Now that I have your attention with that title, let me define Hysterical Blindness.
"Hysterical Blindness, is a type of conversion disorder or psychological condition in which trauma from an injury or illness renders an individual unable to see temporarily."
There are many causes of this disorder, but most of them point to some type of anxiety or other psychological trauma that triggers temporary blindness. As Christian believers we MUST keep eternity in mind, in order to maintain our spiritual eyesight and balance. When we focus entirely on ourselves and most assuredly when we focus on a negative personal situation, those things become the greatest driving force in our lives. Concurrently, God's providence and daily influence in our life begins to shrivel. We have to consistently practice looking at all of life's circumstances through the lens of our faith. By doing this we will truly begin to understand that we are partakers of the FINISHED WORK of our God. We are delivered from any lingering entanglements and are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus, even while we presently sit in a painful situation! When the world diagnoses hysterical blindness, they often prescribe counseling, psychoanalysis, or hypnosis to address the emotional causes of the condition. A spiritual 'one-two' punch to a case of spiritual blindness or emotional turmoil is found in prayer and by serving others whose particular situation is worse or at times may even be equal to your own. There is a song that took the world by storm many years ago that simply says "open the eyes of my heart Lord, I want to see you." These lyrics are a great expression and serve as a spiritual barometer. You are VICTORIOUS right now because of Christ! There is absolutely NO-THING seen or unseen that can stop you from reaching your goal and realizing destiny. Be Encouraged and by all means continue to fight the good fight of faith!
With Love,
