Complete collection and description: a strong prayer of gratitude to God for the spiritual life of a believer.

A prayer of gratitude to the Lord God for help, support, solutions to pressing problems, healing from illnesses - this is the gratitude that every prayer book should offer to the Creator. God is Love, and in addition to faith in Him, you must be able to give thanks.

What to say thanks for

For most people, and even those who consider themselves believers, everyday life seems dull and difficult.

There seems to be absolutely nothing to express a grateful feeling of gratitude to Christ for. This happens because people have forgotten how to accept gifts and enjoy them, considering what they receive as something they should have. But each of us receives the richest treasures from God: life, love, friendship, the ability to breathe, think, give birth to children.

It was Heaven that gave us the majestic beauty of nature, rivers and lakes, steppes, mountains, trees, the moon, and heavenly bodies. And if we don’t know how to thank, we don’t receive other gifts.

If you have received what you asked for, thank the Almighty, in your own words, or better yet, in prayers. The human soul is alive as long as faith lives. And it must be supported by prayer appeals.

Advice! In addition to prayer, thanksgiving can be expressed by giving alms to poor people or tithing to the temple.

For every day lived, for the blessings sent down from Heaven, for the health, for the happiness of beloved children - for all the blessings of God, a prayer of gratitude to the Lord God should be heard from the lips of the petitioners.

It is necessary to learn to appreciate what seems self-evident, every little thing - only then will a person understand that absolutely everything in this mortal world happens according to the Will of the Heavenly Father.

It is necessary to offer thanksgiving to Jesus Christ with a pure heart and a bright soul, only then will it reach the Throne of God. And in response to the prayer book, God’s blessing and mercy will descend.

We thank Thee, Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present, in us, Thy unworthy servants (names), who were, known and unknown, about those revealed and unmanifested, even those who were in deed and in word: who loved us as and You deigned to give Your Only Begotten Son for us, making us worthy to be worthy of Your love.

Grant with Your word wisdom and with Your fear inhale strength from Your power, and whether we have sinned, whether willingly or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, having a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy love for mankind; and remember, O Lord, all who call upon Thy name in truth, remember all who desire good or evil against us: for all are men, and every man is in vain; We also pray to You, Lord, grant us Your great mercy.

The Cathedral of Saints Angel and Archangel, with all the heavenly powers, sings to Thee and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, heaven and earth are filled with Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. Save me, Who art thou King on high, save me and sanctify me, Source of sanctification; For from You all creation is strengthened, To You countless warriors sing the Trisagion hymn. Unworthy of You, who sits in the unapproachable light, of whom all things are terrified, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my lips, so that I may worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord, always, now, and ever and to endless ages of ages. Amen.

We praise God to you, we confess the Lord to you, the whole earth magnifies the Eternal Father to you; To you all the angels, to you the heavens and all the Powers, to you the Cherubim and Seraphim unceasing voices cry: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, the heavens and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory, the glorious Apostolic face is to you, the prophetic number of praise is to you, the most luminous praises you martyr army, the Holy Church throughout the entire universe confesses to You, the Father of incomprehensible majesty, worshiping Your true and Only Begotten Son and the Holy Comforter of the Spirit. You, the King of Glory, Christ, You are the Ever-Eternal Son of the Father: You, having received man for the deliverance, did not disdain the Virgin’s womb; You, having overcome the sting of death, have opened the Kingdom of Heaven to believers. You are seated at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, the Judge has come and believed. We therefore ask You: help Your servants, whom You redeemed with Your Honest Blood. Make it worthy to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever; Let us bless You all the days and praise Your name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: may Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we trust in Thee. In Thee, Lord, let us put our trust, may we not be ashamed forever. Amen.

Thanksgiving Service

In addition to prayers, the Church practices the service of thanksgiving prayer.

