Prayer for Divine Vision
Backgrounder on 2 King 4-8:
Elisha, the great miracle worker
of God performs eight miracles
in these 5 chapters, including
providing an oil well for a widow,
giving new life for a deaf boy,
multiplying bread for hungry crowd,
curing a leprous army captain and
    enabling a servant to see angels.
In each case, God’s power at work
           shows His readiness to do the same         in the nation He has called His own.
Lord, Grant us Eyes of Faith:
Now the king of Syria was making
war against Israel… (2 Kings 6:8).
Ah my lord, what will we do now?     
     Elisha’s servant cried out to Elisha.
Don’t be afraid ! Elisha told him.
              For there are more on our side
than on theirs! Then Elisha prayed:
O Lord, open his eyes and let him
see! The Lord opened his servant’s
eyes and when he looked up,
he saw that the hillside around
Elisha was filled with horses and
chariots of fire (2Kings 6:15-17).
Lord, grant me the light to see
in the unseen realm how Your
strength is greater than any foe.          
Remind me of Your awesome
power and unlimited resources.
           Open my eyes Lord, let me
look through the eyes of Faith
and show me Your resources.
And let me take courage because
           You are fighting for me. Amen.
Almighty God, open my eyes to
see the truth about my situation.
Give me clear understanding,
especially when I am facing
the enemy, of all You are doing
in the midst of my situation.
Enable me to see things from
Your perspective so that I can
stand strong and courageous.
Help me to trust Your hand of
protection. In Jesus’ mighty name.
Lord, In difficult circumstance,
I purpose not to fear for You are
my God and You are with me.               
You will Strengthen me, You will
help me and You will uphold me
with Your righteous right hand.
               For God has not given us
a spirit of fear, but of Power.
                And we can do all things through         Christ who Strengthens us. Amen
