Prayers for healing, how to read them correctly and ask for them correctly?
They address the saints in Russian and any other language. In most cases, you can find the translation you need. You should pray in accordance with the recommendations:
- Preparation. It is necessary to fast for at least 3 days, but this is not a mandatory rule, but only advice that will allow you to correctly perform the ritual of turning to the Lord. You still need to confess and take communion. However, it is not necessary to do this every time before turning to the Almighty. It is enough to confess and take communion at the initial stage of the illness. If the patient has the strength, only then this ritual is repeated more often at will.
- If possible, you should regularly visit the temple, where you will have the opportunity to pray in front of the icons. At home, you are also allowed to turn to saints. In this case, it is necessary to place a candle in front of the icon. The correct continuation of the ritual is to read the text of the appeal to God while kneeling. However, this is also not a strict requirement. The clergy express the idea that you can pray in any position: standing, sitting and even lying down. In this case, it is not the physical form that is important, but the spiritual message. However, the feeling of discomfort (as when turning to God while kneeling) enhances the effect of prayer for your health and healing.
- You need to read the text with reverence, with all your heart.
- It is important to repent of sins.
- While reading, you should thank the Lord for everything that has been received in life, as well as for the trials that you have to go through.
- Another recommendation to help improve your health is to focus on the problem of illness, as well as health and healing. Internal concentration on this will help increase the power of thought.
- It is important to get into a prayerful mood. This will help you concentrate on prayer when you are sick for your own recovery.
It must be remembered that the sick person should not overly concentrate on recovery, caring only about the physical body. Thus, a disease can be a consequence of incorrect behavior or one’s own mistakes. Also, poor health is often a signal that a person is not passing the tests given by the Lord. In both cases, excessive concentration on recovery will negate any positive results obtained from correctly passing the test of the disease.
It is necessary to ask the Lord for help to endure the test, and not to use all our might to heal the sick person. The price for such a cure will be a deterioration in the state of the soul. The result can be unpredictable: in the future this person will develop a more serious illness (for example, cancer), asking for recovery for himself here and now may even die for various reasons.
Worst case scenario:
The next generation - the children or grandson of this person - will have to pay for the sins that the person praying for his health has not repented of.
If, during an illness, the person asking is able to accept this state of affairs, lives with good thoughts, does not despair or become discouraged, accepts all his hardships with dignity, without regretting the past and without fear of the future, only in this case can he be healed. The Kingdom of God will open before such a person.
Panteleimon the Healer
The name of the Saint speaks for itself. During his earthly life, he chose for himself the path of a doctor. The saint met an Orthodox priest, who introduced him to the faith. One day the young man made a vow that he would give his life completely to God if he saw a miracle of healing with his own eyes.
After praying, he witnessed how a child who had died from a snake bite came to life. After this, the saint’s life changed radically: he was baptized and changed his name. Now he helped sick people without taking any money for it.
The name of the Saint speaks for itself
Local doctors became bitter against Panteleimon: all the people went to the saint, thus depriving secular doctors of their earnings. They reported him to the emperor. But even here the saint did not deviate from his faith, proving in practice its truth. He entered into a duel with a pagan medic. The emperor told both of them that whichever of them would become a healer of a terminally ill person, his faith would be correct and true. Panteleimon won, curing the patient.
This incident prompted many people to turn to Christ and be baptized. But the emperor did not like this and he became even more embittered against the saint, beginning to persecute him.
The saint was subjected to all sorts of torments during his lifetime: he was thrown into the sea with a stone around his neck, he was wheeled around, he was hanged on a tree, he was thrown to be torn to pieces by wild animals. But nothing helped the emperor achieve his goal: Panteleimon remained alive.
Panteleimon still helps many people
And only after the Lord himself called him to Himself from heaven, the Saint asked to cut off his head. To the surprise of many, after the execution, not blood flowed from his body, but milk. The saint's body was buried by Christians after it failed to burn in the fire. Until now, Panteleimon helps many people who turn to him with their prayer.
Which saint should one turn to for help if one is suffering for oneself?
