Everyone is pleased to hear words of gratitude addressed to them, whether for the service or help provided. The most common "thank you" is very pleasant to our hearts. Prayers to God for everything that he gives us and helps us are just as pleasant. In such a prayer we express our love for Him and gratitude for His patronage.

It is the Lord who sends us many graces, gives us life, health, happiness, and everything that surrounds us. And forgetting about the need to express our gratitude to the Almighty, we act towards Him - not honestly.

Prayer of thanksgiving to God for help

When on our life path difficulties and difficult situations and obstacles arise, one cannot grumble at the Lord. After all, He sends us trials not in vain. This is how He shows us that we are doing something wrong, that the way of life that we lead 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 prayer words.

For what we should thank God:

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

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

“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".

Prayer of gratitude to the Guardian Angel and God's Pleasing

The Lord grants each of us a guardian angel who is with us everywhere, protecting earthly life ours, protects from everything terrible and evil, and does not leave even after death.

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

Read prayer words to your Angel before any business:

“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 enemy, but I will anger my God in no sin, 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".

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

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

This is how, for example, they read a thanksgiving prayer to St. Nicholas:

“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"

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

May the Lord keep you!

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.

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.

Give thanks to Jesus Christ with 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, 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 manifested and the unmanifested, even the deeds of the former and the word: loving us, as if and 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 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 full of 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.

We praise God to you, we confess the Lord to you, all the earth magnifies to you the Eternal Father; To you all the angels, to you the heavens and all the Powers, to you the Cherubim and Seraphim with unceasing voices cry out: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory, You are the glorious Apostolic face, You are a prophetic laudatory number, Praises the brightest to You martyr's army, the Holy Church confesses to you throughout the universe, the Father of incomprehensible majesty, worshiping your true and only-begotten Son and Holy Comforter of the Spirit. You, the King of glory, Christ, You are the Father's Eternal Son: You, accepting man for deliverance, did not abhor the Virgin's womb; You, having overcome the sting of death, opened the Kingdom of Heaven to the believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, Judge come and believe. We ask you: help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with the Holy Blood. Vouchsafe to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I amend and exalt them forever; let us bless you all the days and praise your name forever and ever. Grant, O Lord, on this day, without sin, be preserved for us. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: be Thy mercy, Lord, on us, as if we put our trust in Thee. We put our trust in Thee, O Lord, that we may not be put to shame forever. Amen.

Thanksgiving Ministry

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

How to order a prayer service

To order it you need:

  • come to the temple and write a note in a candle shop with the title “Prayer of thanksgiving to Jesus Christ”;
  • enter 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, Dimitri);
  • it is not necessary to enter the surname, patronymic, citizenship of the benefactor, as well as names in a diminutive form (from Dashenka, Seryoga, Sasha);
  • it is recommended to attribute the status to the names: bol. - sick, mld. - infant (child under 7 years old), neg. - lad (teenager from 7 to 14 years old), warrior, nepr. - idle, pregnant;
  • give the completed form to the candlestick and make the recommended donation (if a person is experiencing financial difficulties, then no one will require him to pay for the demand);
  • the reason for gratitude does not need to be indicated, the Almighty knows everything and is aware of everything, He is the Knower of the Heart;
  • 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 ardor of prayer);
  • on the eve of the prayer service, put it in a candlestick near the icon of Christ.

Important! Gratitude to God rises 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

  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 at 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.

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

Service in the church is performed in the Church Slavonic dialect. This language is far from clear to all parishioners, therefore it is recommended to parse the text of the prayer service on your own 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 trebs:

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.

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

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

Advice! If everything in life does not turn out 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.

Thanksgiving prayers to the Lord and the saints

Thanksgiving prayers are words that come from the very depths of our hearts, addressed to the Lord and the Saints in gratitude for the right to a happy and peaceful life.

Most often, when everything goes well in our life and troubles bypass us, we take it for granted. But with the advent of trouble, sadness covers us from the head. At such moments, we strive to turn in prayers to all the saints and to God with requests to save us from suffering, completely forgetting about the words of gratitude for the constant help and support of Heaven.

