This is a Russian Orthodox Chant known as the Jesus Prayer where the line "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." is repeated many times!
I have completely destroyed my own life by sinning joyously and through my iniquity I have invited the devil to torment me with pain both physical and mental. I have angered God with my evil deeds and now nothing brings me peace. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have Mercy on me a sinner!!!
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:6-7). Trust in Jesus- for nothing is impossible to God - May peace be with you 🙏
Remember the story of the prodigal son in the New Testament? The son offended his father, lived in the worst sins. But when he decided to go home the father awaited him full of love and received him with open arms. God loves you, he is NOT angry with you! He is full of joy that you have come back to him. He gladly forgives everything that you did. Ask him to help you to find peace and to forgive yourself. God is full of compassion, he doesn´t want you to suffer. He will help you gladly. God bless!
@@dr.wallacebreen3859 start by calling the closest orthodox church to you. There are only Billy Bob churches anywhere around me, but I’m educating people and hope to bring in a parish one day.
I am 14 years of age and i have sinned many times I have asked many times for your forgiveness and it has been granted to me many times and lord i dont not wish to take advantage of your kindness Lord please rid me of my sins and make me able to sleep at night knowing i have your protection all 7-8 hours of midnight Amen
Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me a sinner? You have delivered me from all pain pills last Sunday...I was taking 70 grams of opiates for the last 6 months and by the power of your word and the faith of my priest and his intercessory prayers for me You completely delivered me with no withdrawals!
On 25 of December of 2020 I converted to catholicism. That day I felt that all the world was on my shoulders. The weight of my sins should have killed me, and I cried rivers before the Eucharistic Christ in my Cathedral on that day. Thank you, Jesus Christ, Son of God, for the mercy.
Laying on my bed, listening to this while staring at the ceiling and just let this chant clean my mind from all the bad thoughts, lust etc while playing images of Jesus Christ is perfect
2nd January 2023, the day I became Orthodox, before that I was lost I had no denomination as I do not agree with the progressivism and heresy the Protestant and Catholic Churches preach, Orthodox was always the way for me and God guided me to it, my love for Russia and Eastern Europe grew a lot more since I became Orthodox, I have no regrets and I am happy that I keep walking closer and closer to the truth, forgive me Lord Jesus Christ, I am a sinner. 🏴🇿🇼☦️
The Jesus prayer has totally changed my way of looking at the world, people are no longer just people, the elements, life itself all has one of 2 directions. Either the direction eventually gets you to labor in Theosis onward to heaven or the direction eventually leads one to spiritual death and hell. Jesus prayer smooths out our rough edges of the soul and steers us silently in the right direction. It is a struggle! Even as I type this I am being tempted. Tempted to stop praying Jesus prayer or tempted to indulge in sin. May we suffocate the devils with the name of Jesus and keep moving towards God's reward for us ✝ 🙏
"Everything has one of 2 directions - towards Theosis or towards spiritual death and hell" Thank you for writing this! That´s really life here on this fallen earth in a nutshell. And the Jesus Prayer is one of the most powerful gifts of God to help us.
I am a ROMAN CATHOLIC from Sri Lanka. I have been praying the LORD JESUS prayer for some time now. The world looks different and my perception has changed. This is beautiful
I am Lutheran from Czech republic and I love this amazing chant, The Jesus prayer is universal, no matther, who You are. Love and respect from Czech Republic, God be with You allways!
My wife's mother died two days ago and as she lived outside of European Union, it was impossible to get all necessary documents ready within few hours and go in this pandemic situation. Our Lord took care of every step, every decision, every phonecall we made, he took care of everything, as always. Lets praise the Lord 🙏
I am 15 and I found the Lord Jesus Christ in December 2023 he tollen me out of a hateful and sinful depressed life I want to say this for all you guys The Lord Jesus Christ loves all of you and cares for you guys just please do not stop repenting Lord Jesus Christ Son of God may you have mercy on us all sinners
This chant is heartstoppingly beautiful! It is profoundly sad the brothers and sisters are divided in the body of Christ on earth. (I'm a Catholic drawn to becoming a member of the Greek Orthodox community on theological grounds but still love the Catholic church.) Peace be with us all.
