EyeInspireYou December Focus:
“Open My Eyes. Guard My Heart. Keep Me Holy.”
Scripture Focus: 2 Kings 6:8–23
Some of you walked into December tired. Not just tired physically, tired from pressure you cannot fully explain. A job gets snatched.
Your name gets dragged. A rumor spreads faster than the truth.
You get punished for standing on convictions. You feel watched, targeted, and surrounded.
In 2 Kings 6, the enemy tried to surround God’s people with fear. But God answered with perspective.
• The enemy made plans to trap Israel, but God kept exposing the plans to Elisha.
• The king got angry and sent a whole army to surround Elisha in Dothan.
• Elisha’s servant panicked because it looked like they were outnumbered.
• Elisha basically says: “Do not fear. There is more with us than with them.”
• God opened the servant’s eyes and he saw God’s protection that was there all along.
• Then God confused the enemy (they could not see clearly), and Elisha led them away.
• Instead of revenge, Elisha told the king to feed them and release them.
• Result: the attacks stopped for a season.
What this means for us in 2025
Sometimes what feels like a “demonic attack” is the enemy using a familiar toolbox: fear, confusion, shame, division, and intimidation. The goal is always the same. Get you to abandon your peace, your purpose, and your holiness.
But this passage teaches three December truths:
1) Just because you feel surrounded does not mean you are unprotected.
You can be under pressure and still be covered.
2) Fear is usually a vision problem before it is a faith problem.
Pray what Elisha prayed: “Lord, open my eyes.” Not “Lord, make me panic-proof.”
Peace comes when God corrects what you think you are seeing.
3) Holiness is not weakness. Holiness is warfare.
When you keep your character, keep your mouth clean, keep your heart pure, and keep your hands honest, you are not “missing out.” You are staying aligned.
Say it with me: Holiness lifestyle is the right way.
December declaration (save this)
• God, open my eyes to Your protection.
• God, close every door that fear is using.
• God, cover my home, my mind, and my name.
• God, help me stay clean when people go low.
• I will not trade holiness for popularity.
• I will not trade peace for clout.
Short prayer:
Lord Jesus, in this month of December, open my eyes. Strengthen my heart. Protect me from violence, from confusion, from rumors, and from every plan meant to break me. Help me respond with wisdom, not panic. Help me stay holy, steady, and focused. In Jesus’ Name, Amen!!!
