Closing my Eyes to See

Lord,
maybe I'm just tired today.
Maybe I've looked at the computer screen too long.
My eyes hurt.

They hurt from seeing others in pain.
They hurt from writing emails, working on details, trying to get it all done.
They hurt from days of rain and little sun.

So I'm going to close my eyes.
Maybe it's rest.
Maybe it's prayer.
Maybe it's blocking out the world for a little while.
Maybe it's trying to refocus on what matters.

I'm going to close my eyes,
so that I can see clearly.
Maybe it's dreaming.
Maybe it's listening.
Maybe it's centering on you.

I'm going to close my eyes
to see what you want to show me.
Amen.
