A prayer of gratitude to the Lord God for help, support, solutions to pressing problems, healing from illnesses - this is the gratitude that every prayer book should offer to the Creator. God is Love, and in addition to faith in Him, you must be able to give thanks.

What to say thanks for

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

There seems to be absolutely nothing to express a grateful feeling of gratitude to Christ for. This happens because people have forgotten how to accept gifts and enjoy them, considering what they receive as something they should have. But each of us receives the richest treasures from God: life, love, friendship, the ability to breathe, think, give birth to children.

It was Heaven that gave us the majestic beauty of nature, rivers and lakes, steppes, mountains, trees, the moon, and heavenly bodies. And if we don’t know how to thank, we don’t receive other gifts.

If you have received what you asked for, thank the Almighty, in your own words, or better yet, in prayers. The human soul is alive as long as faith lives. And it must be supported by prayer appeals.

Advice! In addition to prayer, thanksgiving can be expressed by giving alms to poor people or tithing to the temple.

For every day lived, for the blessings sent down from Heaven, for the health, for the happiness of beloved children - for all the blessings of God, a prayer of gratitude to the Lord God should be heard from the lips of the petitioners.

It is necessary to learn to appreciate what seems self-evident, every little thing - only then will a person understand that absolutely everything in this mortal world happens according to the Will of the Heavenly Father.

It is necessary to offer thanksgiving to Jesus Christ with a pure heart and a bright soul, only then will it reach the Throne of God. And in response to the prayer book they will descend God's blessing and mercy.

We thank Thee, Lord our God, for all Thy good deeds, even from the first age to the present, in us, Thy unworthy servants (names), who were, known and unknown, about those revealed and unmanifested, even those who were in deed and in word: who loved us as and You deigned to give Your Only Begotten Son for us, making us worthy to be worthy of Your love.

Grant with Your word wisdom and with Your fear inhale strength from Your power, and whether we have sinned, whether willingly or unwillingly, forgive and not impute, and keep our soul holy, and present it to Thy Throne, having a clear conscience, and the end is worthy of Thy love for mankind; and remember, O Lord, all who call upon Thy name in truth, remember all who desire good or evil against us: for all are men, and every man is in vain; We also pray to You, Lord, grant us Your great mercy.

Hosanna in the highest, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, Hosanna in the highest. Save me, Who art thou King on high, save me and sanctify me, Source of sanctification; For from You all creation is strengthened, To You countless warriors sing the Trisagion hymn. Unworthy of You, who sits in the unapproachable light, of whom all things are terrified, I pray: enlighten my mind, cleanse my heart, and open my lips, so that I may worthily sing to You: Holy, Holy, Holy art thou, Lord, always, now, and ever and to endless ages of ages. Amen.

Make it worthy to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever; Let us bless You all the days and praise Your name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: may Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we trust in Thee.

Prayers of thanksgiving every day.

Prayer of gratitude to the guardian angel

Prayer of thanksgiving, St. John of Kronstadt, read after healing from illness

Prayers of Thanksgiving by Holy Communion

Thanksgiving for every good deed of God

It is advisable to read prayers of thanksgiving every day. Thank the Lord for every day you live, for the blessings sent down to you, for the great gift of health, for the happiness of your children. For everything you have on this moment, even if, from your point of view, this is not so much.

Saint Gregory the Theologian wrote: “The Lord thirsts to be thirsty, and fills those who want to drink; He accepts it as a good deed if they ask Him for a good deed. He is accessible and generously gives great gifts, giving with greater joy than others accept on their own. Just by not revealing a low soul, asking for what is unimportant and unworthy of the Giver.”

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. We praise Thee, we bless Thee, we praise Thee, we praise Thee, we thank Thee, great for the sake of Thy glory. Lord the King of heaven, God the Father Almighty. Lord, Only Begotten Son Jesus Christ, and Holy Soul. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, take away the sins of the world, accept our prayer. Sit at the right hand of the Father, have mercy on us. For you are the only Holy One, You are the only Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.

I will bless You every day, and I will praise Your name forever and ever.

May Thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we trust in Thee.

Blessed art thou, Lord, teach me by thy justification (this is repeated three times).

