all eyes on jesus | the answer

Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.” “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked. Mark 10:35-36, NIV

James and John approach Jesus with a bold request: "Teacher, we want you to do for us whatever we ask." Jesus responds, "What do you want me to do for you?"

As we navigate the pressures, demands, uncertainties, joys, challenges, and celebrations that are all part of this extraordinary life we have been given, I am certain Jesus extends the same question to us: "What do you want me to do for you?" It is an invitation to open our hearts, reflect on our own needs, lay bare our deepest longings, and seek him.

It's easy to lose sight of the need for this personal encounter with Jesus. Yet, Jesus patiently waits for us to come to him and receive his boundless love, wisdom, comfort, and empowering.

What do you want Jesus to do for you today? Go ahead. Tell him. I guarantee he is listening.

Let’s pray
Above everything, Lord, I want to know you more. Thank you that I can ask for anything in your name and you will give it to me. Holy Spirit, inform my asking today. Amen.
