It is important to read the prayer; this is a general rule for everyone. For those who are sick and cannot stand, you can sit down, but you still need to stand up at certain times.

If you pay attention to the text of the akathist, you can conclude that it is written very beautifully and colorfully. Some words are so vivid and vital that believers cried when reading the sacred text, imagining all the paradise they were saying. It’s not for nothing that they say that an akathist is one of the most powerful requests to the Lord, written in all colors.
History of creation
This work was written after the revolution by Metropolitan Tryphon, whose fate is reminiscent of tales from the Bible. In childhood, while still a baby, the boy became very ill. His mother, Varvara, prayed in the church in the name of the martyr Tryphon. She promised God that her son would become a monk if he survived. Then Princess Naryshkina did not know that he would one day become the author of a gratitude akathist. But she managed to raise her son well enough for him to want to become a monk.
Time passed, the boy Boris grew up and entered Optina Pustyn as a novice. Three years later he was tonsured a monk with the name Tryphon. This is how the Lord received what was promised to Him. Hieromonk Tryphon received higher spiritual education (MDA) and knew several languages. At the end of the 19th century. defended his dissertation on the topic of old age.
Perhaps it seems to someone that writing a gratitude akathist to God is not difficult. Of course this is not true. It is necessary to firmly grasp all the truths of faith, master the literary language, and also have solid prayer experience in order to know how a religious feeling arises, grows and blossoms in the heart. Bishop Tryphon was exactly like that, educated, sensitive, and spiritually experienced. The people trusted him very much, many came for advice.

Patriarch Tikhon himself listened to the bishop’s advice, whether it concerned spiritual care or the fate of the church. After the death of the patriarch, Bishop Tryphon actually became one of the leaders of the Orthodox Church, although formally he was retired.

Glory to Thee for the promised awakening to the joy of the eternal non-evening day; Glory to Thee, O God, forever.

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, but I am not; While I live, I see Your love, I want to thank, pray and cry:
Glory to You, who showed us the Light; Glory to You, 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.

