Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Prayer – Mark 10:51-52 – What Do You Want Me To Do?- Growing As Disciples

“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.” “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Mark 10:51-52 (NIV)

Want?

What do you want me to do for you? That’s a good question. I’m not sure what I want you to do for me. How will you be able to ask me for what you want if you don’t even know what you want? I can see the problem. Let me start with what I know I want right now. I want to know you. I want to love, follow, and serve you. I want to live my life passionately for you. I want to be on fire for you. I want to shine brightly for you as your witness in the world. I want to do what pleases you. I want to do the good works that you have prepared in advance for me to do for you. When I say that I don’t know what I want, these things are not in question. I am certain that I want all of these things. That is very good.

Can I ask what you want for me? Yes, you can ask that question. You can ask me any question. My answer won’t surprise you. Why is that? The things that you want are what I want for you. Let me ask you a question. Go ahead, I’m listening. If you had everything that you were certain you wanted from me would that be enough for you? Having all that I am certain I want from you would be more than enough for me. I would want or need nothing else. I would be completely satisfied both now and forever. There is something else that I want from you. What’s that? I want you to come to ask me for all that you want and need. Ask me for these things you know you want now. Ask me for all that you will need as you live your life with and for me.

Will you come to ask me for all that you want? Will you ask me specifically for all that you need? Yes Lord, I will come to ask you for all I want and need. What do you want to ask me for right now? I want to ask you to help me to know, love, follow and serve you. I want to ask you to set me on fire for you so I can passionately serve you as a bright and shinning witness in the world. I want to ask you to help me to know and do what pleases you. I want to ask you to make me able to do the good works that you have prepared in advance for me to do for you. I want you to help me to bear fruit for your kingdom and bring glory to your name. Most of all I want to live in a close and intimate relationship with you. I am now asking you for all these things. These are all excellent prayers. Do you believe that I will hear and answer all these prayers of yours? Yes Lord, I believe that you will hear and answer all these prayers of mine. That’s very good. I will.

Lord, my prayers have been so general. Sometimes I’m not even sure what I was asking you to do for me. Teach me how to pray by asking you for specifically what I need. When you meet my specific need I will know you have heard and answered my prayer. Amen

Key Question… What are some specific needs you would like to make known to the Lord right now?

Living It Out… Cry out to the Lord in prayer to make your specific needs known to Him.

Seeing It Happen… Have faith to keep on praying for the Lord to meet your specific needs.

Discipleship Devotional Study Guide – Promises – Day 300 – Mark 10:51-52 – What Do You Want Me To Do For You? – Growing As Disciples

“What do you want me to do for you?” Jesus asked him. The blind man said, “Rabbi, I want to see.”  “Go,” said Jesus, “your faith has healed you.” Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road. Mark 10:51-52 (NIV)

What Do You Want?

Should I ask you that very same question? What question? What do you want me to do for you? I’d like that. Well, consider that question as being asked of you, not just today, but every day. What does that mean? It means I am always ready and willing and able to hear and answer your prayers. Equally important questions are, “Are you ready and willing and able to pray prayers to me?” Will you tell me what you want and need? Do you believe that I will hear and answer your prayers? Will you pray faith filled prayers to me as you walk through life? Will you live your life in an ongoing dialogue of prayer with me? Before you answer, consider the alternatives. What are the alternatives? You tell me. The alternatives would be the opposite, I suppose. Let me hear you say them out loud. I could seldom or hardly ever make my wants and needs known to you. I could try to solve my own problems and meet my own needs. I could rely entirely on my own power and strength. I could follow my own counsel and live by my own rules. I could walk on a path that led away from you rather than toward you. I could have a distant or nonexistent relationship with you. I could never expect that you would hear and answer my prayers. I could on rare and desperate occasions cry out to you with doubt filled prayers for which I could rightfully expect nothing in return. How do all these alternatives sound to you? I don’t want to live a life that is distant from you. I want to live and walk through life with you. I want to follow you to where you lead me. I want to do whatever you ask of me. I want to have an intimate relationship with you. I want to pray faith filled prayers that you will hear and answer. I want to make all my needs known to you. Will you do that? Yes Lord, I will. That will be very good. I will hear and answer your prayers as you make your wants and needs known to me. Thank you, Lord. 

Lord, I know I have not often asked you for what I need. At least, not nearly enough, I’m sure. That is changing. Now, I will passionately and persistently, with a heart filled with faith, make my needs known to you. Thank you for answering my prayers. Amen

Key Question…  How passionately and persistently are you making your needs known to the Lord?

Living It Out…  Keep on passionately and persistently making your faith filled prayers known to the Lord for what you need from Him.

Seeing It Happen…  Have faith that the Lord will hear and answer your faith filled prayers to Him.

Get Ready To Share…  Share with another person or your small group how the Lord has heard and answered your prayers.

Prayer To Bless Others…  May you, with a heart filled with faith, ask the Lord for what you need from Him.
