Hello, dear fellow prayer warriors! I want to share a testimony of God's help! I have already written several testimonies about the help of Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and Venerable Sergius of Radonezh. My daughter and I have been praying with many Akathists since 2020, including to the Holy Great Martyr Saint Pantaleon. Three years ago, I started experiencing severe stomach pain, which

Hello, dear brothers and sisters. I have been reading proofs for many years, and they strengthen me so much. A few years ago, I was suspected of having tuberculosis. At that time, I prayed several times a day to the Holy Great Martyr Saint Pantaleon. I remember walking to my X-ray appointment feeling very calm, as if I could sense support behind me. In the end, the diagnosis was not confirmed.

Hello, my dear friends. I want to share how I, an unworthy servant, received help. A tumor the size of a chicken egg was discovered. All the symptoms pointed to cancer, and my test results were very bad. I have been praying the Akathist to the Holy Great Martyr Saint Pantaleon for several years for my loved ones. This time, I began praying for myself. Due to stress, I mistakenly prayed the

Hello! I want to share how Saint Nicholas has helped our family many times! He saved us from a car accident—a vehicle sped into our lane at high speed on a sharp turn. Miraculously, it passed just a meter away from us, and at the last moment, the driver swerved in the other direction and crashed into a pole! Our whole lives flashed before our eyes, and we had a small child with us! Glory to God,

We came from Ukraine to France and encountered serious housing difficulties. Nothing seemed to work out. We began praying Akathists to the Most Holy Theotokos, Saint Nicholas, and Saint Spyridon of Trimythous for 40 days straight. A miracle happened: social workers took up our case and found us housing in a good, warm region. They told us we were very lucky because vacancies in that area are

Good afternoon, dear brothers and sisters! Once again, I want to share with you the miracles and help that Saint Nicholas has granted our family. In September of this year, I wrote a testimony about a great miracle that the Lord performed for us through the help and support of the Most Holy Theotokos and Saint Nicholas—we were able to enroll our children in the best private school, even though at

Hello! I want to share my journey to God and the miracles He has shown me! For eight years, my husband and I struggled to conceive a second child. We visited countless doctors, underwent tests and procedures—yet everything appeared normal. I began to wonder why the Lord wasn’t granting us a child. I went through all the emotions—tears, despair, even resentment toward God… Then, one night, I had a

Christ is Risen! Happy Pascha, dear brothers and sisters! We have been praying together with you, dear fellow prayer warriors, for eight years now. And during this time, the Lord has completely transformed our lives and the lives of our loved ones. In the first year of prayer, the number of Akathists reached 13—so many problems, so many sins… And the Lord answered 12 out of 13 of my requests,

Hello! Now it’s my turn to write a gratitude-filled testimony about prayer. For a very long time, my husband and I dreamed of having children, but it just wasn’t happening. I had four pregnancies that, at an early stage, ended on their own… bleeding would start, and that was it. But I kept praying with the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos "Unexpected Joy," reading testimonies from those who

Good afternoon! I want to share my story. I first heard about prayer by agreement from Viktoria Makarskaya. After watching a video by Father Vladimir Golovin, I began praying by agreement to my Guardian Angel for the creation of a family. I started going to church more often and truly believed that God would hear me. I used to read testimonies and hoped that one day, I too would meet my husband.

Hello, everyone! I previously shared a testimony about prayers to Venerable Sergius of Radonezh for successfully passing my Finnish language exam. I have been praying with many Akathists for about four years now, and my mother has also joined the communal prayer, which itself was a miracle. I wouldn’t say I always pray properly—often, I just read—but sometimes, I manage to pray with deep focus.

