Just ask

Chapter 20 of Matthew's gospel includes a story of two blind men begging Jesus to restore their sight. In verses 32-34 (KJV),

Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? They say unto him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Note that the two men didn't have to perform some task, or recite eloquent prayers, or even prove their righteousness. There merely had to ask Jesus!

Turning to Jeremiah 33:3 (KJV), we find a similar theme,

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.

Again, nothing complicated is required of us. Just "Call unto me."

In our prayers today, let us dispense with complicated words and attempts to prove our worthiness. Rather, let us earnestly ask God for spiritual sight!
