What to give thanks for

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

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.

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

It is necessary to be personally present when a cleric performs a prayer service and prayerfully work together with him and other parishioners.
If a person is seriously ill, then one of his relatives or acquaintances may be present at the prayer service on his behalf.
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.
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.

People often use such a prayer in churches for healing from illnesses, as well as when things are completed successfully. Such prayer is also important for life in general - as a key to happiness. It is pronounced in the morning - in the prayer rule, in the evening - after the end of all affairs, or during the day - when it is convenient. Such a ritual, firmly established in everyday life, will not only teach a sense of gratitude, but will also help in any business.

When are prayers of thanksgiving needed?

Thanksgiving prayers are read in the following situations:

when a person received help from God, Jesus Christ, the Mother of God or saints through prayer;
after the successful completion of cases;
for healing from illness;
at the end of the day (as a thank you for all that was given);
by Holy Communion;
when the saints or God gave help to the relatives or neighbors of the praying person;
when you need to fill your life with prosperity and happiness;
when you just want to thank God for everything.

Thanksgiving prayers can be a good start to the working day: they will set you in a positive mood and on a wave of well-being energy.

To the Lord God

As the clergy say, you need to thank the Almighty for everything: for both good and bad: sometimes what seems like failure or grief can be a valuable lesson for the soul. Gratitude is needed for the most part not to God, but to the one who prays. By developing and strengthening the feeling of gratitude, a person becomes stronger, kinder and happier.

When someone raises a prayer of thanksgiving to God, the Lord repays him in full. After a while, a person becomes a magnet for happiness.

The text of thanksgiving prayers to the Lord God for help:

You can also use the usual verbal thanksgiving in Russian - this is not forbidden. The only thing to consider is that Orthodox prayers in the church language are always much stronger, as they are composed according to special rules.

The strongest option for expressing gratitude to God for everything will be reading the thanksgiving akathist "Glory to God for everything" (its text can be easily found on the Internet). They read it at the icon of the Lord Almighty, standing on their feet or kneeling. This akathist is one of the best means to help a person in negative states, when there are claims to everyone around or strength is simply needed.

You can also express gratitude to God by offering alms to the needy or tithes to the temple.

To different saints

With gratitude, they turn to those saints from whom help has been received in some matter. Each of the Orthodox saints has their own thanksgiving prayers (you can find them in the Orthodox prayer book). But appeals to Nicholas the Wonderworker, who is very revered by believers, are especially popular:

Prayers from corruption, evil eye and witchcraft to Cyprian and Ustinya - short and full versions

To the guardian angel

Angelic thanksgiving prayers are just as important as prayers to God and the saints. A guardian angel is a helper and protector for a person, so it is important that people know how to keep in touch with him and express gratitude for the support provided to him. A prayer of thanksgiving is a kind of bridge of love between a living person and her guardian angel. The bridge grows stronger with each day of practice of such prayer. It can be added to both evening and morning prayer rules.

The text of thanksgiving prayers to the guardian angel for every day:

Before reading, you need to mentally concentrate on the feeling of gratitude and love directed to the guardian angel. After expressing gratitude, mood and life in general begin to improve. The feeling of warmth or just comfort that appears after a prayer ritual is a sign that a person has been heard.

To the Mother of God

In the Orthodox Church, Mother of God has always had a special relationship. She gladly helps all those who pray to her: she gets rid of diseases, directs on the true path, protects from enemies, etc.

But a prayer of thanksgiving is read to her not only for this, but also for the fact that she brought the Savior into the world with her vow. A special prayer will help to thank the saint and establish a connection with the source of the female energy of love:

To Jesus Christ

To Jesus Christ, as to the savior and redeemer of the world, a prayer of thanksgiving is read after getting rid of illnesses, anxieties, disasters, when life is getting better and a person finds his bright path. In a broader sense, a thankful appeal to Jesus Christ will help to establish and strengthen the connection with the source of male creative energy.

How to read thanksgiving prayers?

It is best to read words of gratitude in a temple or in a holy place. In such places, the effect of prayers is enhanced, which is why words reach God much faster. The procedure for the correct reading of the prayer of gratitude:

1. Buy a candle.
2. Put it near the icon.
3. Say a prayer appeal to the Mother of God, Jesus Christ or another saint from whom help was received.
4. At the end, bow.

At home, for a better immersion in prayer, before reading, they light a lamp or a candle, smoke incense. TV, radio, cell phones and other sources of noise are turned off or removed from the room. In such an atmosphere, it is easier to tune in to a prayer service and clear thoughts of mental debris. During a solitary prayer service, the inner gaze is directed to the heart, and the sensations tune in to the warmth of love. After the end, you should try to maintain a state of gratitude until the end of the day.

When reading thanksgiving addresses, you need to remember that sincerity and honesty of intentions are of great importance. Words coming from the heart will be heard with love and awareness. If gratitude is difficult to feel before starting the conversion, then you should just read the prayers regularly: then they will set the person up for this feeling. In the future, the feeling of gratitude will become bright and natural.

Ministers of the church, who have a spiritual dignity, are advised to give thanks to God and the holy forces every morning and every evening. It is not necessary to do this with long prayers, you can simply say from the heart and soul: "Thank you, Lord, that there is bread on the table! Thank you for shelter, clothes and loving relatives." You can mentally thank everyone around you. Just a few minutes spent in gratitude can fill your life with meaning and well-being.

Amen."

What to give thanks for

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

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.

Advice! In addition to prayer, thanksgiving can be expressed by offering alms to poor people, tithes to the temple.

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 the candle shop with the name 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.