Lord, you have been our refuge throughout all generations. Az said: Lord, have mercy on me, heal my soul for those who have sinned against You. Lord, I have come to You, teach me to do Your will, for You are my God, for You are the source of life, in Your light we will see the sowing. Show Your mercy to those who lead You.

Song of the Lord Jesus Christ:

The only begotten Son and the Word of God, immortal, and willing for our salvation to be incarnate from the Holy Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, immutably made man, crucified Christ God, trampling death by death, the only one of the Holy Trinity, glorified to the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.

In Your Kingdom, remember us, O Lord, when You come to Your Kingdom.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for for them is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are those who cry, for they will be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who are hungry and thirsty for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.

Blessed ones are merciful, for they will receive mercy.

Blessed are those who are pure in heart, for they will see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for these shall be called sons of God.

Blessed is the expulsion of truth for the sake of them, for those are the Kingdom of Heaven.

Blessed are you when they revile you, and destroy you, and say all sorts of evil things against you for lying to Me.

Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is abundant in heaven.

The Lord shepherds me and will deprive me of nothing. In a green place, there they settled me, on the calm water they raised me. Convert my soul, guide me on the paths of righteousness, for Your name’s sake. Even if I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me: Your rod and Your club will comfort me. Thou hast prepared a table before me to resist those who are cold against me: Thou hast anointed my head with oil, and Thy cup makes me drunken, like a mighty one. And Thy mercy will marry me all the days of my life, and let us dwell in the house of the Lord for the length of days.

For You are the living bread, the source of holiness, the Giver of good things, and we send up glory to You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer 3, Simeon Metaphrastus

Having given me flesh by Your will, fire and scorch the unworthy, do not scorch me, my Creator; rather, go into my mouth, into all my parts, into my womb, into my heart. The thorns of all my sins fell. Cleanse your soul, sanctify your thoughts. Confirm the compositions with the bones together. Enlighten the simple five of feelings. Fill me with Thy fear. Cover me always, keep me, and save me from every deed and word of the soul. Cleanse and wash and adorn me; Fertilize, enlighten, and enlighten me. Show me Your village of the one Spirit, and not to anyone the village of sin. Yes, like Your house, the entrance of communion, like fire, every evildoer, every passion flees from me. I offer prayer books to You, all the saints, the orders of the disembodied, Your Forerunner, the wise Apostles, and to these Your undefiled, pure Mother, graciously accept their prayers, my Christ, and make Your servant a son of light. For You are the sanctification and the only one of ours, the Good One, of souls and lordship; and like unto You, like God and the Master, we send all glory every day.

May Thy Holy Body, Lord Jesus Christ, our God, be unto me for eternal life, and Thy Honest Blood for the remission of sins: may this thanksgiving be unto me joy, health and gladness; at Thy terrible and second coming, vouchsafe me, a sinner, to the right hand of Thy glory, through the prayers of Thy Most Pure Mother and all the saints.

Prayer 5, to the Most Holy Theotokos

Most Holy Lady Theotokos, light of my darkened soul, hope, protection, refuge, consolation, joy, I thank Thee, for Thou hast vouchsafed me, unworthy, to be a partaker of the Most Pure Body and Honest Blood of Thy Son. But She who gave birth to the true Light, enlighten my intelligent eyes of the heart; You who gave birth to the Source of immortality, revive me, killed by sin; Even the merciful Mother of God, have mercy on me, and give me tenderness and contrition in my heart, and humility in my thoughts, and appeal in the captivity of my thoughts; and grant me, until my last breath, to receive consecration of the most pure Mysteries without condemnation, for the healing of soul and body. And give me tears of repentance and confession, to sing and praise Thee all the days of my life, for Thou art blessed and glorified forever. Amen.

Now do You let Your servant go, O Master, according to Your word, in peace: for my eyes have seen Your salvation, which You have prepared before the face of all people, a light for the revelation of tongues and the glory of Your people Israel.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us (three times).

Most Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Master, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Thy name's sake.

Lord, have mercy (three times).

Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Troparion of St. John Chrysostom, tone 8

With your lips, like the lordship of fire, grace shining forth, enlighten the universe: do not gain the love of money and the treasures of the world, showing us the height of humility, but chastising with your words, Father John Chrysostom, pray to the Word of Christ God to save our souls.

