They Followed

"Lord," they said, "we want to see!" Jesus felt sorry for them and touched their eyes. Instantly they could see! Then they followed him. (Matthew 20:33-34 NLT)

Today's prayer topics:

• Sense these guys intensity. "Have mercy on us." The crowd stifles them. They shout louder, "Lord, have mercy on us." Pray today with that same intensity and see what happens.
• Jesus responded to their passion with compassion, giving them vision and so much more. Pray the prayer: "We want to see."
• Following Jesus is the natural response to his compassionate answer to prayer. Pray we follow closely, using our new vision to see what he sees and to do what he does. 
• Pray for us at Emmanuel, for intensity in our asking, for clarity of vision, for obedience in our following.

Never give up unless its praise we give up to God; never give in except to give in to him.