Rules of conduct during prayer

It is necessary to be personally present when a cleric performs a prayer service and prayerfully work together with him and other parishioners.
If a person is seriously ill, then one of his relatives or acquaintances may be present at the prayer service on his behalf.
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.
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.

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. Don't worry, quality; 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.

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.

How often our spiritual life is an unceasing list of requests from God, even if of the highest order, but in a sense with a consumerist attitude! It is as if we are trying to make God our debtor and do not notice how many favors the Lord has already shown us and that we are indebted to Him.

He wrote a lot about the feat of prayer, among the various types of smart doing, he singles out precisely: “Thanks to God is part of smart… doing and consists in thanksgiving and glorification of God for everything that happens - both pleasant and mournful.” Even the sorrow sent down from God, since it has in mind some kind of spiritual benefit of a person, deserves thanksgiving.

This work is commanded by the Lord Himself through the apostle: “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you” (1 Thess. 5:18); "Be persistent in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving" (Col. 4:2).

“What does thanksgiving mean? This is the glorification of God for His countless blessings poured out on all of humanity and on every person. Such thanksgiving introduces a wonderful calmness into the soul; joy is introduced, despite the fact that sorrows are everywhere, a living faith is introduced, because of which a person rejects all worries about himself, tramples on the fear of man and demons, plunges himself entirely into the will of God.

As St. Ignatius explains, the Lord “commanded us to carefully exercise in giving thanks to Him, to cultivate in ourselves a feeling of gratitude to God.” It must be precisely a feeling, a special inner disposition of the soul, created by doing thanksgiving. It is this feeling of uncomplaining gratitude to God for everything that is an excellent preparation for prayer, because it teaches us to relate to God in a proper way. The feeling of thanksgiving enlivens prayer itself. The saint recalls the words of Scripture: “Rejoice always in the Lord; and again I say: rejoice... The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but always in prayer and petition with thanksgiving, open your desires to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:4-7).

tantamount to disbelief. The ungrateful one does not see the paths of salvation to which the Lord leads man. It seems to him that everything that happens to him is meaningless and accidental. On the contrary, from thanksgiving and glorification of God, especially in sorrows and sufferings, a living faith is born, and from a living faith, quiet but powerful patience in Christ. Where Christ is felt, there is His consolation. .

The saint explains that true thanksgiving is born not from self-satisfaction, but from the vision of one's own infirmities and the vision of God's mercies to a fallen creature. Thanking God out of contentment with one's own life, as we learn from the parable of the publican and the Pharisee, can mean deep spiritual vanity, blinding by temporary comfort. As a matter of fact, the diseases themselves, which God allows us to do, can be properly borne only with thanksgiving to God for them. And thanksgiving to the Lord is the only weapon capable of conquering any sorrow, any bitterness. “Wonderful comes to the righteous in the midst of their calamities the thought of giving thanks to God. It tears their hearts out of sorrow and darkness, elevates them to God, to the realm of light and consolation. God always saves those who run to Him with simplicity and faith.

“If your heart does not have thanksgiving, then force yourself to give thanks; with it, peace will enter the soul.

But what if there are no such grateful feelings in the soul, if the soul is fettered by cold and insensibility? “If your heart does not have thanksgiving, then force yourself to give thanks; with it peace will enter the soul. Here is how the saint describes such doing in the Ascetic Experiences: “Repeated words "Thank God for everything" or "Let the will of God be done" work satisfactorily against very complex grief. Strange affair! sometimes all the strength of the soul will be lost from the strong action of grief; the soul, as it were, becomes deaf, loses the ability to feel anything: at this time I will begin aloud, forcibly and mechanically, in one language, to say: “Glory to God,” and the soul, having heard the praise of God, to this praise, as it were, begins little by little to come to life, then cheer up, calm down and be comforted.”

In one of his letters, St. Ignatius offers the following advice to a person experiencing severe illness and sorrow: “I am writing to you because you are in a painful state. I know from experience the difficulty of this position. The body is deprived of strength and ability; together the strengths and abilities of the soul are taken away; the disorder of the nerves is communicated to the spirit, because the soul is connected with the body by an incomprehensible and closest union, due to which soul and body cannot but influence each other. I am sending you a spiritual recipe, by which I advise you to use the proposed medicine several times a day, especially in moments of increased suffering, both spiritual and bodily. When used, the manifestation of strength and healing will not slow down ... When you are alone, say slowly, aloud to yourself, enclosing your mind in words (as St. John of the Ladder advises) the following: “Glory to Thee, our God, for the sorrow sent; worthy according to my deeds I will accept: remember me in Thy Kingdom”… You will begin to feel that peace enters your soul and destroys the embarrassment and bewilderment that tormented it. The reason for this is clear: the grace and power of God lies in the glorification of God, and not in eloquence and verbosity. Doxology and thanksgiving are the works taught to us by God Himself - by no means a human invention. The apostle commands this work in the presence of God (1 Thess. 5:16).

Giving thanks to the Lord, a Christian acquires a priceless treasure - grace-filled joy that fills his heart and in the light of which the events of life are perceived in a completely different way. Instead of despondency, the soul is filled with joy, and instead of sadness and grief - and consolation.

"Evil thoughts defile, destroy a person - holy thoughts sanctify, give life to him"

“Let us cultivate the invisible feat of thanksgiving to God. This feat will remind us of the God we have forgotten; this feat will reveal to us the greatness of God hidden from us, will reveal His inexpressible and incalculable good deeds to people in general and to each person in particular; this feat will plant in us a living faith in God; this feat will give us God, Whom we do not have, Whom our coldness towards Him, our inattention has taken away from us. Evil thoughts defile, destroy a person - holy thoughts sanctify, give life to him.
