This article contains: prayer for the illness of a small child - information taken from all over the world, the electronic network and spiritual people.

Hello, dear readers!

Do you use such a powerful spiritual tool in your family as prayer for the child’s recovery? What prayers are best in this case? And how to help a sick baby? Let's try to find answers to all these questions.

When a child is sick, everything else seems small and insignificant. Nothing makes you happy, and there is only one desire - to help the baby get better. Involving, if necessary, the help of doctors, hospitals, injections and medications. Or rubbing your back with ointment and applying a compress at night, singing a song before bed and drinking warm tea with raspberries.

But we can help the baby recover not only through physical actions, but also by turning to higher powers. Sincere, sincere maternal prayer for the baby’s speedy recovery is a very strong and powerful medicine. And to use it we do not need any wisdom, additional tools or resources. Only a pure heart and faith in a miracle that will definitely happen.

What does prayer do when you are sick?

Prayer is always a conversation with God. Sometimes in our own words, sometimes in special texts, but the essence is the same - we ask the Lord for help and guidance, healing and continued good health for our children.

There is plenty of evidence that maternal prayer can work miracles. Therefore, you should never neglect such a powerful gift. Especially if the feelings are very strong, and external interventions do not help to their full extent.

But, in addition to the fact that sincere prayers can save the baby, they also help the mother to gather herself, calm down, and believe in the baby’s speedy recovery. After all, our excitement is the very last thing a child needs. And when the mother trusts the world, calms down and tunes in to the help of higher powers, the child also relaxes and begins to recover.

Who do they pray to for health?

For the health of their children, Orthodox Christians pray to the Lord Jesus Christ, the Most Holy Theotokos, Saint Panteleimon the Healer, Saint Matrona and other saints. For your convenience, we will provide you with several ready-made prayers. But, of course, you can pray in your own words. The main thing is that they come from the heart, and that the heart is filled with sincere faith.

Prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ:

Lord Jesus Christ, awaken Your mercy on my children (names of children), keep them under Your roof, cover them from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open the ears and eyes of their hearts, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts.

Having lived under the protection of the Most High, led and strengthened by the Mother of God, having endured hunger and thirst, cold and heat, reproach and persecution, you have received the gift of clairvoyance and miracles from God and are resting in the shadow of the Almighty. Now the Holy Church, like a fragrant flower, glorifies you. Standing at the place of your burial in front of your holy image, as if you were alive, you who are with us, we pray to you: accept our petitions and bring them to the throne of the Merciful Heavenly Father, as if you have boldness towards Him, ask for eternal salvation for those who flow to you for our good deeds and generous undertakings blessing, deliverance from all troubles and sorrows.

Mother Ksenia, pray to our Lord for the healing of God’s servant... (child’s name in R.P.).

Prayer to the holy martyr Paraskeva for the speedy healing of the child:

Oh, holy and blessed martyr of Christ Paraskeva, maiden beauty, praise of the martyrs, purity of image, magnanimous mirrors, wonder of the wise, guardian of the Christian faith, idolatry flattery to the accuser, champion of the Divine Gospel, zealot of the Lord’s commandments, vouchsafed to come to the haven of eternal rest and in the chamber of the Bridegroom your Christ God, brightly rejoicing, adorned with the extreme crown of virginity and martyrdom! We pray to you, holy martyr, to be sorrowful for us to Christ God, whose most blessed sight will always rejoice. Pray to the All-Merciful One, Who opened the eyes of the blind with His word, that He may deliver us from the illness of our hair, both physical and mental; with your holy prayers, kindle the dark darkness that has come from our sins, ask the Father of Light for the light of grace for our souls and bodies; Enlighten us, darkened by sins, with the light of God’s grace, so that for the sake of your holy prayers sweet vision will be given to the dishonest. Oh, great servant of God! O most courageous maiden! Oh, strong martyr Saint Paraskeva! With your holy prayers, be a helper to us sinners, intercede and pray for the damned and extremely negligent sinners, hasten to help us, for we are extremely weak. Pray to the Lord, pure maiden, pray to the Merciful, holy martyr, pray to your Bridegroom, immaculate bride of Christ, so that by your prayers, having escaped the darkness of sin, in the light of the true faith and divine deeds we may enter into the eternal light of the uneven day, into the city of ever-present joy, in where you now shine brightly with glory and endless joy, praising and singing with all the heavenly powers the Trisagion of the One Deity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

According to the testimonies of many believers, joint prayer helps very well - when many people gather and everyone offers prayer at the same time. But even if there is no one to ask for help and support right now, turn to God. Just as it is, in your own words. Throwing away vanity and prejudices. And you will certainly be heard.

