Thanksgiving for the love of God and prayer for the increase of love for God

Merciful, merciful, philanthropic and good God! I thank You, Lover of mankind, from the depths of my heart for Your great, inexpressible, fatherly love, with which You, loving God and Father, have always loved me. You care for me, you hear my prayer, you count my tears, you see my sighs, you know all my sorrow. You gave me Your beloved Son through His incarnation, through the holy Gospel You taught and comforted me, through His example showed me the way and the rule of a holy life, through His suffering and death You redeemed me from eternal death, through His ascension to heaven opened paradise to me and prepared a place in heaven. You enlightened me with Your Holy Spirit, sanctified, comforted, strengthened, taught me and gave me joy, and through Him assured me of the children of God and eternal inheritance. You not only showed me great blessings, but also gave me Yourself with Your beloved Son and the Holy Spirit. How can I thank You enough for this great love? Grant me such a heart that I will never forget your love. Don't let her ever fade away in my heart. Ignite my heart, enlighten my mind, sanctify my will, rejoice my memory and unite me with You forever!

Thanksgiving for God's help in danger and preservation from harm

My God, I thank Thee that Thou hast established my steps in Thy paths, so that my steps do not deviate. You have shown me Your wondrous mercy, You have kept me like the apple of an eye, in the shadow of Your wings you have sheltered me from the enemies of my soul who surround me. What will I repay the Lord for all the good deeds to me? Blessed be, Lord, my God, who works miracles alone, and blessed be Thy holy name forever, and may the whole earth be filled with Thy glory! Amen.

The relationship between man and God cannot do without gratitude - man is in no way capable of repaying the Creator for everything he receives. The priceless gift of life, the opportunity to admire this world, to love, to raise children - all this is an undeserved gift! Therefore, everyone should say a prayer of thanksgiving to God for everything.

To whom the prayer of Gratitude is read

In addition to the Lord, the believer has another patron - this is the Guardian Angel. Every day, believers ask him to guide them to the true, not to let them sin, to keep them during travels and troubles. Prayers of gratitude to the Guardian Angel will also not be superfluous. You can say them at any time.

• At the end of any business.
• After returning home from work.
• After a successful trip.
• When did you recover from illness?

Some events seem ordinary and not very important. But not a single thing a person could bring to the end, if not for the vital force, given by God. Even a blade of grass will not grow without His blessing, let alone creativity, important public affairs. Therefore, it is imperative to find a few seconds and pray: “Glory to You, Lord!” There will always be time for this.

Be sure to thank the Creator and Guardian Angel when a good thought comes to mind. After visiting the temple, participating in the Liturgy, one must read special thanksgiving prayers to God and the guardian angel. Many forget about them, only having crossed the threshold of the church, they plunge headlong into the usual fuss. This is not possible, we must preserve the consciousness that earthly life is not the main thing that we have. Ahead is eternity, for the sake of which believers are trying to fight against sins.

How to properly thank God or Guardian Angel

Prayers can be said in free form - after all, only a person himself knows what the trials cost him, what he asked for and what came true. It is advisable to go to the temple, put a candle to the image of the Savior, read any prayer - you can briefly (Glory ... And now ...) or the Great Doxology. This is a very ancient chant, which is specially composed in order to exalt, thank God and worship Him.

Here is briefly shown how a person receives from Christ the greatest gift - the salvation of his soul. Gradually opening up to the grace of God, the believer at the end expresses the hope that he will see the divine light that will drive all the blackness out of his soul. Only the one who strives for perfection realizes the whole need for gratitude, or rather, it becomes a desirable state for him, because this is what the righteous do in paradise, glorify God.

Thanksgiving Prayer to God

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

I thank and praise You, Lord, for the fact that every second my house is filled with Your Light, Your love; for the fact that peace reigns in it, peace and love 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 hold together 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 the 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 glorify You, the One Lord, for the fact that our planet is filled with fiery streams of wisdom, strength, love and successfully undergoes its Transformation and Ascension into the Light.
Lord, I connect all the beautiful dreams of mankind 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 whole planet. And every grass, every stalk, every bug, bird, animal, man, angel, elemental smiles back at me and thanks and glorifies You, Lord, who created Paradise on Earth with me. Amen".

Psalms for expressing gratitude

It is very good when a believer has a desire to read a prayer of gratitude. For this purpose, any psalm that gives praise to the Lord is perfect: 33, 65, 102, 103, 116, 150. You can take your choice and read it. Words coming from the heart are wonderful, but there are recognized masterpieces of religious poetry, hardly anyone will be able to express the depth of feelings better than King David did.

