Most people give thanks to God before asking for mercy, knowing to the fact that you sinned against him. Does God accept such thanksgiving?
Or should one ask for mercy before giving thanks to God. Attach scriptures if possible.

Pastors accept all

NO, when ritualists,yahoo boys and so on go to church for Thanksgiving

Yes

Guy whyyyyyy

What GOD does not Accept According to the Bible is The "Sacrifices of a Sinner"

Proverb 15:8
The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the LORD: but the prayer of the upright is his delight.

Proverb 21:27
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination:

What a Sinner should do is to approach GOD ALMIGHTY on the Basis of Mercy!!

Everybody in the church including pastor is sinner..

God might not accept it spiritually, but pastors grab it with both hands physically.

Thanksgiving and praise are extremely vital/crucial in prayer to the Lord.
Honoring the Supreme Creator is an act of worship in a sense.
However, confession of sin is also vital/crucial in prayer.
Without those three things, there really is no prayer.
If you asking for mercy, it would be appropriate to first acknowledge the sin committed.
I'm assuming mercy in the sense that you are asking for God to not allow something that you (deserve the consequences for) to occur.
Sin has to be dealt with first though...
The Lord knows the sincere and contrite heart.
He loves you deeply....and so deeply that He paid the price for you through His blood...to reconcile you with Him.
If you are struggling with sin, you should first acknowledge the Lord God and thank Him that you have an opportunity to converse with Him.
Honor him....then confess that sin that is troubling your soul. As Christians, we should never feel comfortable committing willful sin.
Ask for victory over that particular sin.
If you are sincere and desire repentance, know that God has heard you and forgiven you.
Don't continue to trample on His grace and mercy.
Just a few of the many verses....

Romans 3:23 (KJV)
1 John 1:9 (KJV)
Psalm 51:10-12 (KJV)
Hebrews 4: 16 (KJV)
Romans 5:8 (KJV)
Psalm 86: 5 (KJV)
1 Timothy 1: 16 (KJV)
2 Samuel 22:26 (KJV)
Daniel 9:9 (KJV)
Ephesians 2:4 (KJV)

P.S.

There is no set or mandatory order as to how to go about asking for mercy or thanking God in one's prayer.
There is a formula that a lot of people use though that may help you:
A. C. T. S.
Adoration of the Lord God
Confession of sin
Thanksgiving of all
Supplication (petitioning God on behalf of one's family, friends, nation, self etc.)

The pastorprenuers accept on behalf of their god.. Even from polithiefcians and ritualits...somebody shout a big hallelujah!!!!!

Too many scams going on
