Orthodox prayer for a driver driving a car on the road
The road for a motorist has always been considered a test and difficulty. That is why it is necessary to pay due attention to prayer - the communication of the human soul with the Creator of the World.
Prayer while traveling by car is the most important step in preparing for a trip of any distance. An equally important point is a visit to the confessor to receive a blessing. After all, it is the priest-priest who will pray for the good outcome of the journey.
The Lord is present in a person’s life under any circumstances, so a driver’s prayer before the road will help a Christian find mood and blessing on the road.
Which saints should you pray to when going on the road?
The priests do not recommend constantly reading the petition during the journey; you can behave as usual, spending time talking with passengers, but carefully monitor the route.
Amulet for the driver You should mentally turn to the Heavenly Powers only a few times during the entire journey.
Before you go on the road, it is recommended:
- sitting behind the wheel, cross yourself and mentally ask the Almighty for a blessing for a successful trip;
- read the prayer request three times;
- sign yourself with the sign of the cross and hit the road with a light heart.
Other prayers for travelers:
It is advisable to memorize the text of the prayer appeal, but you can write it down on a piece of paper and keep it in your car at all times.

His beginningless Father and His Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Psalm 90
Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words. His cloak will overshadow you, and you will trust under His wing.
His truth will surround you with a weapon, you will not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you. Look before your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge.
Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body. As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot against a stone. Tread on the asp and the silisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover and because I have known My name.
He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him; I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.
Location of auto icons
Most often, drivers stick icons on the front panel of the car, some attach them to the windshield, facing the road.
Icons in the car An icon in the car interior of a Christian believer should be located facing the worshipers!
Commandments for drivers
- check if the pectoral cross is left at home (this rule applies only to people baptized in the Orthodox faith);
- sign yourself with a cross, cross the path and say out loud or silently “Lord, bless”;
- do not try to reduce travel time by exceeding the permissible speed limit (this can cause an accident);
- thank the drivers who let your car through;
- give way to rushing traffic or aggressive drivers;
- at the end of the journey, cross yourself and thank God for your help and the successful (and even unsuccessful) completion of the trip, say “Glory to God for everything!”
Commandments for the driver
How to pray correctly to an Orthodox driver
- it is necessary to turn to the Lord and His saints passionately and from the heart;
- the prayer request before the road should be read out loud, but on the way the prayer should be done silently;
- You should not cross yourself while driving; the driver’s hands should firmly hold the steering wheel;
- the auto-icon must be treated with respect, it is the same shrine as the faces of the saints in the temple;
- The icon in the car does not have magical properties; it is not a talisman or emergency protection.
Amulet on the way
Split the aspen twig on both sides. After casting a talisman on it, put it out of sight under the seat of your car.
Holy Wayfarer, Holy Catherine, your legs are fast, your legs are quick, you walk on paths with iron legs. You won’t get knocked down along the way, nothing will happen to you, no grief will happen to you. It’s not dark for you at night, you’re not cold in the cold, you won’t get wet in the rain, no one will bother you. The Lord protects you. Lord, my God, be always with me, as with Saint Catherine. Key, lock, tongue. Amen. Amen. Amen.
As a result, what amulets should you have in your car?
There is no list of required amulets. It all depends on the driver’s faith in their miraculous action. For some, one amulet made independently is enough, while others buy expensive attributes and hang the whole car with them.
Sorcerers and psychics recommend not to neglect this issue, to have at least three basic amulets in your car:
- from road accidents;
- from the evil eye;
- from the woman you love.
Also, do not forget about prayers and conspiracies that can protect you from troubles. Well, the ritual when buying a new car must be carried out without fail.
Prayer to protect against death in an accident
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I drive from field to field, from road to road. I will stand up, stop, humbly cross myself, and bow to four sides. Hey you, Odolen-grass! I didn’t water you, I didn’t sow you, I didn’t give birth to you. Mother earth gave birth to you. You grow through a worm, you pass by a dead thing. You have overcome all the burdens of the earth. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Overcome adversity. Just as you avoid the worms of the earth, the dead creatures of bone, so I too will avoid troubles, I would not know death, I would not lose my blood. I close it with three to ten keys, I wrap it with hoops. Whoever breaks my hoop will not blow the grass. My word is in stone, my deed is true. Amen. Amen. Amen.
Amulet for car
They slander while standing facing the car. This can be done on all days except days of fasting. You can rewrite the amulet and take it with you.
