn to God;
• for protection against the evil eye and magical influence. If you suspect that someone with whom you communicate may influence your biofield, it’s time to read this prayer;
• protracted illnesses. All bright higher powers will help you restore your health. It goes without saying, not without the participation of doctors;
• with serious financial losses. Of course, just because you say a prayer, a thief or an unscrupulous developer will not return your money, but knowledgeable people say that “Alive in Help” helps, firstly, to humbly accept what happened without hysterics, and secondly, it creates such situations in which you can earn good money again.

Have you decided? Then you need to learn to pray correctly in order to quickly receive help from above.

   This especially applies to those cases when you need to protect yourself from the evil eye or you ask for intercession in a dangerous situation.

3. For greater effect, the words of the “Living Help” prayer in Russian need to be spoken three times, with one-minute pauses between them.
4. After each repetition you need to cross yourself three times. Just do it consciously, and not as if you are brushing off a flock of wild bees.

5 taboos when using the prayer “Alive in Help”

Believers clearly identify 5 things that cannot be done when reading the “Living Help” prayer:

• do not cross yourself at the end of prayer. This is the final and very important touch. This is how you show God your faith and show that you trust in him;
• pray in front of someone, for show.“Alive in Help” is a special Orthodox text; it requires solitude. And what kind of concentration can we talk about if the daughter complains about her younger brother, the husband demands freshly fried cutlets, and the cat asks to be let out to the neighbor Murka?
• read this prayer to those who practice black magic, for example, love spells. Eh-uh, how can I explain it more delicately: you are turning to the wrong higher powers, you have already made your choice!
• use the prayer “Alive in Help”, if you don’t believe in God or the devil, and just want to test its effect. Any skepticism will destroy the healing power of these words;
• read a prayer over a sick person without his knowledge or permission. It’s not for nothing that they say that people are not forced into heaven. It's the same story with health.

Prayer Living for help will protect you from any trouble:

“Living help”: prayer of the paratroopers

So: he said more than once that many military personnel asked their mothers, sisters, wives, and beloved girls to copy the words “Alive in Help” in Russian. Then the leaf was hidden, like the most precious talisman, in the pocket of a military uniform before jumps and combat operations.

“As far as I remember, none of my colleagues who had the text of the prayer with them were seriously injured in the Afghan war,”- said the father.

Coincidence? As they say, we don’t think...

PRAYER LIVE HELP

Psalm 90

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge. My God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver me from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the debris and the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from Your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise look with your eyes, and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body: as His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

He who lives under the roof of the Most High, under the shadow of the Almighty, rests, says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God, in whom I trust!” He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the destructive plague, He will cover you with His feathers, and you will be safe under His wings; shield and fence - His truth. You will not be afraid of the terrors in the night, the arrow that flies by day, the plague that stalks in the darkness, the plague that devastates at noon. A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you: you will only look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked. For you said: “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge; no evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling; for He will command His angels about you - to guard you in all your ways: they will carry you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone; you will step on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon. “Because he loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him, I will satisfy him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.”

Right hand - right.
Asp - poisonous snake
Basilisk - large poisonous snake

This prayer was written by the Israeli king David (XI-X centuries BC) on the occasion of the deliverance of his people from a three-day pestilence.

This psalm is considered especially effective in getting rid of the influence of evil forces and the consequences of their influence in the world around us, from troubles and misfortunes. There is a custom to wear the text of this psalm in your pocket on your chest or on your belt - a special belt with the same text (small folding icons and belts with the text of Psalm 90 are sold in churches).
Read during times of disaster and when enemies attack.

Prayer eases the course of some illnesses.

In a study in an American heart hospital to find out whether prayer was effective, a total of 990 people participated. The prayers were offered by volunteers from the local parish, who simply received notes with the names of the sick and prayed for their speedy recovery without complications.

In this study, the purely psychological aspect of the impact of prayer, when a person knows that someone is praying for him, was excluded. It is believed that this can give him new strength. The patient for whom prayers were said knew nothing about prayers.

An evaluation of the results, carried out using a standard method for cardiac patients, showed that patients for whom we prayed, on average, recovered more successfully than others. Of those 500 who were prayed for, the rate of complications during their stay in the cardiac hospital decreased by an average of 11 percent.

When studying the effect of prayer on patients with leukemia and patients suffering from depression, no beneficial effect was observed. At the same time, a similar study of AIDS patients showed a noticeable beneficial effect of prayer. The research team could not find any rational explanation for what happened.

