Prayer for the health of a sick matron. Necessary prayers for health

“In illnesses, before doctors and medicines, use prayer,” said the Monk Neil, the ascetic of Sinai. Many people, when faced with an illness, especially a severe or fatal one, turn their face to Heaven. They intuitively feel where they need to go, from whom to seek help. But the temptation of the easy, understandable path remains so great, especially when we are pushed towards it. Alas, often even in the temple.

A confused person, frightened by the diagnosis, comes to the nearest church and asks: “What should I do?” And they explain to him that it is very godly to order a magpie for health, a memorial for the psalter in the monastery, a prayer service, to submit a note about the commemoration at the Liturgy, especially at the proskomedia, etc. And it turns out that the problem of life and death is yours! - it's just a matter of price. A person has done “everything that is SUPPOSED” and has not even thought about who is supposed to do it, and why?

No, of course, all this needs to be done - submitting notes and ordering prayer services. Great, special power lies in church prayer. But we must remember that this prayer is strengthened a thousandfold if you yourself take part in it

“But who here prays painfully? - St. Theophan the Recluse asks a woman asking for her sick daughter, - God listens to prayer when they pray with a soul that aches for something. If no one sighs from the soul, then the prayer services will crackle, but there will be no prayer for the sick. The same is the proskomedia, the same is the mass. There is only your faith and hope here, the sign of which is your orders. But do you yourself attend prayer services? If not, then your faith is silent... You ordered, but, having given money so that others would pray, you yourself have thrown all worries off your shoulders... There is no one who cares about the sick one. It doesn’t even occur to those serving the prayer service to feel pain in their souls before the Lord for those whom they remember at the prayer service... And where can they feel pain for everyone?! It’s another matter when you yourself are at a prayer service or in church at the Liturgy, when N. is remembered at the proskomedia... Then your illness is taken up by the prayer of the Church and quickly ascends to the Throne of God... and the very prayer of the Church makes it painful, although the servants are not sick... So you see, what is the power!.. Attend prayer services yourself, and ache with your soul for the sick..."

Prayer for health - what to pray for and how?

Just what to pray for and how?

“Illness is a cross; it burns away sins that we do not even realize are sins. Therefore, we thank God’s mercy, sent to us in illness. And every Christian will have to go through their crucible... for there is no person who would live and not sin... I pray not that illnesses will go away, but that you will correctly evaluate and perceive them,” wrote the old, sick Archimandrite John to one of his petitioners (Peasant).
The Holy Fathers teach that the most important means for correcting the spiritual causes of illnesses is prayer and repentance. But the power and value of holiness for us does not lie in the fact that devotees of piety issue instructions: “Read these words, and they, like a spell, will fulfill your desire.” The saints set us an EXAMPLE - contrition for sins, prayer, the feat of life itself. They were the same as us, they were sick in the same way, they suffered in the same way, they sought God in the same way... Yes, but not so - with a pure heart. That is why we read the prayers of the saints of God as our own - they are more accurate than we ourselves are able to express our feelings, and most importantly, to direct them.

Such are the Psalms of the holy king-psalmist David. If only we could pray from our hearts like this:

Prayer for health. Psalm 37

1 Psalm of David, in remembrance of the Sabbath.

2 Lord, reprove me not of Your wrath, and do not punish me with Your wrath.
3 For Your arrows have pierced me, and You have strengthened Your hand on me.
4 There is no healing for my flesh because of your wrath, no peace for my bones because of my sins,
5 For my iniquities have gone beyond my head, like a heavy burden weighing me down.
6 My wounds stink and fester because of my madness:
7 I suffered and was bowed down to the end; I walked around mourning all day.
8 For my stomach is filled with mockery, and there is no healing for my flesh.
9 I was crushed and humiliated beyond measure; I cried out because of the groaning of my heart.
10 Lord, all my desire is before You, and my groaning is not hidden from You.
11 My heart is troubled, my strength has failed me, and the light of my eyes, and he is no longer with me.
12 My friends and my neighbors came near and stood opposite me,
13 And my neighbors stood afar off, and those who sought my life crowded in, and those who sought harm to me spoke empty words and plotted intrigues all day long.
14 But I was like a deaf man who did not hear, and like a dumb man who did not open his mouth;
15 And he became like a man who neither hears nor has reproof in his mouth.
16 For I have trusted in You, O Lord: You will hear, O Lord my God.
17 For I said, “Let not my enemies gloat over me!” For when my feet faltered, they magnified themselves over me.
18 For I am ready for blows, and my suffering is always before me.
19 For I will declare my iniquity and take care of my sin.
20 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I, and those who hate me unjustly have multiplied.
21 Those who repay me evil for good have slandered me, for I sought good.
22 Forsake me not, O Lord my God, do not depart from me,
22 Seek help to me, O Lord of my salvation!

