Open Our Eyes

Dear Father,
In your word, you gave us examples of people who were lost and scared.  Your words states you opened their eyes.  Balaam was confused and heading down the wrong road.  You opened his eyes to see an angel.  Elisha's servant was afraid.  You opened his eyes and he saw chariots of fire all around protecting them from the invading forces.  Open our eyes.  Help us see where you want us to go.  Help us see what you want us to do.  Remove our blinders.  Help us not to be nearsighted and help us not to be farsighted.  Help us see your chariots of fire surrounding us.  We don't want to miss out on one second of your power and what you can do in our lives.

Balaam's eyes were opened to see an angel on the donkey.  Numbers 22:31

Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them."  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.  2 Kings 6:16-17
