Cases of miraculous healings thanks to prayer
In the mouth of a believer, prayer becomes an effective medicine against any disease.
Evidence of real cases of healing through prayer
- Healing from prayer to the icon of the Virgin Mary “Seven Arrows”. This was at the beginning of the 19th century. In Kandikovsky district, near the Torsha River, there lived a poor peasant. He suffered from lameness from birth, and his legs hurt terribly. Not a single doctor could help the unfortunate man. But one day a peasant heard an angelic voice in a dream, telling him that he needed to come to the Church of St. John the Theologian, find the “Seven Arrow” icon in its bell tower and offer a prayer to it. For a long time the peasant begged the clergy to let him into the bell tower. In the end, the priests relented. And as soon as the man climbed the stairs, he discovered that an Image of the Most Pure Virgin with seven daggers in her chest had been mistakenly built into one of the steps. The clergy, horrified by the unintentional blasphemy, immediately read a prayer service in front of the icon, and the peasant also prayed with them. He left the church without a supporting cane, with a cheerful youthful gait. Thus, the man was completely healed from the painful lameness that tormented him;
- Healing from illness with the help of prayer to Saint Panteleimon. This story was told by our contemporary, a Moscow resident named Taras Lyuty. According to Taras, he was seriously poisoned as a child. He had severe stomach pain and a high fever. Taras’s mother, being a deeply religious woman, advised the boy to pray from the bottom of his heart to Saint Panteleimon. According to Taras, as soon as he prayed, the illness subsided, the temperature subsided - as if nothing had happened;
- Getting rid of diseases thanks to the prayer to Matronushka. A resident of Krasnoyarsk, Ekaterina Doroshenkova, assures that after her sincere prayer to Blessed Matrona, not only did the inflammation of the ovaries, which had been tormenting her for the second week, go away - dried roses bloomed on the window;
- Miracle of St. Luke. This Saint is especially revered in Greece. There, Saint Luke is revered as the patron saint of surgeons, and an Orthodox doctor will not begin a single operation without prayer to this Saint. In addition, Greek doctors confirm cases of complete remission of cancer with regular prayers for illnesses and ailments before this saint. And according to legend, even during his lifetime, Saint Luke performed an amazing miracle - a boy with a crippled hand, thanks to his touch, got new fingers.
The miracles described above indicate that Orthodox prayer is a powerful weapon against serious illnesses, illnesses and injuries. The main thing is to sincerely believe in the power of your words and God’s Mercy. The Lord and His Holy Saints always listen to those who suffer, and will not leave a true believer in trouble.

Review of effective rituals
Conspiracies in the ancient melodious Russian language are capable of transforming negative energy into positive, and the words spoken by magicians always lead to the desired result.
Incomplete classification of spells:
- hexes against obsessive fears;
- spells for stress and depression;
- insomnia spell;
- rituals performed for milk, bread, honey, photos;
- prayers for anorexia nervosa, hysteria and phobias.
To influence the condition of a person suffering from neurosis, it is necessary to use spells that affect his mental state.
Having found the correct sequence of words, the patient must pronounce them in a given rhythm.
The magical charge of the spell accumulates throughout the reading and intensifies as it approaches its end.
A patient with masked neurotic depression and suicidal tendencies belongs to a risk group, so not only drug treatment, but also witchcraft spells and self-control over one’s own thinking are of great importance.
A patient suffering from neurosis must master the magic of words and the power of sound, enter into harmony with the world, and find peace of mind.
Prayers to the Guardian Angel, the Most Holy Theotokos, Seraphim of Sarov, and Mother Matrona are simple and universal. But people are all different, and sacred texts will help some believers find peace of mind, but not others.

The liquid, charmed in a special way, improves mood and gets rid of negative energy. A person suffering from neurosis kneels before a babbling stream and reads Psalm 51:
We learn Psalm 50 by heart.
After completing the ritual, you must close your eyes, wash your face with cool water and say the following words:
The miraculous water magic is repeated three times.
After the ritual, the person’s aura brightens, all dark and black clots, personifying the induced damage or the evil eye, dissolve in it.

How to read prayers for healing correctly?
Penetrating into the human body, the disease destroys it not only on the physical level. The disease penetrates into the astral bodies and negatively affects the energy and general condition of the patient. Thus, the fact that a disease that affects subtle levels can be fought with esoteric and religious methods becomes obvious.

Orthodox prayers have the most powerful effect on the energy of the disease. If the cause of the illness is not obsession or demon possession of the patient, every person baptized in the Orthodox faith can read prayers for illnesses. An unbaptized person simply does not have a sufficient energetic connection with the Higher Powers to read a prayer service.
Anyone reading a prayer for healing from any illness must adhere to the following rules:
- Stick to a prayer structure. First, Praise and Glory are given to the Lord and His Saints, then the canonical text of the prayer is read, and only after that can a personal request for help be formulated.
- Saints and the Lord God cannot be indicated. It is important to remember that these entities are much higher and purer than any person on earth, therefore making demands on them, as in a conversation with mortals, is categorically not recommended. In prayer, one can only ask and plead for mercy, expressing deep respect and reverence before the Saints and the Creator.
- You must pray sincerely. If your faith is not strong enough, you should not rely on the power of prayer for healing.
- The room in which the prayer text will be read must be clean. It is also recommended to sprinkle the corners with holy water.
- In the case of reading a prayer for all diseases for a specific Saint, it is recommended to place an iconographic image of this Saint in front of you.
- In the process of praying for illnesses, one should not express horror of evil spirits or enemies. Awe can only be felt before God.
- You need to pray with a pure heart, not wishing harm to anyone or illness from which the person praying asks to save himself or his loved ones. You cannot ask to punish your enemies or ill-wishers in prayer - you can pray to the Higher Powers exclusively for good and bright things.
Important! If, when choosing a prayer for illnesses and ailments, strange doubts and fear gnaw at your soul, it is recommended to consult with your confessor and, if necessary, undergo an exorcism.