And, of course, take action. Provide your child with multi-level treatment, both physically and spiritually.

According to both psychologists and believers, often the causes of children’s illnesses are the spiritual atmosphere in the family. This does not mean that you need to punish yourself and sprinkle ashes on your head. But still, it’s worth thinking about it, and perhaps changing something in the relationships within the family.

Carefully assess the situation - is everyone in the family happy and self-sufficient? What are the relationships between parents, brothers and sisters, grandparents, and other relatives? Does the child receive enough attention, affection, and warmth? Simple things like this mean a lot. More than meets the eye.

But, if something bad happens to your baby and he gets sick, try not to panic. Do everything you can now and pray. And God will definitely help you.

May your children always be healthy! Peace to your family and God's blessings!

Prayer for the child's recovery

"Save me, God!". Thank you for visiting our website, before you start studying the information, we ask you to subscribe to our VKontakte group Prayers for every day. Also visit our page on Odnoklassniki and subscribe to her Prayers for every day Odnoklassniki. "God bless you!".

At a time when a child begins to get sick, it often happens that frightened parents simply begin to get lost and the mother has a particularly bad time at this moment, since there is a certain connection between children and their parents, making them especially sensitive when the baby’s health deteriorates. And in our lives, not everything depends on people, so in difficult moments a prayer for the child’s recovery will help.

What does a strong (helping) prayer for a child’s recovery give?

A prayer appeal is a conversation with the Lord and whether in our own words or according to the sacred text, the essence remains the same - we call on the Almighty to receive blessings, as well as for help in healing and continued good health for our children.

There is also a huge amount of evidence that a prayer for health by a mother during a child’s illness can have a truly miraculous effect, so one should not ignore such a powerful gift (especially in cases where external intervention is not working at full strength, and anxiety is very strong ).

The prayer itself has the following effect:

Helps relieve painful parts of the child’s body from discomfort;
In case of prolonged and high fever, it lowers the temperature and alleviates the general condition of the child;
Gives the child strength to fight the disease;
In addition to the fact that a prayer appeal can save a child, it can also help the mother calm down, gather strength and instill faith in the child’s speedy recovery. After all, the last thing a baby needs is the worry of his parents, and when the mother trusts the world, tunes herself to the help of Heavenly forces and calms down, the child begins to relax and gets better.

Naturally, a child’s recovery does not always depend only on our desire, but if the mother makes every effort, then the chance of getting rid of the disease will increase significantly.

Who to pray for the health of the child

There are many prayers for the recovery and health of children, which can be addressed to the images of various Saints, namely:

Since ancient times, it has been believed that Blessed Matrona is the protector of family well-being and the patroness of the hearth. Orthodox pilgrims from all over the world come to the relics of the Saint to ask for the healing of their relatives and people close to them. And Matrona’s prayer for the healing of the child will become a good companion for every loving mother in the most difficult times.

The text of the prayer is:

“Oh, blessed Elder Matrona. I turn to you with prayer and hope for the child’s recovery. Ask the Lord our God Jesus Christ for the health of your beloved child. Do not be angry with me for sinful deeds and do not refuse me righteous help. Deliver the child from weakness, sorrow, crying and groaning. Reject bodily illness and mental turmoil. Give my child good health and drive away the evils of demons from him. Forgive me all my mother’s sins and intercede for me before the Lord God. Let it be so. Amen".

Such a prayer appeal is quite strong and therefore, after pronouncing it, it is recommended to give the baby some kind of drink, adding sacred water to it in advance.

The Queen of Heavenly Virgin Mary is the first mother in the Christian world, and if trouble comes to the house and brings with it the illness of a beloved child, then you can turn to her for help in recovering and gaining good health for the child. A prayer to the Mother of God for the health of the baby will certainly have an effect in healing the patient, will force the body to resist the disease, and will also give strength to the child.

“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, lead me into 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".

