Q1. In what way do our prayers of praise "bless" God? What do we mere humans have that God desires in a blessing? What are prayers like, that don't include blessing God?

God is the fullness and source of all blessings. Our praises doesnt give Him strength but our praises let God know; that we love Him and we our blessed and thankful to be a child of God.

What God desires from us in a blessing is to recognize his glory and strength and that all our help comes from Him.

A prayer that dont bless God is a"I need prayer"I bought two lottery tickets and would appreciate winning any amount. No acknowledgement of our great His mercy is or nothing.

We start praying with praising God.

He wants us to love Him and respect Him for who He is and not only for what He does for us personally.

Without love, we can't have a personal relationship with Him full of trust.

Besides this, we can't obey Him because without love, the slightest effort will be to much for us.

Our prayers of praise "bless" God with our love IF our love comes from the heart, we are giving HIM the GLORY. That is his plan for the whole of mankind, that we give him the glory first by loving him and then one another. So thats what we mere humans can give him in a blessing--- our love.

Blessing, praise and thanks seem to be very closely linked. If we are truly thankful we naturally want to praise ( bless ) our Father for all his wondrous mercy and his abiding presence with us, so a prayer without blessing seems empty of feeling.

In what way do our prayers of praise "bless" God? Our prayers of praise bless God because we acknowledge His Lordship over our lives and over the entire universe and all that is happening around us. Our praises glorify Him and magnify His name. Even when times are bad or not so good, we ahould offer prayers of praise because we recognize He is still sovereign and He will make things right.

What do we mere humans have that God desires in a blessing? We have the aptitude to be grateful and thankful, sincerely. .

What are prayers like, that don't include blessing God? When prayers do not include blessing God, they are selfish and demanding prayers, putting us in the place of God and God is to answer at our every beck and call, which is not right.

Q1. In what way do our prayers of praise "bless" God?

It is like a child thanking his parents for something he received from them. When my son thanks me or says something good about me I feel great and appreciate this. Certainly God who is a personal being feels this why, not just intellectually.

What do we mere humans have that God desires in a blessing?

We have our life, heart, strength, mind, and souls. That is why God commands us to love Him with all our being in Matthew 22:36, 37. He desires this from us. God can create anything, but He wants a willing person to love and to adore Him. Parents can understand this when they have children.

Our prayers bless God because we recognize His graciousness and kindness and generosity. God desires that we humbly recognize our dependence upon Him and this act of humility blesses Him. Prayers without blessings are selfish and ungrateful.

He desires our praises and delights in them -- therefore they bless him because they are what he wants. What could mere humans have that he wants? our authentic and passionate love and praise. He gave us the free choice to turn to him -- or to turn away; and so he is pleased when we have chosen Him. Prayers that do not bless Him fall short of what he hopes for from us.

Which is sad.

Our prayers of praise “bless” God, because we are extolling and worshipping Him in His greatness, glory and splendor. We are recognizing and expressing in worship all of the reasons we glorify, honor, and is thankful to God for His everlasting goodness, grace, mercy, and many blessings.

What do we mere humans have that God desires in a blessing?

As mere humans, we have our whole body, soul, and mind that God desires in a blessing. God wants us to worship and bless Him with our hands, hearts, voices, and to lay ourselves prostrate before a Holy God.

What are prayers like, that don't include blessing God?

Prayers that don’t include blessing God is empty, because they are self seeking, and selfish. A person is only asking and desiring what God can do for them and not thanking and worshipping God for what He has and will do in and through them.

Our Prayers of Praise bless God by extolling and worshipping God in His greatness, glory and splendour. As mere humans, we can only offer our hearts, minds and voices in blessing the Almighty God. Prayers that do not include blessing God lacks the intimate relationship that God desires with us.

Our prayers of praise "bless" God because they reveal our unselfishness and how much we are thankful for what He has done in our lives. He wants to hear our thanksgiving for what He is doing and who He is.

We have what God desires in a blessing because He has already blessed us. He has given us hands and hearts to bless others and bless Him.

Prayers that don't include blessing are powerless and empty. They are selfish prayers that do not remember that God gives us everything we need; therefore, we should bless Him and praise Him every day for as long as we live.

Our prayers bless God when we speak to Him about His wonderful works and just worship Him for who God is. It gives the respect due to God. All things come from God even the sacrifices we give back to him. God is not blessed when we forget to remember who He is and what He has done and move quickly into what you want or need from Him.

In what way do our prayers of praise "bless" God?

 

A great part of Spirit-inspired prayer is praise. We are declaring the wonders of God and His deeds of power.  We are extolling and worshipping God in his greatness, glory, and splendor. We are giving praise, rejoicing at the willingness and uncompelled free giving of ourselves.

 

What do we mere humans have that God desires in a blessing?

 

Giving that gets to the roots of our faith, our future, and our surrender to God. Giving out of love, "freely, willingly". 

 

What are prayers like, that don't include blessing God?

 

" . . . . I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal." 1 Corinthians 13:1 They are empty and selfish prayers, they lack the intimate relationship that God desires with us, and God is not blessed when we forget to remember who He is and what He has done for us.

We are reaffirming to God just how great he is in our lives. It is a way of thanking him for all the good things that he has given us. It is a way of showing our love to him. God desires to know that we love, honor and worship him. I feel that there are prayers where a person is begging for forgiveness or healing or something where he would forget to bless God. I have also seen (heard) prayers that were just empty words. There was no feeling or thought behind them. They seemed to be self-praising for the person saying them.

God is always wanting to hear from us just like we like to hear from our kids. Every time we hear from our kids we count that as a blessing. The same is true with our Heavenly Father. We mere humans have the love for God that He desires and calls it a blessing.

We praise and bless GOD for what He is and who He is. God is Holy God. An almighty God, generous and gracious God. God of compassion.

One needs to have a grateful heart toward God for what he has done. Transforming lives from darkness into light. Giving faith and an blessed hope that leads into eternal life.

A prayer that dosen't include blessing God is a prayer that is shallow, hypocritical empty words blabbering to oneself.such prayer are selfish,do not even reach the roof.

God he is not helped or strengthened or made better off, man’s blessing God is an “expression of praising thankfulness” When the OT speaks of blessing God it does not “designate a process that aims at the increase of God’s strength

We Honor God for His goodness and power. Tell Him the specific things He's done for us and that we are thankful for it. We praise God even if are going through hard times and ask God to continue blessing our lives.

To “bless” the Lord means to give Him praise, to actually “kneel before Him;” to recognize His goodness and Sovereignty over our lives, by giving Him respect and honor.

God forgives our sin. There are times when we’ve missed the mark, turned our back on Him, or gone our own way, He forgives. He graciously extends mercy for every sin, when we simply come to Him and confess our need.

Prayers of praise are like music to God’s ears. When we praise Him it demonstrates that we know who He is and acknowledge His greatness.

He wants our hearts!

These prayers are selfish prayers. They aren’t Spirit-filled prayers.

Praying with a prayer of praise blesses God by offering up our heart and love to Him and Him alone. 

God desires our heart, our faith, and our belief and surrender to Him that is willingly given.

Prayers that don't bless God is a prayer of petition, and just going to Him to just ask for something.

1. In what way do our praises bless God?
Praising God is a free-will offering response to the revelation knowledge I’ve received and actually have experienced in my own personal life.

2. What do we precious saints have that God desires in a blessing?

“Thankfulness” by acknowledging His released glorious goodness in it’s many forms, especially all of what Jesus has done on the cross for me.

3. What are prayers like, that don't include blessing God?

They are soulish and have no Spirit nor Life in them. Usually self absorbed
