The human path is long and unpredictable. Fate destined a person for many joyful and happy moments, but he also has to overcome a great many obstacles. Some people don’t complain and cope, but others give up, give up and lose the meaning of life. And salvation and help, oddly enough, are always nearby, but not everyone can understand this.
The Lord loves his children and always helps sincere believers.
Prayers for help to the Heavenly Father are retold by saints who have proven their righteousness and purity of soul during their lifetime. Such was Saint Nicholas, to whom millions of Orthodox believers offer prayers asking him to change his fate.
Saint Nicholas - the choice of those asking for help
The life path of Nicholas from Lycia occurred in the 3rd century AD. Almost from birth, Nikola was a believer. He found the meaning of life in serving the Almighty, so he became a clergyman, and later was elected archbishop.
During his lifetime, Nicholas the Wonderworker helped the needy and sick; on Christmas Eve he secretly placed food under the doors of houses where the poor lived.
Once he pacified a storm raging at sea and saved sailors from terrible death.
For this reason, all sailors and travelers consider the Holy Pleasant their patron.
After the death of Nicholas, the people did not cease to sincerely believe in his help and ability to create a miracle. The Saint revealed many magical deeds to Orthodox believers: lost things were found, death was avoided, those suffering from loneliness found family happiness, the unemployed found a job they liked...
Pilgrims from all over the world come to the place where the remains of St. Nicholas the Pleasant are buried. People are sure that prayer that changes fate will help overcome any difficulties.
How to read a prayer that changes fate: rules
Prayer is a sacrament, a personal conversation between a person and a saint, so you should not share with anyone about your plans: to ask Nicholas for intercession.
Prayer to Saint Nicholas requires preparation, like any other. Must visit Orthodox Church, take communion, observe a strict weekly fast, and do not forget about confession.
You should read the prayer in a deserted place so that no one can disturb you. You can pray at home in front of the icon. If possible, light a lamp in front of the icon of St. Nicholas the Pleasant. You can read the prayer without an icon, but for a strong and quick result it would be better to purchase an icon.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker “For a change in fate”
“Oh, all-holy Nicholas, the greatest servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper! Help me, a sinner and a sad person, in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, throughout my life, in deed, in word,
thoughts and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me, the accursed one, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment, so that I may always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."
The main thing is faith, sincerity and good intentions.
When calling on God's saint for help, read the prayer repeatedly, preferably for forty days. If you miss a prayer on any day, it is recommended to start over. On prayer days you should completely renounce smoking and alcohol. Prayer is not fasting, but it also requires a certain severity.
The prayer is said three times. First out loud, then in a low voice, and finally mentally. In Orthodoxy it is believed that the greatest power is in mental utterance. It is not necessary to learn the text by heart; you can read it from sight.
The mood of the person praying also plays a significant role. His thoughts must be pure, a person must be ready to change internally.
When you perform a prayer that changes your fate in front of the icon of the Pleasant, you should not hide the image every time after completing the reading: it should remain here all the days while you pray.
What does prayer to the Holy Saint give?
Orthodox prayers are truly capable of changing the fate of a believer, primarily in terms of spirituality. By sincerely believing, thanks to prayers, you can become closer to the Lord God.
And sincere requests will certainly be heard by the Lord - he is merciful to his children, therefore he will certainly fulfill what the believer asks him for, sending a person the opportunity to realize his dreams. And whether he will use them is up to him to decide.
Prayer for changes in fate helps to overcome various stressful situations, gain strength to overcome difficulties, feel support from above.

Many of you probably want to change your life, as well as the lives of your loved ones, for the better. Don't know how to do this? As you know, there are things that we cannot change; we need help from above. This article is dedicated to Saint Nicholas (Myra) the Wonderworker, beloved by believers.
This saint of God became famous among not only Orthodox Christians, but also Catholics. Therefore, he is revered in many countries around the world. Christians can read a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker with deep faith for 40 days or more, depending on the circumstances. Let's take a closer look at when and for how long you can offer your petitions to the saint of God, whether you need to prepare and how to behave during prayer.
Brief information about St. Nicholas
Saint Nicholas lived in the city of Myra in the 3rd century AD. He was a very pious and pious man. In adulthood, the Lord called him to serve the people and also perform miracles. It was precisely due to the fact that many healings were witnessed, troubles were prevented, innocent people were freed through the prayers of the saint to the Lord, people during his lifetime and at all times turned to him for help.
We can briefly cite three events that are mentioned in the life of the saint: the release of prisoners from prison, salvation from drowning at sea, and the marriage of three daughters of a poor man.
That is why in Orthodox tradition It is customary to pray to St. Nicholas for a safe journey, marriage, and in case of any dangers.
How to pray
It is customary to pray in secret outside the church or in the temple, but not during divine services (with the exception of the prayer service and akathist to St. Nicholas). You need to have before you a canonical text that clearly reflects what should be asked of God and His saints. You should read the words very carefully, delve into their meaning, and make them your prayer.
