Prayer before surgery for it to go away

The state of sin is unbearable for an ordinary person. Even if outwardly he may not show it, inside him there is a struggle between evil and good. The more serious the sin, the more spiritual strength it takes from the person who committed it.

In this case, even the onset of a mental disorder, for example, schizophrenia, is possible.

Prayer for schizophrenia will help the patient ease his mental anguish and recover. Prayerful support from strong-willed Christians helps overcome sin and, therefore, mental illness.

Master Almighty, Holy King, punish and do not kill, strengthen those who fall, raise up the overthrown, correct the bodily afflictions of people and, we pray to You, our God, visit your weak servant with Your mercy, forgive him every sin, voluntary and involuntary.

Hey, Lord, send down Your healing power from heaven, touch the body, extinguish the fire, tame passion and all lurking infirmities, be the doctor of Your servant (name),

Relatives pray for the patient while he is under the influence of anesthesia, so that he wakes up sooner.

May Your mercy be upon me.
Forgive me my sins in the name of Your Holy Son Jesus Christ.

There is no concept of schizophrenia in the Bible

Schizophrenia is quite difficult to cure. The fact is that this disease is characterized by an imbalance in the functioning of both hemispheres of the brain. In this case, the right hemisphere is overactive, and the left hemisphere, on the contrary, is underactive.

As a result, the patient lives in his own inner world. He can hear voices, see visions, etc.

A holy fool is a person who has received a blessing for the spiritual feat of foolishness. If this was not the case, it is quite possible that this is just a sick person.

It should be noted that the Orthodox view of schizophrenia is based on the fact that there is no reference to this disease in the Bible. However, it often refers to mental illness. However, they should not be associated with such a phenomenon as demonic possession.

A sinful person is already sick and this can manifest itself in the form of schizophrenia

The Fathers of the Church, as we see, believe that mental illnesses are comparable in nature to physical illnesses. Both are sent by God’s permission to man in order to assist him in the matter of salvation. And in this case, the same schizophrenia is a cross laid down by the Lord.

Despite this circumstance, the nature of mental illness is biological. It can be confirmed by various somatic or neurological reactions to harmful factors.

Such factors include strong noise, exposure to microwave fields, poisoning with neurotropic poisons, etc.

The spiritual component cannot be recognized as natural. She is sinful and the Lord can heal her according to his will.

The Fathers of the Church point to the fact that even healthy people may have a split in mental activity. The sinner hates his sin, but continues to commit it. The holy Apostle Paul said about this:

For this reason, O Mother of God, we resort to You, and looking at Your Most Pure Image with the Eternal Child held in Your hand, our Lord Jesus Christ, we bring tender singing to You and cry out: have mercy on us, Mother of God, and fulfill our request, for all that is Your intercession is possible, for glory is due to You now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen".

Second

“Oh, Most Holy Lady Theotokos! With fear, faith and love, falling before Your honorable icon, we pray to You: do not turn Your face away from those who come running to You. Pray, merciful Mother, to Thy Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, to preserve our country peacefully and to keep His holy Church unshakable from unbelief, heresies and schism.

There are no imams of any other help, no imams of other hope, unless You, Most Pure Virgin, are You the all-powerful Helper and Intercessor of Christians. Deliver all who pray to You with faith from the falls of sin, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, troubles and from vain death.

Four saints at once

The prayer is addressed to Matrona of Moscow, Saints Luke, Nicholas and Panteleimon. You can choose any patrons and address them in your own words. There is no special text. The following words are suitable for a sample:

“Oh, Elder Matrona, Luke of Crimea, Panteleimon the Healer and Nicholas the Wonderworker, I appeal to you and ask for your help. Protect God's servant (name). Help ensure that the operation is successful. I trust in your grace and condescension. Amen! Amen! Amen!"

Ask Christ our God to confirm His children in the spirit of right faith and piety. Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation.
Comfort for the grieving, healing for the ailing, return to the path of truth for those who have gone astray, blessing from a parent, upbringing and teaching for a child in the Passion of the Lord, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy. Grant us your blessing, so that we may get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

To Him belongs all glory, honor and power forever and ever. Amen".

Prayer for fear of surgery

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.

For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, His splash will overshadow you, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the 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, otherwise you will look at 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 approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways.

They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and 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 overcome him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Prayer before surgery “like a woman” to the Mother of God

Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady Theotokos the Virgin, these prayers, brought to You with tears from us, Your unworthy servants, who send up the singing of Your celibate image with tenderness, as if You yourself are here and heed our prayer.