The patient can read the Our Father - this is the main Orthodox prayer. It exists in different versions: in Russian, English, Armenian and other languages. But in order to strengthen faith, you can read special prayers for healing directed to the Lord and various saints. Most often, people turn to the Heavenly Father, the Most Holy Theotokos, Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Blessed Eldress Matrona of Moscow, and Panteleimon. This is due to the fact that the saints listed are at the top of the hierarchical ladder.
Turning to the Lord is a natural impulse, since he is the Father of all living things, he has the power to help pass any tests, and this is what you should pray for when turning to him. The All-Blessed Mother of God is the patroness of all the weak and suffering. Matrona of Moscow, Panteleimon and Nicholas the Wonderworker are the most revered after the Lord and the Blessed Virgin Mary.
For this reason
They are also often approached with requests for help in acquiring health.
You can also appeal to other saints, because the power of the holy word surpasses any medicine, but the result can often not be noticed immediately, so sometimes there is disbelief in the healing powers of the holy spirit, the Lord, Jesus Christ. It is important not only the choice of the text of the appeal, but also the message that is put into the words. If you read the most powerful prayer for your own health, but at the same time there is emptiness in your soul, your head is occupied with other thoughts, then there will be no result, even when the patient asks our Heavenly Father for help. It is also not enough to simply focus on recovery. Only the right thoughts, the depth of feeling of what is read will allow him to be healed.
Preface
For spiritual help in everyday life and in various difficult circumstances, Orthodox Christians have heavenly intercessors - saints. Many people who asked for help with sincere faith and great hope certainly received it.
When praying to the saints for healing, one cannot reject the help of doctors. Obvious miracles are rare. As a rule, they occur to make a person or the people around him believe in the existence of God. In other cases, the Lord acts through doctors. Through doctors it helps in healing our ailments.
Therefore, the words “I will pray, and the Lord will heal me. I won’t go to the clinic” - a real provocation before God. A person who neglects doctors actually rejects God's help. And thereby deprives himself of help from above. Therefore, it is best to pray not so much for healing, but for the admonition of doctors. So that the Lord gives them a good thought, and they can cure you or a person close to you.
Any illness is a difficult ordeal for a person. Since when it appears, the usual way of life is disrupted, pain and suffering appear. Diseases have many causes. The Monk Macarius said that bodily ailments are aimed at healing the human soul, at purifying it. The Lord enlightens us through our suffering.
During any illness, including in women, it is necessary to remember to turn to the Lord in prayer; one must first repent of one’s sins, realize the wrongness of one’s actions and join the Orthodox Church.
The Lord sometimes sends these illnesses so that we turn to Him and learn to pray. After all, we know that a person never prays so fervently as when some kind of misfortune comes: someone close to him gets sick or he himself gets sick.
We know of many cases when a person came to faith, learned to pray, and fell in love with God, precisely when faced with trouble.
If a person is sick, or someone close to you is sick, you need to intensify your prayer.
In the Book of Wisdom of Jesus, son of Sirach, there are these words: “My son! In your illness, do not be careless, but pray to the Lord, and He will heal you.”
Prayer to the Lord God (Jesus Christ) for your health
There are different versions of the text of the appeal to the Heavenly Father. After reading, you should thank the Almighty, even if there is no result yet. After all, in communication with God it is not the final goal that is important, but the achievement of a state of peace and tranquility as a result of unity with him. Reading a strong prayer for your health to Jesus Christ allows you to get the same result. In addition, it is recommended to turn to the Holy Trinity: the Lord, Jesus Christ (the son of God), the holy spirit. The text is different in each case, but the message for recovery and finding happiness from communication with saints is always the same.
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),
raise him from the sick bed, and from the bed of bitterness, whole and all-perfect, grant him to Your Church, pleasing and doing Your will, for it is Yours to have mercy and save us, our God, and to You we send glory, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and ever, Amen.

Who to pray to
There are many saints in Orthodoxy. A natural question arises for a person: to whom does he pray? In order to determine the answer and make the right decision for yourself, it is worth understanding the role of the Saints in the life of the church. The most important thing is to strive for God and connection with Him.
This is the most important thing that a sick person needs to understand. Healing prayers for all illnesses also help us in establishing this connection. And first of all, the main prayer request should be directed to our Lord Jesus Christ.
A natural question arises for a person: to whom does he pray?
