Nowadays, people suffer from various diseases for a number of reasons. Most illnesses arise due to poor ecology, nerves, and fatigue. Some of them can be cured with medication, while others can be treated with surgery. But, unfortunately, there are also incurable ones. But even if a disappointing diagnosis is made, one must not give up. It is necessary to fight in all possible ways and believe in miracles. They actually can happen.
If you believe in the power of the Lord and the Holy Great Martyrs, then you can also pray for the health of your family and friends. It is prayer that gives strength in moments of sadness and grief, when the last rays of hope fade away.
There are a large number of prayers that are addressed to various Saints who help a person recover. Requests can be addressed to:
- Jesus Christ
- John of Kronstadt
- John the Healer
- Luka Krymsky
But in our article I would like to pay special attention to prayers to Saint Luke.
Prayer to Saint Luke of Crimea
St. Luke is one of the most revered Saints among believers. He is asked:
- About the health of relatives and close friends, acquaintances;
- About the healing of a child;
- About the successful conception of a baby;
- About healing from cancer and other deadly diseases.
When loved ones get sick, it’s simply unbearable to watch. In such a situation, we try to do everything possible and impossible to save the life of a loved one. After all, the main thing is not to be idle when every minute is precious.

You should look for any ways to solve the problem - the best clinics, experienced specialists. In addition, one must always remember that God sees everything and everyone. He will definitely help, you just have to ask for help.
Luke of Crimea is a Saint who achieved glory during his lifetime. He was a very talented surgeon. The Lord himself gave him the talent to save people's lives. Luke performed very complex operations, thereby curing hopelessly sick people.
He devoted his entire life to saving people, their healing, he gave them the most valuable thing that could be - life. So after his death, he helps every person who needs his support. And here is what the prayer for the health of the sick person sounds like:
“O all-blessed confessor, our holy saint Luke, great saint of Christ. With tenderness we bow the knee of our hearts, and falling before the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like the children of our father, we pray to you with all earnestness: hear us, sinners, and bring our prayer to the merciful and man-loving God, to whom you now stand in the joy of the saints and from the face of an angel . We believe that you love us with the same love that you loved all your neighbors while you were on earth.
Ask Christ our God to confirm His children in the spirit of right faith and piety: to the shepherds to give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: to observe the right of believers, to strengthen the weak and infirm in the faith, to instruct the ignorant, to reprove the contrary.
Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation: the establishment of our cities, the fruitfulness of the land, deliverance from famine and destruction, consolation for the afflicted, healing for the sick, return to the path of truth for those who have gone astray, blessing for the parent, blessing for the child in distress. The Lord's upbringing and teaching, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy.
Grant us all your Archpastoral blessing, so that if we have such prayerful intercession, we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms. Guide us on the path that leads to the villages of the righteous, and pray for us to the omnipotent God, in eternal life we will be worthy with you to constantly glorify the Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."
Prayer to the Lord God before surgery
Holy God Almighty, holy King, punishing and not destroying, supporting those who fall, raising those who fall, healing the bodily sorrows of people,
We beg You, our God, visit Your servant through Your mercy and weakness, forgive him all his sins, voluntary and involuntary.
Lord, send down Your healing power from heaven, touch the body, quench the fire, pacify the passions and all the weaknesses hidden in it; be a doctor to Your servant (name),
Raise him from the bed of sickness and from the bed of bitterness, make him whole and unharmed and give him to Your Church, favorable and fulfilling Your will,
For Yours is mercy and salvation, our God, and to You we give glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages, amen.
Prayer to Luke of Crimea for healing
We often call the victory of a person suffering from an incurable disease simply a miracle. We perceive his recovery as a gift from God and call it nothing other than real healing.

