How to Pray for Health
God loves every person who seeks protection and mercy if the sufferer sincerely believes in the Creator.

- it is advisable to put and light a candle for health in the church, to order a collective personal appeal to the Creator, indicating the name given at baptism.

Why Prayers Help
For several decades, American doctor of medical sciences Andrew Newberg has been researching how prayer for the health of a sick person affects the patient's brain.
The state of a believer was compared with the effect on the brain activity of meditation. A dye that does not harm the human body was injected into the blood. When reading a prayer appeal, the part of the brain responsible for speech was activated. A praying person is talking to God, as it were.
During meditation, the most active area is the visual area. The meditator is simply observing without receiving any help. For believers, the object of the conversation (God) becomes a reality. As a result, the activity of the brain is directed towards the liberation of a person from the disease. The scientist concluded that all religions have a similar effect on the brain, while stimulating the body to work for healing.
The state of the brain of people is characterized by 3 phases (fast or slow sleep, wakefulness). The studies revealed the fourth phase - prayer wakefulness, in which the rhythms of the brain are greatly slowed down.
Important! Dr. Slezin believes that in a state of prayer, the activity of the brain practically stops. The patient no longer focuses his attention on the problem of the disease, therefore, quite often there is a complete recovery.

Have mercy on me, a sinful slave, hear my groaning and cry, propitiate the heavenly, supreme Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, and grant me healing from my oppressive illness. Accept the unworthy prayer of the sinful man more than all others, visit me with a graceful visit, do not abhor my sinful sores, anoint your mercy with oil and heal me; Yes, healthy in soul and body, the rest of my days, by the grace of God, I can spend in repentance and pleasing to God and I will be worthy to receive the good end of my life. She, the saint of God! Pray Christ God, that through your intercession he grant me health to the body and the salvation of my soul. Amen.
This prayer is read in the absence of the person you are praying for.
There is another prayer which you can read with and without the sick:
Holy Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon, a merciful God imitator! Look with mercy and hear us, sinners, who pray fervently before your holy icon. Ask us from the Lord God, come to Him from the Angels in heaven, forgiveness of our sins and sins: heal the mental and physical diseases of God's servants, now remembered, here coming and all Orthodox Christians who come to your intercession: behold, we, by our sin fiercely, we are possessed by many ailments and not imams of help and consolation: we are resorting to you, as if we have given the grace to pray for us and heal every ailment and every illness; grant to all of us with your holy prayers the health and well-being of soul and body, the perfection of faith and piety, and everything necessary for temporary living and for salvation, as if, having been honored by you with great and rich mercies, let us glorify thee and the Giver of all blessings, wondrous in the saints, God our Father and Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Kazan Mother of God
This is one of the most famous (if such an epithet can be applied at all to icons) in the Orthodox world. Found in a miraculous way, for more than half a thousand years it has been working miracles, in particular, heals... Therefore, in front of this icon they pray for healing.
Oh, Most Holy Lady, Lady, Theotokos! With fear, faith and love, falling before Thy honest icon, we pray to Thee: do not turn Thy face away from those who come running to Thee, pray, the merciful Mother, Thy Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ, may preserve our peaceful country, let His Holy Church be inviolable will keep from unbelief, heresy and schism. Not imams of more help, not imams of other hopes, except for You, Most Pure Virgin: You are the all-powerful Christian Help and Intercessor. Deliver all those who pray to You with faith from the falls of sinful people, from the slander of evil people, from all temptations, sorrows, troubles and from vain death. Grant us the spirit of contrition, humility of heart, purity of thoughts, correction of sinful life and forsaking of sins, so that we glorify Thy majesty and mercy in all gratitude, let us be vouchsafed to the Heavenly Kingdom and there, together with all the saints, let us glorify the glorious and glorious name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for the health of a sick child
As many religious ascetics and mystics testify, children are not only better receptive to subtle energies, but also more susceptible to influences of a non-material nature. Any health problems of the child can often be associated with the evil eye, envy of other people, or induced damage.
Therefore, as a preventive measure (especially if ailments appear without any obvious reason), one should read the appropriate prayers and enlist the support of the saints, who protect from all kinds of negative influences.
In addition, you can do a cleansing rite, for example, with a church candle.... Nothing is difficult in this rite, just a church candle with a prayer is brought closer to all parts of the child's body. You should drive a candle close to the body and thus walk all over the body, if the candle begins to crack, then this sign indicates the possible presence of the evil eye and getting rid of it.
Children are often prayed for, which embodies the ideal of motherhood and parenting and can help you heal your own children. Here's a prayer you might find useful:
Mother of God, lead me into the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names), inflicted by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen.
Otherwise, you can use the previously suggested prayers, as they have tremendous power and bring healing.
As a complement, you can use the following option:
Lord Almighty, may Your mercy be on my child (name) (if there are 2 or more children, then we must say “on my children”), save and protect him under your cover, cover my child from all evil, give him away from him all enemies, open his eyes and ears, give humility and tenderness to a little heart. Lord God, we are all Your creatures, have pity on my child (name) and direct him to repentance. Save, God the Most High, and have mercy on my child (name) and shine through his mind with the bright light of the mind of Your Gospel, and direct him to the path of Your commandments, and teach him, Lord, to do Your holy will. Amen.
If any prayers are difficult to remember, then you should first read from a piece of paper, and then try to pronounce it by heart.
However, memorizing prayers is not a prerequisite for any effectiveness... These formulas are originally designed to help you tune in a certain way, they allow people who find it difficult to formulate words in the most optimal way to express their own aspiration.
At the same time, you should not repeat prayers mechanically and as a kind of rhyme, the repetition of which brings some result, you just need to pray, that is, put something into your words.
You should not distort prayers, but if you want, you can change some words for more understandable and convenient for you, if such changes allow you to pray better. Some old words are not always clear to you, so no one requires you to memorize these words. Moreover, if you are better at praying in your own words, you can do just that.
