Eyes to See

"But in my distress I cried out to the Lord; yes, I prayed to my God for help.

He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry to him reached his ears."

~Psalm 18:6 (NLT)

In those moments when I realize I have been allowing past hurts and present fears to hold me hostage, Lord, I thank You for reminding me that You are nearby, and that I don't have to do life alone! 

My expectations of people frequently leave me saddened, frustrated, and disappointed. But You...You have never failed Your promises to me!  I know You will not abandon me, and in THAT, I find comfort and peace. 

I refuse to project my hurts caused by those I love here on earth, on to You, Lord.  I refuse to allow the enemy to convince me of his lies. Give me eyes to see from YOUR perspective, Father...so that I may not be deceived! 

Continue molding me into Your image...and to You be the glory!!!