How to order a prayer service

To order it you need:

come to the temple and write a note in the candle shop with the title “Thanksgiving prayer to Jesus Christ”;
enter in the column the names of the donors, only those given in the Sacrament of Baptism (in the genitive case - from whom: Nina, George, Lyubov, Sergius, Dimitri);
there is no need to enter the surname, patronymic, citizenship of the donor, as well as names in diminutive form (from Dashenka, Seryoga, Sashka);
It is recommended to assign status to names: bol. - sick, md. - infant (child under 7 years old), neg. - youth (teenager from 7 to 14 years old), warrior, nepr. - not idle, pregnant;
give the completed form to the candle maker and make the recommended donation (if a person is experiencing financial difficulties, then no one will demand payment from him for the donation);
there is no need to indicate the reason for gratitude, the Almighty knows everything and is aware of everything, He is the Knower of the Heart;
it is advisable to purchase a candle in church (any candle, and its price and size do not affect the quality of gratitude or the fervor of prayer);
on the eve of the prayer service, place it in a candlestick near the icon of Christ.

Important! Gratitude is offered to God not only for joy, happiness, health and well-being, but also for sorrows, troubles and misfortunes, for the Wrath of God and His punishment - this is a severe test and the path to Salvation.

Rules of conduct during prayer services

It is necessary to be personally present when the cleric performs a prayer service and work prayerfully together with him and other parishioners.
If a person is seriously ill, then one of his relatives or friends can attend the prayer service on his behalf.
Being late for service is rude, to say the least. Usually the services are performed at the end of the Liturgy, and it always takes place in the morning. Therefore, you first need to clarify the start time of the prayer service.
During prayer, you need to think about every word spoken by the priest and, if possible, repeat the text to yourself after it.

Important! You cannot be indifferent at the prayer service - after all, this is a personal prayer to the Lord of each parishioner who ordered the thanksgiving service.

Services in the church are performed in the Church Slavonic dialect. This language is not understood by all parishioners, so it is recommended to parse the text of the prayer service yourself in advance.

It is not necessary to look for translated literature on the shelves of libraries or in bookstores - now there is enough information on absolutely any topic on the Internet.

Often prayers of thanksgiving are read along with other ordered requirements:

Sometimes the priest serves a general prayer service, combining all the services ordered for that day. Don't worry, the "quality" of your thanksgiving will not be diminished at all.

The prayer of gratitude should take a place in the heart of every person. Its correct and sincere pronunciation can radically change your life.

She makes it clear to the Lord that the prayer book humbly accepts everything, joys and difficult trials, that Heaven gives him. Everyone knows that it is impossible to grumble at God, because obstacles in life happen when a person leads a lifestyle that is displeasing to the Almighty, which is destructive for his soul.

Advice! If everything in life does not work out the way you would like, then prayerfully thank God for everything, trust Him with all your heart, without relying on your mind.

And then the Creator will make all the paths of earthly existence straight and full of happiness.

Orthodox prayer “In gratitude to God for everything”

How often do we turn to God, the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Saints for help, and if the prayers are sincere, then help always comes. A prayer of gratitude to God for everything: help, support, getting rid of problems - this is the gratitude that certainly needs to be offered to the Almighty! In addition to faith in the Lord and love for him, you need to be able to be grateful.

The Orthodox prayer of gratitude to God for help is the praise that is recommended to be offered to the Almighty.

If you receive what you ask for, be sure to thank God. You can give thanks in your own words, but it is best to read the prayers given below. The human soul is alive as long as faith is alive, and the life of the soul must be nourished with daily prayers. In addition to prayer, you can express your gratitude by giving alms or donating to the temple.

Prayer eight, to our Lord Jesus Christ

This prayer should be read when the Lord Jesus Christ heard your request, and you received what you asked him for. And also, the prayer is read when cardinal changes have occurred in life, even those that at first glance do not seem joyful. For example, you were fired from your job, the landlady from whom you rented the apartment evicted you, your husband left. And it seems like - what is there to thank for? And because a new page is beginning in your life, the door has opened for new discoveries and impressions.

For example, your previous job hampered your professional development, and you deserve more, the old apartment was poorly located, but a new apartment will contribute to some changes in life - meet your love, make new friends, etc. And the husband, who left and did not love at all, turned out to be a traitor and it’s good that this was revealed, you will meet a new one - honest and decent. As you can see, you can find advantages in everything. It is not always possible for us to understand the Divine plan, but know that nothing happens by chance. Everything happens in the best possible way.

