Health is the basis of our lives, it helps us realize our plans, find a job we love and realize it, build harmonious family relationships. However, this does not always work: quite often, illness often visits family members, not allowing them to escape from the circle of problems. If an illness has gripped the family, you can turn to prayer for the health of the family to our Lord and the saints.
At the same time, it is important to understand that the result of an unjust life and accumulated sins can be an endless series of diseases. Therefore, before asking for health, it is necessary to repent of your sins and ask for forgiveness. This will become possible if the person praying sincerely realizes his sins and sincerely repents.
Prayers to the Lord
O Lord, Almighty God, look at us, your sinful and unworthy children, who have sinned against You, who irritate Your kindness, who have brought Your righteous wrath upon us, who have fallen into the abyss of sin. You see, Lord, our weaknesses and mental pain, You know the corruption of minds and hearts, the impoverishment of faith, the departure from Your commandments, the increase in family discord, separation and discord in the church, You see the pain and pain, ours, from illness, from iron, from drowning, from a protracted internal war. But, merciful and philanthropic Lord, give understanding, insist and have mercy on us, unworthy. Correct our sinful life, pacify the strife and unrest, collect the waste, unite the disparate, give peace and prosperity to our country, free us from serious problems and misfortunes.

Not everyone understands Church Slavonic. Although the petition is short, it does not hurt to explain what it is about.
“Most Blessed Lady,” these words begin the appeal in which a Christian asks for protection and mercy for loved ones. This expresses deep reverence for the Mother of God as the patroness of family well-being. She has such holiness that she has received every blessing from the Lord. That is why Christians call her their Lady, as she is in many ways superior in the spiritual sense.
- Believers ask the Mother of God to take the entire family - spouse and children - under her protection. The protection of higher powers is necessary for everyone, because in essence a person is weak, unable to resist fate. There is a request to protect the house from thieves, fires, evil spirits and other troubles.
- The family should always stay together, because this is the meaning of its creation. Therefore, a prayer is made here so that loved ones do not suffer separation. As a rule, it is caused by unfavorable circumstances.
- Another terrible punishment for Christians is death, which can occur before a person has time to repent of his sins. Coming before God with a guilty conscience - what could be worse? No one would wish this on themselves or their loved ones.
- Prayer to the Mother of God for well-being in the family;
- Look here - prayer for the family of Peter and Fevronia - read and listen;
- Prayer for scandals and quarrels in the family: .
Prayer to the Holy Trinity
If illnesses and illnesses do not leave your neighbors, you can turn to the Holy Trinity for protection and help with prayer for the health of your family. This is an effective prayer, but it must be said by the baptized and ask for help also from those baptized in the Orthodox faith.
O merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, revered and glorified in the indivisible Trinity, look gracefully at your servant (name), overcome by illness; forgive him all his iniquities; give him healing from his illness; restore his health and physical strength; Give him a long and prosperous life, your peaceful and exemplary blessings, so that together with us he will offer grateful prayers to You, the Blessed God and my Creator.
Most Holy Theotokos, through Your almighty intercession, help me to pray to Your Son, my God, for the healing of God’s servant (name). All saints and angels of the Lord, pray to God for the sick servant (name). Amen.
Powerful prayer for family
Wedding is one of the seven Sacraments of the church; it shows how valuable the union of two people is in the eyes of the Creator. Jesus Christ proved this by performing a miracle at Cana during the wedding feast. It was there that he turned water into wine, at the request of his Mother. Therefore, today prayers for the family are read not only to God, but to the Most Holy Theotokos.
The Virgin Mary knew very well how much a woman needed a reliable intercessor, someone who could take on everyday issues, provide support, and protect her from ill-wishers. Joseph the Betrothed became just such a good husband for her.
Even though Saint Joseph was only the guardian of the Virgin and Child, he fulfilled the assignment given by God with all zeal - after all, he managed to keep the divine child safe when Herod ordered the destruction of all infants.
There is an icon of the Holy Family, where Mary and Joseph are depicted together with Christ. In front of this image, you can pray to the Mother of God, reading petitions to strengthen the family.
Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary
The Mother of God always helps in difficult situations, and if the problems concern the health of the family and loved ones, then the words of prayer, spoken sincerely and with great feeling, will not go unanswered. His words will be heard and help and support will certainly be provided.
Oh, Most Holy Theotokos, Most Holy Mother of Christ the Savior, all who suffer, Joy, visit the sick, the weak veil and intercessor, widows and orphans, patroness, sad mothers, reliable comforters, weak children for strength and all the defenseless are always ready and faithful to help! You, O merciful one, are given by Almighty grace to intercede and save everyone from pain and illness, but you have endured severe pain and illness, looking at the unjustified suffering of your beloved Son and the crucifixion on the cross, the weapon predicted by your Simeon is passing away. So, O Mother, beloved children, listen to the voice of our prayer, comfort us in the pain of those who, as a faithful intercessor of joy: stand at the throne of the Most Holy Trinity, at the right hand of Your Son, Christ our God; For this, with sincere faith and spiritual love, we fall to you, like a Queen and a Lady, and we dare to cry out to you in a psalm: listen, children, and look, and listen to your ear, listen to our prayer, and it will save us from problems and current pain; You have heard the prayers of all the faithful, such as those who wept, those who rejoiced, and those who gave peace and consolation to their souls. Here is our misfortune and our pain: show us your mercy, send comfort to our wounded pain, show and surprise us sinners with the riches of your mercy, give us tears of repentance to cleanse our sins and extinguish the wrath of God, but with a pure heart, pure conscience, and we resort to Your intercession and intercession with unfounded hope: accept, merciful Mother of God, our fervent prayer offered to You, and do not reject us, unworthy of Your mercy, but give us deliverance from pain and illness, protect us from all hostility and human slander, awaken us as a constant help for all the days of our lives, because under Your maternal protection we will always remain resolute and preserved by Your intercession and prayers to Your Son and our God Savior, All glory, honor and worship with His beginningless Father and through Holy Spirit, from now on and forever and ever. Amen.
If someone in the family suffers from a long-term and serious illness, you can turn to the Mother of God with the words of prayer in front of the icons “Joy of All Who Suffer” or “Tenderness.” The words of prayer are read in especially difficult cases.
Prayer before the icon “Joy of All Who Sorrow”
This prayer must be read in front of the icon, after saying words of repentance and requests for forgiveness of sins. The image is glorified by numerous healings of those who pray for themselves or loved ones. Therefore, they turn to her if they need help to get rid of physical and mental illnesses or reduce their severity. The icon gives strength to overcome suffering, despair and pain. It is noted that even terminally ill people find real support in prayer.
O Most Holy Lady and Mother of God, Supreme Cherub and sincere Seraphim, Chosen Son of God, Joy of all who suffer! Comfort us who are in pain, because you have no other refuge or help. You are united in our joy, Intercessor, and as the Mother of God and Mother of Mercy, who are at the Holy Trinity, you can help us: no one flows to you, who is happy. Listening to us, now, on the day of mourning in front of your image, falling and praying to you with tears: turning away the mourning hanging over us and crying on this day of life, on this day and all the time of your soul, our God was never there, all glory, honor and worship is due to him, with his Fatherly Principle and with his Most Holy, good and life-giving Spirit, from now on and forever and ever and ever and ever. Amen.
How to pray for health correctly
Therefore, a Christian should be concerned about the question not of how to read the prayer text correctly, but of how to become purer from sins, how to change our lifestyle so that the Heavenly Father and the world of saints hear our prayers. That is, the power of prayer is determined by the purity of our thoughts and actions.
No matter what prayer we choose for the health of our loved ones and relatives, without internal changes our prayer work will be in vain, moreover, it can give rise to claims to God: “I pray, but You do not fulfill my requests.” This is more reminiscent of an elephant and a pug, rather than communication between a Parent and a child.
In other words, if you do not feel the Lord as your Parent, it will be impossible to build a dialogue, because God does not love everyone, He loves everyone. Each of us, no matter what we are, is His beloved child. And this is His attitude towards us, but what is our attitude towards Him, you need to give yourself an honest answer to this question.
