Blessings – Day 5
August 18, 2017
Action: Ask God to bless your enemies, people you’re envious of, people you’re angry with, people you’re concerned about, people you love. Use their names when you say the blessing. Ask God to bless each person’s health, finances, all areas of his or her life. Ask God to pour down blessings on that person. Say it until you mean it, until you feel the blessing in your heart.
If you’re praying for someone you resent, say the blessing each time that person’s name pops into your mind. Whenever a friend or a loved one comes to mind, say a special blessing for that person too. In your prayer time, take a moment to ask God to bless you.
Whenever you start a project, your day at work, a meeting, or even a night of fun with friends, you can say a silent little prayer asking God to bless that too. Ask God to bless the people you’re giving to and serving. While you’re at it, ask God to bless our country and the world.
