As a former Special Education teacher, I had the privilege of working with visually impaired students. I was in awe of how God created them with heightened senses. Without sight, they rely on sound, touch, and smell more that those who are not blind. Some may rely on others to be their “eyes.”

The blind man sensed something different going on around him. At this point in Jesus’ ministry, people knew who he was and had heard of the miracles he had performed. When this man realized Jesus was in his midst, he couldn’t help but shout, “Jesus, have mercy on me!” He had faith that Jesus could heal him, and that’s exactly what happened.

My prayer for you today is that you have faith like the blind man. That undeniable faith that causes you to scream out above the crowds, “Jesus, have mercy on me!” Pray for faith that can move mountains today.