L BN How’s the liturgy there for you? I’m not officially Orthodox yet, but I really want to be, and consider myself Orthodox in the sense that I take all my learnings and beliefs from Orthodox. I was Roman Catholic. It’s hard for me at my Greek church because they only use Koine Greek and I can’t understand it
LOlita Razo thank you for posting the lyrics. I’m just in beginning stages of learning Russian but not sure if this chant is in another language. God bless you.
I used to get sleep paralysis and I would feel like something was breathing on me now it's gone after playing this as I go to sleep it's a blessing thank God .
@@ExploreCalifornia123 It's just reminiscent of things I've read from stories both historical and contemporary from people. It's a complex subject, but yes demons can manifest during such states more easily.This is when it's urgent to pray. Look up Orthodox articles about demons on and/or better yet ask a priest! I pray you will not suffer this again
I am a wretched sinner in need of salvation. Until quite recently, thanks to the grace of God and the hard work I put in, I struggled with autism, depression, and anxiety. However, I still look at myself and wonder how easily I become detached from higher things and focus on my own desires whether it be my desire to date, desire to succeed, or desire to become stronger. None of them are inherently bad, but I end up making them idols. I sometimes do not prioritize God enough. Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a miserable sinner.
For thoose "sinners" God is love, the Lord won't harm you, He wants you to be happy and faithfull, keep raying and be happy, don't worry catholics and orthodox brothers, no mather the sin, the Lord died in the cross for all the sins, nothing can keep you away from His love💓✝️💞
I am form Ethiopia and listening this make me feel comfortable, thanks to God. My orthodox brother and sisters your prayers will be answer by our savior 🙏🏾
So many people have made fun of me or not taken me seriously when I mentioned that I want to convert to the Orthodox faith, but not once have I been discouraged. I stand proud of my beliefs and my decision. I know I am a sinner and have a long way to go, but I trust God.
My mom was Protestant and went to church all the time, and so did dad when alive. When mom was old and was dying, she would fall asleep at my house when I played this prayer and the evening prayer. Our Father (Priest of monastery/church) came to see her while in hospital and before, even more than her own minister. We do not totally understand if mom understood what she said or not ,as she was in partial coma ,but out of no however she sat up and looked toward our Father( Now Abbot) and said " I love you!" Will never forget this. He could not re-baptize her as she was not able to give permission herself right at that time .
Carol Weaver Wow. Your story has deeply moved me Carol. Pray continually for your mom. God is merciful, and it sounds like he was working in her to draw her near. I will offer up my prayers today for your mother’s soul. May God bless you.
@@thegreekpro Thank you for letting me know this. She was not baptized by the Orthodox Church. She came to this point before the time had come. Our Father ( Priest now Abbot of our Church/Seminary/Monastery and a Bishop of another church) was going to do that in the hospital bed, but she ended up being unconscious and not able to answer about it herself. So he wanted to but needed her to tell him it was alright, and she wanted him to do it am sure, but she was not able to say this herself at that time. Am thankful our Lord does know our hearts and He truly would understand what was happening and why it could not happen that she could be baptized in time. Thank you.. May our Lord bless you always!
As Orthodox, we don't do missionary work, Jesus himself does all the missionary work we need. The original line of Christianity has chosen you. Blessings friend from a Serb devoted to Serving the prince of peace.

Jesus will always forgive, love and protect all who ask for his forgiveness and help. You still have a long life to live walk with our Lord Jesus. He will always be with you my dear friend.
I hope my Lord Jesus Christ will forgive me my sins and rescue me from my situation. He is my only hope. My faith has been shaken, and I am ashamed of this, but I confess my weakness to the Lord. I will come back here and share with you what happened so you may have hope in your affliction and not lose faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. Blessings.
8 months later. To those seeing this comment. Christ has saved me and I have found peace in the Orthodox church. My faith has been restored and renewed, and I have learned from my mistakes. Do not despair. Christ knows what He is doing and He won't let the devil take you away from Him.
May all the countless glorious Saints of the British Isles pray for your people and all of us! St. Cuthbert the Wonderworker or St. Guthlac or St. Edmund are some of my favorites.