Glory: You have received Divine grace from heaven, and through your lips you have taught us all to worship the one God in the Trinity. All-blessed John Chrysostom, Reverend, we worthily praise you: you are a mentor, as if you are manifesting the Divine.

Troparion to Basil the Great, tone 1:

Thy message went out into the whole earth, as if it had received your word, which thou hast divinely taught, thou hast clarified the nature of beings, thou hast adorned human customs, the royal priesthood, reverend father, pray to Christ God that our souls may be saved.

Glory: You have appeared as an unshakable foundation for the church, giving to all inconspicuous dominion by man, sealing with your commands, the unappearing Reverend Basil.

And now: The intercession of Christians is not shameful, the intercession to the Creator is immutable, do not despise the voices of sinful prayers, but advance, as the Good One, to the aid of us who faithfully call Thee: hasten to prayer, and strive to supplicate, ever interceding, the Mother of God, who honor Thee.

Whom have we received from God above divine grace, O glorious Gregory, and whom we strengthen with strength, who thou hast deigned to walk in the gospel, from whom thou hast most blessedly received from Christ the recompense of labor: pray unto him that he may save our souls.

Glory: You appeared to the Chief to be the shepherd of Christ, the monks of the succession, Father Gregory, instructing the heavenly fence, and from there you taught the flock of Christ with His commandment: now you rejoice with them, and rejoice in the heavenly roofs.

Lord, have mercy (12 times). Slava: And now:

We magnify Thee, the most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison, the Seraphim, who gave birth to God the Word without corruption, the real Mother of God.

Thanksgiving for every good deed of God.

Give thanks to Thy unworthy servants, O Lord, for Thy great good deeds upon us; we glorify Thee, bless, thank Thee, sing and magnify Thy compassion, and slavishly cry out to Thee in love: O our Benefactor, glory to Thee.

As a servant of indecency, having been honored with Your blessings and gifts, Master, we earnestly flow to You, giving thanks according to our strength, and glorifying You as the Benefactor and Creator, we cry out: Glory to You, All-Bountiful God.

Theotokos, Christian Helper, Your servants, having acquired Your intercession, cry out to You in gratitude: Rejoice, Most Pure Virgin Mother of God, and always deliver us from all our troubles with Your prayers, One who will soon intercede.

Song of praise, St. Ambrose, bishop Mediolansky

We praise God to you, we confess the Lord to you, the whole earth magnifies your eternal Father. To You all the angels, to You the heavens and all the powers, to You the unceasing voices of the cherubim and seraphim cry: Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Hosts, the heavens and earth are full of the majesty of Your glory. To you is the glorious apostolic countenance, to you the prophetic number of praise, to you the bright martyr’s army praises, to you throughout the entire universe the Holy Church confesses, the Father of the incomprehensible majesty, the worshiped

Your true and only begotten Son and Holy Comforter Spirit. You are the King of glory, Christ, You are the ever-present Son of the Father: You, having received man for the deliverance, did not disdain the Virgin’s womb. Having overcome the sting of death, you have opened the Kingdom of Heaven to believers. You sit at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father, come and believe in the Judges. We therefore ask you: help your servants, whom you have redeemed with your honest blood. Make it worthy to reign with Your saints in Your eternal glory. Save Thy people, O Lord, and bless Thy inheritance, I will correct and exalt them forever: we will bless Thee all the days, and we will praise Thy name forever and ever. Grant, Lord, that on this day we may be preserved without sin. Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us: may Thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we trust in Thee: in Thee, O Lord, do we trust, that we may not be ashamed forever. Amen.

Secret prayers to thank God.

Prayers of thanksgiving are words directed 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 have passed, he takes it for granted.

And in moments when adversity and troubles overcome, many ask heaven why they have such trials. This is how a person is designed that he takes all good things for granted, but as for adversity, they are considered something undeserved. A believer will call grace and happiness the mercy of God, and problems and troubles - retribution for sins. He will thank the Lord for peace and happiness and pray to prevent retribution for sins.

