A Prayer to Keep My Eyes Fixed on Jesus

Your Daily Prayer
About this episode

It’s easy to lean on Jesus when life is hard, but what about when things get easier? Here’s why keeping your eyes fixed on Christ in every season matters more than you might think. Keri Eichberger’s daily prayer and devotional remind us that both hardship and ease offer moments to grow closer to Jesus. While trials often deepen our dependence on Him, seasons of calm can tempt us to rely on ourselves. This devotional challenges us to guard our spiritual gaze—keeping it fixed on Christ, the true source of light, joy, and fulfillment.

Today's Prayer Leans on This Bible Verse: 📖 John 8:12“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

 Key Takeaways

  • Faith in hardship is powerful, but so is faithfulness in abundance.

  • When blessings come, don't lose sight of the One who brings them.

  • Intimacy with Jesus should be our constant, regardless of the season.

  • Keep your praise steady and your heart aware—Jesus is our light in all things.


📖 Scripture References

  • John 8:12 – Jesus is the Light of the World

  • Hebrews 12:2 – Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith

  • Psalm 119:105 – God's word is a lamp and light to our path

  • 2 Corinthians 4:6 – God shines in our hearts with the light of Christ
