Almighty Father,
As this week begins, we reflect on the miracle of the man born blind. There are so many parallels for us today. Many times, we are blind to our sins and faults. We think if we ignore them, You will too. But like the man born blind, Jesus exposes the darkness in our lives. Lord, I thank You for the example of this blind man and his developing faith. We pray that our eyes see the truth and not be influenced by our selfish desires, nor a worldly mindset that seeks to create doubt in Your work on our behalf. The devil seeks to discredit Your grace. Thank You, Holy Spirit for the faith You place in our hearts and we have become citizens of Heaven. Give us the boldness to proclaim the light of the gospel to those still trapped in darkness. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
