Jesus stopped and called them. “What do you want me to do for you?”

Matthew 20:32

“Our need is obvious, Jesus? Don’t you see we are blind? What else do you think we need, but to see?”

These could be possible questions from the two Jericho blind men to Jesus (Matt. 20;29-34). Their need was obvious to everyone, except Jesus; or so it seemed. Otherwise, why would Jesus ask such a seemingly ridiculous question, “What do you want me to do for you” (32).
Make no mistake about this. God knows your needs, my friend. He is Omniscient. He knows what you need more than yourself. Yet, He wants you to tell Him about it; and that is the essence of prayer.
Prayer is dialoguing with God about how He wants your life, as well as that of others, to be lived each day. Because He gives you the lease to live each for His glory, He sets the purpose for the day, the pathway to accomplish it, the conditions and challenges on the road, and what you need to make it through the day. He reveals these essentials in prayer. That’s how you find what is good for you, and to get our desires met. You grow and mature as you allow the Lord to make the right decisions and choices for you in prayer.
Jesus challenged the two blind men’s faith with His question, “What do you want me to do for you?” He asked. In other words, “What do you know about me and what makes you think I can do what you seek from me.”
In prayer, God seeks the same from us. Do we really know Him? Do we know what delights His heart? Is that what we seek? Do we trust His mercy and faithfulness?

The blind men may not have had full knowledge about Jesus at that time. However, they knew enough to call Him Son of David (30). They were willing and ready to submit to Jesus, so they called Him, “Lord.” They trusted in His kindness and ability to heal them, so they stated their need bluntly. 
“Lord,” they answered. “We want our sight” (33). 
They touched the compassionate heart of Jesus. He gave them their sight. They followed Him. 
That’s what God expects from us in prayer – faith with the right attitude. A willing and ready heart to follow Him, and to use what He gives us for His glory, will always put us on His right side (cf. James 4:2-3).
Is that your heart in prayer today? 

Shalom.
