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

Key Takeaways


Blessing God is both worship and reliance—lifting hands, confessing need, and giving Him praise.


Remembering God’s past faithfulness helps fuel our trust in the present.


True blessing continues even amid trials, when trust must be chosen over fear.


A life that blesses God acknowledges His sovereignty, expresses gratitude, and pursues obedience.

Let’s Pray Together

God, I desire to bless You for as long as I live. I come with open hands, acknowledging I am nothing apart from You. Help me remember You always—invite You into each moment, cling to Your promises, and trust You wholeheartedly. May my life point others to Your glory. Amen.
