Mark 10:46-52
46 As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. 47 On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” 48 And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he kept calling out all the more, “Son of David, have pity on me.” 49 Jesus stopped and said, “Call him.” So they called the blind man, saying to him, “Take courage; get up, he is calling you.” 50 He threw aside his cloak, sprang up, and came to Jesus. 51 Jesus said to him in reply, “What do you want me to do for you?” The blind man replied to him, “Master, I want to see.” 52 Jesus told him, “Go your way; your faith has saved you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.
Reflection
God knows our needs even before we ask but He wants to hear it from our own mouth. This is how the Lord looks upon our faith. We have the courage to ask the Lord for healing, blessings, and miracles because we believe in Him as the source of all things and we trust in Him that we will receive anything we ask for in His Name.
Prayer
Lord, I claim the mighty power of your words today. You asked, "what do you want me to do for you"? Like Bartimaeus, I humbly reply with utmost faith, "Master, I want to see".
I want to see that complete healing of all infimities be upon me and to those who are sick. I want to see your abundant blessings be poured on my lap without measure and overflowing.
In faith I believe that as I go my way, you will always be my Savior.
