Mark 10:51-52
Mark 10:51-52 is the healing of blind Bartimaeus. “What do you want Me to do for you?” Jesus asked. “Rabboni,” said the blind man, “let me see again.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.
Lord Jesus, You asked the blind man, “What do you want Me to do for you?” You are asking me too. Help me tell You honestly what I need, and then follow You along the road. Amen.

— Mark 10:51-52
As Jesus and His disciples are leaving Jericho with a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, is sitting beside the road. When he hears that it is Jesus of Nazareth, he begins to cry out for mercy, calling Him the Son of David. Many people tell him to be silent, but he cries out all the louder. Jesus stops and says, “Call him.” The people tell the blind man to take courage and get up, because Jesus is calling for him. Throwing off his cloak, Bartimaeus jumps up and comes to Jesus. Jesus asks him what he wants, and he answers plainly that he wants to see again. Jesus tells him his faith has healed him. He receives his sight immediately and follows Jesus along the road. It is a prayer for anyone who needs to bring Jesus an honest request, and then keep walking with Him.
