When life feels uncertain, exhausting, or overwhelming, our instinct is often to stay quiet and hold it together. The blind man in Luke 18 shows us that real faith is found in honest desperation. In a world that pressures us to perform, compare, and self-manage, Jesus stops and asks a piercing question: “What do you want me to do for you?” On the other side of that courageous honesty is not just relief, but encounter, healing, and a calling to follow Him into the future.