For every request you fulfill, you alleviate sorrows, you give health to the weak, you heal the weakened and sick, you drive away demons from demons, you deliver the offended from troubles, you cleanse lepers and you are kind to little children:

Also, O Lady and Lady Theotokos, you free us from bonds and prisons and heal all kinds of varied passions:

For all things are possible through Thy intercession to Thy Son, Christ our God.

O All-Singing Mother, Most Holy Theotokos!

Do not cease to pray for us, Your unworthy servants, who glorify You and honor You, and who worship Your Most Pure Image with tenderness,

and those who have irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in You, the Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Amen.

Prayer for injuries, pain in the hands

This is a short text, but it is quite powerful. It is read with a request for the health of the parents or baby, or other loved ones. Thoughts are directed towards your problem. At the same time, a text is read through which a request for deliverance from diseases is heard. The person praying expresses hope in the mercy of the Mother of God, asking through her for forgiveness of Sins before the Lord.

Oh, Most Holy Lady Lady Theotokos, who showed a great miracle to Saint John of Damascus, as if he showed true faith - undoubted hope!
Hear us, sinners, before Your miraculous icon, fervently praying and asking for Your help: do not reject this prayer of many for the sake of our sins, but, as the Mother of mercy and generosity, deliver us from illnesses, sorrows and sorrows, forgive the sins we have committed, fill us with joy and joy to all who honor Your holy icon, may we joyfully sing and glorify Your name with love, for You are chosen and blessed from all generations forever and ever.
Amen.

Send this prayer to your loved ones

Prayer for Doctor/Surgeon Luke

Hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the merciful and humane Lord, to whom you now stand in the joy of the saints and from the face of an angel.

Ask Christ our God to confirm His children in the spirit of right faith and piety.

Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation.

Grant us your blessing, so that we may get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

To Him belongs all glory, honor and power forever and ever.

The Orthodox Church believes that mental illness is a cross laid down by the Lord

Schizophrenia, from the point of view of Orthodoxy, is a cross laid down by the Lord. However, in theology there are several points of view on this issue. Some theologians believe that human nature is to blame.

Venerable Anthony of Pechersk. Fragment of the Svensk Icon of the Mother of God. The Monk Anthony cared for a catatonic monk for three years

Catatonia is one of the types of mental illnesses that can serve as a symptom of the presence of schizophrenia in a patient.

Human nature is the physical state of his body. Orthodox Christians see nothing wrong with caring for people with mental illness, alleviating their condition.

For example, the Monk Anthony of Kiev-Pechersk spent three years caring for a monk who was suffering from a form of psychosis or catatonia. At the same time, he did not believe that he was possessed by a demon.

The Monk Anthony of Kiev-Pechersk cared for a monk suffering from catatonia for three years.

Both priests and laity studying the issue of “schizophrenia and the church” should study the book “Orthodox Pastoral Ministry” by Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern).

It says that there are states of the soul that are difficult to define by the categories of moral theology and which are not included in the concepts of good and evil.

Father Cyprian believes that such states do not belong to the ascetic area, but to the psychological one, and they develop from human nature.

Orthodox pastoral ministry. Professor, Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern). In order to understand the attitude of the Orthodox Church towards the mentally ill, it is worth studying the book “Orthodox Pastoral Ministry” by Archimandrite Cyprian (Kern)

An experienced priest is able to determine whether a person has a disease of the brain and psyche or whether his spiritual sphere has been destroyed by sin.

Elder Archimandrite Georgy (Lavrov) from the Danilov Monastery often referred those who approached him to a psychiatrist. Moreover, in some cases, he took people from the doctor to himself for spiritual care.

Brief prayers before surgery

Prayer “Three Angels Guide Me”

I am not the only one going to the table, three angels lead me there: the first of them accompanies me to the table, the second of them opens the door for me, the third of them saves my life.

I turn to you, Lord, asking for salvation for myself; Forgive me my sins, cover me with protection, have mercy and grant me life.

A short prayer to the Lord God

God, God of love, God of silence, condescension and mercy. Accept my tears, that Your Name may be glorified with the saints throughout the ages. Amen.

A short prayer to Jesus Christ

Blessed Jesus, quiet Jesus, Jesus, God of power, Jesus, torch of righteousness, Jesus, who redeemed us from death and delivered us from hell. Jesus, Son of God, do not leave us!

A short prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Virgin Mary, Rejoice, O Blessed Mary, the Lord is with You; Blessed are You among women and blessed is the Fruit of Your womb, for You have given birth to the Savior of our souls.

A short prayer to the Guardian Angel

Angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from God from heaven for my protection! I diligently pray to you: enlighten me today, save me from all evil, instruct me in every deed, and direct me on the path of salvation. Amen.

Prayer to four Saints at once

You can send prayers in your own words to all the Saints mentioned in the article. If you read the prayer in your own words, its power will not decrease. The main thing is to carry every word of prayer through your soul and heart.