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

Virgin Mary is the Most Holy Theotokos who gave birth to the savior Jesus Christ. The Gospel contains very little information regarding the Mother of God. Betrothed to Elder Joseph, at the age of fourteen she made a vow of devotion to God. Her husband Joseph took care of her and provided her with everything she needed. They lived in Nazareth, where 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 fair half of humanity often ask her about a child, marriage, happiness in family life. In general, any women's problems are addressed to the Mother of God, to whom words should be read not only with requests, but also with thanksgiving. After a woman asks her for what she dreams of, you need to read words of gratitude. In addition, these same words should be repeated when everything the woman dreamed of comes true.

Here is one example words of gratitude To the Most Holy Theotokos.

“To the Mother of God, Mother of God, I direct my song, I glorify and thank the Virgin Mary! All Angels and Archangels serve and worship You, all authorities and rulers obey You. Glory to Your belly, glory to Your greatness! You gave the world a human Savior, You gave everyone a chance to live and exist! You protect all women and mothers, You endow them with strength and fortitude! You helped me in my life, for which my gratitude is limitless! I am destined to glorify Your name and trust in the mercy of the Lord! For all that I have, I thank You, worldly, I bow to You. In this song I’m not asking for help, but I’m paying tribute, thanking you for peace! I pray for the sins of my family and for 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 precisely for 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 first were never human, they are divine, incorporeal and immortal. As for the Saints, they are the righteous who have ever lived on earth. The angel, at his own discretion, decides how and when to help a person, or not to help.

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

Angels often save people in situations where it would seem that 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 daily help, 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 read several times a month, ideally every week. Before reading the magic words, you need to clear your thoughts and mind of any negative thoughts and unpleasant feelings.

Nikolai Ugodnik or, as he is also called, Nikolai the Wonderworker is considered a very important figure; many prayers and petitions of people are addressed to him. From childhood, he chose for himself the path of serving the Lord, 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 lives of those who ask. But here, too, you shouldn’t just ask for something, but also give thanks for what has already happened or will happen in the future.

This prayer is read twelve times before lunch:

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

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

Prayer to Jesus Christ.

This text It is best to repeat several times a month once. A prayer is said at dawn.

“Thy Holy Body, Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Our God, may our thoughts be filled with it, our thoughts be full! Your Honest Blood will help us in atonement 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 text of gratitude is read only once, but it should be pronounced with feeling and arrangement. It is best to learn the prayer by heart rather than read it from a piece of paper. In any case, before using it, it is recommended to repeat the words several times so that when you read, you do not stumble, but speak from your heart.

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

Prayers come in many different forms and must come from the heart. If you hold grudges or hatred, then it is best not to read prayers, since in such a state they will not make sense. If you are ready to express your gratitude to the Saints, the Lord, and the Angels, then it is not at all necessary to use previously learned words. You can come up with your own prayer. To do this, it’s enough to retire for a while and write on a blank white piece of paper 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 gratitude, to say everything that you are thinking about, for which you are grateful. Such words must come from the heart, and gratitude must be pure and sincere. It is best to read words in the first half of the day. It is not recommended to read such prayers at sunset, in the evening or at night.

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

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

Prayers of thanksgiving are most often read in the first half of the day. Remember, they should be used not only after you have asked for something, but also for prevention. Especially when everything is good!

There is a story about a Protestant pastor who, while visiting the sick, entered a hospital for the mentally ill. Here one of the patients, who apparently had a moment of mental enlightenment, approached the shepherd and asked him: “Have you ever thanked God for your sanity?” The shepherd was dumbfounded by such an unexpected question. No, it never occurred to him to thank God for such an obvious gift. Only here in the hospital, seeing so many unfortunate mentally ill people around him, did he realize that reason is God’s great gift! The shepherd immediately promised the sick man and himself that he would thank God daily for his sound mind.

E that incident from the life of a shepherd characterizes common feature human relationship to the blessings of life, due to which people are accustomed to accept everything, as a matter of course. It is rare that any person thanks his Creator, who constantly takes care of him and sends him countless material and spiritual benefits.

“Wherever I look with the eyes of my heart,” the saint writes, “whether inside or outside myself, everywhere I see a strong reason for thanksgiving and glorification of the Lord!”

