When the Vision Breaks

I broke all my glasses recently.
And at first, it just felt like an inconvenience, a natural sign of something ending.
But as I walked around, limited, unable to read or function clearly, something began to stir deeper:
This is what it feels like to live without God’s perspective.
This is what it’s like to move through life without clarity of vision.
You’re not blind, but you’re not fully seeing either.
A Sign of Ending and Beginning
Breaking those glasses wasn’t just frustrating. It was prophetic.
Sometimes in life, God will allow something to shatter, not to punish you, but to signal a shift.
An old lens.
An outdated view.
A season you can no longer navigate with old clarity.
The old lens was enough for the last season…
But it’s inadequate for where you’re going.
Vision Without Alignment Is Just Sight
You can look, but without God’s vision, you can’t discern.
You might be walking, but you’re second-guessing everything.
You might be talking, posting, showing up… but it’s fuzzy.
You can’t see the bigger picture.
That’s when the Holy Spirit gently says:
“You need my lens again.”
Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no vision, the people perish.”
Not a sight.
No vision.
No divine perspective.
No revelation of what God is doing.
We become vulnerable, stagnant, and reactive when all along, God is ready to give clarity.
My Prayer in This Waiting Season
Heavenly Father, I don’t just want new glasses, I want new vision.
Upgrade my perspective. Remove the residue of old mindsets.
Help me stop trying to function in fuzziness.
I want to see what you see, fully, prophetically.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
The broken glasses weren’t the problem; they were the invitation.
An invitation to wait for clarity, not walk in on assumption.
To stop surviving in blur… and start thriving in vision.