Features of thanksgiving prayers

Every believer must understand that happiness, joy and good luck are a gift from the Lord for our pious and good deeds, and misfortunes, troubles and hardships are a punishment for our sins. To avoid retribution for sinful misdeeds, it is necessary not only to ask for help, but also to pray for forgiveness and omission of sins.

It should be remembered that no matter how hard it is for you in life, in no case should you forget about gratitude to the Lord and all the saints for your good health, for a happy friendly family, for kindness in your heart and peace in your soul. After all, a happy life is full dedication. Expressing gratitude to God and the saints in prayers should become a useful habit that will change your destiny in the future. The closer you are to the Lord, the farther away from you are all worldly misfortunes.

For gratitude to God and all the saints, it is necessary to read special prayers that carry a thankful character. A day started with words of gratitude automatically becomes a time of happiness, opportunity and good luck. After all, a simple thank you addressed to the Lord and His saints cleanses the soul, gives strength, charges with light and sets in a positive way.

Thanksgiving Prayer to the Lord

Words of gratitude should be read both in the morning and in the evening. The most important - read them with love, sincerity and faith in the heart. Thanksgiving goes like this:

“O Lord our God, we bow before You in words of gratitude! You are our Father, the Creator of all living things, and we are Your servants! We say thank you for all the generous gifts that you bring to our lives! You are our strength, You are our support, You are the will and unshakable spirit in us! Thank you for the food that You give us every day, thank you for protection from enemies and misfortunes! Thank you, Lord, for giving us life and for staying with us, helping in the difficult days of our lives!

You are our heart, You are our love! Accept genuine words of gratitude and never leave us, our Father! Amen. Amen. Amen".

Prayer of Gratitude to the Guardian Angel

The Guardian Angel, mentor and protector assigned to us from Above, also needs sincere prayers and words of gratitude, because He protects our life, personal happiness and well-being, shielding us from evil influence. Prayer to the Guardian Angel sounds like this:

“Oh, our Great Creator! I thank You for giving me a Guardian Angel along with my life! Let me read a prayer to your Angel in gratitude for his intercession! Thank you my holy angel Protection! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! I thank You, my Intercessor, for the help that You give me every day! Because you are always behind my back, protecting me. You are my support and my support! Thank you for the light that illuminates my path to righteousness! I thank You, my reliable protection, for Your presence in my life, for mercy and kindness! I am grateful that you save me from sinful deeds. Do not leave me until the last minutes of my life on earth! Be my guide to the Kingdom of God when I complete my earthly path. My love for You and gratitude grows in my soul and heart day by day! Amen".

Prayer to the saints of God with gratitude

Under various life circumstances, we pray to different saints, but gratitude for their help can be expressed in one prayer that illuminates our souls with light. There is no believer who, in difficult times, was not helped by the saints of God, therefore it is necessary to thank them for Heavenly patronage by reading the prayer:

"Oh great saints God's! I turn to you with a prayer, but I do not ask for help that you give me in difficult moments of life. With gratitude, I turn to you in prayer. You are my intercessors, you are the support of all the people of the earth. I pray for the forgiveness of our sins, our anger and weaknesses. Thank you, pious saints, for life in peace and harmony, for family happiness and well-being, for a calm life without needs and sorrow. We will not stop praising your names and sending you words of gratitude. From now on and forever and ever. Amen".

Thanksgiving Prayer to the Mother of God

The Most Holy Theotokos is the intercessor of every praying soul, an ambulance and patroness of the destitute. In prayers, more than one thousand people turn to the Mother of God every day, asking Her for the most secret. Like any mother, the Virgin Mary wants to hear that everything is in order with Her children, that Her help came in handy. Be sure to read the words of gratitude addressed to Her:

“Oh, Blessed Virgin Mary! Queen of earth and heaven! Mother of our Savior! You are our hope, our support and support! Our consolation is in You! I thank You, O Most Pure Virgin, for the deeds of light, for the healing of the ailments of the soul and body, for Your compassion for us, for the deliverance of our souls from malice, sorrow and evil thoughts! In You - immortality, strength and love all! Please accept my gratitude to You! Thank you, Holy Virgin, that you pray before the Lord for the soul of everyone! I thank You for peace and light in my soul, for a healthy body and clear, kind thoughts! May Your strength be with me to the end of my journey! I will never tire of glorifying Your most holy name, and in words of gratitude to You my prayer sounds. Amen".

