Prayer Changes Things
Discover more about the power of prayer as you read these 10 reflections from Our Daily Bread.
Be Specific
Today’s reading: Mark 10:46-52
On the day before a major surgery, I shared with my friend that I was really scared about the procedure.
“What part scares you?” she inquired. “I’m just so afraid that I won’t wake up from the anesthesia,” I replied.
Immediately, Anne prayed: “Father, you know all about Cindy’s fear. Please calm her heart and fill her with Your peace. And, Lord, please wake her up after surgery.”
I think God likes that kind of specificity when we talk to Him. When Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, called out to Jesus for help, Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said, “My Rabbi . . . I want to see!” Jesus said, “Go, for your faith has healed you” (MARK 10:51–52).
