June 11th, 2022: Open Our Eyes, Hearts and Minds

 

Open our eyes, Lord! So we may see.

We can discover what we have failed to believe.

Open our hearts, Lord! So we may receive.

We can embrace your love and forgiveness while many others prefer being deceived.

Open our minds, Lord! So we may understand.

So we can marvel at your beauty in the world where many live only by corruptible demands.

Teach us your way, Lord.

So we will be on board.

May you show us your way of righteousness.

So we can be confident in our choices of overcoming our mess.

May you show us your kindness.

So we can overcome the undesirable spiritual blindness.

Reveal to us the peace that passes all understanding.

So we might have the courage to face the reality of evil conniving.

May we rest in your presence.

So we can be secure in your eternal deliverance.

Ephesians 1: 18

 

"Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,"

 

Philippians 4: 6 

"The Lord is Near! Do not be anxious about anything. Instead, in every situation with prayer and petition with thanksgiving, tell your requests to God. And the peace that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."

Psalm 37: 4

 

"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."
