Not that you are going to be blessed, you are blessed abundantly already, that comes with the benefits of being a Child of God you need to believe and receive it. [Mark 11:24, Psalm 103:1-5]
The problem is that there is a lot of "bullying" going on within your thoughts and emotions that you get robbed or blinded of what belongs to you and, most of the time, you do not even know because you think it's just the times, bad luck, something you did wrong, or it is for other people to be blessed but not you. [John 10:10]
Did You Know... God's word is full of over 5000 blessings that belong to the Children of God but just like in the Jewish Nation, enemies come to steal, kill and destroy that which God has given already to His Children.
As you prepare to open your gifts given by your loved ones this Holiday Season, take the time to open the Word of God and receive in your body, mind and soul what the One who loves you the most has given you. He has given you His precious and wonderful promises that if you will receive them by faith you will go through this life "Blessed by God," no matter what the circumstances you face, rejoicing with your praises for God's faithfulness and His Love that endures forever for His Children. [2 Peter 1:3-4, Psalm 118]
BONUS - Below I have included one of the lists of blessings...the list is endless as you search God's Word for your blessings as a Child of God on this earthly journey.
If you listen obediently to the Voice of God, your God, and heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, God, your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of the world. All these blessings will come down on you and spread out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of God, your God:
God’s blessing inside the city,
God’s blessing in the country;
God’s blessing on your children,
the crops of your land,
the young of your livestock,
the calves of your herds,
the lambs of your flocks.
God’s blessing on your basket and bread bowl;
God’s blessing in your coming in,
God’s blessing in your going out.
God will defeat your enemies who attack you. They’ll come at you on one road and run away on seven roads.
God will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll bless you in the land that God, your God, is giving you.
God will form you as a people holy to him, just as he promised you, if you keep the commandments of God, your God, and live the way he has shown you.
All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of God and hold you in respectful awe.
God will lavish you with good things: children from your womb, offspring from your animals, and crops from your land, the land that God promised your ancestors that he would give you. God will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule and bless the work you take in hand. You will lend to many nations but you yourself won’t have to take out a loan. God will make you the head, not the tail; you’ll always be the top dog, never the bottom dog, as you obediently listen to and diligently keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you today. Don’t swerve an inch to the right or left from the words that I command you today by going off following and worshiping other gods. Did you know... all you need to do is make it Personal - “I am …”

Song: Mary, Did You Know?
Group: Pentatonix
Lyrics:
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am
Mary did you know, Mary did you know, Mary did you know
