Each of our words has secret meaning. When we say a prayer, we always hope for help, and for good reason. Many. Encrypted codes always have an inexplicable effect on the object of the petition. No exception and prayer to find lost item.
Thanks to its faith and special consonance, prayer helps even in the most unexpected cases.
If you have lost something in the house
Many believers believe that the loss of any thing in own home- these are the tricks of the brownie. That’s what the grandmothers say, “he just took it out to play.” The power of prayer helps to drive away evil spirits, and find the missing. There are several ways to return an item:
- You need to take a regular handkerchief and tie it around the leg of a table or chair. And say the phrase: “Brownie, brownie, play. Play. Now give it back!” In a hidden corner, on a closet or on a table, you must definitely put a treat for the owner - cookies or sweets. After some time, the loss will definitely be found.
- The prayer to the martyr John the Warrior has a great effect. If you don’t know the words, you can simply call him by name and ask him to find the missing item.
If you lost something on the street
Having lost something on the street, a person believes that it will no longer be possible to find it. However, the power of prayer can work wonders. Try reading the prayer “Searching for Loss.” Don't forget to read the Lord's Prayer 3 times before each prayer. For your prayer to be heard, it is advisable to remain alone, remove unnecessary noise, and light a candle. After this, read the words of the prayer quietly and with your soul.
There is also a special conspiracy that should be read when returning to the place where the item may have been lost:
“Whoever finds what is mine, let him return it to me.
And if he stole it, he would suffer and suffer,
I didn’t know peace until I gave it back!
It will be as I say. Amen."
Most often, in their prayers, believers call on John the Warrior for help. But no less powerful are the texts addressed to Saints Tryphon and Theodore Tiron. John the Warrior was the protector of all those who were offended, and always tried to help many who were grieving.
People turn to Saint Tryphon mainly to find harmony in the family. Often he helps those who have lost something important.
The Holy Great Martyr Tyrone is famous for his miracles. He is always ready to help true believers and those who sincerely turn to him in prayer. It is he who helps to expose thieves and people who are dishonest. He is the reliable patron of all Christians on earth.
After your things are returned to their place, do not forget to thank the saint you addressed to for fulfilling your request.
A story from life. A middle-aged woman, a teacher at an institute, lost her passport in own apartment. She looked through all the corners, What could she do? Tie a red thread around the table legs and ask the brownie for help. The passport was found in kitchen drawer with cutlery. The brownie was thanked with a piece of cheesecake and a saucer of milk. Turn to an unclean spirit for help, essentially. Only Russian people are capable of such savagery, probably. No, to ask God for help or from Spyridon of Trimifuntsky. Turn to Nicholas the Wonderworker, or to any saint. But not to the brownie, really.
Let's, in order to avoid such requests, let's talk about prayer when losing something. How to ask and from whom? And how can you thank your assistant later? Let's find out now.
Lost - no problem?
A wonderful book about the Optina New Martyrs tells an interesting story. A Christian woman's car was stolen. The police honestly warned that the brand is one of the most stolen. And it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to find the car. Most likely, it is already being dismantled for parts in some garage. This was in the early 90s.
But the woman only grinned at the policeman’s words. What do you think she did? Did you run to tie the table legs and ask the brownie for help? Not at all. As mentioned above, the woman was a believer. She began to read the Creed and the 50th Psalm.
The car was found the next day. In some strange yard, but almost without damage.
What prayers should you read when you lose something? Psalm 50, Creed, pray to John the Warrior. In general, you can pray to any saint you are used to. This could be Matrona of Moscow, Ksenia of Petersburg, Spiridon of Trimifuntsky. In general, everything depends on the desires of the person praying.
If you find someone else's
We figured out what prayer to read when things are lost or missing. The next subsection provides guidelines on how to read correctly.
Let's talk about what an honest person should do if he discovers someone else's property. I'm sure I've had to deal with this more than once. Either an ownerless phone is lying on the road, or you can find money, or a wallet or purse.
Appropriating what you find is not the best best deed. In the case of money found on the street, it will not be possible to find the owner, which is understandable. Once you take this amount to the temple, the Lord knows better what to do next.
If you find a wallet, then submit an announcement about the find. And give it to the owner. Finding it is easy: whoever describes the wallet exactly is the owner. The owner is not there? Take the item to the police.
How to pray?
A prayer to find a lost item is given below. And not just one, but several. Loss is not the most pleasant thing. Especially if we're talking about about an expensive or valuable thing. Panic is not far off in this case. But it is not customary for Christians to panic and become hysterical. They get up to pray. How do we pray? What is the most important thing in prayer? Faith in the help of the Lord. What is the point of prayer without faith? None. Therefore, first comes faith, then comes prayer.
Let's give a few useful tips on how to pray correctly:
Prayer when you lose something should be with faith. Just like any other. Is it possible to stand in front of your home iconostasis and sincerely pray? Great, do so.
If it is not possible to pray at home, then pray “to yourself.” Read a prayer and ask God for help.
