And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God.
(Luke 18:40-43 ESV)
As the blind man had cried out to Him in faith, Jesus stopped what He was doing and interacted with the man. He was ready to hear what the man was requesting, just as He is ready to hear our requests. The man got to the core of the matter. He did not ask for riches so he would no longer have to beg; he asked to be fixed, repaired. Prayer is not asking God to fix our situation as much as it is asking God to fix us. Are we ready to be repaired?
