Yes it is a go-to spell for most clerics, I think, and probably the one most likely on which to have his concentrations slot spent, but that doesn't make it overpowered. It just makes it better in many situations than many other opportunities.The usefulness of Bless, though, is situational. If you are not fighting a foe that causes you to make saves, then that part is useless. If foes are low AC and you would hit them without it, then that part is useless. If both are together, then the entire spell is pretty useless.I think Bless and Shield of Faith vie for use in our low level game (we are 4th level now). But we are situationally more able to extract use from Bless because I play a Battle Rager with GWM and that means I am often attacking with advantage with only a +2 to hit, and so that makes Bless critical. OTOH, if I can hit things easily using my GWM but the foes hit hard or have some special add on to attack (not poison, because...well...I am a dwarf) then I will want Shield of Faith instead.</blockquote>