Since time immemorial, believers, when various health problems arose, turned to Saint Nicholas for help, since during his lifetime he was widely known as a healer endowed with a comprehensive faith. To this day, a prayer request to the Elder helps relieve a child from the discomfort that physical illness causes him.

“Oh, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker. I fall at your feet and ask for the recovery of the sick child. Send a miracle from heaven and help him cope with a serious illness. Intercede before the Lord God for my sins and ask him for generous and merciful forgiveness. Let it be so. Amen".

Such a petition is allowed to be made not only within the walls of the church, but also at home, but if the child has a serious illness, then it is best to take him to the temple or invite a clergyman to the house.

Saint Luke was endowed with God's power of healing, the gift of clairvoyance and miracles. And by turning to the Elder in prayer, you can heal not only adults, but also children from various ailments.

Strong prayer to Saint Luke for the treatment of a child:

“O all-blessed confessor, our holy saint Luke, great saint of Christ. With tenderness we bow the knee of our hearts, and falling before the race of your honest and multi-healing relics, like the children of our father, we pray to you with all our zeal: hear us sinners and bring our prayer to the merciful and man-loving God. To whom you stand now in the joy of the saints and with the faces of an angel. We believe that you love us with the same love that you loved all your neighbors while you were on earth.

Ask Christ our God to confirm His children in the spirit of right faith and piety: to the shepherds to give holy zeal and care for the salvation of the people entrusted to them: to observe the right of believers, to strengthen the weak and infirm in the faith, to instruct the ignorant, to reprove the contrary. Give us all a gift that is useful to everyone, and everything that is useful for temporary life and eternal salvation.

Strengthening our cities, fruitful lands, deliverance from famine and destruction. Comfort for the grieving, healing for the ailing, return to the path of truth for those who have gone astray, blessing from a parent, upbringing and teaching for a child in the Passion of the Lord, help and intercession for the orphaned and needy.

Grant us all your archpastoral blessing, so that if we have such prayerful intercession, we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

Guide us on the path leading to the villages of the righteous and pray for us to the omnipotent God, in eternal life we will be worthy with you to constantly glorify the Consubstantial and Indivisible Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen."

It is worth noting that the clergy recommends learning the prayer appeal by heart so as not to be distracted during its pronunciation, but it is also equally important to concentrate on reading the prayer service and imagine your smiling, happy and healthy child.

May the Lord protect you!

Does Christian prayer for a patient before surgery help?

Yes, it helps, but only if you sincerely believe in the Lord God and repent of your sins. Before the operation, you need to go to church to confess, take communion and take a blessing for the operation. Order a magpie for health, a prayer service. Read “Canon of Repentance to Our Lord Jesus Christ”, Canons to the Most Holy Theotokos, to the Guardian Angel. Forgive everyone, ask for forgiveness, make peace with everyone, order a prayer service for health in church, akathists.

A miraculous prayer read for a patient before surgery

“Lord Almighty, holy king, punish and do not kill, confirm the one who has fallen, and raise the undestroyed, bodily sorrows of man, and correct the sorrows we pray to you, our God, visit your servant (name), who is weak, with your mercy. Forgive him for every sin, voluntary or involuntary.

By God, your healing power has been sent down from heaven to control the mind and hand of your slave doctor (name) and perform the necessary surgery safely, as if the bodily ailment of your servant (name) was completely healed, and every hostile invasion was driven far away from him.

For you are the hedgehog of mercy to save us, our God, and to you we send glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Now and ever and forever and ever. Amen".

The purpose of religion is the salvation of the human soul, but Neil Smelser argues that another goal is no less important: a person’s finding the meaning of life.

Does this mean that the life of an atheist is meaningless, or does religion provide meaning for those who cannot find it on their own? Believers in many countries who eat beef steaks in large numbers, how much do they offend the religious feelings of Hindus who revere the cow as a sacred animal, and how does this relate to the religious tolerance that is now proclaimed by every church in the world? It is curious how the movement for a unified church intends to eliminate such contradictions: to ban the consumption of beef or to deprive the cow of the status of a sacred animal.

Life is not complete without illness. When a person loses his health, he most often turns to the Lord.

The Church has long had a tradition of serving prayers “For the healing of the sick,” which can also be joined by a prayer to the Mother of God for health. As a merciful Mother, the Most Pure Virgin conveys to the Lord the petitions of loved ones for the healing of an ill family member.

