Eyes Wide Open
Sep 8, 2025

On Sunday, we started our new series, "More Than Mine." We explored how to pray with our eyes wide open so that we can see all the good things God has given us to do the good works He wants us to do. We also learned how to pray with our eyes open, addressing the ways we misuse and abuse God's creation through our evil actions. If you weren't able to participate, you can watch it by clicking here. We looked at Genesis 1 to be reminded that God has created everything. God is the creator and owner of all that is. Take seven minutes to watch this video that explains how Genesis 1 shows how God has created us to participate with him in his good creation.
Every day this week, take 5 minutes to keep a gratitude journal. With eyes wide open, write down all the things that you are grateful for today. According to brain scientists (neurologists), keeping a gratitude journal has a positive impact on your brain chemistry. Remember, God created all, and it was good, so you will have plenty of items to include.
Grace and Peace,
Drew