And only after such a deep personal analysis and reflection can one get an answer to the question: why prayers often remain unanswered. Prayerful work is the main, serious matter of everyone who wants to be an Orthodox Christian.
Which prayer should you choose to help your family and friends with health issues? Prayer books and specially selected brochures with prayers for healing help you find the answer. In fact, saints do not “specialize” in any one area. This misconception was born due to the formation of magic in Orthodoxy.
Magic is a form of misunderstanding of human communication with the spiritual world. Magicians, psychics, and fortune tellers “succeeded” in this. Be careful, it is said about such people: wolves in sheep's clothing. Their goal is not only to pump finances out of your problem, but also to download vital energy.
If you study the experiences of people affected by such communication, you will be convinced of this many times over. If, out of ignorance or for some other reason, you turned to such persons, be sure to bring this sin to confession. Remember the story of Saint Cyprian and Justinia. Saint Cyprian, being a famous magician and sorcerer, communicated with the devil himself, and was almost his spiritual son. How this communication ended, and how he became a saint, find out from his life. After this, you are unlikely to have the thought of contacting these people.
In addition to the prayer book, it is recommended to pray according to the Psalter. With constant reading of the Psalter, an internal spiritual restructuring of the believer occurs. But it is important to understand what you are reading. Most of the Psalter was written by King David, his 50th penitential psalm, imbued with repentance for his unseemly actions.
Before you begin to pray according to the Psalter, purchase explanations for it so that the text becomes clear. Study the history of writing the Psalter, watch a video about this amazing book. History is an applied science that helps to establish those lost spiritual communications that are necessary for the development of the soul.
In the monastic monasteries, a religious service is read, which is called the Inexhaustible Psalter, that is, prayer is performed by the monks around the clock. It is good, in addition to your own prayer efforts, to submit names for health to such a request. As a rule, it can be ordered for 40 days, six months and a year. The power of prayer is determined by the attitude towards it.
You need to learn not to read a prayer, but to do it. To do this, familiarize yourself with the practice and advice of the holy fathers. The centuries-old experience of people faithful to Christ is relevant at all times. One of the qualities of God is His immutability and constancy. This means that prayer discipline is required of us if we want to be heard by Him and His helpers.
Prayer before the icon of “Tenderness”
You can also pray for the health of the whole family in front of the “Tenderness” icon. There are two possible options for its execution: with a child in her arms and without him, when the hands of the Virgin Mary are crossed on her chest. Each of them is effective; words addressed with special feeling to the Mother of God will be heard. But if requests concern the health of children, it is better to say them in front of the icon where the Mother of God is holding a child in her arms. Contemplation of the image fills the soul with peace and joy. She is considered “feminine” because women most often turn to her with words of prayer,
O Most Holy Master, Mother of God, I must! Accept our unworthy prayers, save us from the suggestions of evil people and desperate death, give us repentance to the end, so that our prayers are merciful and joyful, grant me in sad pain. And save us, Lady, Mother of God, from all troubles, misfortunes, pain, illness and all evil, and grant us, your sinful workers, who have a reason to become in the second coming of the coming of the Son of Christ, eternal life with all the saints forever. Amen.
Prayer to Matrona of Moscow
They pray to Mother Matrona on various occasions in order to solve the problems that arise in our lives. One of the main things is to take care of your family’s health and get rid of serious illnesses and illnesses. You must pray and ask Matrona for help in front of her icon. At the same time, the words addressed to the saint must be sincere, and the person praying must believe that his requests will be heard and everything will change for the better. In this case, you can pray not only according to the canonical text of the prayer, but also formulate them in your own words. The main thing is that they come from a pure heart.
O blessed mother Matrona, listen and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, accustomed throughout your life to greet and listen to all the suffering and suffering, with faith and hope for your intercession and help to those who come running, first aid and miracle healing for everyone; May your mercy not become a deficiency even now, for us, unworthy, restless in this rapidly changing world and nowhere to find consolation and compassion in mental torment and help in bodily ailments: heal our illnesses, free from the temptations and torments of the devil, who passionately fights , help me carry my life’s Cross, bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, keep the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, have strong hope and hope in God is sincere love for your neighbor; Help us, after our departure from this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven with all who have pleased God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father in the Trinity, the glorified Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, for always and never. Amen.
