Blindness and a Prayer for Vision (2 Kings 6:8-23)

The Syrians thought they finally had Elisha surrounded. Even Elisha’s servant began to panic. But Elisha saw what others could not. He prayed for his servant and his eyes were opened. He could suddenly see the heavenly army surrounding the Syrians.

Blindness and sight are recurring Biblical images. We come to recognize that though we see, we can be blind to so much of the truth. We pray for God to open our eyes as well.