My most merciful and all-merciful God,

Lord Jesus Christ,

For the sake of love, you came down and became incarnate for many, so that you would save everyone.

And again, Savior, save me by grace, I pray to You;

Even if you save me from works, there is no grace and a gift, but more than a duty.

Hey, abundant in generosity and ineffable in mercy!

Believe in Me, thou art,

O my Christ, he will live and never see death.

And Bo has faith, I am in You, saves the desperate, behold, I believe, save me,

For You are my God and the Creator. Let faith be credited to me instead of works,

My God, you will not find any works that will justify me.

But may my faith prevail instead of everyone else,

Let her answer, let her justify me,

May she show me to be a partaker of Your eternal glory.

Let Satan snatch me away and boast,

Word, to tear me away from Your hand and fence;

But either I want, save me, or I don’t want, O Christ my Savior, let me soon, I will soon perish:

For you are my God from my mother’s womb. Vouchsafe me

Lord, now love You,

As if I sometimes loved that same sin;

And again I worked for You without laziness, I worked for the skin first of the flattering Satan.

I will work for You most of all,

To my Lord and God Jesus Christ,

All the days of my life, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

An ungrateful person is worse than an animal. As the Prophet Isaiah said: “The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master’s manger.” It turns out that if a person does not think about who his creator is and who gives him everything he has, then he becomes worse than an ox and a donkey, who know who feeds them. And only by being grateful to God for all his gifts in life can we accept these gifts with any dignity.

A strong prayer of gratitude to God for everything, it must be read as soon as you receive what you asked from the Almighty. Do not forget to thank him every day in your own words, even for the smallest help, for the smallest pleasant event, and then our Lord will never leave you and will always help.

Here is one example of words of gratitude to the Blessed Virgin Mary

The next prayer is words of gratitude to the Most Holy Theotokos. She is the patroness of young girls, mothers, pregnant women, travelers; people ask her for health, love, and prosperity. Therefore, do not forget about this prayer of gratitude to the Mother of God. The Mother of God is greatly revered by believers; she is the mother of the entire human race.

All her life she lived according to God's laws, helped everyone, never offended anyone, never said a bad word, the Mother of God was a meek, kind woman. Her life ended easily and quickly, as if she had simply fallen asleep. Before her death, the Mother of God promised to be their intercessor and pray for them. This is how it happens. Everyone who turns to the Most Pure One is sure to receive healing, requested help and intercession.

Prayer of gratitude to the Mother of God

To the Mother of God, Mother of God, I direct my song,

I praise and thank the Virgin Mary!

All the Angels and Archangels serve and worship you,

All authorities and rulers obey you.

Glory to Your belly, glory to Your greatness!

You gave the world the Savior of mankind,

You gave everyone a chance to live and exist!

You protect all women and mothers, You endow them with strength and fortitude!

You helped me in my life, for which my gratitude is limitless!

I am destined to glorify Your name and trust in the mercy of the Lord!

For all that I have, I thank You, worldly, I bow to You.

In this song I’m not asking for help, but I’m paying tribute, thanking you for peace!

I pray for the sins of my family and for my family, I ask for mercy!

Prayer of gratitude to our Creator - the Almighty God

How often do we thank our creator, the Almighty God? Few people know that the name of our creator is Hosts. Do not forget to thank him for everything, despite the fact that Jesus Christ said, “I and the Father are one.”

I praise and thank the Lord God for his mercy,

I turn to my Guardian Angel, With gratitude, with worship, with feeling!

Thank you for your daily help, for your participation!

For intercession before the face of the Lord, for mercy!

My gratitude knows no end,

Every day it increases and grows! Amen!

Just from the mere thought of God, our heart should be filled with gratitude for all his gifts to us. The most important and greatest gift is our life. We will never be able to repay God equally for this priceless gift of his, and therefore we must at least be grateful.

"Save me, God!". Thank you for visiting our website, before you start studying the information, we ask you to subscribe to our VKontakte group Prayers for every day. Also visit our page on Odnoklassniki and subscribe to her Prayers for every day Odnoklassniki. "God bless you!".

