I Am - Lent Day 18: Surrendering Sight To Truly See

Jesus teaches that true sight begins when we acknowledge our own blindness. (John 9:39-41) When we surrender our need for control and certainty, we open ourselves to God’s deeper truth and wisdom. In this meditation, you’ll be invited to reflect on where you may be holding onto limited understanding. What might it look like to release control and trust God’s vision for your life?

Through guided reflection, let go of assumptions and invite God’s light to illuminate your path. Conclude with a prayer for humility, openness, and a heart ready to see as God sees.

I live in the US, and at this moment things feel scary, unsafe, uncertain, infuriating, and chaotic. Trusting is something I am struggling with. But if I look at it a different way, maybe also it’s never been clearer what and who to place my trust in and to follow.

I thought immediately of Tiresias, of the Oedipus trilogy and other Greek plays. He was blind. And he saw the future/truth. “Release the need for certainty.” We, in the US, need this badly. We are too certain that “they” are bad, wrong, etc. Thank you for giving me a way to think about our troubled country.

You bring these reflections to life-thank you🙏🏻 and we’re challenged to ask ourselves some tough questions!
Peace be with you as well🕊️

"You don't have to see the whole path. You only need to trust the one who leads you." This is a powerful reflection on following Jesus, especially for those of us who struggle with wanting to have certainty in our lives. I'll listen to this again!

Beautiful teaching. Letting go and trusting God has often been challenging for me. An unexpected illness of a dear family member is paradoxically helping me open to God’s Wisdom. I so appreciate your helping me to deepen my understanding of blindness as certainty, and sight as Trust. Thank you and Blessings.🙏🏼🌻🌈
