When times are tough, many people seek protection and help in faith and prayer. Of course, from the point of view of science, the power of prayer has not been proven by anything, but many believers do not at all doubt its effect.

Step 1
From the point of view of biorhythmology and the theory of sound vibrations when reading a prayer, the sound vibrations formed by the words of the prayer coincide with the vibrations of the biorhythms of the human body. Reading a prayer helps to align biorhythm disturbances. Thus, prayer can truly heal, calm, and set up positive thoughts. In addition, for a believer, the very fact of communication with God through prayer sets up a special, spiritualized mood.
Step 2
Prayers are different. In classical prayers, a person asks for the transmission of "common" graces, in special prayers he asks for one thing. The meaning of specific prayers is not only in the creation of therapeutic biorhythms, but also in a certain kind of self-hypnosis, the creation of its own program that directs the subconscious mind to achieve a specific goal. As a result of such a prayer, the behavior of the believer changes accordingly, an attitude is created to achieve a specific result.
Step 3
Many prayers, according to religious canons, require the observance of certain rituals, strictly specified manipulations. These actions are designed to strengthen the faith of a religious person that, with the mandatory observance of all prescribed actions, the achievement of the result will accelerate. In other words, the prescribed manipulations enhance the effect of the attitude that prayer puts into the human subconscious.
Step 4
From a psychological point of view, prayer helps to cope with the feeling of loneliness, allows you not to forget about the presence of God in the life of a believer. A prayer of thanks helps to see only the good from everything around us, to develop an optimistic outlook on life, and to overcome depression. A conversation with God about his problems forces the believer to first understand them, to come to terms with their existence. After all, the denial of existing problems, as a way of dealing with them, only alienates a person from their solution.
Step 5
During prayer, the believer is revealed to God, his personality appears before him as it is. Without trying to pretend, without trying to look better than you really are, throwing away gimmicks and revealing yourself. In this state, the praying person can be himself, try to understand his inner psychological problems, discover the prospects for personal and spiritual growth.
Step 6
For Orthodox Christians, prayer is an analogue of meditation, a state of concentration on one thing. Saint John Climacus recommends: choose a prayer, stand before God, be aware of where you are and what you are doing, and begin to read the words of the prayer carefully. As soon as thoughts begin to wander, begin praying with the last words that you read carefully. It doesn't matter how many times you have to read the prayer: three times, ten, twenty or fifty. Try to focus on words so that you say your prayer soberly, seriously, and reverently. That is, in such a way as to put all your consciousness, all your soul and all your attentiveness into prayer.