You can also find the text of the akathist Glory to God for everything with all the necessary emphasis, since there are some words in the prayer that must be read correctly. A stressed syllable means a lot, since we sometimes do not understand what we are reading, and we strive to quickly finish the prayer with unfamiliar words and incomprehensible phrases. The emphasis gives the believer not only food for thought during the reading, but also more subtly conveys the meaning of the akathist.
Lives of Russian saints
Every society, like every person, needs a bright spiritual ideal. Society needs it especially urgently in the era of “times of troubles.” What serves us, the Russian people, with this spiritual ideal, the spiritual core, the force that for a whole millennium united Rus' in the face of invasions, unrest, wars and other global cataclysms?
There is no doubt that such a connecting force is Orthodoxy, but not in the form in which it came to Rus' from Byzantium, but in the form in which it acquired on Russian soil, taking into account the national, political and socio-economic characteristics of Ancient Rus'. Byzantine Orthodoxy came to Rus', having already formed a pantheon of Christian saints, for example, such as Nicholas the Wonderworker, John the Baptist and others, deeply revered to this day. By the 11th century, Christianity in Rus' was only taking its first steps and for many ordinary people of that time was not yet a source of faith. After all, in order to recognize the holiness of the alien saints, it was necessary to believe very deeply, to be imbued with the spirit of the Orthodox faith. It’s a completely different matter when before your eyes there is an example in the person of your own, Russian person, sometimes even a commoner, performing holy asceticism. At this point, the most skeptical person about Christianity will come to believe. Thus, by the end of the 11th century, the Russian pantheon of saints began to form, revered to this day on a par with general Christian saints.
Turbulent Russian history has brought forward many bright, extraordinary personalities. Some of them, thanks to their ascetic activity in the field of Orthodoxy, thanks to their righteous life or deeds, as a result of which the name of Russia acquired greatness and respect, were awarded the grateful memory of their descendants and canonized by the Russian Orthodox Church.
What kind of people were these, Russian saints? What was their contribution to history? What were their deeds? The Russian Saints website will answer these and other questions.
How does the akathist Thank God for everything help?
Why is it necessary to constantly thank the Almighty? The fact is that the life of every person is continuously connected with religion. We all believe in something, which means there is one God. It was He who created us, gave us air to breathe, food to live, soul to feel. We not only have to, but have an obligation to thank Him for everything He has done. In general, man is by nature a unique creature who knows how to think, act, love, and talk.
But, believe me, if it weren’t for the Lord God, none of this would have happened. It is important for every believer to experience joy in the soul and harmony as soon as the akathist Glory to God for everything is read. The more the person praying turns to the Almighty with a song of praise, the more confident he will feel, his faith will become much stronger, and God will protect this person throughout his life. It’s not difficult to thank the Higher Powers; you can do this at least once a week or every Sunday service.
The help of this prayer lies in the fact that after reading the akathist, the human body is filled with invisible powerful energy that comes from the Lord. This is not the first time that people feel like they are ready to move mountains after reciting an akathist. Whether this is a miracle or not, let everyone draw their own conclusions. But the fact that this is not just a text, but written energy, praise to the Lord God, a powerful flow of information that fills the entire soul is one hundred percent true.
Always give thanks
There are times when it is very difficult to rejoice, much less give thanks. Severe trials awaited the Christian Church in Russia after the revolution of 1917. Only many decades later was it able to rise from its knees and the revival of churches began. Then it seemed that there was no light and there never would be. It was during this period that the already elderly Metropolitan Tryphon wrote the thanksgiving akathist “Glory to God for everything.”
If you think about the name, a Christian should thank the Lord for literally every event in his life, even if it is unpleasant. Illness, material need, difficult life circumstances, loss of loved ones - all these are lessons from which one or another quality must be learned. Failures are designed to make people more receptive, suffering weans them from passions, reduces pride, and destroys ambitious plans.
Only a truly religious person is able to perceive the surrounding reality in this way. The akathist of gratitude to the Lord should be read not only in joyful times, but especially in times of trial. This is a kind of spiritual testament of a wise bishop, whose life itself was a miracle of gratitude to God. Humility, patience, spiritual joy - these are the fruits of the Spirit that can be gained through prayers.
To believers about the akathist Glory to God for everything
- “If you have succeeded in something, or your soul insists that you don’t need to take on something, it’s all God’s will. It is he who warns us against everything bad and guides us if there is only green light ahead. It is very important to constantly remember God as the best higher intelligence of this world. Despite all our sins, he is merciful, as he forgives absolutely all our deeds.”
- “Our family constantly thanks the Almighty, whether it is food or healing from an illness. My soul becomes calm and so good that words cannot describe it. This song of praise to God is a very necessary thing, especially in those very moments when you want to share your inner happiness with the Lord!”

Reading the akathist does not require much time to pronounce it. This prayer is read only once. This is not a magpie that must be observed every day. The Lord God will be merciful only to those who not only ask for help from Him, but also thank Him for all His deeds, for His will, for instructions, for the open path and for sending the right decisions made.