And there is also a conspiracy. It's called "Living Aid", it's ancient. pagan. He was so widespread that both old and young knew him.
But since many pagan conspiracies were remade by Christians. in prayers, then Christians also have it. In Orthodoxy it is known as Psalm 90 and is called “Alive in Help”

ANCIENT PAGAN CONSPIRACY LIVE HELP:

I (the name of the rivers) living (living) on ​​this earth, under the vault of heaven, under the red sun, the Great Mother, in her palaces, fall to her goodness. I ask for your living help.
Yes, Mother, deliver me: from pain and illness, from the snare of the catcher, from the cry of the caller, from the sly, from the 12 feverish fevers, from nervous tickles, from ulcers and wind-borne pestilence, from the slander of the enemy, from the captivity of sorcerers and witchcraft, from the magic of others and start a human one, from all evil.
With two wings you hug the earth, with your voice you fill the sky.
With your wings, protect me and my relatives, and under your wings I will find a shield and support, thousands of words spelled out for black deeds will fall at my feet, sharp knives and damask swords, red-hot arrows - flying day or night, plagues that walk in the darkness, plagues that devastate morning or evening dawn. May they not come close to me, may they not touch my work, my body, or my soul. I will look into the eyes of the Great Mother and see the reflection of the stars and retribution against my enemy and my family.

Cover me with your feathers, let me drink from your cup of life, and my weapon will be your truth and your love and care of the Great Mother for me (the name of the rivers), my family and all your children.
With your voice, cleanse my mind and soul, dispel the sadness and melancholy in my heart. Illuminate you with your light.
Touch my forehead with your lips, look into my soul with your eyes, pass over my body with your fingers.
For the mother commanded to protect her children in all their ways!
And you will carry me on the wings of the eastern wind, so that I will not stumble over an evil word with my foot, over an envious heart with my soul, I will step on the snake and the crown, I will trample on human pride and anger, and from you, the Great Mother, I will receive protection and forgiveness, and your love.
For the Mother commanded to protect her children in all their ways!
I (name of the rivers) living (living) in the house of my Mother, under her shield, with her sword, under her goodness,
Whoever says a magical, evil word against me and my family will fall under this word; whoever does a magical, evil thing against me and my family will return evil and will not escape from his evil.
For the mother commanded to guard her children in all their ways.
Your spirit, Great Mother, will come with me and my children (my family), give me and my family (my children and my family) the happiness of knowing your love and protection. Show your help, Great Mother.

He goes before almost all the Getting along - healing rituals. it's like a Christian - Our Father. The Lord's Prayer is read before all other prayers. This is how the Living Ones pronounce help before any healing. You can read it on yourself, or you can read it on any person.
You just have to rearrange the words. I (the name of the rivers) living (living) on ​​this earth, under the vault of heaven, under the red sun, the Great Mother, in her palaces, fall to her goodness. I ask for your living help. - this will remain unchanged and then -
Instead - Yes, deliver me, you will say, May she deliver you (name of the rivers). and so on.
the plot was read while looking at the icon of the Mother of God the Unbreakable Wall.

PROTECTIVE PRAYER OF A RUSSIAN PERSON

(Orthodox newspaper (39) 1996)

Such a prayer is Psalm 90. In former times, every Russian person knew this psalm by heart and read it when any danger or threat arose.

Psalm 90
1. Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God.














16. I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.

But people who try to live according to God’s commandments also have no guarantee of God’s protection when faced with danger. For admonition, the Lord may allow dark forces to attack them for sins that they could well have avoided. Such admonition becomes clear to a person, and he straightens his crooked path. And also to allow an attack on those righteous for whom troubles and sorrows are tests for the strengthening and growth of the spirit. These tests are given according to a person’s strength and for his benefit. In each specific case, God's providence is unknown in advance, and it is not given to people to know it. The ways of the Lord are truly mysterious, but loving to mankind.

