Psalm134:2
Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and bless the Lord.
MSG - Lift your praising hands

Psalm 141:1-2 MSG
God, come close. Come quickly!  Open your ears—it’s my voice you’re hearing! Treat my prayer as sweet incense rising,

my raised hands are my evening prayers.
Voice:  consider it as an evening offering.
I guess I never thought of raised hands as prayers or an offering.
Google states:  In the Bible, lifting hands in worship is a
way to express praise, adoration and surrender to God.  It can also be a way to express dependence on God, humility and joy.
Raising your hands shows that you trust God’s plans and that He is in control.

Lifting hands can be a way to pray to God without words but I think He wants us to express our prayer in words.  It is a way
that we communicate with Him.  He wants us to come to Him, express our feelings, our praise and thanks, and put in our
requests and petition Him on behalf of others.
I was reading about Daniel and something struck me.  The decree was “that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall be cast into the den of lions.”

In Daniel 6:10, it states that Daniel prayed three times a day, but that didn’t just start when he heard about the decree.

He had been doing it all along. What this tells me is that he had already made it a habit to pray.  
He just didn’t pray to God when things were not going well or there was trouble in his life.  He always prayed three times a
day.
Why three times a day?  Well, we eat three
times a day, so prayer is as essential or more important than our three meals.
I don’t know about you, but I need to pray three or more times per day.  The word does tell us that men ought always
to pray.
Psalm 55:17 KJV
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.
