“If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” John 14:14
Our Lord Jesus, in spite of being the greatest of all, listens.
Jesus is really busy; in spite of this, the moment He hears the voice of any of His children, He stops everything else He is doing and pays rapt attention to him/her like He did for Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46-52
One thing to note is that, He listens to him alone at that particular time. Jesus could have asked all the blind people around that place to come together since He was about to heal the blind, but He called only Bartimaeus.
I want you to know that Jesus is never too busy to listen to you and you alone. The problem is that most of us don’t call on Him. These days, we talk more about prayers than we actually pray.
Psalm 34:15 says: “The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.”
Are you feeling discouraged and depressed? Talk to Jesus. Are you anxious about something? Talk to Jesus. Whatever it is, Talk to Jesus. He will leave everything else to listen to you; just talk to Him now.
Father, thank you for listening to me whenever I call IJN.
Shalom!
