The word 'leider' is related to the noun 'das Leid' (pain, sorrow). It expresses that a piece of information is regrettable or 'painful.'

Unfortunately, I can't come tomorrow.
Like many adverbs, 'leider' can stand in different places in a sentence. If it is in position 1, the verb follows directly after it. It can also stand after the verb.
Leider hat es den ganzen Tag geregnet.
Unfortunately, it rained all day.
'Leider' is often used in short answers to express regret, often together with 'ja' (yes) or 'nein' (no).

Are you coming to the movies with us tonight? - Unfortunately not, I don't have time.

'leider' and 'Gott sei Dank' are opposites in many situations. With 'leider', you say that something is bad, unwanted, or disappointing. With 'Gott sei Dank' (thank God), you express relief because something turned out well or something bad did not happen. So this is not about gratitude in the normal sense, but about the fixed expression. Put simply: use 'leider' for bad news, and 'Gott sei Dank' when expressing relief.
