Prayer of thanksgiving Lord God for everything

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.

Who needs a prayer of gratitude to God for everything and why? One day, Jesus Christ, enlightening the future Apostles, uttered the words: “You call Me Lord, Teacher..., and I am among you as one who serves.”

During earthly life, and to this day, He does not cease to patronize and care for us. And about everyone, not just Christians. Humanity can be divided into:

  • grateful to God;
  • never thanking;
  • involuntarily (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

Gratitude to God- not a simple manifestation of politeness. This is a response to His Love, filling the heart with joy, light, grace, which transforms the human soul. Imagine that your loved one has presented you with a bouquet of flowers. The mood immediately rises, it becomes light and pleasant. And this is just from some flowers. The gift of God is billions of times greater.

When giving thanks, a gate is opened through which the Spirit of God enters. Not only do “wings behind your back” grow, but spiritual wounds are healed, receiving the balm of belonging to eternity. Whatever it is in your soul, you just have to start thanking God, and pain, fear, and sorrow are transformed into silence, joy, and peace. Hopelessness and unbelief flow into living faith.

Ingratitude is pride

It turns out that thanks to us, we perform a miracle - we work together 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 connecting with the Lord we can be deified. A striking example absence of this feeling - Dennitsa. Having become proud, having lost his connection to the Creator, he imagined himself to be a god. Having once been the most beautiful of creatures, he turned into Satan - a terrible monster. Thank God we cannot see his current form.

Note: God tolerates us a lot, but He does not tolerate grumbling. Because this indicates a complete lack of gratitude. The Lord leaves such a person. Demons become his masters.

Why should you be grateful for everything?

The hardest thing is to understand that you need to thank not only for the help shown, 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, endured, and bore grief on our shoulders. The Lord does everything out of Love, out of Great mercy towards us. Not a single hair will fall from our head in vain. In order not to explain 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.

Parable: It's for the better

The two Africans had been friends since childhood, like inseparable brothers. One was chosen as king. Having taken a high position, he did not forget about his faithful friend - he was always there. But he had an oddity, which, for the time being, the Ruler put up with. No matter what happened, good or bad, the comrade always said: “This is for the best.”


One day while hunting, the king was injured: a finger was torn off by a charge. And his friend loaded his guns. Yes, apparently the gunpowder was packed too tightly. Despite such misfortune, he said, as usual: “My King, this is for the better!” But this time, he was angry and ordered the culprit to be put in prison.

A year later, during another hunt, the king and his entire retinue were captured by people from a tribe of cannibals. They tied him up and brought him to their village. They had a belief: if a person had some kind of physical defect, he should not eat it. Seeing that the king was missing one finger, they set him free.

Returning home, he remembered his bosom friend. The feeling of guilt that he had treated him badly haunted him. Then he decided to ask his friend for forgiveness. He came to him, told him everything, apologized for keeping him in prison for a year. To which he replied, smiling:

- King, you did a very good thing by imprisoning me - it’s for the best!

- Yes, you’re at it again! What good can this do?

- If you had not imprisoned me, I would have been hunting with you. And he would no longer speak, but would have been eaten by cannibals.

From the story it is clear that we do not immediately see what benefit illness or sorrow brings. Not in this world, but in the next we will know: the Lord dealt with us out of Love. Therefore, you must always give thanks for everything here on earth, trusting in God’s providence. Who knows, maybe it will be too late to do it later. Believe that everything that happens to us is for the better.

How to thank God for everything

A person cannot always feel a sense of gratitude both to people and to God. In illness or misfortune, one cannot speak of praise. The heart turns to stone, consciousness becomes dull, not only physical but also mental strength is taken away. I. Brianchaninov (having experienced it himself) advises:

  • Solitude. Slowly, pondering the words, say a few phrases out loud, overcoming your state and indifference.
  • Can I say briefly: Glory to You God, Glory to You. Thy will be done.
  • Or so: Glory to Thee, our God, for the sorrow sent.
  • Or like a thief crucified on the right: I accept what is worthy of my deeds: remember me in Your Kingdom.
  • Or repeat everything together several times. Until you feel peace and tranquility in your soul.
  • If you would like to express deeper gratitude, read Thanksgiving for every Good Deed of God presented on this page.
  • Ancient way You will find doxologies and prayers of praise in the Psalter. For example, kathismas 19 and 20 are fully consistent with this theme.
  • Finally, there is a wonderful Akathist: “Glory to God for everything,” compiled by Metropolitan Tryphon (B.P. Turkestanov).
  • In any temple You can order not only remembrance of relatives, but also thanksgiving to the Lord Jesus Christ.

See how quickly relief comes. If the situation seemed hopeless, there will be a way out. The situation will be resolved, the illness will begin to recede, and you will endure grief more easily. Repentance and humility that fill the heart will attract the Grace of the Holy Spirit, and with Him there is nothing to be afraid of. Then you will truly know how close the Lord is to us.

The highest form of gratitude to God for everything

There are many prayers of thanksgiving that you can choose to suit your occasion. Basil the Great recommended: preface any appeal with Doxology and 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, and not mine, O God,” show cherished humility.

