Schizophrenia is one of the most mysterious diseases of the human mind. On the one hand, this disease has been known for a long time, it has been studied and described. But on the other hand, quite often this term is used to refer to any mental disorder of an incomprehensible nature, that is, something that causes bewilderment among doctors.
Of course, it is hardly possible to cure schizophrenia with prayer, since such miracles of healing require an incredibly strong faith in the Lord, and in modern realities it is extremely difficult to find it. But that doesn't mean that you don't need to pray. Turning to the saints or the Lord helps to cope with experiences and alleviates the suffering of both the patient himself and his loved ones, gives confidence and strength.
Who and how to pray?
Traditionally, prayer for schizophrenia is addressed to St. Matrona of Moscow, Panteleimon and Nicholas the Wonderworker. Of course, they ask for help and other saints, the Mother of God, herselfGentlemen.
In order to ask for healing, relief of the condition, it is not at all necessary to attend church or memorize long and obscure texts. You can pray anywhere at a convenient time.
However, if you have the opportunity to visit the temple, you should not pray outside its walls. A special atmosphere reigns in churches, which not only enhances the energy message of prayer, but also has a calming, pacifying effect on a person. And this is extremely important in any life situation, but it is especially true when experiencing mental he alth problems.
As for the text, the prayer for schizophrenia is no different from other requests with which people turn to the saints and to the Lord. When praying, it is not the words that a person utters that are important, but the mental attitude. You need to ask for healing with deep faith in the power of the Lord, with hope and without a shadow of doubt. Prayer requires full concentration from a person. Therefore, it is important not only to put aside all vain thoughts and everyday worries, but also to understand the words of the text.
Is it obligatory to pray out loud?
The Church does not impose any restrictions on prayers. You can turn to the saints or the Lord for help in a way that is convenient for a person in need. Of course, there are no rules about how one should address Heaven - out loud or inwardly.
Many people are embarrassed to pray to the saints for help in healing mental illness in the temple, saying the text aloud. Even if the hall is empty, nervousness, fear that someone will hear aboutin case of trouble, they do not leave the prayer. Of course, such a state does not allow you to concentrate on your own request. A prayer uttered in such a stressful environment does not bring healing from schizophrenia, it does not even fill the soul with peace and tranquility. Therefore, if for some reason it is inconvenient to ask for help, saying the text aloud, you should pray to yourself.
Can I pray in my own words?
This question sooner or later becomes relevant for every believer. On the one hand, old texts that are used by many generations are endearing and credible. On the other hand, it is much easier to address God or saints in your own words.
A significant drawback of ancient texts is the abundance of words in them that have long gone out of everyday use, are difficult to pronounce and completely incomprehensible to modern man. Using such a text, the prayer involuntarily focuses his attention not on the prayer at all, but on whether he pronounces it correctly and remembers its words. Of course, such a prayer for schizophrenia will not bring healing and will not help. A strong energetic, sincere, heartfelt request, spoken in ordinary words, will be much more effective.
There are no church prescriptions for what prayer should be. Asking for help should be done with hope and deep faith, doing it the way your heart tells.
