Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.
(Psalm 119:18)Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
(Philippians 3:13) Visualize what God has for us
In this meditation, the speaker reflects on the importance of reaching a point of focus, passion, urgency, and extreme need in prayer, similar to the "Oh" of Jabez. Sometimes, God waits for our prayer to reach this level of purity and urgency so that we can understand the implications of our request and be emotionally mature enough to process the response. Additionally, the speaker emphasizes the power of visualizing and daydreaming about the things we want in our mind and spirit, as this helps to give power and effectiveness to our requests. The ability to see things in three dimensions in our mind is a great resource for the life of faith, and Christians should develop this skill more often. The speaker uses examples from the Bible, including Joseph's dreams, to illustrate the importance of visualizing and daydreaming in the life of faith.
