The fact of God's help from Sergius 12.04.2024

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 thought of Fr. Vladimir, then for some reason of the leader of Russia, and then of someone close to me… In short, I submitted the name and forgot about it. The first Saturday after that, I did not pray. But the following Saturday, I got up and prayed—even though I still didn’t know exactly for whom. A few days later, I "randomly" came across news online about the leaders of Russia visiting Diveevo. If I’m not mistaken, this visit took place on Tuesday—the very day of the communal prayer to St. Seraphim of Sarov—and then I realized who I had submitted the name for and for whom I had prayed and would continue to pray, God willing. Additionally, in all Akathists and prayers where the words "cities," "country," or "Russia" appear, I replace them with "Holy Great Orthodox Rus’" or "Russian State". I also add villages and monasteries to the prayers for cities—otherwise, we seem to pray only for the cities, while our villages are perishing. Words have power, and if not only I but many others start speaking these words, then perhaps, through our prayers and the intercessions of the Most Holy Theotokos, God will restore our villages and monasteries of the Orthodox Russian Church. The time I pray is 9:00 AM. If anyone wishes to join, you are welcome. Also, does anyone feel called to pray for the leaders of Belarus? Personally, I include all Christian country leaders in my morning prayers. Forgive me for any possible mistakes, as I am writing in haste. Wishing you all goodness, peace, and love! May the Lord save you!
