Prayer to Panteleimon the Healer for health
Many prayers for health are directed to the healer Panteleimon, since he is considered one of the most powerful miracle workers and healers. One day on the street he saw a dead child who had been bitten by an echidna. Without thinking twice, the healer began to pray to God so that the child would come to life, and the echidna would take the disease for itself. And so it happened, since then, many people turned to him for help, and he became a follower of Christ.

Have mercy on me, the sinful servant of God (name), 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 cruel 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 ulcers, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; May I be healthy in soul and body, the rest of my days, with the help of God’s grace, I will be able to spend in repentance and pleasing God, and I will be worthy of receiving the good end of my life. Hey, servant of God! Pray to Christ God, that through your intercession he may grant me the health of my body and the salvation of my soul. Amen.

How can a Christian help a sick person?
Prayer for the health of the patient. How to read a prayer
It is possible to read the words of a prayer for the health of a person who has suffered from illness both within the walls of a church and at home, in front of holy icons. Requests for health and healing from a variety of ailments and serious illnesses can be submitted both for yourself and for your parents, children, husband, wife, your relatives and friends. There is only one mandatory requirement that must be fulfilled before turning to the saints with this request. You need to find out whether this person is baptized or not. It would be absurd to learn that it is forbidden to pray for the health of an unbaptized person. Of course, no one can tell you that you cannot pray for the health of a person who has not been baptized, however, in this case, the effectiveness of your prayer is very, very reduced.
Prayer service in the church
You can order such a prayer service either for every day, or for one month, or for forty days. In any of the above cases, all this greatly increases the likelihood of recovery for an ailing person.
Every prayer is a powerful energy message that has enormous positive power, giving us faith in healing and hope for a bright future. The prayer words we pronounce allow us to convey to the weak person, for whom we ask the Lord, a positive attitude, during which the health condition of the sick person, albeit gradually, begins to improve, and his illness begins to steadily recede.

Prayer is a way to heal the soul
In many cases, disease processes worsen due to the lack of mental peace and balance in patients - in this case we can say that the person’s soul hurts. A prayer for health, said repeatedly and with sincere faith, strengthens the mental state of a sick person, brings into his life the lost peace, harmony and inner balance, helps him survive various fears and doubts.
All believers most often address prayer words directly:
- to our Heavenly Father,
- to the Most Pure Virgin Mary,
- to the Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow,
- to Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The reasons why people turn with their fervent prayers for health to the Almighty and the Mother of God are understandable without any explanation. After all, in the hierarchical ladder of the Supreme spiritual forces they occupy the highest positions. The fate of all things on Earth rests in the firm and loving hands of our Lord. The Most Holy Virgin Mary, who gave our imperfect world the Savior, has always been, is and will be the intercessor of the weak. She always covers us all with her loving motherly wing.
Appeal to the Saints
Believers always bring their fervent prayers to Saints Matronushka of Moscow and Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker also because these saints are among the most beloved among Orthodox Christians.
Even during their lifetime, Blessed Matrona of Moscow and Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker gained fame through healing and alleviating the suffering of the infirm, bringing real miracles of healing into their lives. Evidence of these facts is provided by hundreds of thousands of stories that are recorded in church books, preserved in ancient scrolls, in Christian traditions and legends, and posted on the pages of Internet portals.
Prayer to the Moscow Matrona for health:
O blessed Mother Matrono, with your soul standing in heaven before the Throne of God, with your body resting on earth, and exuding various miracles by the grace given 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.

Prayer:
O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, pray to my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Protection of Your servants.
Mother of God, introduce me to the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your, Most Pure, heavenly protection. Amen
Reading rules
The most important principles of prayer are sincere faith and hope. A Christian, uttering divinely inspired words, must experience humility, but at the same time, faith in the Lord. A simple and mortal man places himself in the hands of God and faithfully appeals to the mercy of the Creator.
The basic rules relate to the fact that during prayer it is important to observe Orthodox ritual traditions. Christians turn to the Lord or saints in front of icons, cross themselves and bow at appropriate moments, carefully repeat the words of the text and are not distracted.
Prayer for health to the Lord
O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the inseparable Trinity, look kindly upon Thy servant (name), who is overcome by illness; forgive him all his sins; give him healing from his illness; restore his health and bodily strength; Give him a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and premium blessings, so that together with us he brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bountiful God and my Creator.
Most Holy Theotokos, through Your omnipotent intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of God’s servant (name).
All saints and angels of the Lord, pray to God for His sick servant (name).
Amen.
A prayer for the health of a sick child can be performed to any saint, so the choice is yours. The most important thing is your faith.
Is it possible to pray without a specific text, from yourself?
Of course you can. The most important rule: you need to do this sincerely, from the bottom of your heart. You can compose the text of the prayer yourself, based on the following rules:
- The prayer should contain the sentence “O Lord, help and heal my soul.”
- Conclude your message to the Lord with the phrase “All is the Lord’s will.” Amen".
- You can use the following phrases: “Deliver my soul from illness,” “Settle and heal my soul,” “Give me health, Almighty,” and “Forgive my sins.”
Turn to God, and he will definitely help you. Visualize: imagine that the Lord God has already helped you. You are happy and your body is healthy. But if it is difficult for you to do this ritual on your own, then you can turn to already written texts. They have a very strong and indestructible effect.