Are you on the road or on the road, have you come across a temple? Come in, light a candle to the Lord and ask for help. Even if it seems that they are dressed inappropriately. Many temples provide scarves and skirts for women. You just have to ask for a candle box, they will give it - they won’t refuse.
What prayers should I read?
Symbol of faith:
I believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. She was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the life-giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father, who is worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son, who spoke the prophets. Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.
O great martyr of Christ John, champion of the Orthodox, chaser of enemies and intercessor of the offended! Hear us, in troubles and sorrows, praying to you, as if grace from God was given to you quickly to console the sad, to help the weak, to deliver the innocent from vain death, and to pray for all those who suffer evil. Be therefore a strong champion for us against all our visible and invisible enemies, for with your help and fight all those who show us evil will be put to shame. Pray to our Lord to grant us, His sinful and unworthy servants (names), to receive from Him the ineffable good that is prepared for those who love Him, in the Trinity of the Holy Ones, glorifying God, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Fiftieth Psalm:
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your great mercy, and according to the multitude of your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against you and done evil before you; so that you may be justified in all your words and be victorious, never judge you. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you loved the truth, you showed me your unknown and secret wisdom. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from your presence and do not take your holy spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of your salvation and strengthen me with this joy. I will teach the wicked your way, and wickedness will turn to you. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; my tongue will rejoice in your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare your praise. As if you had wanted sacrifices, you would have given them; You do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built; then be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will lay the bullocks on your altar.
If it’s clear with the “Creed” and the Fiftieth Psalm, why read - goes straight an appeal to God, then what does the prayer to John the Warrior have to do with it. We will talk about it in the next subsection.
Saint John - warrior
The prayer to John the Warrior about the loss of a thing should be read without hesitation. Just like a prayer to any other saint. The saints intercede for us before God and help us. You can resort to them in any situation, asking for help and intercession.
We digress, let's return to John the warrior. What is this saint famous for? With his life and helping those whom he had to kill. What is it like to be a saint and kill? Incompatible concepts. Before John became a saint, he was a soldier in the imperial army of Julian. Julian the Apostate was an ardent opponent of Christianity and mercilessly persecuted its representatives. John the warrior was supposed to kill Christians, but he helped them. Acting under the guise of a persecutor, Saint John the Warrior warned the servants of Christ about the danger. Helped them escape from their pursuers.
The saint helped not only Christians, but also everyone who needed help. He consoled the offended and mourning, visited the sick and prisoners.
When Julian learned about the actions of his subordinate, he imprisoned the saint. But Julian was not destined to live a long life; he died. After his death, John the Warrior was released and devoted himself to serving people. He lived his life in piety and modesty. He died as an old man.
All the grieving and offended pray to John the Warrior. He is considered their patron.
The prayer for the loss of a thing to John the Warrior was given, we recall, above.
Is it possible to pray to the Mother of God?
You can pray to the Lord, His Mother and the saints. There is no specific saint who helps to find a lost item. The main thing here is faith. When we resort with faith to the Mother of God, will She really refuse help just because she is “not involved” in searching for missing things? Of course not. How to pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary? What prayer should you recite to Her when you lose something? The well-known “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice.” Don't know the words? No problem, the text is below.
Virgin Mary, rejoice! Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you. Blessed are You among women and blessed is the fruit of Your womb. For she gave birth to the Savior, who art our souls.
Here is such a short and easy to remember prayer to the Mother of God.
The item was found - thanked?
The prayer for losing an item was read and the loss was discovered. Did you remember to thank the Lord for your help? Did you pray to the Mother of God or the saints? So, we thank the Virgin Mary, the saint who helped us and the Lord.
How to thank? Ideally, go to the temple and order No in this moment opportunity to visit church, do not be lazy to read the akathist “Glory to God for everything” to the Lord. Akathist to the Mother of God and the saint who so quickly responded to the request for help.
If there is no answer
We pray and ask, but God is in no hurry to help us in our search. And then the bewilderment begins: why?
Perhaps the point is that we do not fully believe in His help. It seems like we are praying and asking, but in the depths of our souls we doubt that God will help.
Don't wait for help at lightning speed. They do not pray according to the principle “we prayed and they immediately gave it to us,” they pray with faith and trust in the will of God. Don't give up prayer, keep asking. Do you read the prayer once? Read three, five or more. The main thing is to believe that God will not abandon those who resort to Him with faith.
Let's summarize
The main purpose of the article is to tell you what prayer to read when you lose something. Let's highlight the main aspects:
If you have lost something, read the “Creed”, the fiftieth psalm, the prayer to John the Warrior and Spyridon of Trimifunt. Ask for help Holy Mother of God, pester a particularly revered saint with a request. Believing in help is the most important thing when we pray.
Found someone else's item or money? Announce your find and take the money to the temple. If no one responds to the posted ad, take the item to the police.
Has God helped you find your lost item? Thank Him. Go to the temple and order a thanksgiving prayer. Read the akathist “Glory to God for everything.” Also thank the Mother of God or the saint you turned to for help.
