Whether he is their son and how he can see now

Whether he is old enough to speak for himself and where he lives

Whether he was recently healed and by whom

Whether the crowd has misunderstood what happened

Ask careful questions and listen before drawing conclusions

Assume the change must be fake if you were not there to see it

Set the story aside and focus only on your own opinion

Explain the change away without hearing the person's account

If you would like to receive Jesus, pray this with me: Lord Jesus, I admit that I have sinned and lived in darkness. I cannot save myself or give myself sight. I believe you died for my sins and rose again. I turn from my sin and trust you as my Lord. Open my life to your light and lead me in your truth. Amen.

Open My Eyes, Lord Jesus

Lord, revive your Church so we ask honest questions, listen well, and recognize your work even when it surprises us. Free us from pride, fear, and quick judgment. Open our eyes to your mercy and make us humble witnesses of your healing, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Revive Your Church to See Clearly

Father, when I am misunderstood or when your work in someone's life is hard to explain, give me peace, patience, and clear sight. Keep me from panic and from defending myself too quickly. Help me trust you with what is hard to explain, in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Peace When I Am Questioned

Pray by naming one place where you need God to open your eyes, then ask him for one humble question to ask and one truthful answer to receive today.

Pray for Clear Sight

Pray for someone whose changed life is being misunderstood. Ask God to give them clarity, courage, and patient listeners who want the truth.

For Someone Whose Story Has Changed

Give thanks for Jesus' power to open blind eyes and for the moments when he turns confusion into clear seeing. Thank him for the mercy that invites honest questions.

Thanks for Opening Blind Eyes