Everyone is pleased to hear words of gratitude addressed to them, be it for a service or assistance provided. The most common “thank you” is very pleasant to our hearts. Praying to God for everything that he gives and helps us is also pleasant. In such a prayer service we express our love for Him and gratitude for His protection.

It is the Lord who sends us many graces, gives us life, health, happiness, and everything that surrounds you and me. And forgetting about the need to express our gratitude to the Almighty, we act unfairly towards Him.

Prayer of gratitude to God for help

When difficulties and difficult situations and obstacles arise on our path in life, we must not grumble at the Lord. After all, He sends us trials for a reason. This is how He shows us that we are doing something wrong, that the lifestyle we are leading is not pleasing to Him, and can be disastrous for us.

And if it seems to you that everything is going wrong, just pray and offer your thanks to the Almighty in prayerful words.

What we should thank God for:

For your life and your soul, for the fact that you are a person;
For development and growth, for the opportunity to take the first steps in any situation and overcome difficulties;
For victories, achievements and awards for works and deeds;
For the lessons, trials and even punishments that the Lord presents to us as a lesson;
For everything valuable that you have: family, children, parents, friends, home, work and even your beloved cat;
For everything that has already been experienced, for the past, which is your life experience.

You can say your “thank you” to the Lord with the following prayer words:

“Lord, I thank You for filling my soul with Light, for the fact that my life is beautiful and happy, for the fact that the fire of illumination and mercy flows into my heart. I thank and praise You, Lord, for helping me realize all my internal accumulations in my life, helping me fulfill my destiny and life program of this incarnation.

I thank and praise You, Lord, for the fact that my home is filled every second with Your Light, Your love; for the fact that peace, tranquility and love reign in it between all my relatives; for the fact that it is beautiful and good for my friends - the Spirits of Light, who love to visit it, bringing their light and happiness into it; for the fact that many wonderful people come to this house, filled with subtle humor, strength and optimism, with whom we together hold bright and joyful meetings-altars in Your name and for the benefit of all people on Earth!

I thank You that all people on Earth are happy, just as I am happy; for the fact that right now in this prayer I can send a Ray of Love to all living beings of our planet, and, truly, I send it and rejoice with them in their happiness, just as they rejoice with me in my enlightenment.

I thank and praise You, One Lord, for the fact that our planet is filled with fiery streams of wisdom, strength, love and is successfully undergoing its Transformation and Ascension into the Light.

Lord, I unite all the beautiful dreams of humanity and realize them here, now in my heart.

And I am filled with the delight of this wonderful Sacrament of Transfiguration, I inhale its aroma and give it to the entire planet. And every grass, every stalk, every insect, bird, animal, person, angel, elemental smiles back at me and thanks and glorifies You with me, Lord, who created Paradise on Earth. Amen".

Prayer of gratitude to the Guardian Angel and the Pleasers of God

The Lord gives each of us a Guardian Angel, who is with us everywhere, protects our earthly life, protects us from everything terrible and evil, and does not leave us even after death.

Angels rejoice when we are righteous Christians, lead a godly life, and succeed in virtue. They fill us with spiritual contemplation and assist us in all our worldly affairs.

Read prayer words to your Angel before any task:

“To the Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive me all who have sinned in this day: and deliver me from every wickedness of the enemy who opposes me, so that in no sin I will anger my God, but pray for me, a sinner and unworthy servant, for you are worthy to show me the goodness and mercy of the All-Holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and all the saints. Amen".

Pray to your angel and thank him for his help and protection. Do not forget to thank the Lord God and the Guardian Angels and helpers of the Lord, His Saints. Therefore, as in various situations it is customary to ask for intercession and help not only from the Almighty, but also from His Saints, one should say “thank you” to Them too.

Prayer to Matrona with gratitude will help you improve your personal life, improve your health and that of your loved ones. And when they need help in a new matter, to do difficult work and just so that everything goes well, they turn to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and be sure to thank the saint. A prayer of gratitude to Nicholas the Wonderworker or other helpers of the Lord is also said when everything in life is going well.

