Mother's prayer for her newborn son. Prayer to all saints and ethereal heavenly powers

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, try to find a way to the luminaries of medicine, to get into 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 unchangeable 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 strong prayer- a mother’s sincere prayer 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 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. Holy Mother of God, by 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 “servant of God”, 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? The strongest healer, healing complex diseases according to the laws of the Lord, since ancient times it has been considered 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. So be it. 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 the 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 should be placed at 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 sorrow. 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.

This is a prayer for the health of a newborn baby. Prayer is very useful and powerful. Both the mother and father of the child can pray. Prayer has one goal - for the child to be healthy. Based on reviews, I can say that prayer really helps a child not get sick. Although it is almost impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of prayer, there are too many subjective feelings and virtually no objective and verified data for accurate analysis. But be that as it may, this prayer is popular among parents.

You can pray 2-3 times a day or more often. In principle, no special time is specified for this prayer - we thought about the child and prayed. Repeat the prayer 3 times.

Prayer text

“Heavenly Father, I pray for the health of my newborn child. Give him strength and strength to withstand illness and any troubles. Give him your love, mercy and protection. Lord, forever and ever, amen.”

Is there a prayer for the health of a child? What is she like? When should you read a prayer for the baby’s recovery? Under what conditions?

We heal with prayer

Priest Alexey Grachev:

“In order to properly treat a person, big or small, we need to know why a person is sick in general, what is a disease, what are its causes and what actually hurts?

The Lord created man in His image - that is, the Holy Trinity, and human nature is three-component. A person consists of body, soul and spirit.

Before the Fall, these three compositions were intact. The Fall led to their separation, and therefore body, soul and spirit live separately in man.

Only in a baptized person does the grace of holy Baptism open up the possibility of the life of a spiritual being, the possibility of reuniting disunited principles.

A carnal man sees all human manifestations only with carnal vision. A spiritual person is already trying to find a reason in the spiritual; he sees objects and phenomena from a greater height, from a greater distance and examines them in volume.”

We know that maternal prayer has enormous power, but prayer does not cancel timely contact with a specialist.

Priest Alexey Grachev:

“Of course, when a child falls ill, the parents’ hearts cannot be calm; anxiety begins, which often, unfortunately, turns into fussiness. And prayer helps to leave this fussiness behind. Here you can do this. If mom and dad feel like they are in a state of panic, then they need to stop for a moment. Just get up and do nothing. Approach the icon. Gather your courage. Pray. Then quietly, calmly continue your business.

Because this fussiness brings nothing but frustration to the child, even from the point of view of elementary psychophysiology, which, of course, is not very tied to this, but simply always manifests itself as an effect of an accompanying nature - a calm child, indeed, is always in a state of such This balance, the inner middle, and this inner balance triggers all physiological processes in a different way. They just flow in a completely different way, they reach the goal. A person who dances on the spot will never hit the mark with a bow. You need to stop - and then shoot.

What if there is a very high temperature or acute poisoning, or some other danger, when every second is precious?

Even if the temperature suddenly jumps, then “Lord, have mercy” can always be said before doing anything. Or even simultaneously with treatment. This is especially necessary in times of danger! You can also do this: let the other children stand at the icon and pray for their sick brother or sister, and we will help him in every possible way.

When the Lord and his disciples were sailing in a boat, he fell asleep, a storm began, so that the boat was covered with waves, the disciples woke Him up in fear and trembling, and the first thing He said: “Why are you so fearful, O you of little faith?” How could you doubt whether you would live or not if I am with you in the same boat? Then, getting up, he rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was great silence (Matthew 8:24-26). And this feeling should be: that the Lord is happy. We must love Him, we must always be with Him.”

Spiritual life of the family

“It is important to give the child the Holy Mysteries of Christ in order to lay a good foundation for his treatment. And our Church stands on the Blood of the Lord, and every good deed must be strengthened by the Body and Blood of Christ.

It is very good to submit a note of health at the church for the liturgy.

For everyone mentioned in the notes, the priest at the altar takes out particles from the prosphora. After the transubstantiation of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ - this is done mysteriously, by the Holy Spirit, during the Divine Liturgy - the priest immerses these particles into the holy Chalice and prays for all those remembered, that their sins may be washed away by the Blood of Christ. The holy prosphora, from which the particles have been removed, is then brought home and eaten on an empty stomach, every day with holy water.

