Psalm 72:18-19

Psalm 72:18-19

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
    who alone does wondrous things.
Blessed be his glorious name forever;
    may his glory fill the whole earth.
Amen and Amen.

Seems like a simple verse for the day. A prayer if you will.

We are used to saying things like "God has blessed me" or "I am blessed."

But here, we are telling of God's own blessedness.

We are blessing God.

How does that make you see blessing as an act?

Or as an adjective.

What does naming God as blessed do to you? 

What would your day be like if you began it by blessing God?

How would we see our own blessedness in calling out God's?

Sometimes you may not know what to pray. How to start. Sometimes you may find yourself in a meeting or situation where someone asks you to pray and you feel stuck.

If so, here's perhaps a place to begin. 


Blessed be God and may God's glory fill the whole earth. Amen and Amen.
