We are joining with you in prayer in Jesus' name for your eye exam this morning and we thank you for calling on His name, for it is through Him we have access to the Father.
We know even what may seem like a small concern to others matters to God because He cares for every detail of our lives. We are praying that your exam goes smoothly, that the doctors and staff have wisdom and skill, and that your eyes are found to be healthy. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. Proverbs 20:12. And we remember that Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind. Psalm 146:8. He is the one who formed your eyes and He is able to keep them.
We also lift up your specific request about the dilation at the end of the exam. We pray that your eyes recover focus quickly, without prolonged blurriness or discomfort, and that you are able to see clearly to drive yourself home safely. We think it is wise that you plan to wait in the waiting room until your vision is clear, and we pray God gives you patience and peace while you wait. We ask for His protection over your going out and your coming in. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. Psalm 121:8.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We lift up this dear one to You this morning and ask for Your hand upon this eye exam. Let everything go well, let the results be good, and let any concern be caught early and treated with wisdom. We ask that You guide the hands and eyes of the examiner. We ask especially that after the dilation, the blurriness fades quickly and focus returns soon, so there is no difficulty or danger in driving home. Grant safety on the road and peace of mind while waiting. Let Your calming presence be felt in the waiting room. We cast this care on You, trusting Your love. In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. We ask for that peace today. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to take sunglasses for after the dilation and to not rush, just as you have planned to wait until you can focus clearly. Trust the Lord with the outcome and rest in His care for you today.
