Exercise Faith

Then Jesus spoke, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ ‘Rabbuni,’ the blind man said to him ‘Master, let me see again.’ 
Mk.10:51

Persistent shouting from the blind beggar Bartimaeus earns him an audience with Jesus. He asks Jesus for a miracle healing and his faith in Jesus earns the miracle.

Why would Jesus ask a blind beggar what it is he wants? Is it not obvious? Yes, his blindness is obvious, but his faith is not. It was faith Jesus was looking for. "Go, your faith has saved you", says Jesus to Bartimaeus and immediately his sight is restored. 

It is good to name what is needed as this exercises faith. From faith comes miracles. I'm praying in faith for healing for a friend with multiple stage four cancers. 

Lord Jesus, you raised Lazarus from the dead. You can heal my friend, for your glory.
Bartimaeus, please pray for us.
