Eyes of the Heart
We talked a little about how to pray for others during bible study class a few weeks ago. We especially touched on how to pray for someone who needs healing. Healing comes in so many different forms. Sometimes we only think of the physical ailments, but so many people need to be spiritually healed. Their heart simply does not seem to be able to see that God is very real! His “interventions” occur in the spiritual realm and don’t necessarily involve a magical pill or immediate cure. He is definitely working out a plan!
During a devotion a couple of months ago, I came across this verse in Ephesians. I have started to use it in my prayers for truly the Enemy sets up blind spots. People need to be encouraged in their faith walk.
“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints”. – Ephesians 1:18 NIV
