The Orthodox there is another type of personal prayer that, for many centuries, has played an extraordinarily important part in the life of Orthodoxy: the Jesus Prayer: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God Have mercy on me, sinner." Since it has sometimes been said that the Orthodox do not pay enough attention to the Person of the Incarnate Christ, it is worth noting that this, surely, the most classical of all the Orthodox prayers, is, essentially, a prayer centered on Christ, a prayer directed and focused on the Lord Jesus. Those who were brought up in the tradition of Jesus' Prayer are never allowed, even for a moment, to forget the Incarnate Christ.

To help themselves in the prayer of this prayer, many Orthodox use a Rosary, something different from the structure of the Western Rosary. An Orthodox Rosary is often made of wool, so that, unlike the beads, it does not make noise.

The Prayer of Jesus is a prayer of wonderful versatility. It is a prayer for beginners, but it is also a prayer that leads to the deepest mysteries of the contemplative life. It can be used by anyone, at any time, anywhere, either while waiting in rows, walking, traveling in trucks or trains, at work, when you can not sleep at night, or in times of particular anxiety , when it is impossible to concentrate on another kind of prayer. But, even though each Christian can use the Jesus Prayer, at different times, in this way, it is totally different to recite it, more or less, continuously, and following the physical exercises that are associated with it. Orthodox spiritual writers insist that those who use the Jesus Prayer, systematically, should, if possible, place themselves under the guidance of an experienced director, and do nothing on their own initiative.

For some, the time comes, in which Jesus' Prayer 'enters the heart', and is no longer recited by a deliberate effort, but it recites itself, spontaneously, continuing, even when a man speaks or he writes, he is present in his dreams, and he picks it up in the morning. In the words of St. Isaac, the Syrian: "When the Spirit dwells in a man, he does not cease to pray, because the Spirit will constantly pray in him." Then, the prayer will not cease from his soul, nor when he sleeps, nor when he wakes up, but when he eats and when he drinks, when he sits down or when he does any work, even when he is in a dream, the perfumes of prayer will pour out spontaneously in his heart ".

The Orthodox believe that the Power of God is present in the Name of Jesus, so the invocation of this Divine Name acts "as a real sign of the Action of God, as a kind of Sacrament".
"The Name of Jesus, Present in the human heart, communicates the Power of deification ... Shining through the heart, the Light of the Name of Jesus illuminates the entire universe."
'Pray without ceasing' (1 Thessalonians 5,17) "
