About This Website

Prayer is the lifeblood of Orthodox Christian spirituality. Yet many of the faithful — whether cradle Orthodox, converts, or inquirers — struggle to find prayers for their specific needs at the moment they need them most. Hear Our Prayer gathers prayers from the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church and organizes them by need, time of day, and devotion, making it easy to find the right words when your own fall short. The prayers here are drawn from centuries of Orthodox worship — the Church Fathers, the liturgical services, the Psalter, the Akathist hymns, and the beloved prayer books of the faithful.

• Browse by need: Find prayers for specific situations — morning, evening, mourning, healing, and more.
• Explore the saints: Learn about the holy men and women of the Church and the prayers associated with them.
• Visit the Icon Gallery: Place images of beloved icons to aid your devotion.
• Submit a prayer request: Share your intentions, and they will be remembered in prayer.

All prayers on this website are drawn from the Holy Tradition of the Orthodox Church. Many come from the liturgical services, the Psalter, and the writings of the Church Fathers. Translations follow traditional Orthodox English usage, drawing from sources such as the Jordanville Prayer Book, the Lenten Triodion, the Festal Menaion, and the Philokalia. We pray that this website may be a help to your spiritual life and a source of comfort, strength, and grace.
