Let Me See

“Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are… for all the land that you see I will give to you.”
— Genesis 13:14–15

Within each of us, there are dreams God has planted like seeds. Seeds that need care, patience, and attention.

Many times, we make lists of goals, new habits, and intentions to pursue—and we leave them there… on paper. As if thinking about them or writing them down were enough. But dreams don’t grow on their own.

Our Creator knows us so well that He understands we need help and constant reminders to keep moving toward what He has prepared for us.

That’s why learning to listen to His voice—and to recognize it in the midst of all the emotional noise that surrounds us every day—is so important.

Last year, there was one word that became like a pillar for me, like an anchor that held me steady as I continued to believe and move forward:
“As far as your eyes can see.”

That’s what He said to me. When I asked Him for something for the new year, I didn’t receive a magic formula or a step-by-step plan. There wasn’t anything supernatural that suddenly changed everything around me. And then I understood something important: His dreams are vast. His plans are endless. They don’t end with the calendar.

Everything depended on one question: How far can I see?

Over the years, and as I’ve come to know Him more deeply, my vision of life has widened. I no longer carry some of the limits I once had—those that kept me from seeing His greatness. I’ve learned to walk with confidence in Him and in His voice.

Even when it seems like I go backward and lose everything I’ve gained, today I know it’s easier to begin again—or to continue from where I left off. Because my God has no limits: not of time, not of space, not of resources.

So my prayer for this 2026 is simple and profound: Let me see.
What should I plant? How should I care for those seeds? What is preventing them from growing? Let me see what You see.

As this new year begins, I encourage you to pray the same way: LET ME SEE.

May you treasure the seeds He has placed before you, plant them in the fertile soil of your heart, and care for them faithfully. I know we will see them bloom. 

Happy season🌱

Living each season, walking at His pace
