How To Pray A Blessing: The practical guide to praying a life-changing blessing over others.

It might grieve you that you've lived without something that had the potential to be life-changing. We believe that blessing prayer is essential to holistically thriving in life. We also believe that many people lack spiritual empowerment in life, and this deficit comes from a lack of intentional blessing.

Whether you're a parent longing to connect with your child, a leader wanting to transform your workplace, or someone wanting to minister powerfully through prayer, this book is for you.

How To Pray A Blessing invites you to restore what's been missing, heal what's wounded, and speak life into the people around you.

Drawn from over 25 years of trauma-informed pastoral care, parenting, & frontline ministry, How To Pray A Blessing emerges from the real and messy work of helping people heal, grow, and step into who they were made to be. People just like you have practised these blessing prayers in homes, churches, workplaces, and communities.

Grounded in a practical 4D Framework and filled with real stories, step-by-step guides, and ready-to-use printouts, How To Pray A Blessing equips you to pray with confidence. You will learn to pray transforming prayers, and write eulogies to both the living and the lost. You'll discover how to create a culture of blessing in your family, church, school, workplace or community, and find the language to say (and pray) what matters most.

Australian author David Tensen brings decades of experience in pastoral care, spiritual development, and research to his writing. His poems, in four collections (2020-2022), have achieved global reach and connection with audiences of all ages - with 'The Wrestle', remains a favourite among many. But David's ability to weave words and stir hearts goes beyond poetry. In 2018, he was commissioned to write on fathering for families in China. In 2024, David released his first kid's book, 'The Kid Without A Costume'. And in 2025, his provocative manifesto, 'Decenter Everything, ' became a bestseller in three categories, including conduct of life, health and spirituality, adulthood and aging.