Only after reading it can you formulate personal requests as your heart dictates. But at the same time, it is important to understand that everything is the will of the Lord. And the saint, through his intercession before God, will certainly arrange everything in a way that will be better not only for the one praying. A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker, read for 40 days, can be perceived each time more tangible by the human heart, it can teach you to live exactly as you need to.
How to understand prayers
Read the first line invoking the name of the saint. It says that he is a “first aider.” It is advisable to pronounce these words with deep faith that he will soon help you too. Next, we realize our sinfulness, and also repent in despondency. We must know that the Lord punishes us for our ungodly deeds and bad thoughts. For life to change for the better, we must change. The prayer ends with us asking for mercy from God so that after death a heavenly life will be given.
How to prepare
Preparation is very important when praying for a long time. You should approach the priest in the church (preferably after confession), explain to him the whole situation and ask for a blessing on prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Whether to read for 40 days or not, you also need to find out from the priest. But usually experienced and pious church ministers do not give clear recommendations on the number of days. As long as you need, you will pray for as long as you need.
After the blessing, you need to purchase a book of prayers behind a candle box or in an Orthodox bookstore if you don’t have the canonical text at home. You should read standing or on your knees, turning your face to the icon. If there is no image of the saint, then you can pray without it, the main thing is to understand to whom we are addressing.
Is it true that you need to read strictly for 40 days?
You can often hear from unchurched people that you need to read a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker strictly for 40 days, no more, no less. But this myth should be dispelled because God does not count time. Exception: reading the Psalter over the deceased for 40 days. But you can and even need to pray all your life, but to whom, how much and how - a person must decide for himself or, what is better, with a confessor (a priest who is chosen by a believer as a spiritual mentor, a guide in pious life and in preparation for eternal life).
Read the prayer as much as the priest advises you, or according to life circumstances. Sometimes people, having received what they asked, give up prayer without thanking either God or the saint. You can't do that. So don't forget about gratitude. But it should not be material, but spiritual - reluctance to return to a sinful life, careful attitude to what the Lord sent.
The miraculous help of St. Nicholas to his contemporaries
You can cite a story that happened in Perm in 2009. Probably, many residents of the city remember the “crazy bus”, whose brakes did not work, but the transport was able to finish its fateful journey right in front of the monument to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Then the event ended without casualties. Even atheists agreed that a miracle had happened.
Not every person who receives what is requested will confirm that the prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is read for 40 days. Reviews make it clear that everyone has their own time frame for fulfilling a request: some prayed for just one second, while others prayed for about five years. What is important here is not the number of days and months, but the presence of deep faith and hope that the Lord and His saints hear and will definitely help.
How the fate of the one praying will change
If a person tries to correct his life, not to sin, as God requires, then everything will change dramatically. Of course, troubles can continue due to God’s permission, but it is very important that the person himself becomes spiritually purer, kinder, and more sincere. A prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker that changes fate (40 days) is just a myth that may not correspond to reality. After all orthodox prayer- this is not a spell or a mantra; here you need to change yourself, and not try to rearrange events.
It is the sincere intention to change for the sake of the Lord, the desire to pray to St. Nicholas as if to a close friend, that will contribute to the number of prayers. Often, changes in people occur unnoticed; only after months and years does a person realize that all wishes have been fulfilled, all prayers have been answered.
When will your request be fulfilled?
As mentioned earlier, a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is read for 40 days or more/less, depending on the situation. It is not recommended to predict exact dates execution of the request (except for events that must occur exactly on time, for example, defending a diploma with “excellent marks”).
Often, those who do not strive to quickly get what they want very quickly come to consolation, since their prayers have already been answered. And those who want to gain something right away have to pray for a very long time.
The Holy Fathers answer the question about the duration of prayer something like this: “Long prayer tests you, so you yourself will understand whether you really need what you are asking for or not.”
What if the request is not fulfilled within 40 days?
Unfortunately, it also happens that a believer knows that what he wants does not necessarily have to happen within forty days. But deep down he hopes for a miracle. Reviews about praying to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for 40 days say that such deadlines cannot always be met. To be more precise, many people lose count and don’t know how long they prayed, since the act of communicating with God and the saints is important to them.
Sometimes they ask how many times a day to read. It should be remembered that prayer is not a pill prescribed by a doctor. You can read as much as your heart desires during the day. But attention to prayer and sincerity are important.
What to do if you missed one or more days
It is worth dispelling another myth associated with prayers to St. Nicholas: if you miss one day, then you need to start counting again. In fact, none of this is true. After all, a person may have different circumstances in life under which he will not be able to devote time to prayer. The Lord, the Most Holy Theotokos and all the heavenly powers do not need our reports on the work done in the form of dates and numbers; what is important for them is that we change, grow stronger in faith, and strive for salvation. After all, this is exactly what is said in the prayer to the beloved saint by many.
You learned that reading a prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for 40 days is not always necessary. But if you have any doubts, we recommend that you contact an experienced priest or bishop. In addition, reading a prayer for more than one month will be impossible for some people for one reason or another. And a spiritually prepared Christian will most likely want to continue further, even after receiving what he asked for. It is only important to remember what the Lord says in the Gospel: “Ask, and it will be given to you” (Gospel of Matthew 7:7).