However, illnesses are not always a punishment for sins. Hieromonk Dmitry (Pershin) writes: “Suffering can have its own purpose, and even a higher one than the fate of the sufferer. God allows Satan to infect Job’s body with leprosy in order to wean Old Testament Israel from the habit of attributing the sorrows of someone to his own sins and, in addition, to reveal the secret and measure of His love, which will be revealed on Calvary. The suffering that befell Job turned his soul upside down. Having lost his children, property and health, this Old Testament passion-bearer suddenly somehow began to comprehend God Himself in a different way: “I have heard about You by the hearing of the ear; “Now my eyes see You,” says the shocked Job to the Creator” (Job 42:5).”

The Holy Fathers pointed out several spiritual causes of human illness. “Do you really say that all illnesses come from sins? Not all, but most. Some happen from carelessness... Illnesses also happen to test us in goodness,” taught St. John Chrysostom. He, recalling the story of the righteous Job, explains: “God often allows you to fall into illness, not because He has abandoned you, but in order to glorify you more. So, be patient." “God sends other things as punishment, like penance, and others as discipline, so that a person will come to his senses; otherwise, to save you from the trouble that a person would get into if he were healthy; otherwise, so that a person shows patience and thus deserves a greater reward; other, to cleanse from some passion, and for many other reasons,” said St. Theophan the Recluse.
We also learn from the saints to trust in God, who sent us illness, patience in bearing suffering, and the correct attitude towards doctors from whom we seek help. In the prayer to the “Tsaritsa” icon, which cancer patients often resort to, there are the words: “Bless the minds and hands of those who heal us, may they serve as an instrument of the Almighty Physician Christ our Savior!” And Hieromartyr Arseny (Zhadanovsky) instructed: “He who is sick, have such a disposition of heart: everything is in the hands of God - both my death and my life. But you, Lord, have given everything for the service of man: You have given us both medical science and doctors. Bless, Lord, to turn to such and such a doctor and give him the strength to help me! I firmly believe that if You, Lord, do not bless me, then no doctor will help me.”

The Holy Fathers call upon one to show patience during illness not only by the absence of grumbling, but above all by thanksgiving: “From the bed of illness, bring thanksgiving to God... Thanks to gratitude the severity of the illness is dulled! Thanksgiving brings spiritual consolation to the sick!” - Ignatius (Brianchaninov) called.
Let us learn to sincerely pray to God for spiritual and physical health, and not only for ourselves and our loved ones, but for everyone who needs our help.

Prayer in illness

Lord God, Master of my life, in Your goodness You said: I do not want the sinner to die, but for him to turn and live.

For Yourself, O Lover of Mankind, appear now through the influx of Your Holy Spirit, and visit Your servant (Name), grant him health, strength and blessings with Your goodness: for from You is every good gift and every perfect gift. For You are the Physician of our souls, and we send up glory, thanksgiving, and worship to You with Your Originless Father and with Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Prayer to lovingly care for the sick

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God, Lamb of God, take away the sins of the world, Good Shepherd, who laid down Your soul for Your sheep, Heavenly Physician of our souls and bodies, heal every ailment and every ulcer in Your people! I bow down to You, help me, Your unworthy servant. Look down, O Most Merciful One, on my work and service, grant that I may be faithful in my life; Serve the sick, for Your sake, bear the infirmities of the weak, and please not yourself, but You alone, all the days of my life. Thou art most declaring, O Sweetest Jesus: “Inasmuch as thou hast done unto one of these least of these brethren of mine, thou hast done unto me.” Yes, Lord, judge me, a sinner, according to this word of Yours, so that I may be worthy to do Your good will for the joy and consolation of the tempted, the ailing Thy servant, whom You redeemed with Your honest Blood. Send down Thy grace upon me, the thorns that burn up the passions within me, calling me, a sinner, to the work of serving Thy Name; Without You we cannot do anything: visit the scourge of the night and tempt my heart, always standing at the head of the sick and overthrown; wound my soul with Your love, which endures everything and never falls away. Then I will be able, strengthened by You, to fight the good fight and maintain the faith, even until my last breath. For You are the Source of healings of soul and body, Christ our God, and to You, as the Savior of men and the Bridegroom of souls, coming at midnight, we send glory and thanksgiving and worship, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to the Mother of God

The Virgin Mary is considered the special patroness of motherhood and childhood. She, like a caring mother, cares for all the children of God. Icon Holy Mother of God should be hung in the children's room or near the crib.

Matrona of Moscow is most often asked for help about children. The holy righteous woman, being sick, took the suffering of others to heart. She bequeathed everyone not to hesitate, but to appeal to her, and she will send the desired improvement.

