September 11 Prayer

“Unveil my eyes to see your face
that I might recognize your grace
and all these plans you have for me
use them to set them free.” ~Salt of the Sound

Another morning of a white out. That's when you cannot see the horizon
line that separates the sky from sea.
There is so much that we cannot see with our natural eyes, no wonder Jesus spoke in parables to get us to seek deeper truths and begin to see with the eyes of our hearts.
‘The blind cannot lead the blind,..Do not try to take the speck out of your brother's eye when you have a log in your own.’ Lk.6:29-42
When all you see is what is wrong, it is hard to see the face of God and His marvelous plans to set them free.
In you and in me.

When I am around a critical person I become critical of them.
This makes me stop and begin to recognize the things that I see wrong in others are really what is wrong in me.
Here is where I really need to hold firmly the ground of my being like St. Catherine’s tree, where we get all the nourishment from the ground of God’s love.
Nothing to prove, nothing to hold onto, but to know what I cannot see is really inside of me.

‘Search me ,O God and know my heart’
Unveil my eyes to see your face
that I might recognize your grace
and all the plans you have for me
use them to set them free’

Prayer;
Lord, we thank you that You see all that is inside of us. Y
ou know our hearts and you have marvelous plans for us all.
Would you show us these plans, and unveil our eyes so we can see how beautiful your face is?
That we might see the intentions you have for good and amazing things to come forth from our lives.
Give us eyes to recognize your grace right here, right now in the face of another.
Make us like trees planted by your living waters of love.

Amen~
