Prayer for a Sick Child — Recovery

Svichka.org · 2026-08-16

When a child is sick, parents are ready to do anything. A prayer for a sick child gives strength to both the child and the parents. It does not replace the doctor, but it creates that spiritual peace in which recovery comes faster.

Prayer for a Sick Child

«O Lord, Thou art the Almighty Physician. Look down from heaven upon my child (name), who is ill. Grant them strength, ease their suffering, bless the doctors who treat them. O Most Holy Theotokos, be near them in this difficult hour. Grant me, the parent, patience and faith. Amen.»

When to Read

Read the prayer for a sick child in the morning and evening, as well as before each dose of medicine or procedure. You may read it by the child's bedside — quietly, calmly, with faith.
