When children begin to get sick, it can be quite difficult for parents to maintain self-control. But a positive attitude towards recovery is very important during the fight against the disease. It is simply necessary to keep hope and faith for a successful solution to the problem. Prayer for the recovery of the child can help with this.

A strong helping prayer can not only support the spirit of the mother, but also on a psychological or spiritual level will help a child struggling with a disease.

Priests recommend learn the address to the saint by heart , in order not to be distracted by pronouncing it. It is also very important when reading a prayer to imagine and concentrate on the image of a healthy, happy and smiling child.

There are many prayers for the health and recovery of children. One of the most powerful and helping is the prayer for the recovery of the child and his health to Jesus Christ:

“Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, sinful and unworthy of Your servant (name).

Lord, in the mercy of Your power, my child (name), have mercy and save him for Your name's sake.

Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, committed by him before You.

Lord, guide him on the true path of Thy commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Thy light of Christ, for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body.

Lord, bless him in the house, around the house, in the field, at work and on the road, and in every place of Your possession.

Lord, save him under the protection of Your Holy One from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer and from vain death.

Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all kinds of troubles, evils and misfortunes.

Lord, heal him of all diseases, cleanse him of all filth (wine, tobacco, drugs) and ease his mental suffering and sorrow.

Lord, grant him the grace of the Holy Spirit for many years of life and health, chastity.

Lord, give him Your blessing on the pious family life and pious childbearing.

Lord, grant me, unworthy and sinful servant of Yours, a parental blessing on my child in the coming mornings, days, evenings and nights, for the sake of Your name, for Your Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen.

Lord, have mercy (12 times)."

They also pray to the Mother of God for children and their health.

Prayer to the Mother of God "For the recovery of the child"

Virgin Mary, Mother of the Lord, I have only hope for you. I repent of my sins, I will accept all the vows, Give healing to my child. Let the pain recede, the ailment will pass, And my child lives healthy. I will faithfully serve the Lord, Let only the child recover, live. Amen.

Nicholas the Wonderworker is also a famous saint who should be contacted by a mother caring for sick children. The effectiveness of a prayer appeal will be very strong if it is pronounced sincerely, from the bottom of the heart.

“Oh, Saint Nicholas the Pleasant. Help my beloved child to recover and do not be angry with me for sinful sorrow. Amen."

Appealing to the saints in the form of a prayer is a rather powerful energy message. with healing power. However, one should not assume that offering prayer to priests reduces the importance of taking medicines.

This is not so, just the power of self-hypnosis is also very important. To which of the saints to turn their prayers, everyone chooses for himself, or you can consult with the servant of the temple.

If only the children were healthy, and we will earn everything else. Surely this hackneyed expression is familiar and close to each of us. The health of the child is holy - an axiom that does not require any evidence and confirmation for normal, sane parents. There is probably no greater torment than to see the torment of a sick child, regardless of whether he is small or is already nursing children himself.

Of course, we first of all turn to doctors, 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 cure a child, we are literally ready for anything. By the way, our readiness for anything is a very thin bridge between two worlds: the world of reasonable actions and desperate actions. Desperation is a bad adviser. It, of course, can mobilize unprecedented and unknown forces, and the possibilities of both the sick person himself 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 in moments of exacerbation of the disease, we begin to bargain approximately the same way, appealing to 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 make an unshakable vow, the majority, unfortunately, almost immediately after the child’s recovery forgets him. Heaven favors only sincere faith in the power of the Lord. The most powerful prayer is the sincere prayer of the mother for the health of the child.

Holy helpers

First of all, having gathered all your will into a fist so that the child sees on your face only 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 inseparable Trinity, look kindly on Your servant (name), obsessed with illness; forgive him all his sins; give him healing from the disease; restore his health and bodily strength; give him a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and peaceful blessings, so that he, together with us, brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bountiful God and my Creator. Holy Mother of God, by Your all-powerful 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 a prayer, do not forget to take into account such a nuance: if your child is not 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.

