Turn my eyes from looking at worthless things; and give me life in your ways.
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus,/ look full in his wonderful face/ and the things of earth will grow strangely dim/ in the light of his glory and grace."
So true, Lord, yet sometimes so difficult. Satan waves a subtle flag of distractions before me, sometimes just with a promise of a few moments of relaxation or with the indulgence of a bit of grumbling about a problem I'm having. And there I go, lost my focus, forgot my purpose here, off on my own path and forgetting where life truly is.
Turn my eyes, Lord, full on Your wonderful face. And teach me to keep them there!