Prayer in Weakness
There is a prayer for every weakness of your neighbor. It is read as someone who is sick, relaxed, or suffering. The text goes like this:
Master Almighty, Physician of souls and bodies, humble and exalt, punish and again heal, visit our infirm brother (name) with Thy mercy, stretch out Thy arm, full of healing and healing, and heal him, restore him from his bed and infirmity, rebuke the spirit of infirmity, leave from him every ulcer, every disease, every wound, every fire and shaking. And if there is sin or lawlessness in him, weaken, forsake, forgive, for the sake of philanthropy.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
The health of family members will be helped by a prayer in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, whose good deeds and selfless help to the suffering are known to all Orthodox Christians. It is better to pray in church, but if this is not possible, then you can do it at home in front of the icon of St. Nicholas.
Oh, Saint Nicholas, Saint of the Lord, our eternal protector and helper everywhere in all troubles. Help me, the servant of God (name), sad and sinner, in real life, ask the Lord to give me remission of my sins, because I have sinned with deeds, words, thoughts and all my feelings. Help me, damned, holy sorcerer, ask the Lord for health, deliver me from torment and trials. Amen.
The shortest prayer
Reading the morning rule, a Christian encounters this prayer. Those who go to church and regularly read the rule have guessed what it is about. For others, here is the text of this prayer:
Lord save and have mercy on my spiritual father (name), my parents (names), relatives, bosses, benefactors (names) and all Orthodox Christians.
This prayer for the health of relatives and friends (living) is read with a list of their names, as we can see. A similar prayer exists for repose.
Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer
This saint is known for her healing skills and selfless help to those who came to her in her earthly life. He does not despise those who need support, even in Heaven.
Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon, merciful imitator of God! Look with mercy and listen to us sinners fervently praying before your holy icon. Ask the Lord God, who came to Heaven from the Angel, for forgiveness of our sins and misdeeds. Heal the ailments of the soul and body with God’s work, now remember, all Orthodox Christians who come to you for intercession are coming here. We ourselves, because of our fierce sin, are possessed by many troubles, and not with the help and consolation of our mother, but we resort to you, as if we were given the grace to pray for us and strive for everyone and every disease. Grant to all of us, through your holy prayers, health and well-being of soul and body, cultivation of faith and piety, and everything that is necessary for temporary life and salvation. For yea, because you have been worthy of your great and rich mercies, we glorify you and the giver of all blessings divine in the Holy One, our God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
How prayer affects illness
Why do people resort to prayer during illness? Disease is a blockage of weak areas of the aura. If the aura is clean, then energy moves freely through energy channels. Stagnation of energy and blocks lead to illness, as well as a general deterioration of the condition.
Prayer is the most accessible way to remove blocks and cleanse the aura of a sick person.
Even doctors and scientists recognize the power of turning to Higher powers, without knowing how to scientifically explain the effect of prayer words. By reading prayers, even hopelessly ill people recover. Therefore, in the crazy cycle of affairs, you should not neglect an affordable and powerful healing remedy.
Every person needs to remember that negative statements, bad thoughts and actions pollute our energy field. Nothing passes without a trace, this has long been known.
Try to remember: only positivity “works” to benefit our energy, and therefore our health.
These are the negative phenomena that pollute our energy field:
- Conflicts, irritation, rage. They will definitely affect the integrity of the subtle body.
- Grievances that were not forgiven. This is the most dangerous type of negativity, which can even lead to cancer. Old grievances that corrode the soul are especially dangerous. Don’t accumulate, don’t hold on to old grievances for years. Forgive everyone, even the most sophisticated enemies, save your soul.
- If you are burdened by memories of past joyless experiences and cannot let them go, then your body loses energy. Let go while learning valuable lessons.
Knowing the reasons that pollute the energy field, try to avoid them, then you will be healthy. If the burden of life is too heavy, try saying a prayer. (You can read one prayer several times). Very soon you will feel how your soul brightens, how grievances go somewhere, the burden of the past no longer seems so exorbitant.
