Thanksgiving prayer from the prayer service. Prayer of thanks to the Lord God in Russian

Prayer of thanks to the Lord God for help

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

What to give thanks for

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

There seems to be absolutely nothing to express a grateful feeling of gratitude to Christ. This happens because people have forgotten how to accept gifts and rejoice in them, considering what they receive is due. 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, heavenly bodies. And not knowing how to thank, we do not receive other gifts.

Received what you asked for - thank the Almighty, you can in your own words, or better with 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 offering alms to poor people, tithes to the temple.

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

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

It is necessary to give thanks 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, O Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, from the first age to the present, in us, unworthy servants of Thy and Thy only begotten Son, you deign to give about us, make us worthy to be Thy love.

Grant with Thy word wisdom and with Thy fear breathe strength from Thy strength, and if you sin, even though or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, I have a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy humanity; and remember, O Lord, all who call on your name in truth; remember all who are good or who resist us who want us: for all men I am, and in vain every man; so much the same we pray to you, Lord, grant us your goodness great mercy.

The Cathedral of Saints Angel and Archangel, with all the heavenly powers sings Thee, and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts, fill heaven and earth 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 in the highest, the King, save me and sanctify me, the Source of sanctification; from Thee, for the whole creation is strengthened, They sing to Thee the countless song of the Trisagion. To you and I am unworthy, to those who sit in the unapproachable light, all things are terrified of him, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my mouth, as if I may be worthy to pet You: Holy, Holy, Holy Thou Lord, always, now, and ever and forever and ever. Amen.

We praise God to Thee, we confess The Lord, to Thee the Eternal Father the whole earth magnifies; All angels are for you, for you heaven and all powers, for you with cherubs and seraphims ceaseless voices cry out: holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, the essence of heaven and the land of the majesty of your glory is full, for you the glorious apostolic face, for you a prophetic laudatory number, for you praises the glorious martyrdom, throughout the whole universe the Holy Church confesses to You, the Father of incomprehensible majesty, worshiped by Your true and Only Begotten Son and Holy Comforter Spirit. Thou, the King of glory, Christ, Thou art the Father's everlasting Son: Thou, for the deliverance of man, thou art not abhorred of the Virgin's womb; You, having overcome the sting of death, opened the Kingdom of Heaven to the believers. Sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Fathers, Judge, come to believe. We ask you for help: help your servant, you have redeemed them with Honest Blood. Grant me reign with Thy saints in Thy eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I correct and lift them up forever; all the days let us bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, to us to be saved without sin on this day. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: wake Thy mercy, O Lord, on us, as with hope in Thee. On Thee, Lord, with hope, may we not be ashamed forever. Amen.

Thanksgiving ministry

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

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";
write in the column the names of the benefactors, only those given in the Sacrament of Baptism (in the genitive case - from whom: Nina, George, Lyubov, Sergius, Demetrius);
no need to enter the last name, patronymic, citizenship of the donor, as well as names in diminutive form (from Dasha, Seryoga, Sashka);
it is recommended to assign the status to the names: bol. - sick, mln. - infant (child under 7 years old), neg. - adolescent (teenager from 7 to 14 years old), warrior, cont. - not idle, pregnant;
give the completed form to the candlewoman and make the recommended donation (if a person is experiencing financial difficulties, then no one will demand payment from him for the demand);
there is no need to indicate the reason for gratitude, the Almighty knows everything and knows about everything, He is the Heart-bearer;
it is advisable to purchase a candle in the church (any, and its price and size do not affect the quality of gratitude or the fervor of prayer);
on the eve of the prayer, put it in a candlestick by the icon of Christ.

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

Rules of conduct during the prayer service

It is necessary to be personally present at the performance of the prayer service by the cleric and to work prayerfully together with him and other parishioners.
If a person is seriously ill, then on his behalf one of the relatives or acquaintances can attend the prayer service.
To be late for a service is ugly, to say the least. Usually the requirements are performed at the end of the Liturgy, and it always takes place in the morning. Therefore, it is first necessary to clarify the time of the beginning of the prayer service.
During prayer, you need to ponder over every word uttered by the priest and, if possible, after it, repeat the text to yourself.