Thanksgiving Ministry

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

How to order a prayer service

To order it you need:

  • come to the temple and write a note in a candle shop with the title “Prayer of thanksgiving to Jesus Christ”;
  • enter 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, Dimitri);
  • it is not necessary to enter the surname, patronymic, citizenship of the benefactor, as well as names in a diminutive form (from Dashenka, Seryoga, Sasha);
  • it is recommended to attribute the status to the names: bol. - sick, mld. - infant (child under 7 years old), neg. - lad (teenager from 7 to 14 years old), warrior, nepr. - idle, pregnant;
  • give the completed form to the candlestick and make the recommended donation (if a person is experiencing financial difficulties, then no one will require him to pay for the demand);
  • the reason for gratitude does not need to be indicated, the Almighty knows everything and is aware of everything, He is the Knower of the Heart;
  • 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 ardor of prayer);
  • on the eve of the prayer service, put it in a candlestick near the icon of Christ.

Important! Gratitude to God rises 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

  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.

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

Service in the church is performed in the Church Slavonic dialect. This language is far from clear to all parishioners, therefore it is recommended to parse the text of the prayer service on your own 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 trebs:

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.

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

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

Advice! If everything in life does not turn out 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 Eight, to our Lord Jesus Christ

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

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

Many-merciful and all-merciful my God,

Lord Jesus Christ,

For the sake of love, many came down and were embodied, as if you would save everyone.

And again, Savior, save me by grace, I pray Thee;

If you save me from deeds, there is no grace, and a gift, but more duty.

Hey, many in generosity and inexpressible in mercy!

Believe more in Me, advert thou,

O my Christ, he will live and will not see death forever.

And what about faith, I'm in You, saves the desperate, I believe, save me,

Like my God, thou art the Creator. Faith, instead of deeds, be imputed to me,

My God, do not find any deeds that justify me.

But let that faith of mine prevail instead of all,

She will answer, she will justify me,

May she show me a partaker of Your eternal glory.

Let not Satan steal me away and boast,

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

But either I want to, save me, or I don’t want to, Christ my Savior, anticipate soon, soon perished:

You are my God from my mother's womb. vouchsafe me

Lord, now love You,

Like I love sometimes the same sin;

And packs to work for You without laziness, thinly, I worked on the skin before flattering Satan.

Most of all, I will work for you,

Lord and my God Jesus Christ,

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

An ungrateful person is worse than an animal. As the Prophet Isaiah said: "The ox knows its owner, and the donkey knows its master's manger." It turns out that if a person does not think about who is his creator and who gives him everything that he has, then he becomes worse than an ox and a donkey, who know who feeds them. And only being thankful to God for all his life gifts, we can accept these gifts at least somewhat worthily.

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

Everyone who turns to the Most Pure One will surely receive healing, requested help and intercession.

Prayer of thanksgiving to God for everything

"Save me, God!". Thank you for visiting our site, before you start studying the information, please subscribe to our Vkontakte group Prayers for every day. Also visit our page in Odnoklassniki and subscribe to her Prayers for every day Odnoklassniki. "God bless you!".

Everyone is pleased to hear words of gratitude addressed to them, whether for the service or help provided. The most common "thank you" is very pleasant to our hearts. Prayers to God for everything that he gives us and helps us are just as pleasant. In such a prayer we express our love for Him and gratitude for His patronage.

It is the Lord who sends us many graces, gives us life, health, happiness, and everything that surrounds us. And forgetting about the need to express our gratitude to the Almighty, we act towards Him - not honestly.

Prayer of thanksgiving to God for help

When difficulties and difficult situations and obstacles arise on our life path, we cannot grumble at the Lord. After all, He sends us trials not in vain. This is how He shows us that we are doing something wrong, that the way of life that we lead 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 prayer words.

For what we should thank God:

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

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

“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".

Prayer of gratitude to the Guardian Angel and God's Pleasing

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

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

Read prayer words to your Angel before any business:

“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 enemy, but I will anger my God in no sin, 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".

