Bloggers, are you up for a writing challenge? Each Friday, Lisa Jo at The Gypsy Mama challenges us to write for 5 Minutes. No forethought, no editing or critiquing … just writing to see what flows out.
Today’s prompt is: SEE
Start: 6:45am
Isn’t it interesting how we can have perfect vision, yet not SEE?
Sometimes immaturity can block us from seeing what is right in front of our face. When I was a teenager, I thought I had this world figured out. Even in my 20’s, I thought I was an adult and understood most things.
It is amazing how wisdom comes with age — which means I still have a lot to learn as I “mature” in the years to come!
HINDSIGHT IS 20/20!
My prayer is that God will open my eyes that I might truly SEE.
Do you remember in the Old Testament when Elisha prayed that God would open the eyes of the servant? When He did, the servant could see hills full of horses and chariots of fire! That is the kind of vision I would love to have. Eyes to see in the natural and in the spirit realm.
So many in this world are spiritually blinded by the enemy. “Seeing” but not really SEEING. I don’t want that to be me.
Oh Father God, please give us eyes to see and ears to hear in Jesus’ Name.
Stop: 6:50am
2 Kings 6:17
And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

Great thoughts, great post, and great prayer! Yes, only by God’s “opening our eyes” can we perceive what’s most worth seeing!
yes …
a powerful verse, a beautiful prayer to be prayed OFTEN!
I think we are on the same page today Beth. Yes Lord, open my eyes that I might see. I too thought I was so wise when I was younger. But hindsight has shown me that not all my choices were wise.
blessings and love,

Yes Lord, I want eyes to see. Eyes opened wide to see far beyond what my mind can comprehend.