In order for a prayer to be accepted by God, one must cleanse the soul of past sins, confess to a priest, and begin Holy Communion.

It is advisable to have an image of Saint Matrona at home and hang it at the patient’s bedside. It is important not to neglect the usual treatment prescribed by the doctor. Prayer for recovery:

Ksenia of Petersburg

During the life of Blessed Xenia, women tried to bring their children to her for a blessing, sincerely believing that the touch of the old woman was miraculous. After the repose of the blessed old woman, prayers are as effective as her help in the world.

Petition to Xenia of Petersburg:

Saint Panteleimon

Saint Panteleimon was a doctor during his lifetime and after accepting Christianity he freely helped everyone in need. He healed not only with the help medicines, but also by prayer to God. The healer is known as the heavenly patron of all those who are sick and suffering bodily suffering. Icons of the heavenly physician can be seen not only in churches, but also in all hospitals.

They pray to the saint before an operation, in a serious illness, ask for a miracle and, through their prayers, receive it.

Nicholas the Wonderworker

It is not without reason that Saint Nicholas is known as the protector of children and gives gifts to obedient children. He really has the power to give the most expensive gift - health.

A prayer service at the icon of the saint mentioning the name of the patient will certainly have a positive effect on his condition. It is important not just to submit notes, but also to be present at the prayer service itself, prayerfully participating together with the serving priest and others.

Joint prayer has an enhanced effect, since the whole Church prays together. Prayer to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker:

A personal saint has special care for the baptized person under his care, so His prayers are more likely to be heard by God. A daily appeal to your saint sounds like this: “Saint (name), pray to God for me.”

According to religion, illness is a very good and beneficial thing. We should all thank God for illnesses, because he sends them to us to soften our hard hearts and point you towards God. Sometimes, when our own illnesses are not able to teach us anything (or rather, we are incapable of learning), God sends illnesses and suffering to the people closest to us, so that we come to our senses, correct ourselves, and thereby beg God for a cure for them. Remember, illnesses and deaths of loved ones are very often not their fault, but the result of your sins.

When someone is sick in your house, start treatment by asking about the health of the patient, buying a consecrated icon and a candle for health in the temple. And only then, go see a doctor.

Before you read a prayer for the health of your loved ones, you need to ask God to forgive you your sins, promise that you will improve (and really try to be better), ask God to beg forgiveness from those you have offended, and wish happiness to those who have offended you,

letting go of the feeling of anger from yourself.

The most strong prayer about health is read to Saint Panteleimon.

Saint Panteleimon lived a very difficult life: he healed hundreds and thousands of people, for which he was punished many times, and in the end, executed. But even after death, this saint does not cease to pray to God for our healing, because every believer knows that it is not medicine, not prayer, not a saint who frees us from illness, but only the Lord God.

The following Orthodox prayer for health should be read before the icon of the saint. Don't bother over trifles, and don't use it as a “prevention”. People turn to St. Panteleimon only in serious cases.

“Oh, great saint of Christ, passion-bearer and much-merciful physician Panteleimon!

Have mercy on me, a sinful slave, hear my groaning and cry, propitiate the heavenly, supreme Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from the illness that oppresses me.

Accept the unworthy prayer of the most sinful man above all. Visit me with a gracious visit.

Do not disdain my sinful sores, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; May I, healthy in soul and body, be able to spend the rest of my days, by the grace of God, in repentance and pleasing to God and be worthy of receiving a good end to my life.

Hey, servant of God! Pray to Christ God, that through your intercession he may grant health to my body and salvation to my soul. Amen".

Saint Matrona is a simple Russian woman who lived in the Tula region from 1881 to 1952. Her real name is Matrona Dmitrievna Nikonova. During her lifetime, she became an old woman and helped all those who came to her for help to get rid of physical and mental illnesses. The old woman had many popular “aphorisms.” One of them warned those who like to envy and judge others. Saint Matrona said that in any case, each sheep will be hung by its own tail.

After her death, the old woman was nicknamed Saint Matrona, and they began to ask her for health in their prayers.

“O blessed mother Matrono, with your soul in heaven before the Throne of God, resting with their bodies on the earth, and emanating various miracles from the grace given to you from above. Look now with your merciful eye on us, sinners, in sorrows, illnesses and sinful temptations, our waiting days, comfort us, desperate ones, heal our fierce ailments, from God we are allowed by our sins, deliver us from many troubles and circumstances, pray to our Lord Jesus Christ forgive us all our sins, iniquities and falls, in whose image we have sinned from our youth even to this day and hour, and through your prayers having received grace and great mercy, we glorify in the Trinity the One God, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever. Amen".