@@seronymus Because since I started using the prayer, my eyesight is healed, my spine is straight, and everthing just seems better. And it's going to keep getting better because I have such faith in God.
I'm an Irish Anglo Catholic, who know that in Christ I've been made alive onto God as my Heavenly Father. This chant come prayer give me sense of the presence of God in life . Why people who come from a Christian heritage seek after other gods through eastern meditation is beyond my understanding. Listen to this and one will never try eastern meditation again. Only Christianity heals the soul, only Christianity renews the heart. Why? because in Christ we are made right with God because. Only Christianity can deal with the the human heart. God has mercy on those who ask him. Jesus the Christ God's only begotten Son died for you and for me. Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on me a sinner.
@@greenstreet8562 Everything you said, and Buddhists do not believe in the concept of a soul / salvation So I set aside some time to pray for them so that they might be saved!
Why do you Christians busy yourself with what others believe or not believe. It it such disbelief of others understanding of Divine that led believing Christians to wars.
@@lizs606 The Buddhists do not believe in the concept of a Self. You're trying to push European concepts on cultures to wich they are foreign. You assume that concepts are things in the world and have universal recognition. Your Christianity is one simple step to atheism.
@@gideonros2705 What basis in your worldview provides you the ability to make this comment? It seems to me that you're borrowing an ethical system that's adhoc to a nontheistic system.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Listening to the Jesus Prayer consistently in 2020 has begun the previously impossible task of dismantling my ego, my outlook has changed, my attitude is softening and I’m more conscious of my relationship with God. At the name of Jesus , the mighty (dark spirits) are fallen , every knee shall bow 🙇♀️.... Deo Gratis.
I am listening to this beautiful chant right now. It is filling my house with a love and light that has been missing for years. Thank you my Lord Jesus for being here today with me. Blessings to all in the world in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I have fallen so far. Only the light of our Lord can save me from the fires of Hell. Oh, God, protect me from the inglorious fate that awaits this world…
Jerry Beers Forgive me , you are correct . What I meant to say is that the true church of Christ is the orthodox way of living for Christ , orthodox meaning the right way, the true way , the original way like thought by Christ and the appostles , there are Christians in the world living the orthodox way that not neccessarily belong to a orthodox Chrustian church , peace snd blessings may the Lord preserve you
Jesus deliver us poor sinners from the evil spirits that prowl around trying to kill, steal and destroy. We trust, love and Honor you forever and ever. Lord Forgive our sins and transform us to walk in your ways to help others....Amen
I have been considering orthodoxy for a while now and after feeling convicted of not finding the community right for me. I think it’s time to make that decision. Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner!
I've been experiencing the same thing, and I'm grateful that you shared this, for now I don't feel so alone. I feel its time to make the decision myself. May the Lord bless you and keep you on your journey through Holy Orthodoxy.
I kept saying "I'm a Christian", but I did not pray nor think of Lord. Now I see that I was an atheist. I thank Lord to this day that He struck me with that thoughts, that life changing thoughts, when Easter came✝️☦️
These chants are great gift from The God, father to humans and RU-vid is our tool, how to reach them. Love and respect from Czech Lutheran, stay safe and healthy, God bless You all!
Every person is a sinner, some have committed bigger sins others smaller, we're still all the same in god's eyes, we just need to realize our mistakes learn from them and pray for forgiveness.
Господь Иисус Христос, Сын Божии, помилуй меня грешного. Gospodi lisuse Khriste, Syne Bozhiy, pomiluy mya greshnago. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
Thank you! I've been seaeching for an English phonetic way of saying the Russian Jesus Prayer! Also just realized I could've used Google translate of the language lol
I converted to eastern orthodox Russian orthodox religion 5 years ago this religion gave me peace and love and stability because I was going to the wrong path so this religion made me from not go to temptation of sin
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, Have mercy on me a sinner. Господи Ісусе Христе, Сину Божий, помилуй мене грішного. Hospody Isuse Khryste, Synu Bozhyy, pomyluy mene hrishnoho.