One pious monk had a vision: many Angels and saints standing at the Throne of God. But among them he did not see the Mother of God. “Lord, where is the Most Pure One?” - the monk was surprised. “She walks the earth, healing the sick, clothing the poor and comforting the mourning,” answered the Lord. The plot of this parable is depicted on the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow”: the Mother of God extends her most pure hands to the unfortunate people around her.

The Church also venerates other icons in which prayers are offered to the Mother of God for health: Healer, All-Tsarina, Deliverer, Quick to Hear, etc.

Water Blessing Prayer to the Mother of God

This is part of the robe of the Most Pure One, glorified by miracles since the 10th century. Healings from the Belt occurred regularly. At the ark with the Belt they pray for healing from cancer and infertility.

We fall down and worship You before Your all-honorable and wholesome image, remembering Your wondrous appearance to the sick clergyman Vincent, and earnestly pray to You, the all-powerful intercessor and helper of our family: just as in ancient times you gave healing to that cleric, so now heal our souls and bodies, sick with the wounds of sins and many different passions, deliver us from all misfortunes, troubles, sorrows and eternal condemnation, save us from soul-destroying teachings and unbelief, from the flattering and arrogant attacks of invisible enemies, grant us a Christian death, painless, peaceful, shameless, to partake of the Holy Mysteries and grant us worthy to the impartial judgment of Christ stands at the right hand of the All-Righteous Judge and hear His blessed voice: “Come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” Amen.

Healing of Seraphim of Sarov

The famous Russian saint St. Seraphim of Sarov more than once received the mercy of the Most Holy Theotokos.

Illnesses haunted him since childhood, and his mother prayed to the Most Pure One for the child’s recovery. When a religious procession took place near the house, she carried Seraphim in her arms and placed it next to the image of the Mother of God. The next morning my condition began to improve.

Later, Venerable himself. Seraphim began to heal the sick, but claimed that this was happening “by the will of the Mother of God.”

Prayers to Orthodox saints for healing:

His favorite icon was the Mother of God “Tenderness”; in front of her the monk prayed for his children who were overcome by infirmities.

Prayer of Tenderness

Accept our unworthy prayers, save us from the slander of evil people and from vain death, grant us repentance before the end, have mercy on our prayers and grant joy in sorrow a place.

Amen.

Help from the Most Pure St. Gabriel Sedmiezersky

The Most Pure Mother of God did not forsake another ascetic, St. Gabriel of Sedmiezersk, with Her mercy.

While performing monastic obedience, Gabriel received a serious injury. Without hope of recovery, he prepared for death, praying to the Blessed Virgin. And She did not refuse to help Her prayer book, although the illness lasted 5 years.

The ascetic made a petition to the Mother of God on behalf of the sick man.

Prayer of Gabriel of Sedmiezersk
Most Holy Theotokos Virgin, who lives and saves Thy inheritance forever after death, hear the sighing of my soul, calling upon Thee for help!
Descend from heaven, come and touch my mind and heart, open the sight of my soul, so that I will see You, my Lady, and Your Son, the Creator, Christ and my God, and I will understand what His will is and what I am deprived of. Hey, my Lady, strive for Thy help and pray to Thy Son to greet me with His grace, so that the bonds of His love chained at His feet will remain forever, even in wounds and illness, even if sick and weakened in body, but at His feet.

To receive mercy from the Queen of Heaven, you do not have to wait for illness. In all of the above cases, while still in health, the saints prayed to the Mother of God every day.

The angelic greeting “Rejoice to the Virgin Mary” is suitable for daily prayer. It is advisable to pronounce it when passing by the image of the Mother of God.

Prayers to the Blessed Virgin Mary

As long as the children are healthy, we’ll make money on the rest. Surely this hackneyed expression is familiar and close to each of us. The health of the child is sacred - an axiom that does not require any proof or confirmation for normal, sensible parents. There is probably no greater torment than seeing the suffering of a sick child, regardless of whether he is small or is already nursing children.

Of course, the first thing we do is turn to doctors, we try to find a way to the luminaries of medicine, to get to the best clinic, even if it is located thousands of kilometers from home. To heal a child, we are literally ready to do anything. By the way, our willingness to do anything is a very thin bridge between two worlds: the world of reasonable actions and desperate actions. Despair is a bad advisor. It, of course, can mobilize unprecedented and unknown forces and capabilities of both the sick person and the mother of the one who fell into the clutches of the disease.

