Loving Father,

I come before You with a heart full of faith, just like the blind man in Luke 18:35–43.

He cried out to You, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Today, I echo those words, seeking Your mercy and grace in my life.

Lord, like the blind man, I am in need of Your healing touch. Just as Jesus asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?”

I bring my needs before You, knowing that You are the source of all healing and restoration. Please, grant me strength, courage, and guidance as I face my challenges.

I recognize, God, that my vision might be clouded at times, just as the blind man’s sight was restored by his faith in You.

Help me see through the lens of Your love, to discern Your will in my life and to recognize the beauty and purpose in every step I take.

Father, let my faith be steady, just as the blind man’s faith moved him to follow Jesus, glorifying You. Help me to trust in Your timing and to persevere in prayer, knowing that You hear every plea of my heart.

May I, like the blind man, respond to Your blessings with gratitude and praise.

Let my life be a testimony to Your goodness and mercy, just as he “followed Him, glorifying God.”

Thank You for being the God who hears, heals, and restores. May Your love continue to guide me, and may my faith in You grow stronger each day.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
