Hey all! Growing up my Mom always called me, “eagle eye.” I could see clearly from long distances. If my Mom wanted to know the name of a street from far away she would call on me from the backseat of the car. She would even sometimes test my eye sight just to see how far I could see, and more than not, I could read whatever she had for me. I have always loved having crisp clear vision.
Over the last few years some dark spots have made themselves home in my sight and it has been devastating to me. While on vacation we attended our “vacation church,” Steven’s Creek Church in Augusta, GA. While there they had cards for us to fill out with prayer requests to take to the front of the church and they promised us that each one would be prayed over.
While filling out my prayer request card the Holy Spirit tapped me on the shoulder and I finally put two and two together. Yes, my eyes need physical healing but it is not just a physical healing I should be requesting but a healing in my vision for my calling. I want to physically and spiritually be able to see. I wrote: “I, Erin Coker, am asking for physical healing for my eye sight and spiritual healing for my vision or my calling in life.” My calling always seemed clear to me growing up and lately my vision is cloudy. I knew when God specifically told me to be a stay-at-home Mom, I knew when God called me back to camp ministry, I knew where God called me to college and I knew when God called me to marry Michael.
I felt the stirring to speak and to write in 2020 but it is not quite clear where, when or how. So, in this season I am praying for a physical vision healing and a spiritual vision healing. I am asking that God would open and close doors for my family to walk through. I am asking that God would show up and receive the glory. I am living with my hands daily lifted ready to receive and then to give whatever He asks of me.
What healing are you needing today? Is it possible that the healing you need with your physical body could also be a sign pointing to the spiritual healing needed in your own life?
LORD,
Thank You that You are Healer. Thank You for speaking and guiding us as Your children. Today, God, we are asking for Your physical and spiritual healing. Awaken us to our true needs, desires and most importantly wake us to the life You are calling us to today. May we stop looking around us and fashioning our own lives from that of our friends, family and neighbors but instead look to You so that You can mold us and fashion us into the life that is uniquely designed for us to bring You glory. Help us to have eyes for those who need Your love. May we receive what You have for us and not keep it for ourselves but to open our hands and share because we know that You are the Giver and You never run out. You are like a never ending waterfall and we do not need to cling to that which is not our own to begin with. Thank You for Your grace and Your love.
In Jesus name!
Amen