Even if you had to hear a terrible diagnosis of cancer, this is not a reason to panic and “throw yourself off the bridge.” We need to fight the disease and read the prayer to St. Luke every day. And he won't leave you in trouble. You can often find testimonies of those people who managed to be healed or those who know them. Cancer is not a death sentence, remember this.
Anyone can ask His Holiness for help for anyone. For example:
- mothers and grandmothers can ask for the child to be healed,
- children - about the healing of parents,
- girls and boys about the recovery of their other halves and friends.
You can also ask for yourself without remorse.
How to correctly read a prayer before surgery for yourself and a loved one
- First of all, you need to believe in God’s help and in the strength of the injured person, that the operation will definitely be successful - and it will be.
- For prayer to be more effective, all relatives and friends of the patient should gather and pray together. Everyone should be at home, but try to say the prayer at the same time.
- It is useful for relatives to visit church and pray there for their loved one. You should also light a candle for their health and give the church priest a card for the sick person.
- When you return home from church, pray in front of the icons you have.
- It is useful to pray in front of the image of the saint to whom you are turning. For greater power of prayer, you can immediately turn to all the saints to whom the prayers are written in the article. Icons with their images can be purchased in the church.
- A prayer for the patient before surgery should be said at home, with the TV and radio turned off, in privacy and silence.
- Think about every word of the prayer and put your heart and soul into it.
- Pray both during the operation (for success) and for the health of the surgeon. After a successful operation, thank the Lord God and the saints for their help.
Prayer to Luka Krymsky for conceiving a child
Children are our treasures, they decorate the life of every person, make it bright and filled with important meaning. But, unfortunately, not every woman manages to get pregnant quickly and effortlessly.
Some undergo many medical tests, try to change their lifestyle, but still cannot experience the happiness of motherhood. Then the prayer service to St. Luke can help you.
If you read prayers every day with an open soul and pure thoughts, then the Saint will definitely help you. And most importantly, sincerely believe that everything will work out for you, and so it will be. You will become a mother.

Prayer to Jesus Christ before surgery
Lord, forgive me, a sinner who disobeyed You and violated Your laws.
I am very sorry and ask for your forgiveness.
And help me survive the operation.
Please guide the doctors so that they do everything right and that their actions heal me.
And that after the operation I will recover and regain my health.
But, of course, Thy will be done.
Into Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, I commit my spirit and my life.
Please Almighty God bless me and have mercy on me.
Grant me, Lord, life and long days in Your presence.
May Your mercy be upon me.
Forgive me my sins in the name of Your Holy Son, Jesus Christ!
I place my hope and trust in You, my Lord and my God.
For truly You alone are the Christ, the Son of the Living God, who came into this sinful world to save us.
Your blessing is on the hands of the doctors, on what they should do.
Thy will be done, in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Now and ever and unto ages of ages.
Amen.

Prayer to Luka Krymsky before surgery
There are very few people who have not had to go under the surgeon's knife. And no matter what kind of surgical intervention it is, the patient will still feel fear and anxiety.
Even with ordinary appendicitis, people are nervous, not to mention more serious operations (for example, removal of tumors). Therefore, a patient who is awaiting surgery can calm himself down by reading a prayer to himself.
In addition, I would like to note that the doctors themselves also pray to Luka Krymsky when they face a difficult operation. It depends on them whether the patient will live or not.
Before, during and after surgery, your mother, husband or grandmother can pray for you. At the end of the operation, everyone who cares about the health and fate of the patient can ask for the patient’s recovery.
Great Martyr Luke of Crimea always comes to the aid of those who suffer; he leaves no one in trouble. Therefore, we should also be grateful to him and pray regularly, read him, go to church, especially on his memorial day, namely June 11. But even on ordinary days, do not forget about your Holiness.
Now you know what prayer should be used for recovery and healing of loved ones. So live and rejoice, may the merciful Lord be with you.
He still heals people today
Diseases are constantly near a person. Modern medicine has come a long way, but still not everything is within its power. And people hope for help from above, especially when something serious happens and surgery is needed.
So the sick pray to Saint Luke of Crimea to help the surgeons, to enlighten them at a critical moment, and to pray for them before the Lord. Many doctors ask the saint the same. They believe in intercession, the help of a great doctor and a beloved saint.

Prayer to Matrona of Moscow for help before surgery
O blessed Matrona, Mother of God, hear and accept us, sinners, praying to you, having learned throughout your life to accept and listen to all those who suffer and are sick,
and with faith and hope in Your intercession and help, those who resort to You, grant everyone quick help and miraculous healing;
May Thy mercy not weaken for us, unworthy, suffering in this eternal world, finding neither consolation, nor compassion in spiritual sorrows, nor help in bodily ailments;
He heals our diseases.
Deliver us from the temptations and seductions of the devil, who fights passions; help us carry our cross in life,
Help us to bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, to preserve the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have unshakable trust and hope in God and undying love for our neighbors;
Help us, when we leave this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven along with everyone who has pleased God,
glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
Amen.

