Thanksgiving prayer/ Glory to God for all Things




http://www.stnickbyz.com - The Akathist of Thanksgiving, which is also called Glory to God for All Things, is a treasure left to us by the martyrs of the great persecution of the Russian Church under Soviet Communism. It was found in the personal effects of Father Gregory Petrov who died in the Gulag in 1940. It has been traced back to Metropolitan Tryphon, a prominent spiritual father of the Russian Church at the height of that persecution.
