How consistent and determined are we to ask God for something? Sometimes we ask God for something and we do not get it straight away, what happens? Some of us may begin to pout and throw a tantrum, demanding that God answers our request. But more often than not, God does not seem to give us what we want, even when we are behaving in this way, then what happens? Some us may give up, thinking that God would not listen to us anyway; some of us may be tempted to seek other forms of help; but how many of us are willing to patiently, persistently and consistently ask God for help?
In today's Gospel, we come across the blind man who wanted Jesus to heal him. The blind man said: "Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me." Even though people in front scolded him and told him to keep quiet, he shouted all the louder, "Son of David, have pity on me." Eventually, the blind man was healed, because he had faith in Jesus. What about us? Do we have faith in Jesus like the blind man has? Are we willing to be patient, persistent and consistent in asking Jesus for help? May we not be so easily defeated but persevere and trust in God, knowing that He will do what is best for us.