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

The service in the church is 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 beforehand.

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

Often thanksgiving prayers are read along with other ordered requirements:

Sometimes the priest serves a general prayer service, uniting all the services ordered for that day. Do not worry, this will not diminish the "quality" of your thanksgiving at all.

The prayer of gratitude should take a place in the heart of every person. Pronouncing it correctly and sincerely can drastically change your life.

She makes the Lord understand that the prayer book humbly accepts everything, joys and difficult trials, which Heaven gives him. Everyone knows that it is impossible to grumble at God, because obstacles in life occur when a person leads a way of life that is not pleasing to the Almighty, which is destructive for his soul.

Advice! If everything in life is not going the way you would like, then prayerfully thank God for everything, trust Him with all your heart, not relying on your mind.

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

Prayer of thanks to the Lord God for everything

We thank Thee, O Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, from the first age to the present, in us, unworthy servants of Thy and Thy only begotten Son, you deign to give about us, make us worthy to be Thy love.
Grant with Thy word wisdom and with Thy fear breathe strength from Thy strength, and if you sin, even though or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, I have a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy humanity; and remember, O Lord, all who call on your name in truth; remember all who are good or who resist us who want us: for all men I am, and in vain every man; so much the same we pray to you, Lord, grant us your goodness great mercy.

Who needs a prayer of gratitude to God for everything and why? Once Jesus Christ, enlightening the future Apostles, uttered the words: "You call Me Lord, Teacher ... and I am among you, as a servant."

During his earthly life, and to this day, He does not stop taking care of and caring for us. And about everyone, not only about Christians. Humanity can be divided into:

grateful to God;
never giving thanks;
unwittingly (accidentally) thanking.

The Orthodox Church refers to those who glorify God, and not in any way, but "correctly." And this community was established by the Lord and His Apostles ( cheat. Symbol of faith). Does the Almighty, All-Sufficient, All-Knowing and All-Seeing Heavenly Father need our earthly gratitude? It turns out that it is necessary, and first of all, for ourselves.

Always rejoice and give thanks

Thanks to God- not a simple act of politeness. This is a responsive feeling to His Love, filling the heart with joy, light, grace, which transforms the human soul. Imagine that your loved one presented a bouquet of flowers. The mood immediately rises, it becomes easy and pleasant. And this is only from some flowers. The Lord's gift is billions of times greater.

When thanksgiving is offered, the gates are opened through which the Spirit of God penetrates. Not only do the “wings behind the back” grow, but the wounds of the soul are healed, receiving the balm of belonging to eternity. Whatever the soul, one has only to start thanking God, as pain, fear, sorrow are transformed into silence, joy, peace. Hopelessness and disbelief flow into living faith.

Ingratitude is pride

It turns out, thanks to, we perform a miracle - we will work with God. He gives, and we accept His gift. If there is no feeling of Gratitude, we are closed to the penetration of Light. We remain petrified, we do not transform. Why do Angels constantly Praise God? They "feed" on His energy.

In order not to die, we need to eat. Thanksgiving is also necessary so that by contacting the Lord, we can become deified. A striking example of the absence of this feeling is Dennitsa. Puffed up, having lost him to the Creator, he imagined himself to be a god. Once the most beautiful of creatures, he turned into Satan - a terrible monster. Thank God that we cannot see his current appearance.

Note: God tolerates us a lot, but cannot stand murmuring. Since, this indicates a complete lack of a sense of gratitude. The Lord leaves such a person. Demons become its masters.

Why should you be grateful for everything?

The hardest thing to understand is that one should be grateful not only for the help shown, for some understandable joyful events, but also for sorrows, illnesses, and misfortunes. Sooner or later we will learn that it was not in vain that we suffered, suffered, endured grief on our shoulders. The Lord does everything according to Love, according to the Great mercy to us. Not a single hair will fall from our head in vain. In order not to explain it for a long time, I will give a parable. Let it be a little naive and simple, but it gives an answer to this question.