In 2016, I first saw a video about Father Vladimir. Thanks to his sermons, I understood a lot about my life. I pray with many Akathists—to Archangel Michael, to the Most Holy Theotokos, and others. But for some reason, I just couldn’t bring myself to start praying the Akathist to my Guardian Angel—it felt as if my hands were tied… Yet, I finally gathered my strength and began praying for myself,

In these difficult times, when for three years we’ve been bombarded from every side with talk of death—whether from the virus, war, or the servants of the Antichrist—I was on the verge of a breakdown. I have been living in Germany for three years, but I desperately want to return home and cannot convince my husband to leave. After 16 years, I still don’t feel at home here—just constant apathy,

The tax office froze my bank account due to a debt. I went to sort it out and withdraw the money, as it was my unemployment benefits. Before entering the bank, I prayed to God and decided to especially call upon Archangel Michael, since this was a battle for my funds, and I promised to pray his Akathist if I succeeded. At the bank, I encountered a rude employee who refused to listen, yelled at

Hello. This is far from my first testimony of God’s help, and I am sure it won’t be my last. I have been praying by agreement since 2017. I came from a secular Muslim family ("God is in the soul," etc.) and moved from Moscow to Istanbul in 2016, where I found Christ and was baptized. Everything happened through prayer… But this testimony is not about me. At our Orthodox church, I befriended a

Peace be with you! Christ is in our midst! This is not my first testimony, but it is the most important one for me because it concerns my mother. My mother was a beautiful and very active woman in her youth—a Komsomol member, a party organizer, a brigade leader, a merchandiser with honors. But for more than 33 years, she drank alcohol, smoked since the age of 18, and now, at 59 years old, this

Hello, brothers and sisters! I want to testify to the help I received through prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, "Seeking the Lost." For many years, I suffered from various vices, to the point of despair. At times, I even wanted to die. Though I went to confession frequently, I didn’t truly understand what repentance was. The first time I read the Akathist "Seeking the Lost," I was overwhelmed. I

Brothers and sisters, I decided to share my story of the Lord’s help! I pray by agreement with Akathists to the Mother of God, "Seeking the Lost" and "The Protection," as well as to Saint Nicholas. I pray for my daughter. At 18, she ran away from me, leaving behind her studies and making mistakes in her young life. There she was, in a big city, alone, young, inexperienced, and refusing to listen

Hello! I want to share a testimony of God’s help and the intercession of the Mother of God. I had been a smoker for many years. I once managed to quit for two years, but last year, this passion took hold of me again. In despair, I decided to pray the Akathist to the Mother of God before Her icon "The Inexhaustible chalice" for the first time. Just a few days later, I unexpectedly received an

I thank the Most Holy Theotokos for Her intercession and great mercy! My husband has not drunk or smoked for a month! On January 3rd, he had a mild stroke—it was the mildest form, but it shook him to the core. Now, he can’t drink or smoke at all. Of course, I will never stop praying—I simply don’t know how to live otherwise. He drank every single day for 37 years of our marriage, and even before

Good afternoon! I am grateful to all my fellow prayer warriors! My husband drinks a lot of beer—it may not seem like a big deal, but when it happens almost every day, it becomes frightening. I didn’t know what to do. We constantly argued about his drinking, I cried, begged, even threatened divorce, but nothing helped. I had known about "Spiritual Lighthouse" on YouTube for a long time and

Hello, dear brothers and sisters! I want to share my testimony about prayers to the saints and the help I have received from our Lord. I learned about prayer in agreement in 2019, seemingly by "chance." I was baptized at 30 but did not become truly church-going—I continued to sin foolishly, occasionally stopping by a church to light a candle or attend a service on major feast days. In 2017, on

Lord, save Father Vladimir—he has become like a father to me. I listen to his guidance and also to the entire "Spiritual Lighthouse" team. I have been praying many Akathists for over a year, reading testimonies, rejoicing, and finding inspiration. I want to share a story of divine help. I have been unable to find a steady job for a long time, out of money, and in deep despair, thinking that God

Two years ago, I started praying the Akathist to the Mother of God, "Softening of Evil Hearts," primarily to focus on my own shortcomings. I had a very negative attitude toward people, struggled with jealousy, and at times even hated my boyfriend for constantly testing my patience (we later broke up). I began praying to rid myself of these negative feelings and not let my heart grow hardened.