In addition, reading the Holy Scriptures is very useful for the soul, so that the reader achieves several goals at once - he communicates with the Lord, educates his soul, and educates the mind.

Thanksgiving prayers

Many churches hold thanksgiving prayers - find out the schedule and go to it. You can specially order such a service, only a personal presence on it is desirable. Think for yourself how you will look: the Lord has done what you asked for, and you are trying to thank him by submitting a note without bothering to spend half an hour praying - ugly ...

You can write down the names of your loved ones (even unbelievers) for a prayer service, it’s good to enter those with whom relations are not very smooth - pray that the Lord blesses them. There is no special rite of gratitude to the Mother of God and the saints. This is explained simply - we have one giver of all blessings, this is God. By his power, the righteous perform miracles, and not by their own will.

Text of the Prayer of Gratitude to the Guardian Angel

“To the angel of Christ, my holy guardian and patron of my soul and body, forgive me all, the fir-tree I have sinned in this day: and deliver me from all the wickedness of my adversary enemy, but in no sin will I anger my God, but pray for me a sinner and unworthy servant, as if worthy of me, show the goodness and mercy of the All-Holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and all the saints. Amen".

How to Thank the Saints

If you want to read a prayer of gratitude to an angel, saints, you can read akathists. For example, in order to give praise to the Mother of God, the Great Akathist is taken or the icon near which they prayed. You can give alms, provide all possible assistance to someone, participate in volunteer work. Only in this way does good multiply on earth. Seeing what changes take place in a person, all heaven rejoices, this is the best gratitude for the saints.

Even if times are hard, we must not forget to be grateful. Sorrows are not sent in vain - they are brought up through them good qualities so necessary for the salvation of the soul. One of them is trust in God, because he does not give a burden that a person cannot bear. The great Saint John Chrysostom said that if you endure sorrows without complaint and give thanks to the Creator, this will be equated with martyrdom.

But even if it seems that everything is bad, in fact, you can always find a reason for joy. Mankind has forgotten how to see the good around itself - people live, love, inhale the scent of flowers, bask in the sun, give birth to children, but take it for granted. So we ourselves block the opportunity to receive new gifts from God.

We should cultivate the ability to thank, to give our neighbors what we have. Then the joy will only multiply, problems will become less over time. Why? Because a person will learn to trust God, let Him deal with everything that we are trying to control and do in our own way.

How to achieve such a state? It is very simple - every day to read the prayer book, there is also a prayer of gratitude to God for everything. This feeling will grow, the connection with the Creator will increase. God bless you!

Performing various daily activities and taking care of their daily bread, many periodically cease to remember the most significant. In this regard, the right attitude to reality, to one's neighbor and to oneself may also be lost.

It is prayer that is that wonderful tool that allows you to turn to the Almighty, maintain unceasing communication and relationships with him. Such relationships are more than significant for a believer. If a we are talking about the Orthodox faith, then every person needs to be able to pray, and not only ask something from the Higher powers, but also read thanksgiving prayers to the Lord and other saints.

How and when to give thanks

As a rule, people turn to only in difficult times, when they want to ask for something or receive something.. Of course, the Lord is merciful and gives everyone according to faith and is able to support in difficult times. Nevertheless, such an attitude looks consumerist, and is it reasonable to leave yourself without the opportunity to pray with greater frequency?

The ideal is unceasing prayer, which allows you to receive indescribable spiritual benefits, but only great ascetics who show incredible efforts and diligence can achieve this. Worldly people should at least simply not forget about the Almighty and pray periodically. Especially valuable are prayers of thanksgiving, which do not require or ask for anything, but simply offer your gratitude.

Prayers of thanksgiving should be offered as daily as possible, and best of all sincerely with a clear understanding of value. For example, you can raise thanksgiving prayer in the morning for the opportunity to wake up again, to see a bright day again and the like.

Many perceive awakening as a completely natural and well-deserved event, but forget about the possibility of falling asleep sometime and not waking up. Such people do not even realize how much they do not control such opportunities and what happiness every new day is. Before you take a morning prayer rule for yourself, you should think about it in detail and understand why exactly you are expressing gratitude.

When you clearly realize the presence of the Supreme in all your affairs and in every second of your existence, you feel this gratitude. You understand the relevance of giving thanks after a completed task or after a completed day. No matter how good or bad this day seemed to you, you honor the providence of the Lord and give thanks for the opportunity to receive these joys or trials.