Proverb: It's For The Best

The two Africans have been friends since childhood, like inseparable brothers. One was elected king. Having taken a high position, he did not forget about his faithful friend - he was always there. But he had an oddity with which, for the time being, the Sovereign put up with. Whatever happens, good or bad, a friend always said: "This is for the best."

Once on a hunt, the king was injured: a charge tore off a finger. A friend loaded his guns. Yes, apparently, I filled my gunpowder too tightly. Despite such misfortune, he said, as usual: "My King, this is for the best!" But, this time, he was angry, and ordered to put the culprit in jail.

A year later, during another hunt, the king and all his retinue were captured by people from the cannibal tribe. Tied up, they brought me to their village. They had a belief: if a person had some kind of physical defect, he cannot be eaten. Seeing that the king was missing one finger, they let him go free.

Returning home, he remembered a bosom friend. The feeling of guilt that I did something wrong with him haunted him. Then he decided to ask for forgiveness from a friend. I came to him, told him everything, apologized for keeping him in prison for a year. To which he, smiling, replied:

“King, you did very well to put me in prison — it’s for the best!”

- Yes, you are again for your own! What good can that be?

“If you hadn’t put me in, I would have been hunting with you.” And he no longer spoke, but would have been eaten by the cannibals.

From the story, it is clear that we do not immediately see what benefit is brought by illness or sorrow. Not in this world, so in Tom we learn: the Lord dealt with us in love. Therefore, it is necessary to thank always and for everything here on earth, trusting God's providence. Who knows, maybe it will be too late to do it later. Believe that whatever happens to us is for the best.

How to Thank God for Everything

A person may not always feel grateful to both people and God. In illness or misfortune to say praise, the tongue does not turn. The heart turns to stone, consciousness dulls, strength is taken away not only physical, but also mental. I. Bryanchaninov (having experienced it himself) advises:

Retire... Slowly, pondering the words, say a few phrases aloud, overpowering your state and indifference.
We can say briefly: Glory to You God, Glory to You. Your will be done.
Or so: Glory to Thee, our God, for the sorrow sent.
Or like a robber crucified on the right: I accept what is worthy according to my deeds: remember me in Thy kingdom.
Or repeat all together several times... Until you feel peace and tranquility in your soul.
If you would like to express a deeper appreciation, read Thanksgiving for every good deed of God presented on this page.
Ancient way You will find praises and prayers of praise in the Psalms. For example, kathisma 19 and 20 fully correspond to this theme.
Finally, there is a wonderful Akathist: "Glory to God for everything", compiled by Metropolitan Tryphon (BP Turkestanov).
In any temple you can order not only commemoration of relatives, but also thanksgiving to the Lord Jesus Christ.

See how soon relief comes. If the situation seemed hopeless, there was a way out. The situation will be resolved, the disease will begin to recede, the grief will be easier to bear. Repentance and humility, which filled the heart, will attract the Grace of the Holy Spirit, and with Him there is nothing to be afraid of. Then, really, you will know how close the Lord is to us.

The Highest Form of Gratitude to God for Everything

There are many thanksgiving prayers, you can pick it up for your occasion. Basil the Great recommended: precede any appeal with Doxology, repentance, and only then voice the request. Therefore, almost any prayer consists of three parts. Determine the right one yourself. By adding to the address the words: "Thy will be done, not mine, O God," show the coveted humility.

Church services are organized in the same order. The Eucharist comes first. Participation in it is the most effective thanksgiving to God for everything. Communion is the highest blessing for man, and gratitude to the Almighty Father for all the Gifts, especially for the opportunity to receive the Divine fire, to merge with Christ through His Blood and His Body.

Conclusion: One must thank God always, everywhere, for everything and constantly, many times a day. But during the Liturgy, the recitation of “Lord, have mercy” once means more than all the prayers read at home, even if you master 150 psalms.