4 thoughts on “Prayer of the Optina Elders for every day”
I would like to read prayers against the evil eye, damage... I know, there is a prayer to St. Cyprian, but are there other prayers?
I am 51 years old. Since childhood, I have lived in prayer with the word of God with the Most Holy Mother of God. Although we had no church in Kazakhstan at that time. But my parents always believed in the power of God’s prayer. And we are so my best Dad and Mom I was brought up that way. I believe in the power of worship.
Svetlana Galkina Now Puzankova.Germany 01/16/2017
Rika, yes. Look at the prayer to Archangel Michael - in the right field, point 1 of “Useful reading”. It also seems like there is a prayer to Jesus Christ for the evil eye and damage.
I would like that when citing the text of the prayer here, people do not make mistakes, demonstrating ignorance of the basics of the Russian language. Errors distort the meaning. “NOT” and “NOR” have opposite meanings. And further. People do not “come to religion”; believers firmly know that faith, as the Apostle Paul said, “... does not come from us, it is God’s gift.”
PRAYER TO ARCHANGEL MICHAEL
Holy Angel, standing before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, forsake me for my intemperance, do not give room to the evil demon to possess me with the violence of this mortal body. Strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation. To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body, forgive me everything, for I have offended you so greatly all the days of my life: and if I sinned in the last night, cover me this day: and save me from every opposite temptation, yes I will not anger God in any sin, and pray for me to the Lord, that he may strengthen me in his passion, and show me worthy as a servant of his goodness. Amen
Reading the Gospel with the Church
The Holy Church reads the Gospel of Luke. Chapter 21, art. 37–38; chapter 22, art. 1–8.
37. During the day He taught in the temple, and when He went out He spent the night on the mount called the Mount of Olives.
38. And all the people came to Him in the temple in the morning to listen to Him.
1. The Feast of Unleavened Bread, called Passover, was approaching.
2. And the chief priests and scribes sought how to destroy Him, because they were afraid of the people.
3. Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot, one of the twelve,
4. And he went and spoke with the chief priests and rulers, how to betray Him to them.
5. They were delighted and agreed to give him money;
6. And he promised, and sought an opportune time to betray Him to them, not in the presence of the people.
7 Now the day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover lamb was to be slain,
8. And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying: Go, prepare us to eat the Passover.
Summary
Before reading the prayer, it is recommended to study its summary. Like other religious works, this akathist has not only a doxological part, but also a narrative one. There is a lot of poetry and lyricism in such prayers.
If all this is completely excluded, then the summary will be dry and even uninformative.
The author decided to carry through the entire work the theme of the beauty of nature and natural phenomena. During the story, he sincerely rejoices at what the Lord has given him. At the same time, he regularly thanks Him for giving him life. In the work, the author develops a feeling of reverence for the Lord. He also bows to the Savior and admires his wisdom. A brief summary of the akathist does not show its breadth and depth, so it is quite difficult to fully penetrate the spirit. To become more familiar with the prayer service, you need to read it thoughtfully at least once.
Preparation for the Sacrament of Holy Baptism

Notes
1 A layman, starting a prayer, makes the sign of the cross with the words:
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Instead of the initial exclamation, the priest says:
Through the prayers of our holy fathers, Lord Jesus Christ our God, have mercy on us.
The same exclamation replaces all priestly exclamations. Everything said during the service by the priest and deacon is omitted.
2 The names of prayers and explanations (written in a different font) are not read aloud.
3 Instead of this prayer, from Easter to the Ascension, the Easter troparion “Christ is Risen” is read three times, and from the Ascension to the day of Holy Pentecost, after the initial exclamation, the Trisagion is immediately read.
4 This prayer, as a rule, is read with the sign of the cross and a bow from the waist. Subsequent prayers up to and including the “Our Father” are read in full where the liturgical books indicate “further the Trisagion” or “further the Trisagion, according to the “Our Father”.
5 Where it is printed in liturgical books: Glory:
should read in full: “Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.”
Where is it printed: And now:
read: “And now, and always, and unto ages of ages.
Amen". Where it is printed: Glory, and now:
- the entire doxology is read in full. The sign “:” indicates that only the first words of the text (usually well-known and often repeated) are given.

