A Prayer for New Eyes

Infinite and eternal Majesty, Author and Fountain of being and blessedness, how little do we poor, sinful creatures know of Thee, or the way to serve and please Thee! We talk of religion, and pretend unto it, but, alas, how few there are who know and consider what it means! How easily we mistake the affections of our nature, and the issues of self-love, for those divine graces which alone can render us acceptable in Thy sight!

"...As we look not to the things that are seen but the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18).
