Is there a phrase commonly used by the Orthodox to say thank you to God for answered prayer? You know like "Lord Have Mercy" is used to pray for someone sick or in trouble, or "Memory Eternal" is used when someone passes away.
Now, having asked that specifically for my use, it also makes me curious as to what other common phrases such as these there might be in Orthodoxy. Any ideas?

Glory to God!
Glory be to God!
In my church, from what I've heard, the members say "Thank God!" Short and sweet.

Amongst the Greeks, it is common to say "doxa o Theos" (glory to God) or "doxa si o Theos" (glory to you, o God).

Have you ever come across a transliteration of the Great doxology in Greek? We occasionally (very rarely) had them for certain services, but I neglected to thieve (copy and return) them. |

I agree with the others that usually "Glory to God" or something similar is appropriate, but I must confess that there are times that when I see how the LORD has worked through a situation that has been difficult for me, a situation that sometimes involves doubting on my part, that I become a little humbled and overawed, so all I can say at that point is "Thank you."

I am assuming, dangerous I know,  That the first of these is said at Nativity, I would think the second Pascha, and I think I've heard the the third is a common greeting what is the forth, and am I right about the other three? |

In my Greek parish I hear people say "doksa to Theo", which means "glory to God". I also rarely come across people who say "O Theos, eulogitos ei" (o God, blessed are you). I guess in Serbian people say "Hvala Bogu" while thanking God.  |

Well to be honest, they can all be used as a form of greeting, depending on the time of the year (for example, from Pascha until Pentecost everyone greets each other with "Christ is Risen!") Typically when the priest begins a homily in my parish, they will use "glory to Jesus Christ" and we respond...or he will say "Christ is in our midst". I think that during the kiss of peace they will use the latter phrase. I'm no expert, so i welcome correction. |

I was so relieved when I found one of the older hymnals in the shelf thingy of the pew in front of me. Before that, all I could do was stumble through the Doxology and say the few words that I knew. Now, I can sing the whole thing. |
