Prayer For Eyes To Be Opened
"I pray that you ... may have power ... to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." (Ephesians 3:17-19)
Because they couldn't grasp it, Paul prayed for the Ephesians. And I pray for you -- and I hope you'll pray for me:
Father, we admit that we don't really see all this. The eyes of our hearts are open just a tiny bit. Our faith is at low ebb. The examples we see around us in our churches fall way short of all this. Help us to see. In this New Year, open our spiritual eyes to grasp and see clearly things we haven't seen before, to grasp with a firm grip a new level of faith, to be filled to overflowing with your joy and your love and your presence. To know you as we never have before.
"Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You, I want to see You."[4]
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Dear Lord, let us live each day in preparation for your return. Help us to glorify your name and serve as lights on the hilltop of your kingdom. Heavenly Father, it is so easy for us to get caught up in our limited time on Earth. Don't let us lose perspective on our eternal destination. In Jesus' Name, Amen
Oh, Jesus, my Great Healer, my vision has been blurry lately. The fear of losing my sight is giving me sleepless nights. But dear Jesus, the word says that there is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. I surrender my health to you. I cancel and nullify any generational curses in my family line that cause people to have eye problems in the name of Jesus. Lord, give me faith to believe that my eyes will be well again. Please open my eyes to your word so that I can see scriptures that will build my confidence and help me to stand firm in your healing promises. In Jesus' name, I pray, Amen.
In every area of my life that I have been blind for years let your light shine and remove the darkness
Lord, open my eyes, internal and external and cause me to see clearly!
Open our eyes, Lord; we want to see Jesus. Please help us to experience your presence here and now. In your name, Amen.

Open the eyes of my heart.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Abba, we come before You to see. We want to enjoy the splendor of all that You have for us, and desire not to be blinded to the Truth and Your fullness. Open the eyes of our hearts. Give us eyes that can see and ears that can hear Your Truth and Your Voice. May we not be distracted by the lies of the enemy that come to steal, kill, and destroy, but rather may we rely fully on Your Word as Truth. Plant the seeds of Your Light into our heart that we may shine brightly in this dark age. Humble me, Abba. Let me not grow callous or blinded by lies. Do not let me stray from You, Abba, but rather pull me in close to You each and every day. I love You. Amen.
