A little girl of nine years old, told a lady that she always prayed, “Lord, open Thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law,” before reading her Scripture portion. “But, dear, do you always understand it when you have read it.” “Not always.” “And what do you do then?” “Oh, I say, Please, Lord, open my eyes a little wider.”
And that is what we all should pray, that the eyes of our understanding might be enlightened (Eph. 1:18) a little more each day.
