“Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’” — Mark 10:48
Have you ever felt like giving up on prayer? Like your cries to God are falling on deaf ears? That maybe God isn’t listening, or worse—maybe He doesn’t care?
That’s exactly what Bartimaeus could have felt in Mark 10. He was blind, desperate, and sitting by the roadside when he heard Jesus was passing by. This was his chance. So he cried out, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” But instead of support, he was met with rebuke. The crowd told him to be quiet, to stay in his place, to stop disturbing the Master.
But Bartimaeus refused to be silenced. He shouted even louder.
And that, right there, is the key: when life tells you to give up, when the devil whispers that your prayers are useless—shout all the more.
Many are quietly suffering because they’ve allowed discouragement to silence their faith. But not Bartimaeus. He kept his eyes on Jesus (even without sight), and through persistence and faith, a miracle happened. Jesus stopped, called him over, and restored his sight.
If Jesus could stop everything for a blind man on the side of the road, He can stop for you too.
So don’t stop praying. Don’t stop hoping. Don’t let doubt or delay mute your voice. Shout all the more—and watch what God will do.
