When you clarify something , you illuminate it or shed light on it. Ask yourself today: "What area of my life still needs a floodlight shined on it?" There's so much to figure out and so little time to do it, that you even need to be clear about what you need clarified! In other words, ask God specifically what you want to know. Learning to ask for clarity is a skill that will help you become all God intends for you to become.
Luke 10:38-42
As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said.
But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me"
"Martha, Martha" the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, but only one thing is needed. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."
Dear Lord, speak to me, face to face, directly and not in riddles! I want to hear your voice clearly and see you as you are. Today I pray for clarification from you about all aspects of my life and about my next steps, every step of the way. I ask for my eyes to be opened as you allow me to see the truth you want me to see. Take away all of my deliberate, spiritual blindness...Amen.
