Calling for help

Don’t stay far away, Lord! My strength comes from you, so hurry and help. ~ Psalm 22:19 (CEV)

When he (the blind man named Bartimaeus) heard that it was Jesus from Nazareth, he shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, have pity on me!” Many people told the man to stop, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, have pity on me!” ~ Mark 10:47b-48 (CEV)
Lord, do you ever get tired of us calling out to you? I don't think so. You always seem to respond to calls for help. I admit, though, that sometimes you don't respond in the way that I want you to respond. That actually makes sense. You're God. You can see the whole situation better than I can see it. So thank you for responding appropriately. Help me to stay encouraged even when things do not happen the way that I think they should. And I am going to continue to look to you for help. Amen.
