Lesson learning: don’t resent the season of life when we are healed from blindness and can see.
The time of blessing is the LORD’s will, as well as the season of blindness.
Let us pray that our hearts are not bitter towards the sight the Lord gives us, that we choose to see every season as a time to glorify God, and that we humbly walk in the knowledge of the FULNESS of God’s love, grace, mercy, and glory.
“…And your Father knows what things you have need of…” Matthew 6:8. We do not pray to inform God of our wants. Omniscient as He is, He cannot be informed of anything which He did not know before. And He is always willing to relieve our needs. The chief thing lacking is a suitable disposition on our part to receive His grace and blessing. Consequently, one great purpose of prayer is to produce such a disposition in us, to exercise our dependence on God, to increase our desire of the things we ask for, and to make us so sensible of our needs that we never cease wrestling till we have prevailed for the blessing (see Genesis 32:24-30).
From How to Pray
by John Wesley
Dang, all I want to do is pray. This is wonderful. I hope it ministers to you and encourages you as well!
Possibly better than the original.
