Do you love to bless the Lord; to warm His heart in worship? If so, then today’s list of 31 ways to bless the Lord is going to help you go even deeper in your worship, praise, warfare, and even just simply in your prayer life!
I love to bless the Lord; don’t you?
I adore my Daddy, my Heavenly Father, my Abba so much–and our Lord Jesus Christ, as well as His precious Holy Spirit. I love to pour my heart out upon Him in worship, praise, prayer, proclamation, and just extolling the Lord. I just love to bless the Lord; I want to warm His heart with my love, devotion, loyalty, and adoration! I believe we all do. 🙂
For years, I have been fascinated by the Scriptures that say, “Blessed be the Lord, who ….”
My fascination started when I read Psalm 124:6 one day, shortly after giving my life to Christ. This verse says:

“Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth” (Psalm 124:6).
When I read that, I was struck by it because I thought, “What a fabulous vocabulary phrase! I could use that over and over!” That verse sums up so much of my personal story; it really describes a lot of what God has done in my life.

And when I read that verse many years ago, Holy Spirit just made that verse leap off the page into my spirit, and it made me catch my breath in wonder. “Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us as prey to their teeth!” Wow! Hallelujah! Amen!
Well, when I realized that the phrase “Blessed be the Lord” is repeated over and over in the Bible, I thought it would be really fun to dig out a list of ALL the verses in the Bible that say that particular thing: “Blessed be the Lord.” I wanted to use a list like that in worship and prayer, simply to bless the Lord and shower my adoration and affection on Him.
Well, that was many years ago. And you know what? I never did make that list of ways to bless the Lord until now.
It has been on my mind all this time, and just recently, after I wrote this list of 180 Ways to Extol the Lord (with free printable guide), I knew it was time to take it on. Lists of prayers, confessions, promises, praises, and verses like this are spiritual meat. When I make lists like this and study them, I feel like I’m eating a great, big spiritual steak.
Related: If you need more spiritual steak, read my free series on 17 benefits of wisdom here. It’s MEATY; the Lord bowled me over with the richness of it while writing it.
So today, I want to share my list with you of 31 Ways to Bless the Lord.
Of course, these are not the only ways to bless the Lord! You can always use your own vocabulary. But these 31 ways are specifically tied to the verses in Scripture that use the key phrase, “Blessed be the Lord.”
There are thousands of other blessings and praises unto the Lord in the Scriptures, but I made this list specifically because I am fascinated and gripped by that particular phrase. “Blessed be the Lord!”
How should you use this list of 31 ways to bless the Lord?
This list of 31 ways to bless the Lord can be used as a prayer tool; a praise tool; or a tool in worship. Also:
- You could write these blessings unto the Lord in your journal over and over.
- You can and should speak them out verbally.
- You can pray them back to the Lord, and you can memorize them so that they just flow out of you as worship to the Lord whenever you need vocabulary for your worship!
Memorizing Scriptural vocabulary (like these 31 ways to bless the Lord) will make you a powerful pray-er. 🙂
A lot of people struggle with feeling like their prayers aren’t very authoritative (another story for another day), but all prayers instantly become powerful and authoritative if you simply pray the Word of God back to Him.

When you memorize words, verses, and phrases from God’s own Word, hiding them in your heart so you might not sin against Him, then you give yourself the tools that your body, soul, and spirit can then use to lift high praise back to God.
I am going to try to memorize all of these ways to bless the Lord, and I encourage you to give it a try also! Just say them often in your praises and prayers to the Lord, and the memorization will come automatically with repetition. 🙂
Without further ado, here are 31 ways to bless the Lord:
(And these are not all direct quotes. Some of them are turned into confessions or prayer-type sentences, based on the context of the verse I cited at the end of each blessing.)

Thank you for sharing your blessings. I like to write prayer blessings to read out loud every morning. Here’s one:
Blessed are you, O Lord our God, robed with honour and majesty, dressed in a robe of light. You make
the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind. The winds are your messengers; flames of
fire are your servants. We give you praise for Jesus our King, whom we declare to be God’s messenger
and High Priest. Messiah was faithful to God, who appointed him, just as Moses served faithfully when
he was entrusted with God’s entire house. And Jesus as the Son, is in charge of God’s entire house.
Lord we run to you for refuge as we hold to the hope that lies before us. A hope that leads us through
the curtain into God’s inner sanctuary, where our Messiah Jesus has already gone for us. He has
become our eternal High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.
(Psalm 104) (Hebrews 3
