Faith in higher powers originated a long time ago, at the dawn of mankind. For how many millennia we have existed on this Earth, we have conquered the ocean abysses, the expanses of space, the depths of the soil. But all the same, as soon as situations arise that get out of control, we raise our eyes to the sky and begin to fervently and earnestly pray for help. For humanity has never come up with anything stronger than a word of prayer, sincerely addressed to God and the holy martyrs. Because medicines can fail, equipment can fail, people can betray. And only the Lord will always hear, stretch out his hands, support, save.
Prayer to help the suffering
If you need any prayer for the sick, you must have a special collection. It not only contains all the necessary texts, but they are already distributed thematically, depending on which one is the most effective for which ailment. The collection is called "Prayer Word".
The table of contents indicates what should be read for headaches, deafness or migraine. Separately, the first and second prayers for the sick are indicated - common to allsuffering from physical and mental ailments. Carry the collection with you, it is a real ambulance for a variety of ailments. And even if you do not have those icons that are recommended in the Prayer Book, God and His helpers will not remain deaf to your needs.
Save and have mercy
The Bible says that the Lord left the people as the main appeal to himself "Our Father". The lines, familiar to most of us from early childhood, may 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 from the Ps alter is very good and effective. It is useful and should be read in any difficult situation, including with all sorts of serious illnesses. In general, the Ps alter is also an invaluable book that should be a desktop in any family. The poems collected in it can be called a miraculous lifesaver for any life "requirement" (need). Therefore, any prayer for the sick from the collection is effective and acts stronger than any medicine.
Explanation of the miracle
It's hard to say why this is happening. Many things remain beyond human understanding. Probably, the Christian egrogor plays a big role - the strongest spiritual energy, which, like electricity, is charged with every word in prayers. After all, they have been spoken by people for many years, countless times. That is why so much positive energy of faith and hope has accumulated in prayer texts.
She is also the source of the miraculous power 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 a special thrill, and then he experiences peace, calmness and confidence that everything will be fine.
Power of Faith
Another most important, perhaps, factor affects the effectiveness of our requests to the Almighty. This is sincere faith. In general, all Orthodox miracles, including the first prayer for the healing of the sick, serve not only for the benefit of he alth and a better life, but also for strengthening faith, guidance on the true path, proof of God's strength and power.
It was not for nothing that the Lord said: “Come to me, and I will give you rest!”