D Indeed, our whole life is an unbroken chain of God’s blessings! He created our body, which is better and more perfect than any mechanism or computer. He breathed into us this immortal, god-like soul, which animates our mortal body, and which is more precious and dear to us than anything else. He gave us intelligence, which elevates us above animals; – free will, thanks to which we can improve physically and spiritually and direct our lives towards good; – feelings capable of enjoying the gifts of God’s goodness, finding happiness and joy in life.

Although we do not see God with our eyes, we know that He constantly cares for our welfare more than the most loving mother. He commands the sun to shine over us, which illuminates and warms, cheers and revives us. He does us good by sending rain and fertility, filling us with food and gladdening our hearts. He commanded the earth to produce various fruits with which our body feeds and lives, and makes animals serve us. Thus, according to His will, mountains and valleys, seas and rivers, trees and stones, birds and fish, earth and air - everything serves our benefit and pleasure. His divine power sustains, continues and preserves our lives in the midst of everything hostile and dangerous in the world. In a word, “In Him we live and move and have our being.” Every moment of our life is a gift of His infinite goodness, every breath of our chest is a sign of His fatherly favor, every beat of our heart is a work of His highest love and mercy.

N this is not enough! When breaking the commandments God's people exposed themselves to all sorts of disasters, became obscene before God, unworthy of life and blessedness, God the Father did not leave them to die. On the contrary, because of His infinite love, He “He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.”().

E heterogeneous God's Son, taking pity on us prodigal children, came into our world and took on our mortal nature. He “He humbled Himself, taking on the form of a servant, becoming in the likeness of men, and becoming in appearance like a man, and humbled Himself, being obedient even to death, even death on the cross.”(). He taught us to live righteously and showed us the path to the Kingdom of Heaven. He took upon Himself the sins of the human race, for our sake endured humiliation, spitting, slaps, beatings, suffering on the cross and shame with evildoers, shed His blood for us and laid down His soul for us, “in order to destroy the power of him who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and to deliver those who, from the fear of death, were subject to slavery all their lives.”().

Consubstantial with the Father and the Son - Holy Spirit, for the sake of the atoning sacrifice of the God-man, descends on us, cleanses our conscience from sinful deeds, revives and sanctifies our nature, gives us His divine power necessary for a righteous life and makes us children of God.

P In all this, we often forget God and upset His mercy with our stubbornness, stupidity, and malice! But the Lord not only does not destroy, but continues to forgive and have mercy on us, patiently waiting for our correction. Despite our frequent falls, He, with great care and wisdom, leads our lives to salvation, to endless joy in the heavenly abodes. Few people think about how many obstacles they create for God in the work of their salvation!

WITH V. John of Kronstadt shares his experience, which is familiar to many believers: “How many times death entered my heart, then passing to my body (there is no number), and the Lord delivered me from all deaths!” The feeling of the flow of mercies from God evoked the following inspired words from the psalmist:

“Bless, my soul, the Lord and everything within me - His holy name! Bless the Lord, my soul, and do not forget all His benefits: He forgives all your iniquities, heals all your ailments, delivers your life from the grave, surrounds you with mercy and bounty, fulfills your good desires, your youth will be renewed like an eagle’s. The Lord shows mercy and truth to all those who are offended... The Lord is generous and merciful, long-suffering and abounding in mercy” (Psalm 102).

In moments of trial, many become discouraged and grumble. But we must understand that the Lord sometimes allows troubles and sorrows to happen to us, not because He has forgotten us or wants to punish us. No! He admits them like bitter things, but necessary medicine, healing us from pride, frivolity, arrogance, self-love and other shortcomings. Realizing this, the great Saint John Chrysostom said at the end of his days: “Glory to God for everything, and especially for the sorrows!”

N We, Orthodox Christians, must especially thank God for deigning us to be children of His true Church, which, by the power of the Holy Spirit, contains pure Gospel teaching, which sanctifies and strengthens us with its grace-filled sacraments. This is the one to which belonged the Prophets, Apostles, martyrs and all the saints who are in the heavenly abodes and at the same time form with us, their younger brothers, one great family of God. This is the Church in which we are honored with the communion of the life-giving Body and Blood of our Savior, which gives us immortality.

