A Prayer for Monday, April 11, 2011

“If Your Eye is Healthy”

Cause us, O God, to be careful about what we let get into our lives through our eyes.

Cause us, O God, to be careful about what we set our sights on, about what we make the goal of our lives.

Cause us, O God, to be careful about what we concentrate on, about what we let our eyes dwell on.

Cause us, O God, to be careful about what we look for, about what we make the object of our life’s quest.

May what we set our sights on, what we concentrate on, and what we look for lead to our lives being flooded with your light rather than with the world’s darkness.

Amen.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light; but if your eye is unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!”(Matthew 6:22-23)