It is good to order a prayer service for the health of a sick baby - say, the saint whose name he bears. Bring the water blessed at the prayer service home and give the child something to drink, as often as possible.

Holy water can be given to a patient not only on an empty stomach, but throughout the day. You can wash your child’s head, face, body with this water, and wipe his eyes. This is why water is consecrated in the temple - to heal us. Therefore, we will constantly take it from the temple, drink it, anoint ourselves with it, sprinkle our home, clothes and things we use. There should always be Epiphany water in the house for such special occasions. And it is good to accept all this with prayer in order to receive sanctification and strengthening.

You can order a sorokoust for health - then the child will be commemorated in the temple for forty days. All the church help that can be provided to him, let him be provided.

You can put an icon closer to his crib, so that the child, when he lies and is sick, can see it. It would be nice to light the lamp. When parents enter the room, it is advisable that they bless their son or daughter with their three fingers, especially at night. You can surround the child with blessed objects, put a cross next to him so that he kisses it more often. You can kiss the pectoral cross, which, of course, should be on the child.

It’s good if the children get used to it: we never take off the cross. Even if I wash a child, the cross remains on him.

Sometimes parents have unnecessary fears - they say that the ribbon can harm the child, cause suffocation, etc. There has never been such a case in the entire history of Orthodoxy. So all worries can be left here. The Cross of Christ is ours main defense. The devil was defeated by the Savior's feat of the cross. Defeated, but not destroyed. Therefore, he sends us thoughts against the cross. All these thoughts always come only from him.

For that matter, the child reflexively changes his body position in case of any inconvenience. And he will always straighten the ribbon on which the cross hangs, even in his sleep,” writes priest Alexey Grachev.

These actions should not be given a “ritual” character; these are not therapeutic measures, but a completely natural desire of a believer to turn to God in difficult times and protect the child from the influence of illness.

Priest Alexey Grachev:

“How good it is if a child knows how to pray!

Sometimes parents do not dare to read the “adult” Gospel to their children - they read the “Children’s Bible”. Already from the age of seven, or even earlier, you can read the canonical text so that the child gets accustomed to complete spiritual food. Do not feed him with artificial nutrition, but with breast milk. And also – the lives of saints. Their exploits and patience will strengthen us.

How important it is for a child to enter into spiritual life! Everything changes: even a high temperature does not cause him much concern. Even some bodily troubles are tolerated differently. There are none of those vagaries that often accompany illness, increased demands on parents, or constant “moms!” dad!” - to which the parents run and hover around him. When a child gets sick, he already knows how to behave during illness.”

Prayer for physical health does not contradict Christian morality, because the Lord does not send illnesses to people, but allows physical trials in order to save a person’s soul.

Siblings of a sick child

“St. The Apostle Paul says that if one member of the body suffers, then the others also suffer. If your hand hurts, your other hand feels it. A family is a single body.

It’s very good when there are a lot of children in it. They then react sensitively to the illness of one of their brothers or sisters. For them, as well as for the patient himself, this is a whole school. It is advisable that they take part in his treatment: bring, say, cranberry juice, wash the dishes after him - of course, if this is not infectious disease, which requires quarantine. Other children need to be made to understand that now we have a special time, so that this event receives a spiritual response from everyone, so that the whole family lives prayerfully and there is no indifference when one is sick, and there is noise and play in the next room.

And it’s good when other children, while a brother or sister is sick, take on his usual housework. As a rule, this is done with pleasure: my sister is sick, which means we will do more today – and for her.

Other children then also begin to live with sympathy, begin to speak in a whisper, and every morning they approach their sick brother or sister with the question: “How are you feeling?” They already feel responsible for it. And, most importantly, children begin to pray for their brother or sister. In the evening they get up for prayer and read evening rule, and in addition, a prayer is also read for the health of the sick person. And he strengthens, feels this support. This is how a family is truly created, as a single whole, as one soul, as a small Church.”

Child and suffering. How to comprehend this, how to bear it?

Priest Alexey Grachev:

“Having visited orphanage, you leave with the feeling that maybe this world, which the enemy of the human race seeks to turn into a continuous “Disneyland” with meaninglessly happy robots chewing and smiling from ear to ear, this fallen pornographic world still holds on only because there are children who suffering outweighs the scales of our godlessness and unrepentance. The destinies of these children will be revealed in eternity. Diseases and “abnormalities” are phenomena only of earthly life. If God did not create death, but it entered the world through apostasy from Him, through sin, then all the more He did not create disease...