But often, unfortunately, this happens after pronouncing the terrible formula of renunciation of the soul, if only the child was alive and well. And even in moments of exacerbation of the disease, we begin to bargain something like this, calling on higher powers: “Lord, if my child gets well, I will forever give up such and such, or do such and such, or never do such and such again.”... Believing that we are making an immutable vow, the majority, unfortunately, forget it almost immediately after the child’s recovery. Heaven favors only sincere faith in the power of the Lord. The most powerful prayer is a mother’s sincere prayer for the health of her child.

Holy Helpers

First of all, having gathered all your will into a fist, so that the child sees on your face only the confidence that everything will be fine, turn to the Almighty with these words:

O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy and Soul, worshiped and glorified in the indivisible Trinity, look with kindness 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 peaceful 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.

When reading the prayer, do not forget to take into account this nuance: if your child is no more than seven years old, you should not say “God’s servant,” but “God’s baby.” All children up to seven years old inclusive are God's angels, babies.

For the mother of a sick child, God is the chief physician, the luminary of medicine. He also has assistants, whose words and advice he listens to - saints who have the gift of healing body and soul. A prayer addressed to them for the child’s recovery receives additional power. The saint will pray to God for health with you.

Who exactly should I contact? Since ancient times, it has been considered the strongest healer, healing the most complex diseases according to the laws of the Lord. Healer Panteleimon. To make it easier for the great martyr to help you and your child, hold the image of the sick person in front of you and repeat three times in front of the icon of the saint:

“Protector and Healer, Panteleimon - Great Martyr. In a prayer of repentance I turn to you, just don’t refuse to help me. May my child be healed of evil, and may grace rush to him from above. I beg you, cast off all shackles, scabs, illnesses and secret angers. Let the mercy of Christ happen quickly, and let my child not languish. If I have guilt for my child, let her retreat as soon as possible. Let it be so. Amen"

You can do this in a church, a hospital ward, at home... The point is not in the place where you read the prayer, but in the faith of what you say. And remember: in home prayers you can even mention the name of an unbaptized sick person. God is merciful to the prayers of a mother, for whom there is nothing more valuable than her child. And unbaptized children can be partially helped by generous alms given for them, without mentioning their names.

Along with the prayer to the Healer, Panteleimon values the prayer for the health of the child addressed to Matrona of Moscow. She tirelessly helped those suffering during her lifetime, and continues to help after her physical death. If possible, go to church, order mass, celebrate the health of the sick person (if you can’t leave the child’s bedside, ask him to be a relative, loved ones or just good friends). Buy candles (three candles each need to be placed for the icons of Jesus Christ, Panteleimon and Matronushka), collect holy water, which you will then add to any drink for a sick child, wash his face, hands... The words of the prayer for the health of the child of the Blessed Elder are as follows:

“Blessed Elder Matrona, in this time of sorrow I turn to you. Forgive me all sinful weaknesses and reject all demonic nasty things. Help my child to heal quickly and drink in faith in God. Do not punish your child with pain, illness and bodily ailments. Do not torment his soul with suffering. I hope for your help and again I pray for your health. Thy will be done. Amen"

If the child has entered the age of adolescence or youth, you can read the following before the image of Saint Matrona:

Blessed Elder, Matrona of Moscow. I beg you for healing and ask for your generous forgiveness. Intercede before the Lord God for the sick servant (sick servant) (call the name of the sufferer). Reject all bodily ailments and mental turmoil. Send down a quick recovery and reject the severe test. Let the sick person recover quickly, and let his (her) soul be freed from grief. Thy will be done. Amen.

And it would be nice to have an icon with Saint Matronushka next to the bed of a sick person. She has the most powerful energy.

There is one more indisputable axiom: the aspirations and thoughts of a mother are most understandable to the same mother who has endured pain, bitterness, and suffering. In other words, the miraculous healing prayer will be the prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, the mother of the Son of God. They address her like this:

“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, as You are the Divine protection of Your servants. Amen"

The following prayer for the health of the child will be heard by the Most Holy Theotokos:

“Mother of God, lead me into 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"

However, any words addressed to God will be heard. The main thing is that they are pronounced from the heart, with faith. Sincere maternal prayer is the most powerful. It always has been and always will be.

