0:05.7	So I'm chapter 119, verse 37, turn my eyes from looking at worthless things and give me life
0:12.4	in your ways. I went a good verse. I was putting our 16-month-old to bed the other night and a 10-year-old
0:21.1	came in and as we often do, I just said, hey buddy, how about a verse we can pray over mercy
0:28.0	as we put it to bed and this is the verse that he shared. So I'm 119, verse 37, turn my eyes
0:34.7	from looking at worthless things and give me life in your ways. I just prayed that over
0:40.4	little mercy as well as our own lives that we would turn our eyes away that she throughout her life.
0:48.0	My 10-year-old that I would turn our eyes away from looking at worthless things and that we would

1:39.0	we pray. Turn our eyes from worthless things. Help us to fix our eyes on worthy things, on your
1:48.2	word, on what matters most in the world. Turn our eyes toward looking at that which is pure
1:54.3	and right and excellent and praise worthy. God repaid that that is where our eyes would be turned
2:01.1	all day today. In this, oh God, we pray that you would help us to turn our eyes to you,
2:06.0	to the one who alone is worthy. God help us to live with our eyes fixed on you. Help us to do
2:13.2	Hebrews 12. Fix our eyes on Jesus today. The author, the perfect of our faith. God help us to keep
2:20.1	our eyes fixed on you all day long and we pray that you would give us life as we do. Give us life
2:26.5	in your ways, in your word and that which is worthy of our attention, of our focus, of our eyes.