Sick children take on the feat of martyrdom and foolishness so that the Lord will not be completely angry with this world, and perhaps thanks to them we still have time to repent. But we, due to our unrepentance, due to our habit of not thinking about our sins, but blaming someone else for them, do not feel this.

And now there is a murmur: if, they say, God is fair, then how does He allow children to suffer?

Yes, God is fair. He doesn't teach us to sin. He says: “Be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48).

The question of why children suffer would not be difficult for us, if in this, as in everything else, we looked to Christ the Savior and measured our whole lives with Him. Why do children suffer? Why did the Savior Himself suffer? After all, He is sinless. Every baby born into the world bears the mark of original sin. But the Lord didn’t have even that. He - purer than any child - suffered, and how!..

Here is the answer to the question: why do children suffer? For our sins. For our negligence about the salvation of their souls, about our own salvation. Our parental task is not only to provide children with physical existence, but, above all, to educate them spiritually, to open the way to God. Here is the word of the Savior: “Do not hinder them from coming to Me” (Matthew 19:14).

If we don’t bring a baby to church, don’t teach him to pray, if we don’t have an icon or Gospel at home, if we don’t try to live piously, then we are preventing him from coming to Christ. And this is our most important sin, which also falls on our children.

This is why children suffer for our sins, even if they are not to blame. We are connected with them by an invisible thread, they contain our blood and spirit. If they were not our children, they would not suffer for us. But then they would not have been born from us. Sin is the greatest evil because the innocent suffer from it. But according to the same law, the sins of others are atoned for by the suffering of some. “By His stripes we are healed,” we say about the Lord Jesus Christ, who opened the door of salvation for us.”

What every Orthodox person needs to know

Priest Alexey Grachev:

“In extreme cases, when the person preparing for baptism is in mortal danger, and the priest cannot arrive soon, the laity can also perform baptism, so that no one dies unenlightened. You can and should be baptized at any time - from the day the baby is born. If necessary, you can baptize with either boiled water or unclean water from a puddle. With such baptism, it is only required that the baptizer be Orthodox, understanding the importance of Divine baptism; so that he accurately pronounces the form of baptism when immersing or pouring water three times:

THE Servant of GOD (or Servant of GOD) IS BAPTIZED, in the name of the rivers, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER, AMEN, AND OF THE SON, AMEN, AND OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AMEN.

In the breviary of Peter the Mogila it is said about this: “If there is a priest there, let him baptize, and not a deacon; even if he is a deacon, he is, and not a subdeacon; If anyone is a cleric, he is not a simpleton; he is the husband, not the wife. For the sake of cold, is it more worthy for a wife to baptize a baby than for a husband, or is it better for a wife to be able to pronounce the form of baptism and pour water on it.”

After baptism, water must be poured into a river or into a place that is not trampled underfoot.

If after this the person baptized by a layman is alive, then the baptism must be supplemented by a priest.”

Likewise, we, sinners and unworthy Thy servants, relying on Thy Divine words, humbly falling before Thy Majesty, touchingly ask Thy Divine mercy and ineffable love for mankind: open to us the doors of Thy mercy and forgive all our sins, voluntary and involuntary, in the image of Thy goodness with anger and Your love for mankind with irritation; heal our sinful illness; transform our mental and physical ailments into health, transform our infirmities into strength, transform our sorrows into joy and transform our sorrows into consolation; Take away from us all despondency and oblivion; Strengthen our mind and keep it whole, so that we can always learn from Your commandments; Correct all our lives, to do Your good and perfect will.

Prayerful reading of the Gospel

“Reading the Psalter tames passions, and reading the Gospel burns the thorns of our sins: for the word of God is a consuming fire. Once, over the course of forty days, I read the Gospel about the salvation of a soul who had done good to me, and then I saw in a dream a field covered with thorns. Suddenly fire falls from heaven, burns up the thorns that covered the field, and the field remains clear. Perplexed about this vision, I hear a voice: the thorns that covered the field are the sins of the soul that did you good; the fire that burned him is the word of God, what you have given her for her.” Venerable Elder Parthenius of Kiev-Pechersk (+1855)

“The Gospel... This book is the mother of all books, it is also a prayer above prayers, and it is a guide to the Kingdom of Heaven, and it brings people to true understanding on earth, and it makes us worthy to see God with our hearts while still in the flesh, and it makes us worthy to see God face to face in the world to come. enjoy the sweet vision of the Holy Trinity.”

