An agreed prayer is a prayer said at a specific time by a group of people whose participants may be located in different places. Prayer workers preliminarily agree on a time to pray together. Believers need to know with whom and how to pray correctly, and when to expect results. This type was used by such experienced confessors as St. John of Kronstadt, Fr. John (Krestyankin), Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh. They taught that a prayer by agreement must be read when a person is in distress. Having united, several Orthodox believers make requests for the needy. It is believed that such treatment is more effective.

Features of prayer by agreement
Prayer by agreement differs from individual prayer, since it is based on conciliarity. Its principle is in the Gospel. The Lord Jesus Christ said: “If two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven, for where two or three are gathered in My name, there am I in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:19-20).
Cathedral prayer is performed by several believers gathered in one place. This is a private version of prayer by agreement. The difference is that the latter does not require all worshipers to be in one church at the same time.
People can be at the farthest distance from each other. Turning to God unites them on a spiritual level. For example, on January 14, 2018, a worldwide prayer of thanksgiving was held, at which believers read the akathist “Glory to God for everything.” Residents of 1,500 cities around the world participated.
Praying by agreement has become especially widespread these days. This is due to the development of communications and the growing pace of life. This method does not require the presence of parishioners in the church.
What does it help with?
Prayer by agreement helps in any troubles in life. It needs to be read:
You can ask for finding your calling, finding a good job, strengthening your family and faith. They pray not only for themselves, but also for their loved ones, as well as for non-believers.
If relatives are against a family member praying by agreement, you can turn to God in secret.
Getting started with this strong ritual, you need to be prepared for temptations to begin. Often the initial prayer leads to a worsening of the situation. This is how demons scare people so that those praying will stop reading. You should gain strength and continue.
How to pray
Orthodox churches have their own websites where the necessary information is available. If a prayer is read by agreement, then you can take part in it. The reading schedule and text will be indicated on the church resource.
When and where
You can read the prayer anywhere - on the road, at work, at home or at the dacha. The main thing is to do this at the same time as other believers. The power of such an appeal to God lies precisely in the simultaneous appeal of all those praying.
Prayer for agreement in Yekaterinburg
For example, in the temple of Prince Vladimir, located in the city of Yekaterinburg, prayer is held daily by agreement. You can join the reading through the head of the “Mercy” service, organized there. No financial contributions are required for this.
Parishioners at 9:00 pm every day read the following prayer:
“Lord our God, Jesus Christ, with Your most pure lips You told us: “If two of you agree on earth to ask for anything, then whatever you ask will be done for you from my Father in heaven.” With deep faith in the immutability of Your words and Thy immeasurable mercy we ask You - to hear Your servant (your name) and everyone who has agreed to humbly ask You for the allocation of land for the temple for the construction of a spiritual and educational center, for the strengthening of the parish community of our temple and the choice of its head, as well as for Your servants (names about health) and give them health and help in their needs; rest, O Lord, the souls of Your dead servants (names of repose) and forgive them all sins, voluntary and involuntary, and grant them the kingdom of heaven. We pray to You for the fulfillment of our petitions. However, not how we want, but as You, Lord, let your holy will be done. Amen."
The prayer lists names for health and repose, a list of which is on the website.
How to prepare
Before you begin to pray by agreement, you must take a blessing from the priest. You need to tell the priest that you are going to solve the problem by praying together, three or four times. When the Holy Father blesses you, you need to start.
You can invite any Orthodox Christian to the team. He must be not indifferent to your misfortune. There is no need to persuade - if people turn to God just because it was inconvenient for them to refuse, such a formal approach will not be useful.
Before you begin, you must confess and receive communion. Before starting the prayer, the “Our Father” is read. You should cry out to God with peace in your soul.
How to read a prayer
Anyone can join the prayer by agreement. To do this, you need to familiarize yourself with the schedule. It is indicated in Moscow time.
They pray not in Church Slavonic, but in Russian.
Usually the prayer by agreement sounds like this:
The text may be different. In each church, prayer by agreement takes place differently, as the community chooses the appeal to God that is most suitable for any given occasion.
For prayer to bring results, you need to fully concentrate on the words while reading and not be distracted. A request for help must come from a pure heart.
Reading akathists
One of the initiators of the revival of prayer by agreement was Archpriest Vladimir Golovin from the city of Bolgar, located in Tatarstan. In his sermons, he answers many questions from believers, including those concerning the subtleties of turning to God by consent.
In Bolgar, akathists are recited together - texts of praise and thanks dedicated to God, the Mother of God, an angel or a saint. On a certain day of the week a prayer service is held at which they are read.
Anyone can join the worshipers. You need to go to the website of the Church of Abraham of Bulgaria, choose an akathist, focusing on your problem, and a convenient time. If you have questions for Father Vladimir Golovin, you can ask them on this same Internet resource.
Anyone who wants his name to be spoken at the prayer service must make a donation. In 2018 it is 700 rubles for one name for a year. It is possible to pay for the service via the Internet.
An indispensable condition is personal participation in prayer. You cannot limit yourself to just a monetary contribution. Throughout the year, on a selected day of the week at a certain time, you need to read the akathist.

Does it work quickly?
There are numerous testimonies where such prayer helped very quickly. Human He may pray privately for many years, but not see any results. And only by starting to pray by agreement does he get what he wants. It is believed that when turning to God together, the chances of being heard are higher.
But congregational prayer is not a panacea. Sometimes a person prays for a long time, but there is no effect. This means that the request is not the will of God.

The story of one of our readers Alina R.:
Money has always been my main problem. Because of this, I had a lot of complexes. I considered myself a failure, problems at work and in my personal life haunted me. However, I decided that I still needed personal help. Sometimes it seems that the problem is in you, all failures are just a consequence of bad energy, the evil eye or some other bad force.
But who can help in a difficult life situation, when it seems that your whole life is going downhill and passing you by? It’s hard to be happy working as a cashier for 26 thousand rubles, when you had to pay 11 thousand for renting an apartment. Imagine my surprise when my whole life suddenly changed overnight in better side. I couldn’t even imagine that it was possible to earn so much money that some trinket at first glance could have such an impact.
It all started when I ordered my personal...