Everything that is unknown is terribly interesting! Everything that is interesting is terribly unknown!
Prayer accompanies an Orthodox Christian throughout his life,
after all, in this way he can bring himself at least a little closer to God, cleanse his sins with repentance, and thank the Creator for His daily great mercies.
What prayers should all Orthodox people read every day? Whatever prayer rule you follow, it will always include several basic Christian prayers. First of all, this is the Trisagion (prayer to the Holy Trinity), the Symbol of Faith, Our Father, Virgin Mary, Rejoice, prayer to the Guardian Angel, prayer to your saint.
The daily morning rule of prayer also necessarily includes the remembrance of relatives and friends, living and dead, friends and enemies, those who hate and offend us. In evening prayers every day we thank God for the day we have lived. We ask forgiveness for sins committed intentionally and involuntarily, for the peace and health of loved ones.
Our Father. Like you are in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth;
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, just as we forgive our debtors;
and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one;
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Prayer for remission of sins
From the depths of my soul I cry to you, Lord, on this day. With tears I fall to You and exclaim: be merciful and philanthropic to me, who places my hope only in You! Grant me to avoid Your future wrath, which threatens all the wicked. Destroy my fruitless thoughts with the fire of your Holy Spirit. Do not give me as straw as food to the fire, but gather me like wheat, O my God! Accept the prayer of my unclean lips, my sinless Savior! You are Almighty, deliver me from my iniquities! I rejected Your life-giving commandments, I was tempted by vile vices. I beg You, my Lord, who created me according to Your will and for no reason loved me to such an extent that for my sake You became incarnate and suffered death!
A short daily prayer to the Holy Spirit
Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of Truth. Who art everywhere and fulfill all things, Treasure of good things and life to the Giver, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Blessed One, our souls.
In addition to the main prayers, the daily Orthodox prayer rule may include other prayers.
God! Grant Consolation and send Patience to my rebellious Soul! God!
Grant Purity and Peace to my thoughts and feelings, so that I may accept with meekness everything that You have sent, and the thorns and thorns on my path will become blessed steps in the Ascent to Your Abode, for everything that You send down,
- for My Good! God! Grant me Wisdom and Patience in communicating with Your Children and do not allow the worms of resentment, pride, doubt and condemnation to wear away at my Heart.
Do not allow, O Lord, that my lips should be opened even once to condemn my neighbor! God!
Grant such Strength to my Soul, so that I may love, as You have loved, all those who condemn and offend me.
Grant me such Meekness and Humility that I can kiss every hand that throws a stone at me, and every mouth that blasphemes me, for like little children, they do this out of ignorance.
Grant them, Lord, Forgiveness and Insight! God!
Grant me Wisdom to spend the passing day with Gratitude, and to greet the coming day with Joy. I love You, I praise You, I honor You, Lord!

Prayer Blessing God
The words in the title of this article - "God's Blessing" - can be misunderstood to mean "God's Blessing." This is how the question is most often presented: God blesses a person. And that's true. However, the Holy Scriptures contain repeated calls specifically to man to bless God: “Bless ye, ye nations, our God, and proclaim His praise” (Psalm 66:8); “Bless the Lord, my soul!” (Psalm 103:22); “Bless the Lord this day, all you servants of the Lord, who stand in the house of the Lord during the night” (Psalm 133:1); “My mouth shall utter the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever” (Psalm 145:21).
However, why is God's blessing discussed in the context of prayer? It turns out that in the original Scripture, the word “bless” is the same verb that describes the most common position of the body during prayer: in the Hebrew language, the word berah means both to bless and to kneel!
How is God's blessing accomplished in practice? Here are some examples: “Blessed be the Lord God... Who has not forsaken my master in His mercy and His truth! The Lord brought me by a straight path to the house of my master’s brother” (Genesis 24:27); “Blessed be the name of the Lord from everlasting to everlasting! for with Him is wisdom and power; he changes times and years, deposes kings and installs kings; gives wisdom to the wise and understanding to the understanding; He reveals the deep and hidden things, He knows what is in the darkness, and the light dwells with Him” (Daniel 2:20-22); “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3); “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3).
As we see, to bless God means to describe out loud what He is like and what His actions are in the history of the Earth and in our personal lives. Those who do this are left with a gracious promise: “The Lord from Zion, who made heaven and earth, will bless you” (Psalm 133:3).