God for the mother of a sick child is the chief physician, the luminaries of medicine. He also has assistants, whose words and advice he listens to - saints who have the gift to heal the body and soul. Prayer for the recovery of the child, addressed to them, receives additional strength. The saint will pray to God for health with you.

Who exactly to contact? Since ancient times, it has been considered the strongest healer, who heals 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 before the icon of the saint:

“Intercessor and Healer, Panteleimon - Great Martyr. In a prayer of repentance, I turn to you, do not refuse only to help me. May my child be healed of evil, and grace come to him from above. I beg you, cast off all fetters, scabs, diseases and secret malice. Let the mercy of Christ happen faster, and my child will not languish. If I have wine 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 believing what you say. And also 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 even unbaptized children can be partially helped by the generous alms that are given for them, without mentioning their names.

Along with the prayer to the Healer, Panteleimon appreciates the prayer for the health of the child, addressed to the Matrona of Moscow. She tirelessly helped the suffering during her lifetime, and helps after her physical death. If possible, go to the temple, order a mass, a magpie for the health of a sick person (you can’t leave the child’s bed, ask him to do this with a relative, relatives or just good friends). Buy candles (three candles should be put to the icons of Jesus Christ, Panteleimon and Matronushka), draw holy water, which you will then pour into any drink for a sick child, wash his face, hands ... The words of the prayer for the health of the child of the Blessed Old Lady are as follows:

“Blessed Old Lady Matrona, in a mournful hour I turn to you. Forgive me all sinful weaknesses and reject all demonic filth. Help my child to heal quickly and get drunk with faith in God. Do not punish the child with pain, sickness and bodily ailments. Do not torment his soul with suffering. I hope for your help and again I pray for health. May your will be done. Amen"

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

Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow. I beg you for healing and ask for your generous forgiveness. Intercede before the Lord God for a sick slave (sick slave) (say the name of the sufferer). Reject all bodily ailments and mental turmoil. Send down a speedy recovery and reject the severe test. Let the sick (sick) get better quickly, and his (her) soul will get rid of grief. May your will be done. Amen.

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

There is another indisputable axiom: the aspirations and thoughts of the mother are most understandable to the same, who has endured the pain, bitterness, suffering of the mother. In other words, the miraculous healing prayer will be the prayer of the Most Holy Theotokos - the mother of the Son of God. She is addressed like this:

“O Blessed Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your shelter my children (names), all the youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as if You are the Divine protection of Your servants. Amen"

The Most Holy Theotokos will also hear such a prayer for the health of the child:

“Mother of God, introduce me into the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the spiritual and bodily wounds of my children (names), inflicted by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen"

However, any words addressed to God will be heard. The main thing is that they are pronounced from the heart, with faith. Sincere mother's prayer is the strongest. So it has always been and always will be.

to the Lord

Sweetest Jesus, God of my heart! You gave me children according to the flesh, they are Yours according to the soul; You have redeemed both my soul and theirs with Your priceless blood; For the sake of Your Divine blood, I beg You, my Sweetest Savior: by Your grace, touch the hearts of my children (names) and my godchildren (names), protect them with Your Divine fear, keep them from bad inclinations and habits, direct them to the bright path of life, truth and goodness, adorn their lives with everything good and saving, arrange their fate as if you yourself are good and save their souls in the image of fate.
Lord God of our fathers! Give my children (names) and my godchildren (names) a right heart to keep Your commandments, Your revelations and Your statutes and do all this.