This prayer helps people to a greater or lesser extent, which depends on the spiritual and moral state of the person calling on God for protection and salvation, on the nature of the danger, understanding and perception of the meaning of the prayer. The text of the prayer indicates these conditions, but they are not understood by everyone without interpretation. For a deeper and broader understanding of the meaning of Psalm 90, we will give its interpretation according to the books of Euthymius Zigaben “Explanatory Psalter” and A. Lopukhin “Explanatory Bible”.
The main idea and essence of Psalm 90: hope in God has irresistible power. St. Theodoret says: this psalm teaches that the power of trust in God is irresistible; for blessed David wrote this psalm as an instruction to people about how many benefits trust in God brings. Anyone who lives by faith and hope in God will find in him a protector who saves him from all the misfortunes and evils of life. This psalm prophetically points to the coming of Christ, Who is the closest protector to man. Let us explain each verse of the psalm.
1. Whoever has the help given by God will be preserved under the protection of God. By God's help we must understand, in the words of St. Afanasia. the law of divine commandments, given by the Lord to people to help them against demons and other misfortunes.
2. Having great firm faith, a person says to the Lord: “my refuge and my defense; my God, only in You do I trust and hope.”
3. God will deliver “from the snare of povcha” - a sudden physical attack on the body or a demonic attack in the form of the unexpected appearance of lust or other sinful passion. It will also deliver “from rebellious speech” - slander that produces rebellion in the soul of the slandered.
4. He will overshadow you with His feathers, and under His wings you will be safe; shield and fence - His truth. That is, the Lord will protect you with the same protective love with which a mother hen takes her children under her wings, where they feel completely safe. This is because “His truth” will be a weapon of protection for you. Since God loves the truth, He will protect the one who is true before Him.
5, 6. You, a person living in the help of God, will not be afraid of the fear that happens at night from demons, or from people (thieves, robbers, house arsonists); You will not be afraid of arrows and shots that strike the body; You will not be afraid of the mental arrows with which demons and passions strike. “Things that pass away in darkness” - fornication, adultery, demons of passion and the like; and the “midday demon” is a demon of laziness and carelessness, corrupting people in their midday rest with the temptations of vile and carnal thoughts.
7. Thousands of arrows will fall on your left and ten thousand arrows on your right, but they will not harm you. The thousand on the left is a direct temptation to sin; ten thousand on the right is an attack by demons to counteract our righteous, godly deeds. This verse has numerous confirmations in biblical history (a striking example is the victory of King Ezekiah in the war with the attacking Assyrians, who had much superior forces), as well as at the present time.
8. With God’s help, you will see with your own eyes the retribution of the wicked who are hostile to you.
9. Therefore there will be such strong protection from God that you have relied on God with all your heart and mind and chosen Him as your refuge.
10. Since you have made God your refuge, then “evil will pass you by,” that is, no temptation (trouble) will strike you. “When the wound approaches your body” - everything bodily will be protected, your house from fire and robbery, and your body from illness.
11. For the Lord will command His angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. God, through Angels, protects those who trust in Him.
12. They will carry you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone. The hands of Angels - the essence of the protective force - will support you during temptations and difficult circumstances, so that your foot does not stumble on a stone. By stone we mean every sin and every obstacle to virtue.
13. Asp and basilisk - genera of poisonous snakes (basilisk is a spectacled snake). A person who has God as a guide in everything is not afraid of poisonous snakes and large predatory animals, they do not bring him harm, which is confirmed by numerous lives of saints. In this verse, by snakes and beasts, the holy fathers also mean victory in general over evil. By asp one can mean slander; basilisk is envy both on the part of someone and one’s own personal envy towards someone; the lion is cruelty and inhumanity. The righteous overcomes such passions and does not receive any harm from them.
14. Since a person trusts in God, therefore He delivers him from all danger. The name of God is known not by the one who knows in general who God is, but by the one who behaves in relation to God in a manner worthy of God, demonstrating this dignity in diligently fulfilling the commandments and will of God.
15. He who trusts in God will call to him in danger, and He will hear, and come to the rescue, and free him, as he helped many martyrs in suffering. And he will not only liberate, but also glorify him in earthly and eternal life. Of course, someone who trusts in God will not ask for anything unworthy, contrary to God’s truth.
16. This verse means that the Lord rewards those who trust in God and strive to live according to His will with eternal life, and can also extend earthly life beyond the natural time of death, which is also a lot of evidence.
Thus, when reciting the prayer “Alive in Help,” God hears everyone and responds as a loving father to help his son or daughter. The help and protection of the Lord is a reward, which is usually greater the more a person has earned it before Him. But God does not act strictly according to the principle: “as much as you are to me, as much as I am to you.” Therefore, the Lord often helps a sinful person who, at the time of conversion, has only great faith and hope in God’s help. Helps in the hope of strengthening faith and love in the future.
But people who try to live according to God’s commandments also have no guarantee of God’s protection when faced with danger. For admonition, the Lord may allow dark forces to attack them for sins that they could well have avoided. Such admonition becomes clear to a person, and he straightens his crooked path. And also to allow an attack on those righteous for whom troubles and sorrows are tests for the strengthening and growth of the spirit. These tests are given according to a person’s strength and for his benefit. In each specific case, God's providence is unknown in advance, and it is not given to people to know it. The ways of the Lord are truly mysterious, but loving to mankind.