Do not leave me, O my Guardian Angel, do not forget the mistakes of my youth and my past sins.
My hope rests in You;
You are my strength and my refuge.
Save me from the shackles of the sinner and from the malice of the evil spirit.
You are my patron, given to me in baptism.
Defeat my enemies who besiege me; enlighten my mind, wandering in the darkness; turn Your holy face to me, so that I may shed tears and pray before You.
Send me Your voice, my holy Angel, so that I may pray to You;
Lead me and I will fulfill your desire;
Show me the way and I will follow You.
But remember me, Holy Giver of my life, breathe into me a living feeling of Your love and present to the Lord the tears of my sorrow:
He will not despise my sacrificial tears, but in His mercy He will forgive me my sins.
Amen.

O Most Holy Theotokos, Mother of God!
Deliver us, servants of God (names), from the depths of sin and save us from sudden death and from all evil.
Grant us, Mother of God, peace and health, enlighten our minds and the eyes of our hearts to salvation, and grant us, Thy sinful servants, the Kingdom of Thy Son, Christ our God:
for His power is blessed with the Father and the Holy Spirit.
When relatives are sick - who to pray to?
Diseases affect the whole family; relatives must pray before the operation of a loved one. The person himself may be overwhelmed by fear, but the support of loved ones can encourage and support. It is not for nothing that many people feel that strength suddenly comes to them. Their source is the power of God; it’s just that a person is praying for you, who loves you very much, cares, and puts his whole soul into his words.
At such moments, the feeling of helplessness must recede, you must gather together all your faith and fortitude. Prayer before a child’s surgery is especially powerful. Children enjoy the special care of heaven, because they have pure souls, capable of still seeing and hearing God. Therefore, they can recover very quickly and again feel all the joy of life.
- How to pray correctly so that God hears your prayer
- Prayer for everything to be fine - find here
- Prayer before starting any business -
You should pray to the Mother of God for your child. It doesn't matter how this is done. Choose your favorite - the Queen of Heaven alone. It’s good to read akathists, one a day. You also need to give alms. You can and should tell everyone you know at the temple to pray, especially during the operation. Collective prayer truly works miracles.
On the appointed day, you need to have a good rest and not torment yourself. You shouldn't think about bad things. Remember how great God is, calmly surrender into His hands. It is important to prepare your soul - to let go of all negativity, to wish peace and goodness to everyone. Before the operation, pray to the Guardian Angel, the Mother of God, and the Lord.

There are short canonical appeals (Virgin Mary, Rejoice; Jesus Prayer) - repeat them to yourself. Questionable texts such as the “dreams of the Virgin Mary” should be avoided because they are rejected by the Church. These are not prayers, but a meaningless set of words; is it worth wasting energy on them? May God's blessing be with you!
Prayer before the icon of the Mother of God “Kazan” before surgery
First prayer
O Most Pure Virgin Mary, Queen of heaven and earth, exalted by angels and archangels, purest of all creatures, Most Pure Virgin Mary, good helper of the world, inspiration for all people and deliverance in all their needs.

O most compassionate and merciful Virgin Mary, most pure Mother of God!
Look, Lady, at your people:
For we sinners cannot imagine any other help than to You and Christ our God who was born from You.

You are the protection of the afflicted, the joy of the afflicted, the refuge of the weak, the refuge of the widow, the glory of the virgin, the joy of the afflicted, the visitation of the sick, the healing of the weak and the salvation of sinners.
Therefore, Mother of God, we come to You and, looking at Your Immaculate Image with the Child Jesus Christ, our Lord, holding on Your hand, we humbly sing and cry out to You:
Have mercy on us, Mother of God, and fulfill our request, for everything is possible through Your intercession, for glory belongs to You now and always and unto the ages of ages.

Second prayer
O Most Holy Theotokos!
With fear, faith and love, we fall before Your holy icon and pray that You do not turn Your face away from those who come to You.
Pray, merciful Mother, Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, to preserve our country in peace and to keep Your holy Church unshakable from unbelief, heresy and schism.
For we cannot find any other help, no other hope, except in You, Most Holy Virgin, powerful Helper and Intercessor of Christians.
Deliver all those who pray to You with faith from fallen sins, from the machinations of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows and troubles, and from vain death.
