Scripture: Philippians 4:16
For even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me help for my needs more than once.
Thought for the Day: In a book of prayers, Lavon Bayler writes: “Eye-opening God, whose compassion reaches out to all who walk in darkness, help us to recognize the blind spots in our lives.” This is a dangerous prayer to pray as it requests God’s help so that we might recognize the blind spot in our vision, and by the grace of God, regain a needed perspective by which we see the world as God sees it. And once we’ve gained this perspective, we will need to respond to what we’ve seen. Too often our prayer life consists of requests that will make our lives easier, but I’d like to suggest that we pray for the Eye-opening God to do just that – to open our eyes to the needs around us so that we can respond.
Prayer: Illuminate the path, O Eye-opening God, that leads us to the place where you would have us serving the real needs of the world. Amen.
