Lord, let our eyes be opened

 

Matthew 20:32-33

Jesus stood still and called them, saying, “What do you want me to do for you?” They said to him, “Lord, let our eyes be opened.”

You make no assumptions, Lord

You ask us what we want

“What do you want me to do for you?”

And, mostly, we don’t know

in our distraction and indecision

We could do worse than ask

“Lord, let our eyes be opened”

Let our eyes be opened

to where you are at work in the world

Let our eyes be opened

to your invitation to work alongside you

Let our eyes be opened 

to the small things that make a difference

Let our eyes be opened

to prayer that brings about change

Let our eyes be opened

to the ways we can be an answer to prayer

by loving those around us

by living in peace with our neighbour

by practising selfless acts of love

Lord, let our eyes be opened today