Prayer

Save, O Lord, and have mercy on Thy servant (name of the rivers) with the words of Thy Divine Gospel, which are about the salvation of this Thy servant. The thorns of all his sins, voluntary and involuntary, have fallen, Lord. And may Thy grace dwell in him, scorching, cleansing, sanctifying the whole person, in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

(And the chapter of the Holy Gospel is read. Then this prayer can be read again, then the next chapter of the Gospel, etc.)

Prayer to the holy righteous Simeon the God-Receiver

Have you read the article Prayer for the health of the child | Prayer for sick children. Read other materials about prayers:

The most powerful prayer is the one that comes from the depths of the heart, the one that is supported by the strongest power of love and a selfless, sincere desire to help another.

The standard for such a prayer can be a mother’s prayer.

Parents love their children not for their merits and deeds, they love them simply for what they are. Parents wish their children only the best, the good, and they wish it unselfishly, from the depths of their souls. When a child is sick, the mother is also sick, but she is sicker - she is sick with all her soul. At such moments, the mother sincerely, with tears in her eyes, turns to the Almighty with a prayer, in the hope of a quick healing of her little one. It is in such moments that the full power of prayer, its power and goodness, is “revealed.” It is at such moments that miracles happen.

And believe me - it's not easy beautiful words and strong epithets, these are the real truth, which I have felt more than once on myself and on my children. If they ask me: “Oleg, what are your earliest memories in your life?” - I will answer: “I, sick, with a fever, am hanging in my mother’s arms and dozing under a sincere prayer for my health.” It was my mother’s prayer that helped me avoid surgery (the doctors called it a miracle, but I know where it came from), it was she who helped me survive 13 pneumonias in early childhood and come out of the army unharmed. Time passes and my mother is no longer there, but her prayer still invisibly protects me and I myself, having matured considerably and aged a little, sincerely pray for the health of my baby, whom I love very much, whom I love for his smile, for his little fingers, for every hair of him - I love him deeply, to the point of pain in my heart, I love him for the fact that he simply exists in my life. And now he is better, his fever (sore throat) has subsided and he smiles in his sleep, but it couldn’t have been any other way, because a son miraculously appeared in our lives precisely because of our sincere prayer.

About the development of the mind in children and assistance in learning

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos before the icon of Her “Giver of Mind” or “Add of Mind”

O Most Holy Virgin!

You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ!

You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates.

Have mercy on us too, who have gravely sinned and failed to fulfill the commandments of God, who have broken the vows of baptism and vows of monasticism and many others that we promised to fulfill.

When the Holy Spirit retreated from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit.

The mind has become fussy with vanity of thoughts, oblivion about God has darkened our souls, and now all kinds of sadness, sorrow, illness, hatred, evil, enmity, vindictiveness, gloating and other sins oppress the heart. And, having no joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beseech Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send the Comforter Spirit to us, as He sent Him to the apostles, so that, consoled and enlightened by Him, we will sing a song of gratitude to You : Rejoice, Holy Mother of God, who has added wisdom to our salvation.

Prayer 3

O heavenly citizen of Jerusalem, Reverend Father Sergius!

Look upon us graciously and lead those who are devoted to the earth to the heights of heaven.

You are a mountain in Heaven; We are on earth, below, removed from you, not only by place, but by our sins and iniquities; but to you, as our kin, we resort and cry: teach us to walk in your way, enlighten us and guide us. It is characteristic of you, Our Father, to be compassionate and to love mankind: living on earth, you should not only care about your own salvation, but also about all those who come to you. Your instructions were the reed of a scribe, a cursive writer, inscribing the verbs of life on everyone’s heart. You did not only heal bodily illnesses, but more than spiritual ones, an elegant physician appeared, and your whole holy life was a mirror of all virtues. Even though you were so holy, more holy than God, on earth: how much more are you now in Heaven! Today you stand before the Throne of the Unapproachable Light, and in it, like in a mirror, see all our needs and petitions; You are together with the Angels, rejoicing over the one sinner who repents. And God’s love for mankind is inexhaustible, and your boldness towards Him is great: do not stop crying to the Lord for us.

