Secret prayers for gratitude to God.

Secret prayers for gratitude to God.

Thanksgiving prayers are words sent to the Saints in gratitude for happiness and peace. Often when everything is fine with a person, his life goes on as usual and problems pass, he takes it for granted.

And in moments when hardships and troubles overcome, many ask the heavens why they need such trials. This is how a person works, that he takes everything good for granted, but as for adversity, they are considered something undeserved. A believer, on the other hand, will call grace and happiness the grace of God, and problems and troubles - retribution for sins. He will thank the Lord for peace and happiness and pray for the non-admission of retribution for sins.

By this, a person asks to forgive him for mistakes and wrong decisions, changes his thinking to positive. And for this, in particular, prayers of thanksgiving are used.

Virgin Mary - the Most Holy Theotokos, who gave birth to the Savior Jesus Christ. There is very little information in the gospel regarding the Theotokos. Betrothed to Elder Joseph, she made a vow of devotion to God at the age of fourteen. Her husband Joseph took care of her and provided everything necessary. They lived in Nazareth, where the Archangel Gabriel appeared to Mary, who told her that she would give birth to a human savior.

Prayers of thanksgiving are read to her for bringing the Savior. Representatives of the beautiful half of humanity often ask her for a child, marriage, happiness in family life. In general, any women's problems are for the Mother of God, who should read the words not only with requests, but also with gratitude. After a woman asks her for what she dreams of, you need to read the words of gratitude. In addition, these same words should be repeated when everything a woman dreamed of will come true.

Here is one example of thanksgiving words to the Most Holy Theotokos.

“To the Theotokos, Mother of God, I direct my song, I praise the Virgin Mary and thank you! All Angels and Archangels serve and worship You, All authorities and masters obey You. Glory to Thy womb, glory to Thy majesty! You gave the world a human Savior, You gave everyone a chance to live and exist! You protect women and mothers of all, You endow them with Strength and stamina! In my life You helped me, for which my gratitude is boundless! I am destined to glorify Your name and hope for the mercy of the Lord! For all that I have, thank you worldly, Bow to you low. In this song, I'm not asking for help, but I pay tribute, I thank you for peace! I pray for my sins and my family, I ask for mercy! Amen! Amen! Amen!"

It is believed that each of us is accompanied from birth by an angel sent from heaven to earth for precisely these purposes. In order to have your own angel, it is not at all necessary to be baptized or profess Christianity. Many people confuse guardian angels with Saints.

The former have never been human, they are divine, ethereal and immortal. As for the Saints, they are the righteous who have ever lived on earth. The angel, at its own discretion, decides how and when to help a person, or not to help.

And in order to establish a strong contact with your angel, prayers are meant. In addition, they help those who do not use foul language, do not have bad habits, lives according to the laws of God and does not hold and does not carry evil in itself.

Angels often save people in situations where, it would seem, all hope is lost. But even if such situations have not happened in your life, there is something to thank the angels for. And it’s worth starting with the fact that he accompanies you everywhere.

The prayer is read seven times in the morning:

“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 help every day, for your participation! For intercession before the face of the Lord, for mercy! My gratitude knows no end and edge, Every day it increases and grows! Amen!"

This prayer is read several times a month, ideally every week. Before reading the magic words, it is necessary to clear the thoughts and mind of any negative thoughts and unpleasant sensations.

Nicholas the Pleasant or, as he is also called, Nicholas the Wonderworker is considered a very important figure, many prayers and petitions of people are addressed to him. From childhood, he chose the path of serving the Lord for himself, and when he grew up, he became the archbishop of Lycia. He did everything to help people, asked the Lord to forgive sinners, heal the sick, and save the weak.

Nowadays, many people, regardless of what religion they profess, ask Nicholas for a miracle. And very often a miracle happens in the life of those who ask. But even here it is not at all worth asking for something, but also giving thanks for what has already happened or will happen in the future.

This prayer is read twelve times before dinner:

“Great Wonderworker, all-praised Nikolai! I turn to You, not for help, but with gratitude. I beg you, faithful protector and helper of the human race, For forgiveness for our sins, for weaknesses! Thank you for a peaceful life, for family happiness, for prosperity and tranquility, for peace and grace! Your name I praise the light, I direct my prayer to You! Amen!"

Read a prayer when everything is fine with you. Try not to remember the Saints only in those moments when everything is bad for you. Such a prayer plan will help you avoid difficult trials in life and make your path full of positive events.

Prayer to Jesus Christ.

This text is best repeated several times a month, once. A prayer is read at dawn.

“Your Body is Holy, Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our God, May our thoughts be filled with it, our thoughts are full! Your Honest Blood will help us in atoning for human sins, I send my word of gratitude to You, I say my heartfelt thanks to You! For joy and health, for fun and happiness, For Your coming, for redemption! Amen!"

This thank you text is read only once, but it should be pronounced with feeling and placement. It is best to learn a prayer by heart, and not read from a piece of paper. In any case, before using it, it is recommended to repeat the words several times so that at the time of reading, you do not stutter, but speak from the bottom of your heart.

Remember, you need to thank only when thoughts and thoughts are pure. It is best not to use prayers for selfish purposes, since there will be no benefit from them.

