     | 187 views

    The cry, “Open my eyes, Lord!” should be the daily prayer of every believer. Without spiritual sight, we may live in confusion, fear, and ignorance of God’s plans.

    In our cynical world today, it's hard to trust anyone. All the institutions have been shown to be engaged in fraud, lying, and deception. But we can trust the Word of God and the God who gave us that Word.

    Watching & praying are often associated in the Bible. Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, asked his Disciples to watch & pray with him as he prayed in the Garden at Gethsemane. I think Jesus was asking them more than simply to stay awake & pray.
