The Good Eye



“Your eye is a lamp that provides light for your body.  When your eye is good, your whole body is filled with light. But when your eye is bad, your whole body is filled with darkness. And if the light you think you have is actually darkness, how deep that darkness is!

--Matthew 6:22-23 (NLT)



Heavenly Father,


Help me always look to You, so I might understand things from Your perspective, be filled with the light of Your will, and see clearly the way You want me to go.


Help me maintain my intimate, personal relationship with You, as I submit myself—body, soul and spirit—to You, and allow You to fill me with Your marvelous light.

Help me never to allow the darkness of my own self-serving desires, goals, or greed, cloud my vision of Your will for me.  Help my eyes remain fixed on You.

Save me from any traps of deep darkness that self-deception might bring when I walk my way—falsely believing my way is Yours, instead of making sure that Your way is mine.


Help me always look to You, so I might understand things from Your perspective, be filled with the light of Your will, and see clearly the way You want me to go.


In the name of Jesus, Amen.