This is a living testimony of God’s help through prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos with the Akathists "Softening of Evil Hearts" and "Pantanassa." In a small town in southern Italy, there lives a family: spouses Joseph and Lucrezia and their two sons, Matthew and Vito. For 33 years of marriage, Joseph and Lucrezia lived in constant quarrels, sometimes on the verge of divorce. The main reason was

There are no hopeless situations! Hello! Forgive me, Most Holy Theotokos, Pantanassa, for not sharing the testimonies of Your help. My mother has breast cancer, and for a week, she had severe coughing fits and difficulty breathing. A lung CT scan showed what appeared to be lung carcinoma. I broke down in tears, fell to my knees, and sobbed before the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, "Pantanassa,"

Greetings I want to share a testimony of the help of the Most Holy Theotokos for us sinners. This is the second time I am writing! Through the prayers of the Theotokos, my very good friend miraculously survived after suffering from COVID, despite 60% lung damage. It was extremely difficult, and I prayed the Akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos and to the Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon

Good evening to all my fellow prayer companions! I asked St. Spyridon of Trimythous to help sell at least one of our three boats. I thought it would be the smallest one or the second one, which we bought this summer for ourselves (but were also willing to sell if necessary). The third boat was a large, old one (9 meters long). The listing had been up for almost three years, but there wasn’t even

I am writing yet another word of gratitude to one of my most beloved saintly intercessors—St. Spyridon of Trimythous. I will keep it brief but to the point. While living in a foreign country and having one job, I unexpectedly received another one with a much higher salary. I am certain this was through the prayers of St. Spyridon of Trimythous! This job found me on its own, and signing the

Glory to God for everything! Dear brothers and sisters in prayer, I have been reading your testimonies of God’s help for a long time, finding inspiration and rejoicing with you. At the beginning of this year, I "accidentally" heard somewhere that the Akathist to Archangel Michael is prayed for protection against evil forces, so I started praying it. Then I "accidentally" learned about prayer by

Hello, dear prayer companions. I prayed the Akathist to St. John the Baptist, and exactly two years later, I was able to bring my son-in-law to baptism. The baptism went smoothly and quickly, without any difficulties—though I had feared that something might not work out. Glory to God for everything! I thank Bolgar and St. John the Baptist!

Repentance washes the soul like the sacred waters of the Jordan through the prayers of St. John the Baptist. Good afternoon. This is not my first letter of testimony. I have been praying with Bolgar for three years now, using many Akathists. Recently, I began praying the Akathist to St. John the Baptist every Tuesday. To be honest, for quite some time, I have struggled with various fears—almost

Peace be with you, and may God's grace be upon you! I was in a state of deep emotional distress, but by God’s ineffable mercy, I joined the congregational prayer with the Akathist to St. John the Baptist. Just two days later, I felt so much better, and soon, all the heaviness disappeared—God granted me joy and grace! I also faced financial difficulties and joined in prayer with the Akathist to

Greetings, dear brothers and sisters! My mother-in-law and I prayed for my husband the Akathists to St. Sergius of Radonezh, Archangel Michael, and St. Nicholas. He needed to pass a very difficult exam. In total, he had been preparing for it for a year and a half (!). The exam was oral, and they could ask him anything from the entire curriculum of four subjects taught over two years. The grading

Hello, brothers and sisters in Christ. I want to share an instance of the help of St. Sergius of Radonezh. I am late in writing this, but I have started praying to St. Sergius again and remembered that I had promised to testify. I could not have even dreamed of such help when I began praying to St. Sergius for my son! I did not deserve it. My son transferred from school after the 10th grade (in

Hello, dear fellow prayer warriors! I want to share a testimony about God's help and the intercession of all the saints regarding my studies. I prayed many Akathists: "Glory to God for Everything," to St. Nicholas, St. Sergius of Radonezh, St. Spyridon of Trimythous, Archangel Michael, and the Protection of the Mother of God for children. By God's mercy, I received a diploma of higher education.