AND So, when we delve into the ways of God's providence in our lives, we see that it is not so much duty and obligation, but our whole being, our whole life in the present and in the future, that requires us not to remain insensitive to the benefits of God! To this we must add that our gratitude is not needed by God, but by ourselves. When we thank God, we remember His love for us, His constant care at about us and the sea of material and spiritual benefits that He pours out on us daily. This is a memory clarifies our intelligence, gives us the opportunity to clearly understand, what is the purpose of our life helps us weed out the unimportant from the main.

TO In addition, gratitude to God dispels despondency, removes sadness, returns to us vivacity and cheerfulness. Gratitude to God can be likened to warm rays of sunlight penetrating the dark cellar of the soul. From contact with the Spiritual Sun the soul warms up, a person becomes kinder and ready for love.

B Let us try every day and, especially, Sundays, thank your Creator and Savior - this will serve as an excellent medicine for our soul!

Fire and purple, gold and azure prophetically speak of the indescribable beauty of Your villages, they solemnly call: let's go to the Father! Glory to Thee in the quiet hour of the evening;

Glory to You, who has poured out great peace into the world; Glory to Thee for the farewell ray of the setting sun; Glory to Thee for the rest of blessed sleep; Glory to Thee for Thy goodness in the darkness, when the whole world is far away; Glory to Thee for the tender prayers of a touched soul. Glory to Thee for the promised awakening to the joy of the eternal non-evening day; Glory to You, God, forever!

How great and close You are in the powerful movement of a thunderstorm, How Your mighty hand is visible in the bends of dazzling lightning, Your greatness is wondrous. The voice of the Lord over the fields and in the noise of the forests, the voice of the Lord in the birth of thunder and rain, the voice of the Lord over many waters. Praise be to You in the roar of the fire-breathing mountains. You shake the earth like a garment. You raise the waves of the sea to the sky. Praise be to the one who humbles human pride, who emits a cry of repentance: Hallelujah!

Like lightning, when it illuminates the halls of the feast, then after it the lights of the lamps seem pitiful, so You suddenly shone in my soul during the most intense joys of life. And after Your lightning light, how colorless, dark, and ghostly they seemed. My soul was chasing you. Glory to You, the edge and limit of the highest human dream!

Glory to Thee for our tireless thirst for communion with God; Glory to Thee, who breathed into the soul an eternal longing for heaven; Glory to Thee, who has clothed us with Thy subtlest rays; Glory to You, who crushes the power of the spirits of darkness, who doomed all evil to destruction; Glory to You for Your revelations, for the happiness of feeling You and living with You; Glory to You, God, forever!

Their deeds involuntarily speak about You: oh, how great You are in your creatures, oh, how great You are in man.

Glory to Thee, who has revealed incomprehensible power in the laws of the universe; Glory to You. All nature is full of the laws of Your existence; Glory to Thee for everything revealed to us through Thy goodness; Glory to Thee for what Thou hast hidden according to Thy wisdom; Glory to Thee for the genius of the human mind; Glory to Thee for the life-giving power of labor; Glory to Thee for the fiery tongues of inspiration; Glory to You, God, forever!

How close You are in days of illness. You Yourself visit the sick, You Yourself bend down at the suffering bed and the heart talks with You. You illuminate the soul with peace during times of severe sorrow and suffering, You send unexpected help. You console, You are testing and saving love, We sing a song to You: Hallelujah!

When I first consciously called upon You as a child, You fulfilled my prayer, and a reverent peace overshadowed my soul. Then I realized that You are good and blessed are those who resort to You. I began to call You again and again, and now I call You.

Glory to You, who fulfills my good desires; Glory to Thee, who watches over me day and night; Glory to Thee, who heals sorrow and loss with the healing passage of time; Glory to You, with You there are no hopeless losses, You give everyone eternal life; Glory to You, You have bestowed immortality on all that is good and lofty, You have promised the desired meeting with the dead; Glory to You, God, forever!

Why does all nature smile mysteriously on holidays? Why then does a wondrous lightness spread in the heart, incomparable to anything earthly, and the very air of the altar and the temple becomes luminous? This is the breath of Your grace, this is the reflection of the Tabor light, when heaven and earth sing in praise: Hallelujah!

