Oh Father God, the eyes say it all, nowadays. Faces are so masked and so we have to lift up our eyes to the eyes of one anothers'. Fathers lift eyes to Mothers; Mothers to Fathers; parents to children, children to parents; teachers to students and students to teachers; customers to cashiers; bosses to staff and visa versa, and so on.
The eyes look for direction and guidance; they look for approval or disapproval; they look for love and affection. There could be hate and bitterness and unforgiveness too. There's so much that eyes convey.
At this time, our eyes look to You, Father, we lift them up to You for Your mercy. OH, how we need it! We need it for ourselves, upon the whole world in general and upon each country in turn, at this ongoing militant mutating COVID-19 virus epoch. How it is decimating the populace of Earth!
Our eyes grow so faint and burn, looking up to You, LORD, for Your mercy. Our souls have had enough of this virus. So many souls lost to eternal destruction and not with Christ.
Suffering.
Sadness.
Sorrow.
Look down and see, Father.
Have mercy upon us, oh Father God; even upon those who are proud; or have been, until this virus plague has come upon all mankind. Yes, pride and rebellion is still alive and festering in many places. We look to You for Your mercy, nevertheless. May Your mercy and goodness humble them and turn their eyes to You.
You are enthroned in the heavens, in control. Have mercy upon us. Our eyes, look up, aloft to Yours and ask it.
We beseech You in Jesus' Name.
