“So I will bless you as long as I live
and lift up my hands in your name.” (Ps. 63:4)

The posture of praying with uplifted hands is an ancient one that most of us rarely use these days.  Try praying with arms upraised, face and eyes open, hands stretching toward the ceiling.  You may just let the posture itself be your prayer, or recite a verbal prayer such as the Lord’s Prayer.  How does the prayer feel different from when you say it sitting down?

Prayer: God, you are my All.  May I praise you with all my being.
