I Lift Up My Eyes

An Asian woman rests her chin on her hand and lifts her eyes upward, her posture held in quiet reflection before God. The dark surrounding space draws attention to her face, where expectation and contemplation meet in a devotional moment. The subject aligns closely with Psalm 123:1: “To you I lift up my eyes, O you who are enthroned in the heavens.” Rather than depicting a narrative event, the artwork visualizes the psalmist’s inward movement of faith—turning attention away from earthly uncertainty and toward the Lord’s rule, mercy, and help. This image serves well for themes of prayer, waiting on God, spiritual reflection, women’s ministry, counseling, devotionals, and worship materials centered on trust and upward dependence. by Stan Myers