Possessing the grace of God, You, merciful healer, are able to put (the name of the patient) on his feet and drive away all illness and infection away from the servant of God. We glorify Your life, and Your deeds, and Your help. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Prayer for healing from illnesses to Matrona of Moscow

Matrona of Moscow has been healing seriously ill and infirm people since childhood. There were always crowds of sufferers near her doors: some came for advice, some needed help, others expressed gratitude. Before her death, the great martyr said that everyone who tells her about their problems in prayer will receive God's mercy. First, tell Matronushka everything that oppresses and worries you, what kind of illness has settled inside, and then read the sacred text:

“Blessed Matrona, in difficult times I turn to You for help. Forgive me all my temptations and weaknesses, take away ailments and illnesses from me. Help me quickly drive away the infection and strengthen my faith in our Lord. Ask for God's favor, do not punish my body and soul with suffering. I hope and pray for Your help. Amen".

To cope with the disease, strengthen your strength and protect yourself from bad influences, prayer words that should be pronounced in front of the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker in a low voice, preferably three times, will help:

“Oh Saint Nicholas, saint of God, protector of sinners and helper of the disadvantaged. I beg you, come to my call and ask the Lord for help in my life, deliver me from sins and bad influences. My sins were not out of malice, but through carelessness. Forgive me for them and do not punish me with the disease that has eaten away my soul and body. Help me, Wonderworker Nicholas, find good health and save me from torment. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".

Powerful prayer for the child to recover!

What does a strong (helping) prayer for a child’s recovery give?

The prayer itself has the following effect:

Helps relieve painful parts of the child’s body from discomfort;

In case of prolonged and high fever, it lowers the temperature and alleviates the general condition of the child;

Gives the child strength to fight the disease;

In addition to the fact that a prayer appeal can save a child, it can also help the mother calm down, gather strength and instill faith in the child’s speedy recovery. After all, the last thing a baby needs is the worry of his parents, and when the mother trusts the world, tunes herself to the help of Heavenly forces and calms down, the child begins to relax and gets better.

Naturally, a child’s recovery does not always depend only on our desire, but if the mother makes every effort, then the chance of getting rid of the disease will increase significantly.

Who to pray for the health of the child

There are many prayers for the recovery and health of children, which can be addressed to the images of various Saints, namely:

Such a prayer appeal is quite strong and therefore, after pronouncing it, it is recommended to give the baby some kind of drink, adding sacred water to it in advance.

Strong prayer to Saint Luke for the treatment of a child:

Grant us all your archpastoral blessing, so that if we have such prayerful intercession, we will get rid of the wiles of the evil one and avoid all enmity and disorder, heresies and schisms.

May the Lord protect you!

Maternal prayers for the health of the child are the most powerful and effective

The most powerful prayer for the health of children is the prayer that comes from the very depths of a mother’s heart. Why specifically maternal? Because only the mother knows her child 9 months longer than other people. Because there is a close, inextricable connection between mother and child. When a baby is sick, his mother is sick along with him, but her pain is stronger, since she is sick in spirit. In moments when a child suffers from illness, Orthodox prayers for the health of the children can come to the mother’s aid.

Holy helpers to the mother of a sick child

Of course, if a child is ill, you should not neglect traditional drug treatment - medicine has now made enormous progress and is able to cope with many, even serious, diseases.

We should not forget about faith, about the holy heavenly helpers - their support and assistance can alleviate the patient’s condition and speed up his healing. The best way to appeal to higher powers has always been, is and will be sincere prayer.

Orthodox prayers simply must be read during illness. The Lord is the main helper to the mother of a sick child, for His possibilities are limitless. God also has his own companions - these are saints who know how to heal body and soul. Therefore, you can turn to the Almighty with a request for health through His saints - the Creator listens to their opinion and through them provides His help.

In addition to the Lord himself, most often with prayer for the health of children they appeal to:

Holy Mother of God;
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker;
Blessed Matrona of Moscow;
Saint Panteleimon the Healer.

A mother’s prayer for health (whether for her son or daughter), directed to the listed saints, has truly miraculous powers and can sometimes become the only salvation in a critical situation.

5 most powerful and rare prayers for children

Below is a selection of powerful maternal prayers for children - they include both the most popular prayer texts and quite rare ones, known to a narrow circle of believers. However, all of them have repeatedly confirmed their effectiveness in practice and have helped many children suffering from one or another disease.

