DON'T HESITATE TO CALL

PSALM 130:1-2 (CEV)
Lord, I am in deep trouble,
   so I am calling to you for help.
My Lord, listen to me.

LUKE 18:38-39 (CEB)
The blind man shouted, “Jesus, Son of David, show me mercy.” Those leading the procession scolded him, telling him to be quiet, but he shouted even louder, “Son of David, show me mercy.”

SUMMARY SENTENCE
Don't hesitate to call out to God when you need help of any sort.

PRAYER
God, I really admire the blind man who ignored the crowd and persisted in calling out to Jesus. And I admire you for being so responsive and eager to extend mercy. Forgive me for worrying so much about what people think. I need boldness to own up to my weaknesses without apology. I'm going to trust that you'll have a warm and positive response. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