This is how, for example, they read a prayer of thanksgiving to Saint Nicholas:

“Nicholas the Pleasant! I address you as a teacher and shepherd with faith and respect, with love and admiration. I send you words of gratitude, I pray for a prosperous life. I say thank you very much, I hope in mercy and forgiveness. For sins, for thoughts, and for thoughts. Just as you have had mercy on all sinners, so have mercy on me. Protect from terrible trials and from vain death. Amen"

Do not forget not only to ask the Lord and the Heavenly Powers for help and intercession, but to express your gratitude for everything that you have!

May the Lord protect you!

To the Mother of God, Mother of God, I direct my song,

I praise and thank the Virgin Mary!

The basis for the salvation of our soul must be faith in God's providence. Everything that happens in our lives is done by the Lord for our good. As long as everything is good in our life and destiny, we understand perfectly well that God loves us, since He sends us joy and grace. But as soon as difficulties and illnesses arise, thoughts immediately arise that God has turned away, forgotten about us, and we begin to grumble. we must graciously endure all the sorrows, illnesses and sufferings sent by God, and not groan at the same time, but offer praise to the Lord God with a prayer of gratitude, because the Lord who loves us sends an atoning cross for our sins.

Prayer of gratitude to the Lord Jesus Christ for help in danger and preservation from harm

Never does a prayer of gratitude to the Lord sound so fervently as from the lips of a person who has just escaped mortal danger. It is God's providence that grants salvation where survival is impossible. What are the stories of miraculous rescue worth when in incredible car accidents, where mangled car parts are scattered all over the roadway, people remain alive and unharmed? Or when a person suddenly wakes up at night, as if someone had woken him up, and manages to put out a fire that started in the house? With prayers of thanksgiving, we must say thank you to the Lord Jesus Christ for the instances of our salvation, and thank God even more if He has delivered our lives from troubles and dangers.

Prayer of thanksgiving to our Lord upon receiving what we asked for

It happens that when we ask the Lord for our needs, we trust in his good will, we call on the Saints and the Mother of God to patronize us and pray for us, and having received what we want, our passionate prayer immediately subsides. The Christian duty is to glorify the Creator, his wisdom and goodness. When, through our prayers, good changes occur in fate, in addition to a prayer of gratitude to the Lord God, we must order a prayer service in the church. He who does not give thanks shows great ingratitude to the Heavenly giver of all blessings. You should be grateful for all things - big and small. And most importantly, through prayers of gratitude to the Lord we must express gratitude not only for ourselves, but also for others - thereby we destroy envy in ourselves and cultivate love.

Text of the Thanksgiving Prayer to the Lord God in Russian

The real text of the prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord Jesus Christ in Russian

May Thy Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, be unto me for eternal life, and Thy Honest Blood for the remission of sins: may this thanksgiving be unto me joy, health and gladness; at Thy terrible and second coming, vouchsafe me, a sinner, to the right hand of Thy glory, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all the saints. Amen

When are prayers of thanksgiving needed?

Prayers of thanksgiving are read in the following situations:

when a person received help through prayer from God, Jesus Christ, the Mother of God or the saints;
after successful completion of affairs;
upon healing from illness;
at the end of the day (as gratitude for everything that was given);
by Holy Communion;
when the saints or God gave help to the relatives or neighbors of the person praying;
when you need to fill your life with prosperity and happiness;
when you just want to thank God for everything.

Prayers of gratitude can be a good start to the working day: they will put you in a positive mood and on a wave of energy of well-being.
To the Lord God
As the clergy say, you need to thank the Almighty for everything: both good and bad: sometimes what seems like failure or grief can be a valuable lesson for the soul. Gratitude is needed, for the most part, not by God, but by the person praying himself. By developing and strengthening a sense of gratitude, a person becomes stronger, kinder and happier.
When someone offers a prayer of gratitude to God, the Lord rewards him in full. After some time, a person becomes a magnet for happiness.

Text of prayers of gratitude to the Lord God for help:
You can also use the usual verbal thank you address in Russian - this is not forbidden. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is that Orthodox prayers in the church language are always much stronger, since they are composed according to special rules.
The strongest way to express gratitude to God for everything would be to read the gratitude akathist “Glory to God for everything” (the text can be easily found on the Internet). It is read at the icon of the Lord Almighty, standing on your feet or knees. This akathist is one of the best means for helping a person in negative states, when there are complaints against everyone around or simply need strength.
You can also express gratitude to God by giving alms to the needy or tithing to the temple.

