More from the “Seeds of David”: Noticer of the Little things
It’s good to pray at the start of the day to be a good looker, watcher, to see what is pointed out to you during the day—things that will make a difference; to catch a problem before it becomes one. But if something gets by and a hurt occurs from something that you weren’t aware of, well praise the Lord for the maturity it does bring. Little hurts have a way of teaching. So these can be useful tools at times to get you to think more soberly and so forth. 
But pray to be on the right channel, and more good can come and less accidents. For example, if we try to bring to your attention a nail on the ground to pick up, that’s easier for us then to have to constantly keep all your feet all day, day after day, off of that nail. Just a little pick up of something in a moment of being in tune, can make our job easier and your day safer too. Of course the Lord could just delete that nail, and that can happen too, or transform it. But this is a lesson on praying to notice, and so things can go as easy as possible and faster progress in the right direction can be made today.
