4.) Pray and ask God to take your eyes off things that distract us from His presence and for Him to place your gaze upon Him.

3.) Lord help us to be real with you and not ignore the things about us that we know should be addressed. Help us to dig deep within ourselves and see to it that every toxic/detrimental root is uprooted. (Jeremiah 29:13; Psalm 119:1)

4.) Empower us to be carriers and conduits of the fullness of You (Ephesians 3: 16-19)
