People may talk about "blessings" in their lives, but the nonbeliever has no idea what a real blessing is because only the child of God truly knows what it is to be blessed. It is also worth noting that Jesus both began and concluded His earthly ministry blessing people. (Excerpt by Greg Laurie)

A Prayer for God's Blessings
Prayer for Blessedness
O God, you are life, wisdom, truth, bounty, and blessedness, the eternal, the only true good, our God and our Lord, our hope and our heart’s delight, we acknowledge with thanksgiving that you have made us in your image, and that we may direct our thoughts to you.
Lord, make us to know you aright, that we may love, enjoy, and possess you more and more. And since, in the life here below, I cannot fully attain this blessedness, let it at least grow in me day by day, until it all is fulfilled at last in the life to come.
Here let the knowledge of you be increased, and there let it be perfected. Here let my love to you grow, and there let it ripen; that my joy being here great in hope, may there in fruition be made perfect. Amen.