When You inspired me to serve my neighbors and illuminated my soul with humility, then one of Your countless rays fell on my heart, and it became luminous, like iron in fire. I saw Your mysterious, elusive Face.

Glory to You, who transforms our lives with deeds of good; Glory to Thee, Who has imprinted unspeakable sweetness in every commandment of Thy; Glory to You, who dwells where mercy is fragrant; Glory to You, who sends us failures and sorrows, so that we are sensitive to the suffering of others; Glory to You, who has placed the great reward in the intrinsic value of good; Glory to You, who accepts the high impulses of our soul; Glory to Thee, who exalted love above all earthly and heavenly things; Glory to You, God, forever!

What is broken into dust cannot be restored, but You restore those whose conscience has decayed, You return their former beauty to souls who have hopelessly lost it. There is nothing irreparable with You. You are all love. You are the Creator and Restorer, We praise You with the song: Hallelujah!

My God, who knows the falling away of the proud angel of the star. Save me by the power of grace, do not let me fall away from You, do not let me forget all Your benefits and gifts, do not let me doubt You. Sharpen my hearing, so that at all moments of my life I hear Your mysterious voice and cry out to You, Omnipresent.

Glory to Thee for the providential coincidence of circumstances; Glory to Thee for the gracious premonitions; Glory to Thee for the instructions of the secret voice; Glory to Thee for revelations in dreams and in reality; Glory to Thee, who destroys our useless plans; Glory to Thee, who through suffering sobers us up from the intoxication of passions; Glory to You, who saves the pride of the heart; Glory to You, God, forever!

Through the icy chain of centuries, I feel the warmth of Your Divine breath, I hear flowing blood. You are already close, the network of time has dissipated. I see Your Cross - it is for me. My spirit is in the dust before the Cross: here is the triumph of love and salvation, here praise never ceases forever: Hallelujah!

Blessed is he who tastes supper in Your Kingdom, but You have already shared this bliss with me on earth. How many times have You extended Your Body and Blood to me with your Divine right hand, and I, a great sinner, accepted this shrine and felt Your love, unspeakable, supernatural.

Glory to Thee for the incomprehensible life-giving power of grace; Glory to You, who has erected Yours as a quiet refuge for the tormented world; Glory to Thee, who revives us with the life-giving waters of baptism; Glory to You, You restore to the repentant the purity of immaculate lilies; Glory to Thee, inexhaustible abyss of forgiveness; Glory to Thee for the Cup of life, for the Bread of everlasting joy; Glory to Thee, who took us to heaven; Glory to You, God, forever!

I have seen many times the reflection of Your glory on the faces of the dead. With what unearthly beauty and joy they shone, how airy and immaterial their features were, it was a triumph of achieved happiness, peace, in silence they called to You. At the hour of my death, enlighten my soul, calling: Hallelujah!

What is my praise before You. I have not heard the singing of cherubs - this is the destiny high souls, but I know how nature praises You. In the winter I contemplated how, in the silence of the moon, the whole earth quietly prayed to You, clothed in a white robe, shining with diamonds of snow. I saw how the rising sun rejoiced in You, and how the choirs of birds thundered in glory. I heard how mysteriously the forest rustles about You, the winds sing, the waters murmur, how the choirs of luminaries preach about You with their harmonious movement in endless space. What is my praise! Nature is obedient to You, but I am not; but while I live, I see Your love, I want to thank, pray and cry out.

Glory to Thee, who showed us the light; Glory to Thee, who loved us with deep, immeasurable, divine love; Glory to Thee, who overshadows us with light, hosts of angels and saints; Glory to Thee, All-Holy Father, Who commanded us Thy Kingdom through the blood of Thy Son; Glory to Thee, Holy Spirit, life-giving sun of the future century; Glory to Thee for everything, O Divine Trinity, all-merciful; Glory to You, God, forever!

Oh, all-good and life-giving Trinity! Accept thanks for all Your mercies and show us worthy of Your benefits, so that, having multiplied the talents entrusted to us, we may enter into the eternal joy of our Lord with victorious praise: Hallelujah!