Through your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, under the sign of the militant Cross, agreement in faith and unity of wisdom, destruction of vanity and schism, affirmation in good deeds, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy.

Do not disgrace us, who come to you with faith. Even though you are unworthy of such a father and intercessor, you, an imitator of God’s love for mankind, made us worthy by turning from evil deeds to good living. All God-enlightened Russia, filled with your miracles and blessed by your mercies, confesses you to be their patron and intercessor.

Show your ancient mercies, and those whom you helped your father, do not reject us, their children, who are marching towards you in their footsteps. We believe that you are present with us in spirit. Where the Lord is, as His word teaches us, there His servant will be. You are a faithful servant of the Lord, and I exist everywhere with God, you are in Him, and He is in you, moreover, you are with us in body. Behold your incorruptible and life-giving relics, like a priceless treasure, may God grant us miracles. Before them, as I live for you, we fall down and pray: accept our prayers and offer them on the altar of God’s mercy, so that we may receive grace from you and timely help in our needs.

Strengthen us, the faint-hearted, and confirm us in the faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Master through your prayers. Do not cease to rule your spiritual flock, gathered by you, with the rod of spiritual wisdom: help those who struggle, raise up the weakened, hasten to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and guide us all in peace and repentance, end our lives and settle with hope in the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you now rest joyfully after your labors and struggles, glorifying with all the saints God, glorified in the Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer 4

O venerable and God-bearing Father Sergius!

Look upon us (names) mercifully and, those who are devoted to the earth, lead us to the heights of heaven. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Lord God through your prayers. By your intercession, ask for every gift that is useful to everyone and for everyone, and through your prayers that help us, grant us all, on the day of the Last Judgment, to be delivered from the last part, and the right hand of the country to be partakers of life and to hear the blessed voice of the Lord Christ: come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world . Amen.

Prayer to all saints and ethereal heavenly forces for the enlightenment of the mind.

You yourself act all in all, many saints have been accomplished in every generation and generation, having pleased you with various virtues, and leaving us with an image of your good deeds, in the joy that has passed, prepare, in it the temptations themselves were, and help us who are attacked .

Remembering all these saints and praising their godly lives, I praise You Himself, who acted in them, and believing in Your goodness, the gift of being, I diligently pray to You, Holy of Holies, grant to me a sinner to follow their teaching, moreover, by Your all-effective grace, heavenly ones with them be worthy of glory, praising the most holy Your name, Father and Son and Holy Spirit forever.

Accept, Lady Theotokos, the tearful prayers of Your servants who flow to You. We see You on the holy icon, carrying in your arms and feeding with milk Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN!

I would be glad if you help develop the site by clicking on the buttons below :) Thank you!

It’s hard for any mother to see her children sick. A prayer for the child’s health will help alleviate the baby’s condition and save him from illness. In these cases, mothers pray for their children.

You can ask any saint for health - maybe some God's saint fell in love with you more than others, or in your family it is traditional to resort to the help of a specific saint in all sorrows.

They usually ask the holy great martyr Panteleimon for the sick - during his earthly life he was a doctor, and was awarded by God many miracles of healing due to his boundless faith. They ask Panteleimon for healing from all sorts of illnesses, especially from the evil eye and other magic.

We should always remember that only God is capable of allowing human illness - and He is also capable of healing it.

The saints themselves, to whose help we resort, are intercessors and mediators between Almighty God and us, sinful people. It is important to warn all parents who pray for the health of their children about this - so that they do not accidentally show disrespect for God.

How to pray correctly?

If you pray (it doesn’t matter whether it is a mother’s prayer for the granting of health to a child, or a request for the success of a business begun) - keep your soul pure, do not believe in fortune-telling, spells, do not cast spells or cast spells, refuse all pseudo-Orthodox actions that you are offered to perform . Don’t be afraid to seem naive or look stupid - ask and ask the priest about the actions offered to you on the side - he will tell you exactly what is right and useful, and what is an act displeasing to God.