The saints help us convey our requests to God. Therefore, it does not really matter to whom exactly we turn in our healing prayer for all illnesses. The main thing is how we do it: with what soul and heart. But still, in Orthodox Christianity there are certain saints who should be addressed in prayer for healing from all illnesses, first of all.
Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary for recovery
You can turn to the Mother of God for various diseases with a request to get well. The Most Holy Theotokos will help restore health to children and adults. This holy woman is the mother of Jesus Christ, she can help in solving problems of any complexity, as well as in illness. It is recommended that the whole family read the text, even if not all household members are sick. It is best to address the Most Holy Theotokos in front of the icons:
- Healer;
- Mammal;
- Iverskaya;
- Tenderness;
- Joy to all who mourn.
A candle is also prepared for prayer (if you plan to read at home). In church, you can read prayer words in front of a lamp.
Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady Theotokos the Virgin, these prayers, now offered 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 grant health to the weak, you heal the weakened and sick, you drive away demons from demons, you deliver the offended from insults, you cleanse lepers and you are kind to little children;
Moreover, O Lady, Lady Theotokos, you free us from bonds and prisons and heal all manifold passions: for all things are possible through Your intercession to Your Son, Christ our God.
Oh, 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 who have irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in You, the Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Matrona of Moscow
This saint can safely be called our contemporary, who lived in the 20th century. From birth Matrona was blind. Her mother, having learned about the vice of her child, wanted to give it to Matrona. But she had a prophetic dream, which stopped the saint’s mother from making the wrong decision. All her life, Matrona helped people: she treated them for various diseases, suggested the right decisions in life.
This saint can safely be called our contemporary
Already at a young age, Matrona found herself completely bedridden: she was paralyzed. But despite all the difficulties of her life, Matrona continued to humbly pray to God and help others. Even during her life on earth, the saint bequeathed to all people: “Come to me as if alive. I will hear everyone and help everyone.” Miracles that happened to those who turned to Matrona happened constantly and were repeatedly recorded.
Prayer to Mother Matrona for health and healing
You can contact her for any everyday problems, various pathological conditions, including women's diseases. Mother Matrona will help you get better, even if the whole family starts getting sick. When you turn to the face of this saint, you can notice an improvement in your well-being, a change in your life situation, if during your appeal the words came from the heart. There is a strong prayer for health; it helps to recover even with the development of severe pathological processes.

Wonderworkers Cosmas and Domian
These are saints to whom people also turn for help and ask for healing from many diseases. During their lifetime, they were siblings who were born into a half-pagan and half-Christian family. The brothers' mother was a Christian believer, and their father was a pagan.
During their lifetime they were siblings
The saints were early left without the support of the male half of the family and were completely raised by their mother, a pious believer in Christ. The brothers led a righteous life, for which they were awarded God's gift of healing people. They did not take money for their labors and lived completely according to the commandments of the Lord
Text of a prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for help in illness for oneself
If a patient turns to this saint, he will certainly receive help, since there is a powerful prayer. It works provided that the person asking begins to read the text of the appeal in a good state of mind, without feeling despondent. You need to pray at home (at the icons, at the table in front of the icon) or in church. You should ask St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for health not only for yourself, but also for the whole family.
Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor and quick helper everywhere in sorrow.
Help me, sinful and sad, in this life, beg the Lord God to grant me remission of all my sins,
I have sinned greatly from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings, and help me in the outcome of my soul,
to the accursed one, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment, so that I may always glorify the Father,
and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer to Saint Panteleimon for your health
During his lifetime, he was known for his righteous deeds. This is a miracle worker who began to treat people for free, he had one single tool for this - prayer. Saint Panteleimon believed that he was healing in the name of Jesus Christ; he could heal the hopelessly sick. For this reason, people still turn to his face to this day. There are legends about the power of his prayer: once Saint Panteleimon brought back to life a child who had been bitten by an echidna. Thanks to this, he became famous, people began to come to him with family problems (hereditary and serious illnesses), asking: “Take us, the sick, heal our illnesses.”
Oh, great saint of Christ, passion-bearer and merciful physician Panteleimon!
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, and with the help of God’s grace, I can spend the rest of my days in repentance and pleasing God, and 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.