To various saints
They turn with gratitude to those saints from whom they have received help in some matter. Each of the Orthodox saints has their own prayers of gratitude written (you can find them in the Orthodox prayer book). But especially popular are appeals to Nicholas the Wonderworker, who is highly revered by believers:
To the guardian angel
Angelic prayers of thanksgiving are as important as prayers to God and the saints. A guardian angel is a helper and protector for a person, so it is important that people are able to maintain contact with him and express gratitude for the support provided to them. A prayer of thanksgiving is a kind of bridge of love between a living person and his guardian angel. The bridge grows stronger with every day of practice of such prayer. It can be added to both evening and morning prayer rules.
Text of thanksgiving prayers to the Guardian Angel for every day:
Before reading, you need to mentally concentrate on the feeling of gratitude and love directed towards your guardian angel. After expressing gratitude, your mood and life in general begin to improve. The feeling of warmth or simply comfort that appears after a prayer ritual is a sign that a person has been heard.
To the Mother of God
In the Orthodox Church there has always been a special attitude towards Mother Theotokos. She happily helps everyone who prays to her: she saves them from illnesses, guides them on the right path, protects them from enemies, etc.
But a prayer of gratitude is read to her not only for this, but also for the fact that she brought the Savior into the world with her vow. A special prayer will help you thank the saint and establish a connection with the source of feminine energy of love:
To Jesus Christ
A prayer of gratitude is read to Jesus Christ, as the savior and redeemer of the world, after getting rid of illnesses, worries, disasters, when life gets better and a person finds his bright path. In a broader sense, an appeal of gratitude to Jesus Christ will help to establish and strengthen the connection with the source of male creative energy.
How to read prayers of thanksgiving correctly?
It is best to read words of gratitude in a temple or holy place. In such places, the effect of prayers is enhanced, which is why words reach God much faster. The procedure for correctly reading the prayer of gratitude:

1. Buy a candle.
2. Place it near the icon.
3. Say a prayer appeal to the Mother of God, Jesus Christ or another saint from whom help was received.
4. Upon completion, bow.

At home, for better immersion in prayer, before reading, light a lamp or candle and light incense. Televisions, radios, cell phones and other noise sources are turned off or removed from the room. In such an atmosphere, it is easier to tune in to prayer and clear your thoughts of mental debris. During a solitary prayer service, the inner gaze is directed to the heart, and sensations are tuned to the warmth of love. After finishing, you should try to maintain a state of gratitude until the end of the day.

When reading thank you messages, you need to remember that sincerity and honesty of intentions are of great importance. Words coming from the heart will be heard, with love and awareness. If it is difficult to feel gratitude before starting the conversion, then you should simply read prayers regularly: then they will attune the person to this feeling. In the future, the feeling of gratitude will become bright and natural.

Church ministers who are clergy are advised to thank God and the holy powers every morning and every evening. It is not necessary to do this with long prayers, you can simply say from the heart and soul: “Thank you, Lord, for there is bread on the table! Thank you for shelter, clothing and loving relatives.” You can mentally thank everyone around you. Just a few minutes spent in gratitude can fill your life with meaning and well-being.

Christians often turn to the Lord for help and this is normal. After all, this is our loving Father, who gives life itself and everything that fills the material universe. Today people en masse are turning to Orthodoxy, visiting churches, learning to pray. And that's great.

Only sometimes, in the midst of complaints and difficulties, we forget to thank God for everything we have. Every day a prayer of thanksgiving should be heard in homes. This fosters faith, patience and a humble spirit pleasing to the Lord.

