These prayers are not worth reading: a list of petitions that destroy the soul.
The surest way to God is sincere prayer. However, sometimes it may turn out to be not saving, but soul-destroying. Certain prayer words can bring sickness, grief, and trouble. They do not bring one closer to the Lord, but, on the contrary, alienate him from him. What prayers can do harm, depriving the protection of the Most Holy Theotokos and God?
On sending wealth
No man knows his own destiny. Therefore, one cannot predict how life will change with the receipt of wealth. When people in their prayers ask to send them financial well-being and prosperity, they thereby point out to God the imperfection of his management of human life.
Those who ask for wealth in prayer reproach the Lord for the lack of certain material goods. But at the same time, they openly disregard instructions that can save the soul. After all, Jesus himself called on his disciples:
"I tell you the truth, it is difficult for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 19:23).
"It is more convenient for a camel to pass through the ears of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God" (Matthew 19:24).
About punishing offenders and enemies
Often, in their prayers, people remember theirs:
- offenders;
- enemies;
- envious people;
- haters;
- competitors.
They ask to send sickness, death, trouble on them. However, this is absolutely impossible to do! By such prayers you only distance yourself from God. Such desires violate several commandments of a true Christian at once.
One of them says that you need to love your neighbor as well as yourself. Another commandment encourages you to love your enemies. Better to bless and pray with a kind heart for those who hate, offend, and curse. This will bring you closer to the Lord and will send you protection from bad people.

For the strongest of all prayers
It is believed that the most powerful and effective is the prayer word that comes from the heart. Especially from the Saints who are coming to the throne. However, there is a stronger option that is incredibly dangerous and harmful. It is the commemoration at the Liturgy for the Proskomedia of the living and the dead.

At the moment when the priest takes the prosphora in his left hand, in his right hand he has a small spear. When remembering a deceased or a living person, he retrieves a particle of bread. These pieces are sent to a discos - a special plate. When the Liturgy comes to an end, after communion, the priest sends these particles into a special bowl with the Blood and Body of Christ. At the same time, he reads a special prayer. It talks about the forgiveness of the sins of those people who are remembered. This is Proskomidia.
If at this moment a person specifically, in pursuit of malicious intent, remembers a living person as a deceased person, he sins gravely. It is unacceptable! Such a prayer can bring on terrible misfortunes, troubles and serious illnesses.