Types of prayers

A prayer for good health to the Most Holy Mother of God is said in church or in private (at home). It is usually customary to ask for help from the saint in front of whose icon petitions are offered, but if this is not possible, ask for help from any place and position - strong maternal prayer protects children in a moment of danger, even if you are far from the icons.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary “For good health”

“Now we are diligent to the Mother of God, sinners and humility, and let us fall, in repentance calling from the depths of our souls: Lady, help us, having had mercy on us, struggling, we are perishing from many sins, do not turn away your slaves, for you are the only hope of the imams. Offering to my queen, my hope Mother of God, friend of the orphaned and strange, the intercessor of the sorrowing, the joyful, the offended patroness! See my misfortune, see my sorrow, help me as I am weak, feed me as I am strange. Weigh my offense, resolve it as if by will: for I have no other help except You, no other intercessor, no good comforter, except You, O Mother of God, for you will preserve me and cover me forever and ever. Amen."

In this case, one should distinguish between the impossibility of reading prayers in front of the icon and simple laziness. If you pray at home on the sofa, are not sick and can stand in front of icons, you are committing a sin, such prayer will be of no use.

Saint Nicholas, Peace Lycian Wonderworker, became famous for many miracles during his earthly life, and relentlessly helps everyone who comes to him for help - especially mothers asking for their children. The Saint loved children very much and always protected and protected them. You can also pray to him for the health and salvation of children.

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker “For the health of children”

Hear us sinners, praying to you and calling on your quick intercession for help: see us weak, caught from everywhere, deprived of every good and darkened in mind from cowardice: strive, servant of God, not leave us in the sinful captivity of being, so that we will not joyfully be our enemy and not die in our evil deeds. Pray for us unworthy of our Creator and Master, to whom you stand with disembodied faces: make our God merciful to us in this life and in the future, so that He will not reward us according to our deeds and the impurity of our hearts, but according to His goodness He will reward us. We trust in your intercession, we boast of your intercession, we call upon your intercession for help, and falling to your most holy image, we ask for help: deliver us, saint of Christ, from the evils that come upon us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not overwhelm us and we will not be desecrated in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions. Pray to Saint Nicholas of Christ, Christ our God, that he may grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

The holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon, a great saint of God, lived in pagan Rome and suffered for his faith in Christ. At the same time, he was a respected man, a famous doctor who healed children and adults with the power of medicine and faith. Panteleimon debunked the myths about the power of idols, exposed the demons that acted through them.

Prayer to Panteleimon “For the health of children”

“O holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon, merciful imitator of God! Look with mercy and hear us sinners who pray fervently before your holy icon. Ask us from the Lord God, Who stands with the angels in heaven, for the forgiveness of our sins and transgressions. Heal diseases the spiritual and physical servants of God who are now remembered, those present here and all Orthodox Christians who flow to your intercession. Behold, for our sin, we are fiercely possessed by many ailments and are not imams of help and consolation: we resort to you, as you have given the grace to pray for us and heal every ailment and every disease. Grant therefore to all of us, through your holy prayers, health and well-being of souls and bodies, advancement of faith and piety, and all that is needed for temporary life and salvation, for having been granted great and rich mercies by you, let us glorify you and the giver of all blessings, wondrous in the saints of our God, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen."

Therefore, the healer Panteleimon has special power for healing various kinds of evil eyes, conspiracies and the like. terrible consequences witchcraft.

Read the life of St. Panteleimon out loud - it is written in an easy, engaging way, and learning about it is useful for both you and your child.

Mother Matrona of Moscow was crippled (she was blind), but at the same time she always helped those who resorted to her help to heal illnesses. Mothers are accustomed to asking for their children from the blessed Mother, who always helps to recover from even the most serious illness.

Prayer to Matrona “For Children”

“O blessed mother Matrono, hear and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, who throughout your entire life has learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn, with faith and hope for those who resort to your intercession and help, quick help and miraculous healing for all serving; May your mercy not fail now for us, unworthy, restless in this busy world and nowhere finding consolation and compassion in spiritual sorrows and help in bodily illnesses: heal our illnesses, deliver us from the temptations and torment of the devil, who passionately fights, help us convey our everyday Cross, to bear all the hardships of life and not lose the image of God in it, to preserve the Orthodox faith until the end of our days, to have strong trust and hope in God and unfeigned love for others; help us, after departing from this life, to achieve the Kingdom of Heaven with all those who please God, glorifying the mercy and goodness of the Heavenly Father, glorified in the Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen."

Not only Christianity has its own mother’s prayers for the health of children: Muslim mothers pray in their own way. The main thing that Muslim prayers for children require is sincerity towards Allah and humiliation before Him. A prayer must be answered - this is what Islamic theologians say.