Text of the Thanksgiving Prayer to the Lord for every day

“We thank Thee, Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present, in us, Thy unworthy servants (names), who were, known and unknown, about those revealed and unmanifested, even those who were in deed and in word: who loved us Just as you deigned to give Your Only Begotten Son for us, make us worthy of Your love. Grant with Your word wisdom and with Your fear inhale strength from Your power, and whether we have sinned, whether willingly or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, having a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy love for mankind; and remember, O Lord, all who call upon Thy name in truth, remember all who desire good or evil against us: for all are men, and every man is in vain; We also pray to You, Lord, grant us Your great mercy.”

The Importance of Gratitude

Every week, thanksgiving services are held in churches. Only there are not as many parishioners as there could be. Perhaps this is because they do not fully understand the importance of this movement of the soul. It was not by chance that the Holy Church included prayers of thanksgiving in the daily morning rule. St. Ignatius (Brianchaninov) explains how Christians benefit from reading them every day:

strengthen their faith in God;
receive the comfort of the Holy Spirit;
gain a better understanding of Bible teaching.

Blessing the name of God is truly a worthy activity. King David wrote about this in his psalms: “Praise the name of the Lord,” he urged everyone. This does not require a special occasion, because the greatness of creation is constantly before our eyes. And it’s not the Lord’s fault that we don’t notice him.

What to be grateful for:

The Lord Jesus Christ gave His life for our transgressions, endured terrible torment, being holy.
Because the Lord tolerates our sins.
Everything in life is given by God: human talents, good aspirations, family, food and clothing, the ability to breathe and hear children's laughter.

A good spiritual exercise is to find a few things in your life for which you can thank the Creator. Think about this and say the following prayer to the Lord:

“The council of saints, Angels and Archangels, with all the heavenly powers, sings to Thee, and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, heaven and earth are filled with Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. Save me, Who art thou King on high, save me and sanctify me, Source of sanctification; For from You all creation is strengthened, To You countless warriors sing the Trisagion hymn. Unworthy of You, who sits in the unapproachable light, of whom all things are terrified, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my lips, so that I may worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord, always, now, and ever and to endless ages of ages. Amen."

Perhaps a real feeling of joy will not immediately appear in your soul, but it will certainly appear and grow. With time. That's why it's so important to thank a higher power every day.

Help has been provided - but what about “thank you”?

When young children receive something from adults, they are taught to express gratitude. What kind of Christians are they who accept great gifts from their Creator as a matter of course? In his eyes they look ungrateful, disrespectful, simply ill-mannered. Yes, the adult will feed the child in any case. Just like the Good Creator will always help those who ask. But this is not a reason to take blessings for granted.

Any troubles end sooner or later. And this is always a manifestation of the heavenly Father’s care for his reckless children. It is imperative to say a prayer of gratitude to the Lord God for your help. Perhaps there really is no time to visit the temple, but everyone can find a few minutes to mentally say: “Glory to Thee, Lord!”

Godly Christians have a habit of extolling heavenly powers even when things are not going well. They believe that tests are sent for their own benefit. Having endured them with honor, people hope to become more spiritual and closer to perfection.

Short prayer “Glory to God for everything!” will tell the Creator that you trust Him, believe in His unconditional love and goodness.

How to thank the saints

Orthodox believers practice frequent appeals to famous Christian martyrs, miracle workers, and Angels. For them, they are faithful intercessors, helpers, petitioners before the throne of God the Father. With their support, a person no longer feels like a miserable drop in the stormy ocean of life.

Worries about relatives, worry about what will happen tomorrow are very common even for Christians. Fate is unknown to them, only one thing is certain - death. This brings melancholy and even despair to many. But it is quite possible to get rid of the feeling of hopelessness thanks to the good righteous. Through their prayers, the Holy Spirit descends from heaven. He suggests the right way out of the situation, calms and consoles the weak.

Universal Prayer of Thanksgiving for All Saints

There is a special prayer of grace for saints. It is universal: suitable as an address to both the Guardian Angel and your favorite heavenly inhabitant.

