What does the Bible say about lifting up our hands to God? Here are some passages that speak to that idea.

2. Psalms 134 1 Behold, bless ye Jehovah, all ye servants of Jehovah, That by night stand in the house of Jehovah. 2 Lift up your hands to the sanctuary, And bless ye Jehovah. 3 Jehovah bless thee out of Zion; Even he that made heaven and earth.

3. Psalms 63 1 O God, thou art my God; earnestly will I seek thee: My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee, In a dry and weary land, where no water is. 2 So have I looked upon thee in the sanctuary, To see thy power and thy glory. 3 Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise thee. 4 So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name.

4. Psalms 63 5 My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips; 6 When I remember thee upon my bed, And meditate on thee in the night-watches. 7 For thou hast been my help, And in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. 8 My soul followeth hard after thee: Thy right hand upholdeth me.

7. Hebrews 4 15 For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 16 Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
