God,
Giver of Light,
you who are the clarity at the center of all things,
the truth that makes all things appear:
Open my eyes.
I confess: I am easily confused,
quickly distracted by my fears and desires.
Wake me.
Heal me of my dread of what I may behold.
Draw me out of the gloom
where I hide my eyes inside my head.
Peel from my soul’s seeing
the husk of my own mind.
Free me from myself so I can see
without fear or delusion.
Steady me.
Pierce me with your light.
Draw out in me a horizon of peace
so I can see the whole of things,
see with clarity and compassion,
see with gentle eyes.
With the eyes of heaven,
help me see.