Holy God and rest in the saints, praised by the thrice-holy voice in heaven from angels, praised on earth by man in His saints; Who by Your Holy Spirit gave grace to everyone according to the bestowal of Christ, and by that appointed to Your Church the holy apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, whose word of preaching, to You Himself who acted all in all, accomplished many saints in every generation and kind, having pleased You with various virtues, and to You, leaving us with an image of their good deeds, in the joy that has passed, prepare, in which the temptations themselves were, and help us those who are attacked. Remembering all these saints and praising their godly lives, I praise You Himself, who acted in them, and believing in Your goodness, the gift of being, I diligently pray to You, Holy of Holies, grant to me a sinner to follow their teaching, life, love, faith, patience, and through their prayerful help, and moreover through Your all-effective grace, the heavenly ones with them will be honored with glory, praising Your Most Holy Name, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

As a special thank you to the saint, you can read an akathist, a church troparion, specially compiled for him. But you can use the words that come to your heart.

Prayer of thanksgiving to the Mother of God

Believers know how powerful sincere prayers to the Mother of God are. She saves from illness, sends relief to the soul in sorrow, and through her prayers family conflicts are resolved. You can also read words of gratitude to the Mother of God every day, just like you can to God.

It occupies a special position in the Orthodox faith. The Mother of God is considered so holy that she surpasses all other people and even angels in the purity of her soul. That is why a special prayer appeal has been compiled for her:

We praise you, Mother of God; We confess You, Mary, the Virgin Mother of God; The whole earth magnifies You, the Eternal Father's Daughter. All Angels and Archangels and all Principalities humbly serve You; All Powers, Thrones, Dominions and all the highest Powers of heaven obey you. The Cherubim and Seraphim stand before You rejoicing and cry out with an unceasing voice: Holy Mother of God, the heavens and earth are full of the majesty of the glory of the fruit of Your womb. The Mother praises the glorious apostolic face of her Creator to you; The Mother of God magnifies many martyrs for you; The glorious host of confessors of God the Word gives you a temple; To you the ruling Poles preach the image of virginity; All the heavenly hosts praise you, the Queen of Heaven. Throughout the entire universe the Holy Church glorifies you, honoring the Mother of God; He extols thee true King of heaven, the Maiden. You are the Angel Lady, You are the door of heaven, You are the ladder of the Kingdom of Heaven, You are the palace of the King of glory, You are the ark of piety and grace, You are the abyss of bounties, You are the refuge of sinners. You are the Mother of the Savior, you received freedom for the sake of a captive man, you received God in your womb. The enemy has been trampled upon by you; You have opened the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven to the faithful. You stand at the right hand of God; You pray to God for us, Virgin Mary, who will judge the living and the dead. We therefore ask You, Intercessor before Your Son and God, Who redeemed us with Your blood, so that we may receive the reward in eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Mother of God, and bless Thy inheritance, for let us be partakers of Thy inheritance; preserve and keep us even unto the ages. Every day, O Most Holy One, we wish to praise and please You with our hearts and lips. Grant, Most Merciful Mother, now and always to preserve us from sin; have mercy on us, Intercessor, have mercy on us. May Thy mercy be upon us, as we trust in Thee forever. Amen.

There is an icon of the Mother of God in every home; you can turn to the Lady before any image. You can also express your gratitude by purchasing a church candle. A very good deed is donation to the poor, some good deed for orphans. After all, this is what Christians should do - help those who need support. If all goes well, never forget about the weak, needy, hurt and lost souls.

The Impact of Gratitude

The Lord and the saints do not require our gratitude as something necessary for life. She just brings joy to their hearts. Because it testifies to spiritual growth. This means that a person becomes a little closer to righteousness. And for every good deed there is always great joy in heaven. It's like watching a spoiled child finally do the right thing. Parents will certainly be in high spirits. And the person praying will immediately feel better in his soul.

Of course, gratitude to God and all the saints must be sincere. It is not enough to simply submit a note, pay the money and leave with a feeling of accomplishment.
After all, the Lord does not need payment or an offering in the form of candles. He wants to see our location.
Doesn't the father rejoice when the child says: “I love you!” This is what Christians should learn - to relate to God as their heavenly parent.

Daily gratitude can give a lot to our soul, even improve our life circumstances. This is exactly what will happen as we begin to put our soul in order. Demons simply cannot attack someone whose thoughts are aimed only at good. This is what constant prayer teaches. Only not mechanical muttering, but true spiritual work becomes the very staircase that leads to heaven.
