So often we let the noise and commotion of our crowded lives distract us from Jesus' presence in our lives. Deep down, we know that we need time in his presence—time that comes from prayer and reading the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the New Testament). So let's intentionally cry out each day, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Let's invite Jesus into our busy lives. When we let all our distractions and responsibilities crowd Jesus out of our lives, let's shout louder! If the blind man in Jesus' day wouldn't be silenced until he came into the presence of Jesus, then we shouldn't settle for anything less today.
