Psalm 66:20 NKJV
“Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!”
Matt Redman’s worship song “Bless the Lord O My Soul” inspires us to pause and reflect on God’s unending mercy and goodness. It’s a heartfelt anthem that calls us to bless His name, just as Psalm 66:20 declares: “Blessed be God, Who has not turned away my prayer, nor His mercy from me!”
We serve a prayer-answering God. While His responses often differ from our expectations, they are rooted in His infinite wisdom. God Himself reminds us in Isaiah 55:8-9 that His thoughts and ways are far above ours. He answers prayers in ways that may seem unusual—turning delays into growth, closed doors into redirection, and trials into testimonies. His answers reflect His perfect plan for our lives.
But how can we bless God in the middle of life’s hustle and bustle? Start your day with gratitude, thanking Him for answered prayers and His ever-present mercy. During a busy workday, take a moment to pray and reflect on His faithfulness. Sing a song of praise while running errands or caring for your family. Blessing God doesn’t require elaborate rituals—it’s about small, meaningful acts of worship and recognition of His goodness.
Today, let’s remember to bless the One who hears us, answers us, and surrounds us with His mercy. Trust in His higher ways and embrace the incredible privilege of serving a prayer-answering God.