Certainly, the hardest thing is to give thanks for adversity and difficulties. Reason and faith are not always enough to show patience and humility, to accept some trials as a lesson. Nevertheless, it is precisely such sincere and understanding prayers that are especially valuable and, by the way, they help to overcome various difficulties.

So that you can pray in different situations, the following are various options prayers. These words turn to the Lord and the Mother of God.

On every day

The most common prayer is the "Our Father" which every Christian should know. This prayer can also be considered as a thanksgiving and can be used daily.

• By awakening.
• Before going to sleep.
• Before start of business(beginning of work).
• By completion of the case.
• Before eating.
• Before making decisions, in hard situations.
• When joyfully at heart, after receiving something.

Next Prayer to the Lord refers to gratitude for help in various matters. After all, the Lord helps in all matters, and you need to offer gratitude with the understanding of this fact:

“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, who are also known and not known, about those who were manifest and not manifest, even those who were in deed and in word: love 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. Amen."

From the prayers of the Mother of God, one should recall the prayer rule, which many Orthodox read daily:

“Virgin Mother of God, rejoice, Blessed Mary, the Lord is with you; Blessed are you in women and blessed is the fruit of your womb, as if the Savior gave birth to our souls.”

In addition, we note the following thanksgiving (most often read after communion) prayer:

“Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, cover, refuge, consolation, my joy! I thank You that You have vouchsafed me, unworthy, to become a partaker of the most pure Body and the precious Blood of Your Son. But, who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten the spiritual eyes of my heart. Source of immortality Give birth, revive me, mortified by sin. Merciful God, loving mercy Mother, have mercy on me and give me tenderness and contrition in my heart, and humility in my thoughts, and a call to good thoughts when my mind is captivated. And make me worthy until my last breath, not in condemnation, to accept the sanctuary of the most pure Mysteries for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and thanksgiving so that I may sing and praise You all the days of my life, for You are blessed and glorified forever. Amen."

After you have thanked our Lord Jesus Christ. You should also contact your Guardian and offer the following thanksgiving prayer:

Even if I thank and glorify my Lord, the One God of the Orthodox Jesus Christ for His benevolence, I appeal to you, holy angel of Christ, Divine warrior. I cry out with a prayer of thanksgiving, I thank you for your mercy to me and for your intercession for me before the face of the Lord. Glory be in the Lord, angel!

How to pray to all saints?

Not always in your house there are icons of all the saints whom you want to thank, but now the image of this or that saint can be available to you on the computer screen. If you pray to one or another saint, then most often give thanks for some area in which, let's say, this saint is in charge.

When you have sincere motivation and reasonable understanding, there is no need to follow the canonical texts or recite secret prayers at all. The canon was created in order to tune you in the right way, to lead you away from unnecessary thoughts and moods..

However, if you yourself understand who to thank and have the right motivation, you can pray in your own words.

Having named the name of the saint, you can silently whisper or aloud express your gratitude. If you like, you can end the prayer with three Amen.

If we are talking about prayers of thanksgiving, then, of course, all thanksgiving should be offered to the Lord. According to tradition, if we turn to the saints, then we ask them to pray for us, that is, turn to the Almighty for some of our well-being. At the same time, there are also thanksgiving addresses within the canon and outside the canon to saints.

However, here it is necessary to understand the essence of such appeals. When we ask for something holy we ask simply because of his greater closeness to the Lord. The ascetic spent the entire earthly path in order to get closer to him and was constantly strengthened by prayer.

When some saint helps us, then the Lord himself helps, but in some way thanks to this saint. Therefore, when we thank a saint, we first of all thank the Almighty, but we also thank the saint, without whom our faith might not be enough to ask for help.

Panteleimon the healer

A prayer of thanksgiving for a healer is usually read after liberation from illness:

“Holy Great Martyr, Healer and Wonderworker Panteleimon, All-Right Pleaser of God and Prayer of Orthodox Christians!

You were worthy named Panteleimon, even if you are all-merciful, as if, having received from God the grace to pray for us and heal illnesses, you richly give to all who flow to you, various healings and everything for temporary life and salvation: for this we are unworthy, having been honored your mercy, we run to you before your holy icon, and glorifying you, as a sincere saint of God, our faithful prayer book and healer, we sincerely thank you and the giver of all the blessings of the Lord our God about the great blessings, from Him you were to us.

Graciously accept this little prayerful thanksgiving of ours, for it is not the imams who otherwise give you according to your property, and the rest of the time of our belly do not deprive us, the weak and sinners, of your help and prayerful intercession with the Lord our God, to whom all glory, thanksgiving and worship is due , to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen."