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

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

This is how, for example, they read a thanksgiving prayer to St. Nicholas:

“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"

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

May the Lord keep you!

The Gospel tells of Jesus healing ten lepers, of whom only one returned to thank Him; for which he was justified, and they were condemned. In order not to be among those reproached by God, the Church proposes to follow the example of the tenth leper through participation in thanksgiving prayers. These are short services performed on behalf of the entire community of believers or in private from each of them for any God's good deed.

So, every year on May 9, we serve a thanksgiving service for sending down victory in the Great Patriotic War, and in Kiev, traditionally, at the end of each year, the metropolitan performs a thanksgiving service at the monument to the Baptist of Rus' - these are examples of mass prayers. But each individual person in life will find cases of God's personal mercy: only for him or for a limited circle of close people. Then, in order to perform a thanksgiving service, a special (special) petition should be submitted in the church.

The procedure for submitting a request (requirement) for a thanksgiving prayer service is common for all prayer services.

  1. You need to come to the temple and give your order in the form of a note to the candle maker (a worker who sells books and office supplies in the church shop), paying a certain donation amount. It will also be good at the same time to specially buy a candle, which is lit in front of the image of the Savior immediately before the prayer service.
  2. You can write a note in advance at home on plain paper the size of a quarter of an A4 sheet or half of a notebook. Or you can do it right in the temple. Now, in almost all of them, in a specially designated place for this, there are printed blank forms for every need and a whole arsenal of fountain pens (but just in case, have one more with you). If for any reason you cannot write the note yourself, ask the same candlestick or any of the parishioners to do it for you.
  3. In the title, write "Prayer of Thanksgiving." If there is already the word “prayer” on the finished form, just sign “thank you” under it. Unlike other prayers, it is addressed only to the Lord Jesus Christ.
  4. Below, list in the genitive case the names of those from whom gratitude is given: (from) Olga, Irina, Nikolai, etc. (no need to write a pretext). It can be either several or one person, the main thing is that the gratitude of each of them should be conscious. The names are indicated, given at Baptism, for example, Svetlana should be written as Fotinya, and are written in a column: one line - one name.
  5. If the list contains clerics (monks, priests), it is customary to write them first and indicate the rank, it can be in an abbreviated form. Instead of "priest" is written "priest", for example: Jer. Alexia, deacon. Eugene, archbishop Ambrose, Hierom. Nectaria and so on.
  6. It is allowed, but not mandatory, to add worldly "statuses" to the names: neg. (lad), bol. (sick), not idle. (non-idle, pregnant), zabl. (lost), warrior (soldier). But the popular postscript p. B. (God's servant), which is already obvious, is superfluous, it is not necessary to write it at all.
  7. In no case can not indicate the names of animals! Unfortunately, this also happens.
What can I order a thanksgiving prayer for?
For everything that does not contradict the Christian commandments. But in a note, the reason for gratitude does not need to be described in detail.

What is the most important thing in a thanksgiving prayer?

  1. Consciousness, voluntariness and personal presence of those who give thanks at the prayer service. Remember: the healed leper himself came and fell at the feet of the Savior, and did not hope that someone else would do it for him. However, for example, a bedridden person may ask someone to order a thanksgiving service in a church in absentia on his behalf or, in extreme cases, invite a priest to his house for a fee.
  2. Don't be late. Usually thanksgiving prayers are performed after the morning service (liturgy). But since the order of service may differ in different churches, then, when submitting a note in the shop, specify the time of the prayer service.
  3. Do not stand in the service as indifferent "candlesticks" - this is your appeal to God! - listen to the words of the prayers, delve into the meaning, mentally pronounce them together with the priest. If the Church Slavonic language is completely unusual for you, take the trouble to first familiarize yourself with the course and text of the prayer service. Now it is quite possible to do this by turning to the Internet for help.
Be prepared for the fact that thanksgiving prayers will be read along with the rest (petitions, blessings of water, and so on), since a common prayer service is usually served in churches, which combines everything ordered on this day. However, you should not worry: the “quality” of prayer will not suffer from this.

Who can order a thanksgiving service?
So, any person who feels such a need can order a thanksgiving prayer service (unlike the Sacraments).