We praise God to Thee, we confess The Lord, to Thee the Eternal Father the whole earth magnifies; All angels are for you, for you heaven and all powers, for you with cherubs and seraphims ceaseless voices cry out: holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, the essence of heaven and the land of the majesty of your glory is full, for you the glorious apostolic face, for you a prophetic laudatory number, for you praises the glorious martyrdom, throughout the whole universe the Holy Church confesses to You, the Father of incomprehensible majesty, worshiped by Your true and Only Begotten Son and Holy Comforter Spirit. Thou, the King of glory, Christ, Thou art the Father's everlasting Son: Thou, for the deliverance of man, thou art not abhorred of the Virgin's womb; You, having overcome the sting of death, opened the Kingdom of Heaven to the believers. Sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Fathers, Judge, come to believe. We ask you for help: help your servant, you have redeemed them with Honest Blood. Grant me reign with Thy saints in Thy eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I correct and lift them up forever; all the days let us bless you and praise your name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, to us to be saved without sin on this day. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: wake Thy mercy, O Lord, on us, as with hope in Thee. On Thee, Lord, with hope, may we not be ashamed forever. Amen.

Prayer for all the good deeds of God

God! What will I bring to you, than I will thank you for your unceasing, greatest mercies to me and to your other people? For behold, every moment I am enlivened by Your Holy Spirit, every moment I breathe the air that You are poured out, light, pleasant, healthy, strengthening, - I am enlightened by Your joyful and life-giving light - spiritual and material; I eat sweet and life-giving spiritual food and drink the same, the holy Mysteries of Your Body and Blood, and material food and drink of sweetness; You dress me with a bright, beautiful royal garment - with Yourself and with material garments, you cleanse my sins, heal and cleanse my many and fierce sinful passions; you take away my spiritual corruption in the state of immeasurable goodness, wisdom and Thy strength, fill with Thy Holy Spirit - the Spirit of holiness, grace; you give my soul truth, peace and joy, space, strength, boldness, courage, strength, and you endow my body with precious health; you teach my hand for the army, and my fingers for wrestling with the invisible enemies of my salvation and bliss, with the enemies of the holiness and power of Your glory, with the spirits of wickedness in heaven; you crown my deeds with successes, done in Thy name ... For all this I thank, praise and bless Thy all-good, fatherly, omnipotent power, God, Savior, our Benefactor. But wake up and be known to other Thy people as well, as if Thou appeared to me, Human-loving, that they know You, the Father of all, Thy goodness, Thy providence, Thy wisdom and power and glorify You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit now and ever and ever. Amen.

Everything about religion and faith - "a strong prayer of thanks to the Lord" with detailed descriptions and photographs.

What to give thanks for

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

It was Heaven that gave us the majestic beauty of nature, rivers and lakes, steppes, mountains, trees, the moon, heavenly bodies. And not knowing how to thank, we do not receive other gifts.

Received what you asked for - thank the Almighty, you can in your own words, or better with 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 offering alms to poor people, tithes to the temple.

write in the column the names of the benefactors, only those given in the Sacrament of Baptism (in the genitive case - from whom: Nina, George, Lyubov, Sergius, Demetrius);
no need to enter the last name, patronymic, citizenship of the donor, as well as names in diminutive form (from Dasha, Seryoga, Sashka);
it is recommended to assign the status to the names: bol. - sick, mln. - infant (child under 7 years old), neg. - adolescent (teenager from 7 to 14 years old), warrior, cont. - not idle, pregnant;
give the completed form to the candlewoman and make the recommended donation (if a person is experiencing financial difficulties, then no one will demand payment from him for the demand);
there is no need to indicate the reason for gratitude, the Almighty knows everything and knows about everything, He is the Heart-bearer;
it is advisable to purchase a candle in the church (any, and its price and size do not affect the quality of gratitude or the fervor of prayer);
on the eve of the prayer, put it in a candlestick by the icon of Christ.

Rules of conduct during the prayer service

It is necessary to be personally present at the performance of the prayer service by the cleric and to work prayerfully together with him and other parishioners.
If a person is seriously ill, then on his behalf one of the relatives or acquaintances can attend the prayer service.
To be late for a service is ugly, to say the least. Usually the requirements are performed at the end of the Liturgy, and it always takes place in the morning. Therefore, it is first necessary to clarify the time of the beginning of the prayer service.
During prayer, you need to ponder over every word uttered by the priest and, if possible, after it, repeat the text to yourself.
