“A blind man was brought to Jesus, and they begged Him to touch him.” Mark 8:22

When we go before the Lord in prayer, do we “beg” Jesus to touch our sick or handicapped? These people didn’t wish Jesus would heal their blind friend, they expected it! They were so confident that Jesus could heal, they only spent their energy persuading Him so that He would heal. When we are captured by the present reality of Jesus’ rule and reign, our expectations are greatly elevated.

Don’t expect the worst. Expect Jesus to be sovereign over everything, even death.
