But the people of Israel have broken their covenant with you, torn down your altars, and killed every one of your prophets. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me, too.”11 “Go out and stand before me on the mountain,” the Lord told him. 1 Kings 19:8-11a NLT22 When [Jesus and the disciples] arrived at Bethsaida, some people brought a blind man to Jesus, and they begged him to touch the man and heal him. 23 Jesus took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village. Then, spitting on the man’s eyes, he laid his hands on him and asked, “Can you see anything now?”24 The man looked around. “Yes,” he said, “I see people, but I can’t see them very clearly. They look like trees walking around.”25 Then Jesus placed his hands on the man’s eyes again, and his eyes were opened. His sight was completely restored, and he could see everything clearly. 26 Jesus sent him away, saying, “Don’t go back into the village on your way home.”Mark 8:22-26 (NLT)Music track: At Dawn by PufinoSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree Background Music for Video

You have told me, ‘I know you by name, and I look favorably on you.’ 13 If it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue to enjoy your favor. And remember that this nation is your very own people.”14 The Lord replied, “I will personally go with you, Moses, and I will give you rest—everything will be fine for you.”15 Then Moses said, “If you don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place. 16 How will anyone know that you look favorably on me—on me and on your people—if you don’t go with us? For your presence among us sets your people and me apart from all other people on the earth.”Exodus 33:12-16 NLT21 When my heart was grieved
    and my spirit embittered,22 I was senseless and ignorant;
    I was a brute beast before you.23 Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.24 You guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will take me into glory.25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength of my heart
    and my portion forever.Psalm 73:21-26 NIVMusic track: Tranquility by Project ExSource: https://freetouse.com/musicFree No Copyright Music Download

    with my whole heart, I will praise his holy name.2 Let all that I am praise the Lord;
    may I never forget the good things he does for me.3 He forgives all my sins
    and heals all my diseases.4 He redeems me from death
    and crowns me with love and tender mercies.5 He fills my life with good things.
    My youth is renewed like the eagle’s!6 The Lord gives righteousness
    and justice to all who are treated unfairly.7 He revealed his character to Moses
    and his deeds to the people of Israel.8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
    slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.9 He will not constantly accuse us,
    nor remain angry forever.10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
    he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
    is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.12 He has removed our sins as far from us
    as the east is from the west.13 The Lord is like a father to his children,
    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.~Psalm 103:1-13 NLT~Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/skygaze/slow-liftLicense code: 8Z8ZCYNTLPBZAW0D
