John 9

John 9 - Only the Lord can open the eyes of the blind. Only His Spirit in our lives can first open our own eyes and then hopefully those of others, whom God wills. Religion creates fear in people and seemingly pride, according the the other verses in the chapter. God cannot help someone see, who does not WANT to see. The prayer is to always be open to the leading of God's Spirit, and not closed off to what He is doing in my life.

32 Ever since the world began, no one has been able to open the eyes of someone born blind. 33 If this man were not from God, he couldn’t have done it.” 39 Then Jesus told him,[d] “I entered this world to render judgment—to give sight to the blind and to show those who think they see[e] that they are blind.”