Prayer for the health of children to the Lord

Prayers for the health of children addressed to the Lord have amazing power. If her child is ill, a mother can ask for a speedy recovery for him using the following prayer text:

Important: if the child is not yet 7 years old, the words “servant of God” should be replaced with a phrase “child of God”. This condition is necessary, since it is believed that all children under 7 years of age (inclusive) are the Lord's babies, His angels.

Prayer to the Most Holy Mother of God (Theotokos)

No one will understand the thoughts, feelings, hopes, despair and suffering of a mother better than the same mother. That is why many mothers during illness turn to the Mother of God with prayer for the health of their child. The healing text addressed to her sounds like this:

In addition to this miraculous prayer, you can also use another church text to ask for the health of your child. Despite its brevity, it has great power. His words are:

Prayer for the health of the child to Matrona of Moscow

Among Orthodox believers, one of the especially revered saints is the Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow. You can ask Matronushka for health for your child using this prayer:

This prayer would be most preferable for the youngest children. If the child has already reached adolescence or young age, you need to pray to the Blessed Elder for his (her) health using a different text. His words:

The energy and effectiveness of the prayer to the Matrona of Moscow will increase significantly if you place a small icon of the old woman in the room or next to the bed of a sick child.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker for the health of the child

Saint Nicholas the Pleasant also helps the mother of a sick child. They ask him for healing like this:

Prayer for the health of children to Panteleimon the Healer

The patron saint of all the sick is the holy great martyr Panteleimon the Healer. During his lifetime, he was a talented healer and became famous for his examples of miraculous healing. To contact a saint, it is better to purchase his image in a church shop and read the following prayer before him 3 times:

Rules for reading a prayer for a child

Even the most unpleasant symptoms of the disease will subside if there is a loving mother next to the sick person, who will support her child and can choose the right words of prayer.

The greatest effect for the healing and health of the child will be achieved if the prayer appeal is carried out within the walls of the temple. The most powerful prayer is the one that is read sincerely, from the bottom of your heart. Every word of hers must be passed through the soul and find a response in it. And then the disease will quickly recede, especially if both the mother and the sick child are baptized.

It is advisable to reinforce the prayer ritual with a magpie for the health of a sick person - it is ordered in the church. It’s good if the mother goes to church, puts candles in front of the icons of the Lord and saints, and draws holy water - you can add it to the sick child’s food and drink, just give it to him, wash his face and hands. If the mother is unable to leave the bedside of the sick person, relatives or friends can go to church.

Orthodox prayers for health can be said even if the child is not baptized. Praying is allowed at home, but for these purposes it is recommended to buy icons of those saints to whom a petition for health has been sent. Higher powers are merciful to the sincere prayer of a mother, for whom there is nothing and no one more valuable than her child.

Prayers for health should be wisely combined with traditional medical care. When the symptoms of the disease worsen, you should definitely contact a doctor, and when the child’s condition improves, say prayers.

Priests recommend reading prayers for health as often as possible, and doing this not only during illness, but also when the child is healthy - in this case, prayer will serve a preventive function. The words of the petition should be memorized, and during the reading process, do not be distracted by extraneous factors, and fully concentrate on the main goal. Visualization will also help speed up the recovery of a sick child. The mother should concentrate on the image of happy and joyful children, and most importantly, completely healed of their illness.

There is nothing worse than the illness of your own child. The heart bleeds. I’m ready to do anything so that the baby doesn’t get sick and is healthy. Thanks for the prayers! I will definitely use them.

Orthodox prayers for health really have great power. I always read them if my children are sick. Then the disease progresses more easily and recovery occurs faster. I recommend it to all mothers!

Oooooh, thank you so much for your prayers, how they helped me during the treatment of my daughter! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

My son Vladimir is very sick, my heart bleeds when I see his torment, I pray to all the saints that his illness will go away, my family will pray for my son so that the illness will recede, Lord, I ask you to forgive him his sins, I trust in you, Lord!

GOD! GIVE OUR CHILDREN HEALTH!! FORGIVE US OUR SINS

Thank you so much for the prayers. I read prayers every evening so that my grandson gets better soon.

God. Give health to my son Maxim!! And make sure that children are not responsible for the sins of their parents. Amen
