If you pray for yourself in the right way every day, you will find that the minor things of life will gradually fall correctly into place of their own accord without any trouble on your part. Contrast this with the usual method of trying to get everything right by separately organizing a thousand petty details, and you will appreciate how wonderfully the new spiritual basis sets you free. If therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light (Matthew 6:22).
The eye symbolizes spiritual perception. Whatever you give your attention to, is the thing that governs your life. Attention is the key. Your free will lies in the directing of your attention. Whatever you steadfastly direct your attention to, will come into your life and dominate it. If you do not direct your attention consistently to anything in particular—and many people do not—then nothing in particular will come into your life except uncertainty and suspense.
If the Glory of God comes first with you, and to express His Will becomes the rule of your life, then your eye is single and your whole body, or embodiment, will be full of light.
As we focus inwardly on our darkness during Lent, we await the coming of the light at Easter. Yet, even with the light, we must have our eyes open and focused to see it. Just as with the light, we must also focus our eyes on the darkness that remains within. For only when we recognize the dark, can we truly experience the light.
So today, let us focus our eye singly upon the coming light and the darkness that will fade upon it arrival.
In focus,
