A Prayer to Bless the Lord
To “bless the Lord” is more than praise—it’s a posture of dependence, trust, and devotion. In our daily prayer and devotional, we ponder Psalm 63, where David declares he will bless God all his days. He opens his hands, lifts his voice, remembers God’s faithfulness, sings praise, and trusts wholeheartedly—even in adversity.
Blessing God begins with acknowledging our need for Him: lifting open hands in surrender, bringing our weaknesses, and asking for His help. It continues by remembering and recounting His goodness—His provision, His creativity, His unchanging character. Every moment of awe, gratitude, worship, and trust is part of blessing Him.
David also models commitment in difficulty. Though threatened by enemies, he remains secure in God’s justice and faithfulness. To bless the Lord is to trust Him when we don’t understand and to live as a testimony to His steadfast love—every day, in all circumstances.
Today's Bible Reading:
“I will bless you as long as I live, lifting up my hands to you in prayer.”
— Psalm 63:4
