Open My Eyes

January 26, 2026

2 KINGS 6:17  NKJV –  (17)  And Elisha prayed, and said, “Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

When the prophet Elisha woke up to find an enemy’s army with horses and chariots encamped around him, unlike his servant who began to panic, he had a different reaction. “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (2 Kings 6:16).

Realizing his servant could only see what was happening in the natural, Elisha asked God to open his servant’s eyes so he could see what was really going on in the spiritual. For many of us, it’s easier to become distracted and caught up in what the enemy is doing around us than to keep our eyes steadily focused on the Lord.

We, too, can pray for Him to reveal the truth of the situation to us. Instead of feeling alone and outnumbered, we can inquire of God to show us beyond what we see through our physical eyes. We can ask Him for a glimpse into the spiritual to see how He is standing with us (SUPERNATURAL). Just ask Him. Ask Him to open your eyes to the truth. And the truth will set you free.

We, too, can gain confidence to be strong, courageous, and free from fear and discouragement, when we remind ourselves and one another of the One who is on our side.
