Mark 10:46-52
1. Ask Immediately. (47)
Too often, prayer is not our first option.
We only ask when we get desperate and don't know where else to turn.
Matthew 7:7 This is not a one-time request; it's a continual prayer.
2. Ask Defiantly. (48)
You sometimes have to defy those around you and ask anyway.
We must make sure that in our defiant prayer that our defiance is not against God.
3. Ask Specifically. (51)
a. Bartimaeus knew exactly what he wanted
b. Bartimaeus asked for it all.
The act of asking demonstrates your faith.
The real benefit Bartimaeus received that day was that he got to follow Jesus.
