In perfect focus

Mark Swinney

A lot of cameras have something called autofocus. When you point the camera at an object, the camera automatically brings a fuzzy image into clear view.

So if you looked through the lens of your camera at a flower and you saw a fuzzy image, you would never try to change the flower. All you’d need to do is change the focus.

In sort of a similar way, when you’re praying, you can depend on God to change your view of things. God is good, made everything good, and keeps everything good. When you ask God to help you see that goodness, this prayer gives you a clear picture of what is actually present.