God! To the Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your goodness has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them by baptism for life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church. God! Keep them in a blessed state until the end of life; make them worthy to be partakers of the mysteries of Your Covenant; sanctify with your truth; may your holy name be sanctified in them and through them! Send me Your grace-filled help in their upbringing for the glory of Your name and the good of your neighbor! Grant me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - your fear! Illuminate them with the light of the ruling universe of Your Wisdom! May they love You with all their soul and with all their thoughts, may they cleave to You with all their heart and all their lives, may they tremble at Your words! Grant me understanding to convince them that true life consists in keeping Your commandments; that labor, strengthened by piety, delivers serene contentment in this life and inexpressible bliss in eternity. Reveal to them the understanding of Your law! Yes, until the end of their days they act in the feeling of Your omnipresence! Instill in their hearts horror and aversion from all lawlessness, may they be blameless in their ways, may they always remember that You are the All-good God, a zealot of Your law and righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name! Let them not discredit Your Church with their behavior, but let them live according to its precepts! Inspire them with a desire for useful teaching and make them capable of every good deed! May they acquire a true understanding of those subjects whose information is necessary in their state; May they be enlightened by knowledge beneficial to humanity.

God! Wise me to imprint with indelible features in the mind and heart of my children the fear of fellowship with those who do not know Your fear, inspire them with every possible distance from any union with the lawless. May they not heed rotten conversations, may they not listen to frivolous people, may they not be led astray from Your path by bad examples, may they not be tempted by the fact that sometimes the path of the lawless is prosperous in this world!
Heavenly Father! Grant me grace in every way to beware of giving my children a temptation by my actions, but, constantly keeping in mind their behavior, distract them from delusions, correct their errors, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity; let them not be carried away by foolish thoughts, let them not follow their hearts, let them not become proud in their thoughts, let them not forget you and your law. May the iniquity of their mind and health not destroy them, may the sins of their spiritual and bodily forces not relax. Righteous Judge, punishing children for the sins of their parents up to the third and fourth generation, turn away such punishment from my children, do not punish them for my sins, but sprinkle them with the dew of Thy grace, may they prosper in virtue and holiness, may they grow in Thy favor and in love pious people.

Father of bounty and all mercy! As a parent, I would wish my children every abundance of earthly blessings, I would wish them blessings from the dew of heaven and from the fat of the earth, but may Thy holy will be with them! Arrange their fate according to Your good pleasure, do not deprive them of their daily bread in life, send down to them everything necessary in time for the acquisition of blessed eternity; be merciful to them when they sin against you; do not impute to them the sins of youth and their ignorance, bring their hearts to contrition when they resist the guidance of Thy goodness; punish them and have mercy, directing them to the path that is pleasing to You, but do not reject them from Your face! Accept their prayers with favor, grant them success in every good deed, do not turn Your face away from them in the days of their sorrow, so that their temptations will not overtake them beyond their strength. Overshadow them with Your mercy, may Your angel walk with them and save them from every misfortune and evil path, All-good God! Make me a mother rejoicing over her children, may they be my joy in the days of my life and my support in my old age. Deign me, with hope in Your mercy, to stand with them at Your Last Judgment and with unworthy boldness to say: "Here I am and my children whom You have given me, Lord!" Yes, together with them glorifying Thy inexpressible goodness and eternal love, I exalt Thy most holy name, Father, Son and Holy Soul, forever and ever. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, unworthy servant (name). Lord, in Your gracious power, my children, Your servants (names). Have mercy and save them, for Your name's sake. Lord, forgive them all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, committed by them before You. Lord, guide them on the true path of Your commandments and enlighten their minds with the light of Christ for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body. Lord, bless them at home, at school, on the road, and in every place of Your dominion. Lord, save them under Your holy shelter from a flying bullet, poison, fire, from a deadly ulcer and vain death. Lord, protect them from all visible and invisible enemies, from any disease, cleanse them from all filth and ease their mental suffering. Lord, grant them the grace of Your Holy Spirit for many years of life, health, chastity. Lord, multiply and strengthen them mental capacity and bodily strength. Thee granted to them, Your blessing on a pious and, if You please, family life and shameless childbearing. Lord, grant me, unworthy and sinful servant of Yours (name), a parental blessing on my children and Your servants at the present time, morning, day, night for the sake of Your name, for Your Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen.