Prayers are very different and must come from the heart. If you hold resentment or hatred, then it is best not to read prayers, because in this state they will not make sense. If you are ready to express your gratitude to the Saints, the Lord, the Angels, then it is not at all necessary to use pre-learned words. You can come up with your own prayer. To do this, it is enough to retire for a while and write on a white blank sheet everything for which you want to thank the Higher powers.

You can also improvise. To do this, it is enough at the moment of reading the words of thanks, to say everything that you think about, for which you are grateful. Words of this kind should come from the heart, and gratitude should be pure and sincere. Reading words is best in the morning. It is not recommended to read such prayers at sunset, in the evening or at night.

At such a crucial moment, a person in the room should be alone with his thoughts, he should not be distracted by anything. Therefore, it is best to take care in advance that the windows and doors are closed, the phone and TV are turned off.

Prayers are read in a half-whisper and a little in a singsong voice. It is not at all necessary to repeat the words loudly and in full voice, since with such pronunciation the sacrament of the rite is lost.

Thanksgiving prayers are most often read in the morning. Remember, they should be used not only after you have asked for something, but also for prevention. Especially when everything is good!

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

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

The text of the Thanksgiving Prayer to the Lord for every day

“We thank Thee, O Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present, in us, unworthy Thy servants (names), who were, they are also visible and not visible, about the manifest and the unrevealed, even the deeds of the former and the word: loving us as well as Thy only begotten Son for us to give, vouchsafe us worthy of being Thy love. Give by Your word wisdom and Your fear, inhale strength from Your strength, and if we sin willingly or unwillingly, forgive and do not blame, and save our holy soul, and present to Your Throne, I have a clean conscience, and the end is worthy of Your humanity; And remember, Lord, all who call upon Your name in truth; the same we pray to Thee, Lord, give us Thy benevolence and great mercy.

The Importance of Gratitude

Thanksgiving prayers are held every week in the churches. Only there are not as many parishioners on them as it could be. Perhaps this is because they do not fully understand the importance of this soul movement. It is no coincidence that the Holy Church included thanksgiving prayers in the daily morning rule. St. Ignatius (Bryanchaninov) 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 biblical teaching.

Blessing the name of God is truly a worthy occupation. King David wrote about this in his psalms: “Praise the name of the Lord,” he called on everyone. This does not need a special reason, because the greatness of creation is constantly before our eyes. And it is not the fault of the Lord that we do not notice him.

What to be thankful for:

• The Lord Jesus Christ gave His life for our transgressions, endured terrible torments, being holy.
• Because the Lord bears our sins.
• Everything that is 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 it and read the following prayer to the Lord:

“The Cathedral of the Holy Angels and Archangels, with all heavenly powers, sings to Thee, and says: Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of Hosts, heaven and earth are filled with Your glory. Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, hosanna in the highest. Save me, Thou art in the highest King, save me and sanctify me, Source of sanctification; From Thee, for all creation is strengthened, To Thee without number howls sing the thrice-holy song. You and I am unworthy, sitting in the light impregnable, everyone is horrified by him, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my mouth, as if I could worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord, always, now, and forever and for endless ages. Amen."

Perhaps a real feeling of joy will not immediately appear in the soul, but it will certainly appear and grow. With time. Therefore, it is so important to thank the higher powers every day.

Help is provided - but what about "thank you"?

When young children receive something from adults, they are taught to express gratitude. What are Christians who take great gifts from their Creator for granted? They look in his eyes ungrateful, disrespectful, simply ill-mannered. Yes, an adult will feed a child anyway. Just like the Good Creator will always help the one who asks. But this is no reason to take good deeds for granted.

Any trouble ends sooner or later. And this is always a manifestation of the care of the heavenly Father for his reckless children. Be sure to say a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord God for help. You may not really have time to visit the temple, but everyone can find a few minutes to mentally say: “Glory to You, Lord!”

It is a custom among devout Christians to exalt the heavenly powers even when things are not going well. They believe that trials are sent for their own benefit. Having endured them with honor, people hope to become more spiritual, closer to perfection.

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

Through their prayers, the Holy Spirit descends from heaven. He prompts right exit out of the situation, soothes and comforts the weak.

Universal Thanksgiving Prayer for All Saints

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 ask you, Intercessor before Your Son and God, Who redeem us with Your blood, so that we receive retribution in eternal glory. Save Thy people, Mother of God, and bless Thy inheritance, as if we were partakers of Thy inheritance; forbid and keep us even to the age. Every day, O Most Holy One, we wish to praise and please Thee with our hearts and lips. Grant, Most Merciful Mother, now and always from sin, save us; have mercy on us, Intercessor, have mercy on us. Be Thy mercy on us, as if we trust in Thee forever. Amen.

Impact of Gratitude

The Lord and the saints do not require our gratitude as something necessary for life. She just makes their hearts happy. Because it indicates 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 a spoiled child finally doing the right thing. Parents will certainly be in high spirits. Yes, and the one who prays will immediately feel better in his soul.

• Of course, gratitude to God and all the saints should be sincere. It is not enough to simply submit a note, pay the money, and leave with a sense 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 a father rejoice when a child says, "I love you!" This is what Christians should learn - to treat God as their heavenly parent.

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