Nicholas the Wonderworker

thanksgiving prayer for Wonderworker:

“Nicholas Ugodniche! I address you as a teacher and shepherd with faith and respect, with love and reverence. I send you words of gratitude, I pray for a prosperous life. I thank you very much, I hope for mercy and forgiveness. For sins, for thoughts, yes for thoughts. As you have mercy on all sinners, so have mercy on me. From trials of terrible fences and from death in vain. Amen."

Archangel Michael

thanksgiving prayer Archangel Michael:

“Chosen of the heavenly forces of the governor and the kind of human intercessor, this to you, even from you we deliver from the mournful, we bring thanksgiving singing: you, as if standing before the Throne of the King of Glory, free us from all troubles, but with faith and love we call you in praise: Rejoice, Michael, the great Archangel, with all the heavenly powers.

After meal

Almost every religion, to one degree or another, touches on the subject of eating food. Of course, food is essential as a support for the existence of a mortal body, but equally food sometimes becomes an incentive to unbridledness.

Many traditions seek to honor fasting in every possible way, condemn gluttony and instruct people to eat food only to maintain the body, but not for their own pleasure and enjoyment of taste. Including Christianity, which spiritualizes the process of eating with various prayers. The most common is the one that read after eating, sounds like this:

“We thank Thee, Christ our God, for Thou hast satisfied us with Thy earthly blessings; do not deprive us of Your Heavenly Kingdom, but as if in the midst of Your disciples, Thou hast come, Savior, give them peace, come to us and save us.

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen. Lord have mercy. (Thrice) Bless."

After reading, you should wait a bit at the table. However you should not eat any food after prayer. You have to wait until the next meal.

If you eat food in a public space, or at a party, then you may well limit yourself to reading to yourself. Equally, at home in the company of other people, such a ritual should not always be observed, especially in front of people whom you can significantly embarrass, although if such a tradition has taken root in your home, you may well follow this tradition without disturbing anyone.

Also thanksgiving prayers can be heard, this allows you to get the right sincere and prayerful mood and adjust in the right way.

Prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord is an integral part in the life of every Orthodox Christian. This prayer has special meaning and should be in the obligatory list of prayers.

There are different types of thanksgiving prayers. Below are the prayers thanksgiving to the Lord God, the Mother of God, Jesus Christ, as well as the guardian angel, and you can choose for yourself any of your choice. The main thing is that the words of any prayer you choose should be pronounced sincerely, from a pure heart. Then the Lord will hear and give you much more than you asked for.

Why Prayer of Thanksgiving Is 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 does not add up at work, or we cannot find it at all when faced with any difficult situations etc.

And when we do not find any 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 help and read the Thanksgiving Prayer to the Lord

Gratitude is a Godly Attribute

The prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord should never be forgotten. We should 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 quality of God. It is evidence deep image and the likeness of God in man. Gratitude is one of the most important Christian traits in a person, which every true Christian should strive for.

We should be grateful 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 according to our petitions, whether it is or we find new job with the best conditions, we must certainly thank God, expressing this in a prayer of thanksgiving to the Lord.

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

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

Gratitude is the first feeling we should have towards God

And we have a lot: we can walk, talk, see, hear, wake up in the morning and fall asleep in the evenings. But you must admit that we rarely think about gratitude to 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.

There are a huge number of people in the world who cannot do even half of what is given to us: they cannot speak, they cannot walk, they cannot hear and see. Simply put, people with disabilities, people with disabilities.

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

Moreover, you need to give thanks for the fact that you were born and got 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 thanksgiving prayers on ordinary, as it seems to us, unremarkable days.

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 believing in Him, one must be able to give thanks.

What to give thanks for

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

Icon of Jesus Christ

It seems that there is 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 as something 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 the Sky 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.

We received what we asked for - thank the Almighty, you can use your own words, but 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 thanksgiving to the Lord God should sound from the lips of the petitioners.

It is necessary to learn to appreciate what seems for granted, 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 give thanks to Jesus Christ with a pure heart and a bright soul, only then it will reach the Throne of God. And in response to the prayer book, God's blessing and mercy will descend.

Rules of conduct during prayer

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

What else you need to know about the church:

• about health;
• about travelers;
• pleading;
• water-consecrated.

Sometimes the priest serves a common moleben, uniting all the requirements ordered for that day. Do not worry, the "quality" of your thanksgiving will not be diminished by this at all.