Conclusion
As we found out from the article, having lost something, they turn to God, the Mother of God and the saints for help. There is no need to follow the example of the woman described at the beginning of the article. She turned to the brownie, although this contradicts Christian knowledge that brownies and others supposedly good spirits, nothing more than evil spirits. Is it possible to ask the unclean for help?
We have a God to whom we must turn in the most different situations. Who, besides Him, will help his sons and daughters?
Even omniscient scientists know the secret of prayer. According to the existing theory, any time-tested prayer works due to the presence in its holy words of a special neurolinguistic code that can influence the mind of the one who hears the prayer and says it.
A person puts himself in a certain mood, completely concentrating on the lost thing and the question of where it might be. As a result, the lost thing is found by itself, if you really believe in its return!
Therefore, thanks to the combination of sounds and faith, prayer for a lost thing helps to miraculously find the lost thing.
However, this is only a pragmatic explanation of what is happening. Believers believe that the hidden thing is the work of demons or other supernatural forces. No wonder, because they say that “the brownie took it to play.” The power of prayer allows you to drive away evil spirits, returning a lost item back if it is really needed.
Prayers for lost things
Prayer for finding a lost item will help anyone who turns to the saint with it. There are a huge number of prayers for the return of lost things. Here are just a few of them, which have been the most common among believers for several centuries:
Prayer “For the return of stolen goods”
“From Julian, the godless king, Saint John the Stratelate was sent to kill Christians, you helped some from your property, while others, convincing you to flee from torment by the infidels, you freed, and for this you suffered many torments and imprisonment in prison from the tormentor. After the death of the wicked king, being
released from prison, you spent the rest of your life in great virtues until your death, adorning yourself with cleanliness, prayer and fasting, giving abundant alms to the poor, visiting the weak and comforting the mourning. Therefore, in all our sorrows, we have you as a helper and in all the troubles that befall us: we have you as a comforter, John the warrior; running to you, we pray to you, be the healer of our passions and the deliverer of our spiritual suffering, because you have received from God power useful for the salvation of all give, John of blessed memory, nourisher of wanderers, liberator of captives, physician of the weak: helper of orphans! Look at us, honoring your sacred joyful memory, intercede for us before the Lord, so that we may be heirs of His kingdom. Hear and do not reject us, and hasten to intercede for us, Stratelate John, who denounces thieves and kidnappers, and the thefts they commit in secret, faithfully praying to you, revealing to you, and bringing people to joy with the return of property. Resentment and injustice are heavy for every person, everyone grieves over the loss of something stolen or missing. Hearken to those who mourn, Saint John: and help them find the stolen property, so that, having found it, they glorify the Lord for His generosity forever. Amen."
Prayer to John the Warrior
“O great martyr of Christ John, champion of the Orthodox, chaser of enemies and intercessor of the offended! Hear us, in troubles and sorrows, praying to you, for grace has been given to you from God to comfort the sad, to help the weak, to deliver the innocent from vain death, and for all those who suffer evil.

Pray to our Lord to grant us, His sinful and unworthy servants (names), to receive from Him the ineffable good that is prepared for those who love Him, in the Trinity of the Holy Ones, glorifying God, always, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages. Amen."
Prayer “To search for loss”
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your compassions, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned against You alone and have committed evil before You, so that you may be justified in
all Your words, and overcome the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit away from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.”
After reading these prayers when you lose things, rest assured that what you lost will be quickly found.
Saints do not sleep
There are a huge number of prayers offered to saints for lost things. But who needs to pray in such a case?
There are known cases when people prayed to Spyridon of Trimythous to find the missing thing. For example, one young man told at a church forum how in 2007 he lost a purse with documents and money in a shopping center. Having offered a prayer to the saint, the next day he learned that the purse was found along with all the things stored in it. No one even stole money!
This is not the only case where holy words helped to search for something missing. One day, a woman lost her daughters’ birth certificates when they needed to go on a long trip. Having offered a prayer to the martyr John the Warrior to urgently find them, she managed to find both documents without thereby disrupting the important trip.
And many believers simply offer prayers directly to the Lord, hoping to quickly find what they need. And God helps them with this.
Communication with the Lord
For prayer to have effect right action, you need to pray correctly. Are you sure that true love for God lives in your heart? Without this bright feeling, any prayer will be insignificant. Do you believe in him so much that you are 100% sure of his help? If not, it’s time to believe, because the spoken words will fade into oblivion, and the desire will not come true.
It doesn't matter who you contact! It is possible to pray, turning to the face of the saint in the Temple of God, or at home, in front of the icon, with a lit candle. A candle allows you to concentrate better, forgetting about any troubles, grievances and other matters. You need to fully concentrate on the desire to find what was lost.
Please note that it is important to choose the right prayer so that the words contained in it fully correspond to what was intended.
It is better to forget about prayer altogether if you cannot believe in the Lord in your heart. Only a sincere believer can count on help from above. Many parents try to instill faith in God in their child from an early age. If you were born into a family that rejects religion, you will need to cultivate Faith. To do this, visit church more often, read the Bible and pray.
After saying any prayer, you will feel how light your soul becomes. And all because by pronouncing holy words, you mentally communicate with God, and your search will be crowned with success.
