Revelation 3:18 (New King James Version)

Ephesians 1:17-18 (New King James Version)
. . . that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,

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.

OPEN THE EYES OF MY SPIRIT, LORD. REMOVE THE SPECKS AND PLANKS–THE HATRED, DOUBT, PRIDE, AND HYPOCRISY–THAT I MAY BE WISE, DISCERNING BOTH GOOD AND EVIL, AND KNOW THE HOPE OF YOUR CALLING AND THE RICHES OF YOUR GLORY. AMEN.