There is an island on the sea, on the ocean. There is a damp oak tree on the island. In that iron oak there is an iron man. You can’t give that iron man something to drink, you can’t feed him anything, you can’t break him in two, you can’t cut him in three. He doesn’t beat, doesn’t crumple, doesn’t prick, the Mother of God prays for him, grieves for him, suffers, and reads the security certificate for him. Honor, Mother of God, also about me, God's servant (name). In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, forever and forever. Amen.
For the same:
The servant of God (name) got up, blessed himself, and left the yard, crossing himself. From the yard to the gate, from the gate to the road along God's amulet. Cleanse yourself in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit from accidents, from fire, from trouble, from a dangerous path. Two guardian angels are with me, one in front, the other behind my back. I praise the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, forever and forever. Amen.
Ritual for a new car
When buying a new car, anyone hopes for a long and faithful service of this “iron horse”. For some, the car even becomes a friend, a member of the family. And the purchase itself is a responsible matter. Especially when it comes to purchasing equipment that has already been used.
There is a ritual that charges the car with goodness. When selling his old car, the owner thanks him for all the time he was in use. And when buying a new car, a person must follow a certain procedure.
Amulet for the car
First, you need to pick up the money that will be spent on the purchase, or the bank card with which the payment will be made. After this, you should close your eyes and say three times: “Money, serve me, save me, don’t let me down.”
Secondly, when inspecting a vehicle, you need to walk around it completely, clockwise, and mentally ask yourself the question - do you feel something in relation to this car? The answer will be obvious. If there is complete indifference inside, then you don’t need this car.
Thirdly, we take scissors with us. After the documents are completed, you need to go around the car clockwise again and cut the air with scissors.
The last stage is reading the plot. But we'll talk about this later.
Amulet for the driver
Lord, God, help! Protect me and protect me: from bruises, mutilation, broken bones, from deformity, muscle rupture, from terrible wounds and scarlet blood. Protect my body from the burns of fire. Save, save, protect me. Be my words strong and sculpted. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
For the same:
Lord Jesus Christ, Lord Almighty. You are the doctor of our souls and bodies, take away from me trouble, ulcer, wound, blood, broken bones, the bed of infirmity. So that I, the servant of God (name), do not break yellow bones, do not shed scarlet blood, do not shake my brain-mind, do not lose my life. Son of God, Jesus Christ, I ask You, I pray, save me, God’s man, in all ways, in all roads. Protect me with Your shield, take me under Your protection. Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now, forever and forever. Amen
From an accident on the way
I (name) will go out of the door, stop, pray to the Lord God Jesus Christ, bow to all four sides, and to the east side below all. There the Church of the Mother of God stands, in that temple the Mother of God sits on the throne, sorts out golden rosaries, and counts all my paths. Choose a path for me, Mother of God, so that I don’t suffer on that road. I bow to you to the ground. Bless the bread, bless the salt, bless my roads. Save me everywhere and keep me safe. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Independent prayer of a driver on the road
“My Lord and Guardian! I want to entrust my life to You alone before I set off on the road. I commit my house and my household into Your hands, believing, Lord, that they are under reliable protection. I don’t know what awaits me ahead, but I calm down in the hope of Your great mercy, love and care. When I’m on the road, protect my car from accidents and breakdowns, and, Father, protect me from spiritual and physical wounds. At the most difficult moment of my journey, send me calmness, endurance and strength to cope with any situation. Bless my return to my home and be with me every minute of my life. Amen"
Other types of amulets for cars
The main types of talismans and amulets were described above, but there are other types of protective artifacts that will protect the driver, passengers and the car itself from various troubles along the way.
Charms against traffic cops (cops) or traffic police
A meeting with representatives of the traffic police does not always end pleasantly, even if the driver complied with the traffic rules.
The following amulet will help you avoid unpleasant encounters with law enforcement officials:
- Place a pinch of salt and black pepper, a little dried mint and thistle herb, and the stub of a church candle that was previously burning in the cabin into a linen or cotton bag.
- All these items complement the note written on white paper. It should contain the following words: “My path is open, the road is smooth, there will be no obstacle in my way. I’ll stop only if I want to.”
No additional actions need to be taken. It is enough to hide the bag in a secluded place in the cabin.
Gypsy amulets
Various gypsy amulets are considered a powerful anti-theft agent. Ancient amulets and spells will help protect the iron horse from theft.
Reference! It is recommended to place all artifacts in the glove compartment or under the seat so that the talisman is not seen by strangers.
To protect against theft, the following talismans are used:
- Chicken God. A special amulet stone with a through hole. It protects not only from thieves, but also protects the car owner from damage and the evil eye.
- Wooden amulet. To make it, a stick of oak, cedar and ash is tied with red woolen thread. The finished talisman is hidden in the salon, away from prying eyes.
