A Blessing for Love

Question

Is there a specific blessing to thank God for love (i.e. the love we have in our lives)?

Answer

Not that I’m aware of. Perhaps you should have that in mind when you say the paragraph in the shemoneh esrei beginning with the word “modim“, as it is a general blessing for the good things we have in life.

You can also thank God in your own words.  Praying to God in your own words is a very high form of Divine connection.
