But Jesus Only

 

And when they lifted up

       their eyes,

they saw no one

   but Jesus only.

        Matthew 17. 8

(When we pray,

when we lift up our eyes

  from these circumstances,

we can see

       Jesus over everything.

Through the act of praying,

God reorients our hearts,

refines our vision,

and reveals His Presence,

       already here with us.

And so, as believers,

we can approach and navigate

   this situation differently.)

O LORD,

We come to You

with joys and concerns,

with sorrows and

        deep asks,

but mostly we come

because You are God,

     and we are not.

We need You.

Help us to see You

    over everything.

You have situated us

for Your greater good

     and Your glory.

May we seek You

  and not just Your hand.
