Prayer is a great way to approach the Lord and receive his help and protection. A prayer for the patientās recovery is a prayer for help addressed to a higher power asking for the gift of health. The most powerful patrons among the saints who help restore good health are Panteleimon and Luke of Crimea. Let's talk about these prayers and those to whom they are addressed.
The power of prayer
A prayer for the patient's recovery can be read at different times of the day. Special collections of sacred texts have been created for Christians.
Morning time is great for prayer. As the sun rises, we have a new opportunity to trust God, worship him and start a new start. Everything that happened before has disappeared. You can ask God for the gift of health and well-being for the whole day.
Prayer before eating is another way we can come to God with gratitude and worship. In the world where we live, take everything for granted. Prayer reminds us that everything ultimately comes from the creator - God.
At night, we can think about the past day and remember how we felt the protection and love of God. Prayer before bedtime is also important because it must always be in our hearts and prepares us for dreams.
The Bible calls us to āturn all our anxieties on you, because he cares for usā (1 Peter 5: 7). When we go to bed, we give our cares to God and remind him of ourselves.

Help of St. Panteleimon
Panteleimonās prayer for the patientās recovery is the strongest when you need help. Who was the man who was counted among the saints?
St. Panteleimon, the great doctor and martyr, was born at the end of the 3rd century AD. His father was not only very rich, but also well known for idol worship; while his mother was faithful to Orthodoxy, full of the Holy Spirit, love and kindness. Her only interest was to instruct her newly born son in true faith and virtuous life.
Panteleimon's first name was Pantoleon. When he was very young, his mother passed away and his father taught the child to worship the false gods of his ancestors. Pantoleon studied medicine under the guidance of the wise doctor Euphrosinos and was soon separated from all his classmates by wisdom and all virtues. Even the Roman emperor Maximian admired his kind character. He ordered Euphrosynus to teach the young man all the secrets of medicine so that Pantoleon became his own personal doctor.
During this period, in the Greek city of Nicomedia there was an old man named Ermolaos, who was considered an Orthodox priest. He foresaw that the young Pantoleon would become the vessel of the grace of Christ and glorify it. Once, when Pantoleon passed by, he called a young doctor to his home and asked him about his family and religious beliefs. Pantoleon, as noble as he, politely answered all his questions. St. Ermolaos told him what he thinks about medicine of Asclepius, Hippocrates and Galen.
He taught Pantoleon the doctrine of the Orthodox Christian faith that Christ is the only true God who created heaven and earth. Recalled that his mother believed in Jesus Christ. He also emphasized that Christ is a true physician of soul and body, and assured that if he believes in Christ, he will cure all diseases through Divine healing grace.
Pantoleon heard all the wise words of Yermol. One day, when he was returning home after school, he found on the sidelines of a boy who died because he was bitten by a viper snake. Pantoleon prayed to Jesus Christ, saying: āIf You are the true God, as Ermolaos says, let this boy rise from the dead and let the viper die.ā Immediately the boy returned to life, and the snake died.
This was the proof he needed. Panteleimon returned to Yermolaos and was baptized. Since that day, the young doctor has performed so many miracles in the name of Jesus Christ that his glory traveled throughout the Roman Empire. From all parts of Asia Minor, Greece and Rome, sick people came to the imperial doctor and were cured of diseases. He never demanded payment for his services, but only requested that patients believe in the true God and become Orthodox Christians. Prayer to Panteleimon (see the figure below) is a strong prayer for the recovery of the patient.
Help Luke Crimean
Throughout his life, Luka Krymsky also sought to help people. In his youth, he was famous for his ability to paint. But in the text of the Bible I found words about the need to benefit humanity. And he devoted his subsequent life to this.
Lukeās prayer for the patientās recovery is very strong. Since Luke was a great doctor, healing not only the body, but also the soul. Later, after the death of his wife, he decided to become a priest and made a fast career.
During the years of Soviet rule, Father Valentin (St. Luke) was convicted several times and imprisoned. Serving people was not easy. For numerous cases of saving human lives, the archbishop was canonized. Prayer to Luka Krymsky for the recovery of the patient (see. Figure) helps restore physical and mental condition.
To summarize
During an illness, a person turns to higher powers to receive help and healing. A special power is inherent in the prayers addressed to St. Panteleimon and Luke of Crimea. The help of St. Matrona has long been known. The texts of such appeals to the Lord will help in a difficult situation.
Saints Panteleimon and Luke sincerely served people sincerely, were great healers. But they suffered persecution of ill-wishers. For patience and persistence in the faith, these doctors are ranked as saints. It is believed that they can become reliable mediators before God when it is necessary to give him a request for healing.
In Christian churches you can always see the icons of St. Panteleimon and Luke, turn to them with prayer. And the Lord will hear the request!
