When I have seen it, help me remove it.
Help me see clearly your everlasting love and faithfulness
and your gifts of food and peace.
Help me see the pressing need to share these gifts with people
who sorely suffer the lack of them.
Raise me from my spiritual death; give me faith in your power
to make me see clearly, and then to act.

he fills you with the finest of wheat.
Jer. 31:3b
I [the LORD] have loved you [Israel] with an everlasting love;
therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.
Col. 2:12
…when you were buried with [Christ] in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
Luke 6:41-43
“…Why do you see the speck in your neighbor’s eye, but do not notice the log in your own eye? Or how can you say to your neighbor, ‘Friend, let me take out the speck in your eye,’ when you yourself do not see the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye. …” [Jesus to a great crowd of his disciples and a great multitude of people]