- Card of the Queen of Hearts. Before hiding the card in the car, you need to kiss the image of the lady and ask her to grant protection.
Another effective amulet is a copper coin with the letter “A” burned on it. Having such an artifact in the cabin, the driver can be confident in the complete protection of the car, because thieves simply will not pay attention to it.
Muslim
There are also quite a lot of Muslim amulets. They have not only pronounced magical properties, but also an attractive appearance.
Popular Muslim amulets include:
- Anchovy. This amulet is made in the shape of a palm. Fatima's hand is hung on the windshield to protect against accidents, the evil eye and damage.
- Beads. They are also hung on the windshield. If the driver is a Muslim, it would be great to hang on the windshield exactly the rosary with which he constantly prays. Such an artifact will become a very powerful amulet, because it contains the energy of the owner.
- Fatima's eye. A very famous Muslim amulet. This blue ball or bead with a black spot in the center perfectly protects not only accidents and various troubles along the way, but also protects the car owner from the evil eye and damage.
Slavic symbols
The ancient Slavs had their own amulets that protected travelers. The god Veles was considered the patron saint of wanderers. That is why various amulets with the face of Veles or the so-called seals of this Slavic god are used to protect the car.
Another popular talisman is Kolovrat. This is a symbolic image of the sun, which protects against breakdowns, illuminates the path and makes the road smooth.
Feng Shui talismans
Ancient Chinese teaching offers its artifacts and talismans to protect the car:
- Fu dogs (celestial lions). In ancient times they were used to protect the emperor's palace. To protect the car, animal figures should be positioned so that their eyes are directed towards the door.
- God Ganesha. The figurine of this deity is placed to the right of the driver. This talisman will bring prosperity and good luck along the way.

Talismans made from plants and animals
To protect your car from breakdowns, theft, or to get help on a long journey, it is not at all necessary to turn to ancient magical teachings.
Reference! Of the animals, the horse and turtle have the most powerful protective properties. Their figures are placed behind the driver's seat. The horse will help maintain high concentration, and the turtle will give the driver wisdom.
Many spicy plants can give the car and its owner the necessary protection from evil forces:
- You can wrap a sprig of rosemary, dill and parsley in a small piece of natural fabric, and put such a homemade artifact under the wheel cap so that the road passes without incident.
- You can put a small bag of cumin in the driver’s pocket to increase concentration and protect him from violating traffic rules.
Quartz crystal
Many magical rituals use small crystals of natural quartz. The properties of this mineral can also be used to protect the car and its owner.
Reference! Quartz is able to absorb negative energy, freeing up space for the flow of positive energy.
For the crystal to work, the driver needs to get behind the wheel, take the quartz in his hands and mentally ask it to provide protection. When the stone becomes warm, it is hidden in the cabin away from prying eyes.
Blue Aventurine
Those who frequently travel or go on business trips should definitely purchase several blue aventurine stones. This stone is placed in the car or always carried with you.
This mineral has powerful magical properties and protects against dangers and accidents on the road.
Prayer for drivers - appeal to the guardian angel
“Angel of God, my holy guardian, given from the Lord from heaven for my protection, I diligently pray to you; Enlighten me today and save me from all evil, guide me to good deeds on the path of salvation. Amen".
Also useful is the prayer to the Guardian Angel , which I have already given in a separate article. In addition to the fact that it is useful to read it in the morning before leaving the house, it can also be used as a talisman for a car by writing it on a piece of paper and putting it, for example, in the glove compartment of a car or under the driver’s seat.
Have a safe and happy journey!

DIY amulets for the car and driver
It is precisely because amulets can be made independently, putting all faith and hope into the process, that many people prefer such means of protection. After all, when purchasing an icon or prayer in a church, a person feels the fact of purchasing a product, and not acquiring some kind of reliability.
Amulet for a loved one
Previously, such a talisman was called Slavic. It was made by brides or wives for their men. Some traditions have survived to this day.
There are several options for such amulets. The most famous and powerful of them is the doll.
Rose or peony petals are placed in the bundle in an even number. Each petal is placed separately, and the girl creating the amulet at this time thinks about the well-being of her loved one.
The doll is made from a long stick, which serves as the hands of both a man and a woman. Two shirts are thrown onto the stick - a man's and a woman's. The amulet is decorated in Slavic traditions. Basic Rules:
- do not use a needle when making;
- do not take aspen or pine branches.
Such a talisman will reliably protect a man from drunkenness, infidelity and other troubles. And on the road – this is the most important thing.
