What does it mean to lift your hands to God?

Answered in 1 source

Lifting hands to God symbolizes prayer and supplication, seeking His help and intervention.

Lifting hands in prayer, as demonstrated by Abraham, signifies a heart posture of submission and dependence on God. It is an act of humility, akin to a beggar seeking aid. This practice echoes throughout the Scriptures as a physical expression of one's plea for divine help. For instance, David reflects this in Psalm 28:2 when he says, 'Hear the voice of my supplications when I cry unto Thee, when I lift up my hands toward Thy holy oracle.' In lifting our hands to God, we acknowledge His sovereignty and our need for His provision and mercy in every circumstance of life.
