BONUS-DAILY BREAD SHARE OF THE DAY
Be Specific
Today’s reading: Mark 10:46-52
On the day before a major surgery, I shared with my friend that I was really scared about the procedure.
“What part scares you?” she inquired. “I’m just so afraid that I won’t wake up from the anesthesia,” I replied.
Immediately, Anne prayed: “Father, you know all about Cindy’s fear. Please calm her heart and fill her with Your peace. And, Lord, please wake her up after surgery.”

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL We're always in God's hands...
..."I think God likes that kind of specificity when we talk to Him. When Bartimaeus, the blind beggar, called out to Jesus for help, Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” And the blind man said, “My Rabbi . . . I want to see!” Jesus said, “Go, for your faith has healed you” (MARK 10:51–52).
We don’t need to beat around the bush with God. While there may be a time to pray poetically as David did, there are also times to say bluntly, “God, I’m so sorry for what I just said,” or to say simply, “Jesus, I love You because . . . .” Being specific with God can even be a sign of faith because we are acknowledging that we know we’re not talking to a far-off Being but to a real Person who loves us intimately.
God is not impressed by a flurry of fanciful words. He is listening for what our heart is saying.