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

Conclusion: We must thank God always, everywhere, for everything and constantly many times a day. But during the Liturgy, saying “Lord, have mercy” once means more than all the prayers, readable houses, even if you master 150 psalms.

Thank God for everything! For everything I have! For children and grandchildren, for spouse, for good people what's next to me! Thank you Lord for everything!

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 on our life path difficulties and difficult situations and obstacles arise, you cannot 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 life experience Yours.

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; because a lot comes to this house wonderful people, filled with subtle humor, strength and optimism, with which 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 earthly life ours, 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. Because, as in different 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.

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 heavy.

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.

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.

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

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 thankers, only those given in the Sacrament of Baptism (in 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 up to 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

  1. It is necessary to be personally present when the cleric performs a prayer service and work prayerfully together with him and other parishioners.
  2. If a person is seriously ill, then one of his relatives or friends can attend the prayer service on his behalf.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 about the quality; your thanksgiving will not be diminished at all by this.

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 severe trials, which 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.

We humbly pray to Your ineffable mercy: just as now You have accepted our prayers and fulfilled them, so in the future let us succeed in love for You, for our neighbors and in all virtues. And make us worthy to always thank and glorify You, together with Your beginningless Father and Your all-holy, good, and consubstantial Spirit. Amen."

Prayer of thanksgiving for all the blessings of God, St. John of Kronstadt

God! What will I bring to You, how will I thank You for Your constant, greatest mercies to me and to the rest of Your people? For behold, every moment I am enlivened by Your Holy Spirit, every moment I breathe the air You diffuse, light, pleasant, healthy, strengthening - I am enlightened by Your joyful and life-giving light - spiritual and material; I feed on sweet and life-giving spiritual food and the same drink, the holy Mysteries of Your Body and Blood and material sweet food and drinks; You dress me with a bright, beautiful royal robe - with Yourself and material clothes, you cleanse my sins, heal and cleanse my many and fierce sinful passions; You take away my spiritual corruption in the power of Your immeasurable goodness, wisdom and strength, and fill me with Your 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 hands to fight and my fingers to fight 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 high places; You crown with success my deeds done in Your name... For all this I thank, glorify and bless Your all-good, fatherly, all-powerful power, O God, our Savior, our Benefactor. But be known by Your other people as You appeared to me, O Lover of Mankind, so that they may know You, the Father of all, Your goodness, Your providence, Your wisdom and power, and glorify You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer of thanksgiving to the Blessed Virgin Mary

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 Your mercy be upon us, as we trust in You forever. Amen.

Why is a prayer of thanksgiving necessary?

In what situations does a person turn to God? Most likely, you will agree that most often, or rather almost always, we remember God when we do not find a solution to the situation in ordinary worldly life. That is, when we feel bad: we are seriously ill, something doesn’t work out at work, or we can’t find it at all, when we encounter any difficult situations etc.

And when we find no way out we turn to higher powers. This appeal is always expressed in some kind of request.

Often, all our communication with God comes down to one request. We constantly forget about gratitude. Even when we receive something, we still forget to thank God for his help and read a Prayer of Thanks to the Lord

Gratitude is a Godly quality

One should never forget about a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord. We must thank God always, in everything and everywhere. The feeling of gratitude is a very important quality that you should not forget about and constantly develop it in yourself. A person should not worry about being thanked. He must want to thank himself.

Gratitude is a Godly quality. It is evidence of the deep image and likeness of God in man. Gratitude is one of the most important Christian traits in a person, which every true Christian believer should strive for.

We need to give thanks not only when we receive something, but also for what we already have

When to give thanks

Of course, when we receive something in life through our petitions, be it, or we find new job With better conditions, we must certainly thank God, expressing this in a prayer of gratitude to the Lord.

But it is very important to understand that the prayer of gratitude to God for everything should not only sound for getting what you want. Read a prayer grateful to God for everything you need even when nothing special happens.

We take everything we have in life for granted. And we never think about the fact that we need to thank not only when we receive something, but also for what we already have.

Gratitude is the first feeling we should feel towards God

And we have quite a lot: we can walk, talk, see, hear, wake up in the morning and fall asleep in the evening. But you must admit, we rarely think about thanking God for these seemingly simple, understandable things. But if you turn around and look around, you will see that these simple, ordinary, as it seems to us, human skills are not given to everyone.

In the world great amount people who cannot do even half of what is given to us: they do not speak, do not walk, cannot hear and see. Simply put, people with disabilities, disabled people.

Therefore, it is very important to understand that if you can get out of bed, wake up at home early in the morning, brew yourself and drink a cup of coffee, get dressed, again, without anyone’s help and go outside, inhaling a couple of sips of fresh spring air, you already have great wealth for which you need to thank God.

Moreover, you need to be grateful for the fact that you were born and had the opportunity to come into this world. The miracle of birth, like everything else, happens by the will of God. It is very important to realize this and offer prayers of thanks on ordinary, as it seems to us, unremarkable days.
