Prayer for insomnia in an adult: which one to read

I began to read a prayer in the evenings for insomnia, because due to the lack of quality sleep, my mental state had become completely unstable. I tossed and turned in bed for a long time, tried to breathe regularly, drank soothing tea and even mild antidepressants.

But all this did not solve my problem - as soon as I stopped taking the pills, the insomnia returned. In the morning I got up irritated, angry, and not getting enough sleep. In desperation, I turned to God and asked him to help me: as a result, a decision arose within me - to read prayers to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker every evening, by candlelight, in front of the image of the saint.

The first time I prayed for a very long time - I read aloud the familiar canonical prayer to St. Nicholas many times. Calm came in my soul, all worries and worries flew away and were forgotten. That evening, for the first time in many weeks, I fell asleep quickly and very soundly.

The influence of prayer on illness

Any disturbances in a person’s psychological state, including stressful situations, neuroses, fears that develop into phobias, sleep disturbances and depression, lead to exhaustion of the nervous system and the entire human body. An exhausted and weakened body is unable to resist various exogenous and endogenous factors affecting the functioning of the brain and spinal cord, which is fraught with the development of serious psychological and physiological ailments.

Sleep is a vital physiological need of every person. During rest, the so-called reboot of brain activity occurs: the body relaxes, peace and tranquility sets in, and the functioning of all internal organs and systems improves.

A person deprived of the opportunity for normal, adequate rest and quality sleep experiences serious mental disorders. If you don’t fight insomnia, you can soon not only develop a weakened immune system, an exhausted nervous system, but also dozens of various other diseases.

According to psychologists, the main causes of sleep disturbances are:

deviations in the functioning of the nervous system;
mental disorders;
mental stress;
presence of chronic diseases;
excitability and anxiety of mental activity;
lack of proper rest;
change of usual environment;
addictions, including alcohol, tobacco and drug addictions.

Trying to relax and improve sleep, people resort to various methods: walking in the fresh air late in the evening, taking a bath with the addition of soothing aromatic oils, warm milk with melted honey, a glass of their favorite wine. Psychologists recommend taking medications that relieve mental stress and allow the body to relax. However, often drug treatment only leads to aggravation of the situation.

Few people know that you can improve your sleep patterns with the help of prayer for insomnia. In the Orthodox faith, there are many prayers with the help of which Christian believers ask our Savior Jesus Christ, the Most Pure Virgin Mary, holy saints and guardian angels for the granting of health and healing from various psychological and physiological ailments.

The Orthodox prayer for insomnia is read during the evening prayer rule. When reading the sacred text, the worshiper finds inner peace and tranquility, thoughts become pure and bright, and the body prepares for the deep stage of sleep.

The prayer for relief from insomnia reads:

Our Savior Jesus Christ and the Mother of God.
Reverend Irinarch of Rostov and Alexander of Svir.
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker.
To the Youths of Ephesus.

Seven youths sleeping in Ephesus, whose names were Maximilian, Antoninus, Dionysius, John, Martinian, Jamblichus and Exacustodian, were walled up alive in a cave, where they slept for several centuries in a row. In the Orthodox faith, the Youths of Ephesus are revered as healers of life-giving sleep.

A Christian believer can read a petition for deliverance from insomnia both for himself and for a small child suffering from sleep disorders.

Prayer for insomnia to Saint Nicholas

Nicholas the Wonderworker helps with a variety of problems and misfortunes, including lack of sleep. Pray to this saint, feel support and help from him, and you will be able to fall asleep well in the evenings, without worrying about your affairs and worries.

You can read an akathist to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker or any canonical prayer addressed to the saint. It is best to read the prayer three times, thinking about every word. It is known that during his lifetime, Nicholas the Wonderworker was distinguished by his extraordinary love for people and perceived their troubles as his own.

After his death, he continues to help Christians and responds very sensitively and attentively to all prayer requests. Therefore, do not be afraid to ask a saint for help!

After reading the canonical prayer, tell Saint Nicholas about your problem, lack of sleep, your well-being and experiences, ask him to support you in difficult times and help you improve your sleep pattern.

After prayer, do not forget to make yourself a comfortable bed - so that you feel comfortable and cozy, ventilate the room well. Consider that God always protects those who love him and carefully helps all who turn to him for help. Have a good night's sleep!

Prayers for insomnia

If you sleep poorly and lightly, if you have frequent periods of insomnia, then congratulations - you are my real brother, although a brother in misfortune. Whatever you say, for as long as I can remember, I have always had problems with sleep, falling asleep and the amount of sleep. Haha, some people inherit cars, but I inherited insomnia.

It seems to me that I have always struggled with insomnia - either I counted sheep, then I drank tinctures and even practiced meditation with relaxation, and each time the “battle” went on with varying degrees of success. Sometimes I got the upper hand, sometimes insomnia got the better of me, but I always tried to approach this problem from all sides, that is, comprehensively - one thing didn’t work, another will work. So, my brother (or maybe sister), I suggest you also take on the “heavy artillery” - prayers for insomnia. Who knows? With faith everything is possible.

We know that in the midst you were begged by the brethren, like a gentle lamb, that you returned to your monastery and settled in that hut, like hard adamant, arming yourself with patience against the invisible demonic hordes and your visible enemies.

Prayer for insomnia to the seven holy youths of Ephesus

During times of persecution, seven ardently believing youths, without water or food, were walled up alive in a cave. 200 years passed, and it so happened that construction began in these places. The builders accidentally unwalled the entrance to the cave and at that moment the Lord revived the youths. They woke up as if from a dream. And as legend says, they were “shining with beauty.” Having learned about the miracle of the resurrection, the emperor hurried to the holy youths. After talking with him, the holy youths fell asleep again, but before the General Resurrection.

Prayer

About the wonderful holy seventh day of the seventh day, praise to the city of Ephesus and the hope of the whole universe!

Look from the heights of heavenly glory at us, who honor your memory with love, and especially at the Christian infants, entrusted to your intercession by their parents.

Bring down upon her the blessing of Christ God, saying: leave the children to come to Me. Heal those who are sick in them, comfort those who mourn; Keep their hearts pure, fill them with meekness, and in the soil of their hearts plant and strengthen the seed of the confession of God, so that they may grow from strength to strength. And all of us, your holy icon of the upcoming servants of God (name), and those who pray warmly to you, vouchsafe to enhance the Kingdom of Heaven and glorify with silent voices of joy there the magnificent name of the Most Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.
