Asking Jesus for What We Want

/

In yesterday’s message, David looked at two back-to-back Bible stories in which Jesus says,

What do you want me to do for you?

David offered this chart to compare the two stories (from Mark 10:35-52).

The major takeaway from this story is that no matter what we desire, and no matter our approach, Jesus takes us and our desires seriously. He may redirect our desires towards some good fulfillment that’s in line with his values. Or he may help bring about exactly what we have in mind. But in either case, there are some very valuable lessons we learn when we bring our desires before God and listen for God’s voice.

Suggested Prayer: “Jesus, help me know what I want. Give me courage to name what I want before you.”
