Praying With Open Eyes
Do you ever pray with your eyes open? It seems that David did. The Psalms tell us, "My voice You shall hear in the morning, O Lord; In the morning I will direct it to You, And I will look up."( Psalm 5:3) Jesus prayed with His eyes open when He stood outside the grave of Lazarus. The Bible says, "And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, 'Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.'"( John 11:41) Having our eyes open now and then when we pray might feel a little strange, but it helps us to understand the omnipresence of Almighty God. It reminds us that He dwells everywhere. But notice where David and Jesus looked. It was to the heavens. When we pray looking up at the heavens, it helps us not only to remember that God is everywhere, but that He's majestic, holy ... and almighty. There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
