is there a prayer through which u can thank God?

Question

i realised that most people only ask God for help but often (some) forget to thank him. is there a prayer for this purpose?

Answer 1

Yup; the one that comes from your heart.

Answer 2

Every prayer should be for that purpose. I think you misunderstand what a prayer is. Prayer is not ment to be a repeated, predetermined set of words but rather comunication between you and your Father in Heaven. I sugest you use this outline. First. Address your Father/God. Second. Thank him for all that he has done. If that is your only purpose skip to number 4. Third. Ask him for his guidence. 4 Close in the Name of Christ.

If you follow this outline and insert your own words you will discover that your father in heaven has a personal interest in you. You are litteraly a daughter of God.

God bless.

Answer 3

2nd has a good answer, it is just a little short. God already knows you are thanking him, he can see into your heart. He even knows Chaos's despair and loves him. If it would make you feel like you honored God more by reciting a prayer, then look in the book of Psalm's. It can be confusing, but it is all about praising and thanking God.

Answer 4

Prayer doesn't need to be recited it should be from the heart but your point is good.

Phillipians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Answer 5

Yes but the bible says to say heart felt prayer.
So you could begin some thing like this;
Father in the Heavens, Jehovah, May I approach you at this time ( and then say what is in your heart) And then you can end the prayer some thing like this: I pray all these things to you most gracious Father Jehovah through your son and our Savior Jesus Christ ,Amen.

Answer 6

Lectio Divina is Latin for “spiritual reading” and represents an early monastic technique of prayer which continues in practice though less widely, intended to achieve communion with God as well as providing special spiritual insights and peace from that experience. It is a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to study, ponder, listen and, finally, pray from God's Word.

History
Lectio Divina was first expressed in the year 220 AD. It was found that to read the Bible profitably it is necessary to do so with attention, consistency and prayer. The systematization of “spiritual reading” into four steps dates back to the 12th century. Around 1150, Guigo II, a Carthusian monk, wrote a book entitled “The Monk’s Ladder” (Scala Claustralium) wherein he set out the theory of the four rungs: reading, meditation, prayer and contemplation. In 2005, Pope Benedict XVI stated, “This is the ladder by which the monks ascend from earth to heaven.”

Method
Lectio is typically practiced daily for one continuous hour. A selection from the Holy Scriptures is chosen ahead of time, often as a daily progression through a particular book of the Bible.

Time
Selecting a time for lectio divina is important. Typical methods are to pray for one hour in the morning, or to divide it into two half-hour periods, one in the morning and one in the evening. The key is to pre-select the time that will be devoted to the prayer, and to keep it. Using the same time every day leads to a daily habit of prayer that becomes highly effective.

Place
The place for prayer is to be free from distractions. This means it should be isolated from other people, telephones, visual distractions, etc. Some find a religious icon to be helpful. The same place should be used for lectio if possible, especially as one first begins to practice it. Familiarity with a location reduces the possibility of distraction away from the prayer. Some practitioners conduct other devotions, such as praying before the Catholic Eucharist, as a preparation for Lectio Divina.

Preparation
Prior to reading, it is important to engage in a transitional activity that takes one from the normal state of mind to a more contemplative and prayerful state. A few moments of deep, regular breathing and a short prayer inviting the Holy Spirit to guide the prayer time helps to set the tone and improve the effectiveness of the lectio.

Once the stage is set it is time to begin the prayer. There are four phases of the prayer, which do not necessarily progress in an ordered fashion. One may move between different phases of the prayer very freely as the Spirit guides.

The Four Moments
Lectio
Read the passage several times.

Meditatio
Reflect on the text of the passage, thinking about how to apply to one's own life. Gravitate to any particular phrase or word that seems to be of particular import. This should not be confused with exegesis, but is a very personal reading of the Scripture and application to one's own life.

Oratio
Respond to the passage by opening the heart to God. This is not primarily an intellectual exercise, but more of the beginning of a conversation with God.

Contemplatio
Listen to God. This is a freeing oneself from one's own thoughts, both mundane and holy. It is about hearing God talk to us. Opening our mind, heart and soul to the influence of God. Any conversation must allow for both sides to communicate, and this most unfamiliar act is allowing oneself to be open to hearing God speak.

Answer 7

You just say what in your Heart. You not need to quote something, that not getting personal. Read Philippians 4:4-7. It give you the concept, but, not the prayer.

Answer 8

Just be grateful and thank Him for everything all the time. The best thing is to always Glorify His name tha is His favorite thing. Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare
This is saying Oh Supreme God Krishna Oh Energy Of the Lord Hare Of giver of all pleasure Rama Kindly engage me in your loving devotional service. OR you can chant the name of your faith. Jehovah, Allah, But this combination of names is like taking the elevator apposed to the stairs. for more infor go to http://www.stephen-knapp.com and also Get Bhagavad-Gita As it is by Bhaktivedanta Prabhupada at http://www.krishnaculture.com

Answer 9

sure there is. You kneel down, and say
Dear God
Thank you
Amen.

Seriously though, you don't need to say set prayers, just talk to him.

Address him
Then tell him how you feel, thank him for everything, TALK TO HIM.
then close in the name of Jesus Christ.

Answer 10

Two hands working do more than a thousand clasped in prayer.
