Belief in higher powers originated a very long time ago, at the dawn of mankind. For how many millennia we exist on this Earth, conquered the ocean abysses, the vastness of space, the depths of soils. But all the same, as soon as situations arise that get out of control, we raise our eyes to the sky and begin to earnestly and earnestly pray for help. For humanity has never come up with anything stronger than a prayer word sincerely addressed to God and the holy martyrs. Because they can fail medicine, refuse technology, betray people. And only the Lord will always hear, reach out, support, save.
Prayer to help the afflicted
If you need any prayer for the sick, you must have a special collection. In it, not only all the necessary texts are collected, but they are already distributed thematically, depending on which is the most effective for which ailment. The collection is called “Prayer Book”.
The table of contents indicates what should be read for headaches, and for deafness or migraine. The first and second prayers for the sick are indicated separately - common to all those suffering from bodily and mental illnesses. Carry a collection with you, this is a real ambulance for a variety of ailments. And even if you don’t have those icons that are recommended in the Prayer Book, God and His assistants will not remain deaf to your needs.
“Save and have mercy”
The Bible says that the Lord left “Our Father” as the main appeal to himself. The lines that most of us have known since early childhood can very well be used as a prayer for the sick. Plus, a short but very capacious exclamation: “Merciful God, save, save and have mercy!”
Psalm 90 of the Psalms is very good and effective. It is useful and needs to be read in any difficult situation, including for all serious illnesses. In general, the Psalter is also an invaluable book, which should be a table book in any family. The verses collected in it can be called a miraculous lifesaver for any vital "need" (need). Therefore, any prayer for the sick from the collection is effective and stronger than any medicine.
Explanation of the miracle
It’s hard to say why this is happening. Many things remain beyond human comprehension. Probably a large role is played by the Christian egrogor - the strongest spiritual energy, which, like electricity, is charged with every word in prayers. After all, they were pronounced by people for many years, countless times. Therefore, so much positive energy of faith and hope has accumulated in prayer texts.
She is also the source of the miracles of most ancient icons, monasteries and temples. For example, many believers have noticed more than once that when a prayer is said for sick parents or children in front of the images of the Mother of God or the healer Panteleimon, a person is seized with special awe, and then he feels peace, tranquility and confidence that everything will be fine.
The power of faith
Perhaps the most important factor influences the effectiveness of our requests to the Almighty. That is sincere faith. In general, all Orthodox miracles, including the first prayer for the healing of the sick, serve not only for the good of health and a better life, but also to strengthen faith, guidance on the true path, proof of God's power and power.
No wonder the Lord said: “Come to me, and I will calm you!”