The text of the prayer may be as follows:

Oh, Elder Matrona, Luke of Crimea, Panteleimon the Healer and Nicholas the Wonderworker, I appeal to you and ask for your help. Protect my loved one (name) from a medical error. Help ensure that the operation is successful. I trust in your grace and condescension. Amen! Amen! Amen!

What to do after a successful operation

After waking up from anesthesia, the patient should thank the Lord and the patron saints. How to express gratitude if the operation was successful:

a prayer service in church for yourself, relatives and doctors;
distribute candies and cookies to roommates and medical staff with a request to pray for health;
visit the relics of the invoked saint and thank you for your help.

If the treatment is successful, if possible, they donate money to cure other patients with the same illness or to the church.

If health problems continue, it means that the patient needs to repent of his sins, take communion, and continue to pray for recovery and forgiveness.

Prayers of loved ones

“Where two or three are gathered in My Name, there I am in the midst of them,” says Christ in the Gospel. This means that when a loved one is in the hospital, relatives and friends should add their voice to his prayer, then it will be more likely to be heard by God.

During the operation, prayer is said for the patient in church. The priest will not refuse a request to serve a special prayer service “Before a surgical operation,” which is located in the Serbian Breviary. It consists of the usual sequence “On the Sick” and a special prayer.

Not every church can have a Serbian Breviary. This will be an occasion to donate a book to the temple or make other efforts to organize a prayer service, which is also accepted by God.

There is a custom to order magpies in forty churches. This is done whenever possible.

Placed candles and Sorokousts have power only if they are accompanied by the prayer of the sick person and his loved ones.

Mental illnesses usually do not leave visible damage on the human body

A temple is a place that is visited by different people. Unfortunately, people suffering from mental illness also come here. With mental illness, it is outwardly very difficult to understand whether a person is sick or not.

The fact is that such an illness can occur secretly and from the outside it is quite difficult to determine whether a person is sick or not.

"Scene at the Court of Christian VII", painting by Christian Zaartmann (1873), depicting the Danish king suffering from schizophrenia. A person with schizophrenia may look no different from a healthy person

In the same case, when the disease is in the acute stage or its course is acute, the symptoms are quite clear. This:

rave;
hallucinations;
behavioral disorders;
emotional disorders in the form of mania and depression, etc.

Mental illnesses are very diverse and therefore there are a huge number of symptoms. As for schizophrenia, it is a mental illness manifested by typical personality changes.

A patient with this disease is unable to think correctly, make decisions, and communicate with other people. He may see hallucinations, not recognize himself as a person, he exhibits emotional disturbances, and there are structural disturbances in thinking.

Video: What is the Church’s attitude towards the treatment of mentally ill people? At 25 seconds, the author (Archpriest Vladimir Golovin, Bolgar) says that a sick person should, first of all, be treated in a hospital.

He is one of the authors of the Orthodox website My Spiritual Lighthouse and therefore his opinion can be trusted.

Modern science believes that schizophrenia is not one disease, but a whole group of psychoses, united under one term. A patient with schizophrenia must be under the supervision of a doctor.

As for the religious sphere, prayer support for such a patient is very necessary. One should not think that through prayer a person’s mental sphere will come into complete balance, but his condition will improve significantly.

How to correctly read a prayer before surgery

In order for your words addressed to God or the Saints to be heard, you must certainly believe in the help of divine powers. It is best to read the prayer together with loved ones. They may not be near you, but you should know for sure that they empathize with you and pray for your health.

If possible, visit the temple, light a candle to the saint, and pray in front of the images.

The following actions are also recommended:

While reading the prayer, make sure that no one disturbs you. Turn off the radio and TV, provide yourself with peace and privacy;
think about every word of the prayer, put your soul into them;
purchase an icon in a church shop and take it with you to the operation;
do not forget to pray for the health of the surgeon.

There is nothing difficult about prayers. But we must always remember that these are not simple words. They can change your life for the better if you approach prayer sincerely and heartily.

How to pray correctly

Before surgery, you should repent of your sins and take communion. Before praying at home for yourself or a relative, you need to light a candle for health in church and ask the priest to remember the name of the patient during the liturgy. If this is not possible, you need to put all your will to recovery into personal appeal. In the ward it is convenient to pray in front of the icon of the patron saint and read from the prayer book.

How to pray:

make it a rule to read morning and evening prayers;
if it is difficult to speak or your voice bothers your roommates, recite the text to yourself;
when preparing for surgery, read a short prayer 40 times, pray for the surgeon.

After the procedure, you need to thank the Lord, your patron saint, and continue to pray for a speedy recovery.
