Prayer to open spiritual eyes and ears

Prayer to Open Spiritual Eyes and Ears (Biblical)

   Heavenly Father,

I come before You today with a heart that longs to know You more deeply. Just as Elisha prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened, I ask, Lord, that You open my spiritual eyes to see the unseen realities of Your kingdom. Help me to discern what You are doing in my life and the world around me.

    Lord, open my eyes to Your truth. Remove every veil, distraction, and blindness caused by sin, doubt, or fear. May I see Your glory, Your plan, and Your hand in every situation. Let Your light illuminate the dark places in my heart and mind.

    Open my ears, Lord, to hear Your voice. Silence the noise of the world and tune my ears to the frequency of Heaven. Help me to recognize Your voice like a sheep knows the voice of its shepherd. May I hear when You warn, instruct, comfort, or lead me.

    Give me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Enlighten the eyes of my understanding, so I may know the hope of Your calling and the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints.

    Just as Jesus often said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear,” I ask for grace to be spiritually sensitive and obedient. Speak to me in dreams, visions, and through Your Word. Let my spirit be alert and attentive to the move of Your Holy Spirit.

    Lord, I yield myself to You. Remove spiritual dullness, complacency, and hardness of heart. Soften me, cleanse me, and fill me with Your Spirit. May I walk by faith and not by sight, yet be filled with divine vision and clarity.

    Thank You for the promise that if I ask, I will receive. I trust You to open my eyes and ears and to guide me into all truth by Your Spirit.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