Hello, I am praying the "Akathist for the Repose of the Departed" for my father. Since December 22, 2019, I have also submitted his name for commemoration at the Unceasing Psalter for a year. On Saturdays, I read the Akathist, and every evening I read the Psalter. During his life, my father went to church, prayed, and received communion. Exactly two months later, he appeared to me in a dream. He

In February 2020, I had a dream about my late grandmother (she passed away in 2013 at the age of 91). In the dream, we were in a large restaurant, and all our relatives were bustling around, setting up an abundant, lavish table full of all kinds of dishes and delicacies—so much so that plates had to be stacked on top of each other... In the dream, I clearly understood that this table was in honor

Greetings to all who are reading my testimony! I want to begin with gratitude! Greetings and a deep bow to Father Vladimir for his sermons! It was from Father Vladimir’s sermons that I learned about the importance of parental blessing! And I began to wonder how I could receive a parental blessing, since my father died when I was 14, and my mother passed away when I was 21. Only my disabled sister

Good people, I want to share my story with you. I first learned about God in elementary school during a class called "Spiritual and Moral Education." When I found out that God existed, my soul rejoiced. However, my faith in Christ was born much later. From birth, I didn’t really like myself. I didn’t accept my body. At 16, I had anorexia, which turned into bulimia. Around the same time, I also

Good day, dear brothers and sisters. I would like to share something with you—not about miracles happening in my life, but about something else. Just because. I am temporarily living in South Korea for work. To say that sectarianism thrives here... is an understatement. Churches are everywhere. But I don’t need to tell you that. Since 2016, I have been praying to many Akathists. Despite all my

Glory to God! Thanks to Him, everything in my life turns out well, all the best happens because of Him! I know this for sure because every time I pray, God helps me, and with God, nothing is impossible! Today at work, an emergency situation arose. My boss suddenly asked about a task I wasn’t ready for because I thought I still had time (there was no deadline), and it wasn’t exactly in my area of

I want to share our miracle of family transformation. My husband and I used to argue every day; we couldn’t hear each other. In my soul, there was despair and confusion about how we were even living together. My husband would often casually throw words at me: “If you want, leave!” It hurt me deeply, but I had no intention of leaving. I got married for life, and I hope it will always be that way,

Hello, dear ones. I almost couldn’t sleep all night and was reading your testimonials, which inspired me to pray again. Although lately, I’ve been feeling a heaviness in my soul and even some resentment toward God. Today, I want to write about the prayer to the Holy Martyrs Gurias, Samonas, and Abibus, which I have been praying for several years. Soon after I started this prayer, several miracles

Hello, my dear ones, I wanted to share my story of help. On September 4, 2020, I began praying the akathist to St. John the Baptist for my entire family. After a few days, my husband came and told me that he no longer loved me, that he was interested in another woman, and that he wanted to move out to figure things out. What I felt in my soul is indescribable! At first, I begged him to stay, then

Hello! When I was about 8 or 9 years old, my eyesight started to deteriorate. It declined gradually, and by the time I reached adulthood, my vision had dropped to -7 (myopia). I absolutely refused to wear glasses because I didn’t want to spend my whole life in them—I didn’t like how I looked in glasses. For many years, I was a "Christian" in words only, praying to God and the saints only when I

Hello, dear brothers and sisters! I want to leave my second testimonial about prayer by agreement! For two months in a row, I had pus on the left side of my tonsil. I didn’t pay much attention to it and kept postponing a visit to the ENT specialist, but in the last two days before the appointment, I started to worry about it. I went to the doctor, and after examining me, he said I needed to have

I want to share a story about the help of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow. When I was a teenager, at the age when girls start their menstrual cycles, mine were extremely irregular. Doctors didn’t know how to treat it; I even spent about a year being treated at the Lode Center, but it was no use. Then, the relics of the Blessed Matrona of Moscow were brought to our city. After standing in line for a

