Blessing is a census-designated place (CDP) in Matagorda County, Texas, United States.

Blessing had its start when the railroad finally was extended to that point, and first settlers accepted the name "Blessing" after their first choice of "Thank God" was deemed unsuitable by postal officials. A post office called Blessing has been in operation since 1903.
