We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties.

Oswald Chambers
About This Quote

To pray with your eyes on God is to focus on the Lord. Pray with your eyes focused on Heaven, your hope and expectations of Heaven. Pray with your eyes focused on God’s will, not on the difficulties of life that you encounter. Prayer is a way to move beyond the obstacles that get in the way of our hopes and desires. Without prayer, we may feel like we are stuck with our problems and frustrations, but with prayer, we can find hope for better days.