Dear Father, forgive me for my iniquity, my sinfulness, and acting wickedly. I ask that you lead me to a fulfilling path. I leave my life in your hands. Amen
I’m troubled with lust, every night I listen to orthodox chants and prayers, I have gotten better at it, doing it less, and I have trouble with greed, I see materialistic things as everything
I have the same problem. The day after tomorrow I will go to confession and ask the Lord my God to deliver me from the evil one, to direct me to the true path. Peace to everyone who reads this. Save and Preserve Us, Lord
I'm struggling in the adversities of life if it's temptation, overthinking, holding on to my past, seeing my parents struggle, finances have not been going so well for my family, people showing me hate, making fun of me! But most importantly, I have betrayed God like Judas Iscariot just for Lust and Wrath, but I know that there is still hope, it's in God! Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, I am a sinner ✝️🙏🏻❤️.
There is power in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. He died for me, all of my sin was nailed to the cross, and I am reconciled to Almighty God because my debt is paid, it is finished. Not thru any of my own efforts, but solely because of the faith I have in Jesus, His perfection, life, death and resurrection.
i smoked some dab (concentrated weed) and my high got so bad. i felt chill, but my heart was beating super hard and i had a bad trip like i started seeing advertisements and shit in my head... anyways i assumed i was just dehydrated so i decided to listen to my Christian playlist and passed out. this song woke me up from my passing out. thinking back on it, i could have probably died if it weren't for Jesus. i am sober now 2 days strong. please pray for me Edit 1: I am 10 days sober and I gave all my weed away. All the glory be to God Edit 2: I have not smoked since. Please continue to pray for me as I suffer from a porn addiction. I probably should have posted that here as well, but whatever Edit 3: your prayers are working
Im completely heartbroken.... my fiance changed, not to his good. I tried everything to help him, but I lost the battle.. he broke up with me.. he said he's not believing in Christ anymore.. made fun of the faith.. of my faith..that was the point I realised I needed to let him go. It hurts. It really hurts.. we wanted to get married (orthodox) very soon.. but I trust in God with all my heart. I KNOW that he is with me.. even though I also was walking in darkness for years.... I hurt him. But I learned my lesson and I'm praying every single day this prayer..... he knows what's best, I trust him. He gave me signs to move on. So I do. Amin. ☦️
I am a Lutheran Christian and I hope that someday we will be in full communion with the Catholic and Orthodox Church. The Christ Pantocrator icon makes me think of how shameful the condition of Christians today is compared to that of Christians in the first centuries.
Luterano a noble sentiment but in all honesty I can't see what Lutheranism has to offer Orthodoxy that would enrich Orthodoxy. I've struggled to think of something but I really can't. I'm an Orthodox Christian who has come from a denomination aligned to Lutheranism so I know what I'm talking about and not being spiteful at all. If you can think of anything I'm happy for you.
Most Lutheran churches allow for the ordination of women. That alone pretty much guarantees there can never be a reestablishment of communion with Orthodoxy, even if Lutherans were to conform to Orthodoxy's core fundamental beliefs on everything else. At one point in the mid 20th century, there was dialogue between us and the Anglicans with many on both sides (including C.S. Lewis) expecting a recommunication of Anglicans with the Eastern Orthodox church. Talks broke down and pretty much ended the moment Anglicans began ordaining women to the priesthood. There are theological and scriptural reasons why the Eastern Orthodox Church is firm in its conviction against the ordination of women to the priesthood (though there is some debate over women in the diaconate, as there is historical and scriptural precedent for it, at least to serve certain roles)
I agree very much with Broadway on this, but to attempt to throw further light I would add that there is a general confusion between sex and gender. The prohibition by the earliest expressions of Christianity as they are exemplified by the Orthodox and Roman catholic denominations has nothing to do with sex and everything to do wit gender. The two are distinct. Even recent paintings suggesting that there were some churches in the fifth century (?) that ordained women bishops, this is far from clear and changes nothing. Scripture still is absent of evidence that Jesus went against cultural norms and appointed women in leadership roles. But even more important than this is to remember that Jesus isn't a Christian. Jesus is a Jew and the church came about as a result of the efforts of Paul over the efforts of Jesus' brother, James. The church was created in two camps, with Paul leading one and James leading the other. Paul effectively silenced James and sidelined him. The formation of the church from that point was directed by Paul, so trying to link Jesus with the rules of ordination are as pointless as they are fruitless.