Good day to everyone who prays the Prayer by Agreement! Almost every day, I visit the testimonies section and read them, rejoicing in my heart for those who have had their prayers answered... Glory to God! I wanted to share a bit of my own story... I joined the Prayer by Agreement quite recently, but I already feel miracles starting to happen in my life! At first, I began reading the Akathist to

Hello, Father Vladimir, hello dear prayer companions! I want to share with all of you an instance of God's help. I'll start a bit from afar. I wouldn't call myself religious, but, as they say, I've always lived with faith in my soul. And so, in 2016, my mother fell ill. She became seriously ill—cancer. My mother underwent a 6-hour surgery. As they say, until thunder strikes, a man won't cross

Good day, dear fellow prayer warriors! I am writing yet another testimony about the great power and love of our God, through the intercession of the Mother of God, the saints, and the bodiless angels! I have been praying the Akathist prayer by agreement since April 2017 for myself and my loved ones. I prayed to St. George the Victorious for exactly three years (2018–2020) for my brother, as he

Glory to God! I want to share an instance of help through a one-time prayer to St. Abramius the Bulgar and the Most Holy Theotokos. I wanted to submit my children’s names for the conciliar prayer, but I needed to go to my parents’ place. Then, one after another, the children, and later my husband and I, started getting sick. The children had very high fevers. My son’s temperature rose to 39.5°C

Some time ago, I started praying to St. Abramius the Bulgar. And to be honest, I didn’t always manage to pray every week. But I believe that the ways of the Lord are inscrutable, and no one loves the way the saints and God do. The Holy Martyr Abramius the Bulgar, St. Nicholas, the Most Holy Theotokos, St. Sabbas the Sanctified, my Guardian Angel, and St. John of Shanghai—to whom I pray—helped me

Greetings, dear prayer companions! Through the prayers to the Holy Martyr Abramius the Bulgar, St. Spyridon of Trimythous, and St. Nicholas, the car that we couldn’t sell since August of last year (2022) has finally been sold. I prayed and asked for help—my father was the one selling it. I submitted his name for two Akathists: one to St. Spyridon of Trimythous and one to the Holy Martyr Abramius

Dear prayer companions! I want to share my story about how I received help through prayers to Saint Seraphim of Sarov the very next day after praying. I had been trying to find a job, submitting applications, but there was no response from employers. No one called me with job offers. After praying to the Akathist, the next day I received messages from three companies. It was a miracle for me! I

Good health and salvation to all! I pray with the Akathists to John the Baptist and Saint Nicholas, and I have submitted names. But sometimes, if I have free time, I join the prayer group in Bulgaria and read the Akathist that is scheduled at that time. Once at work, on the feast day of Saint Seraphim of Sarov. I had some time and checked the schedule. It turned out that the Akathist to Saint

Peace be with you, brothers and sisters! I will try to write briefly, as I am in a hurry. A couple of weeks ago, under circumstances I can’t quite recall, the Lord or the Most Holy Virgin Mary placed it on my heart to submit the name (Servant of God Vladimir) for commemoration during prayer to the Theotokos before the Kazan Icon. At first, I didn’t understand who this Vladimir was—I initially

I thank the Lord for His mercy on me, a sinner. I thank the Most Holy Theotokos and Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker for their help! For two weeks, my salary had been delayed, and all my savings had run out. Today, I prayed the Akathist to the Kazan Icon of the Most Holy Theotokos in communal prayer, asking for Her help. I also prayed the Akathists to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker and to Jesus

I joined you in fervent prayer for peace in Russia and Ukraine with the Akathist before the icon of the Kazan Mother of God—not only for peace there but also for peace here in Europe, in Slovakia. Do you think it’s easy here? No! Since February 24, 2022, our government has turned everything against Russia. All these sanctions are not against Russia—they are against us, ordinary people. In
