Blessing Psalms

Blessing Psalms pray God's blessings for people we love.

There aren't many of these, and they don't follow a particular form, though you will find similar blessings outside of Psalms. The ones in Psalms are Psalms 20, 67, 128, and 134.

The main thing I take from these Psalms is the idea that I can pray broad, general good will for my friends and loved ones. I don't have to know specifics in their lives right now. I can leave the details to the Lord, and ask for God's face to shine on them.

Examples

I've got a couple examples of Blessing psalms on my Sonderjourneys blog. Have somebody you are wishing God's best for? Try writing a Blessing psalm of your own. Then if you'd like to share, post in the comments on the blog.
