Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute

27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”

28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”

“Yes, Lord,” they replied.

29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”; 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.” 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.

Matthew 9:29            28.4.20


Mornin' Lord

I'm struggling today.

This Bible verse

Kinda difficult, what do you say?


You healed the blind men

Two to be exact

Said ' as your faith let it be done'

And they saw!! For a fact.


Does that mean

That it's dependent on me

That the outcome is

Solely according to my belief?


There are many times

When prayers go unanswered

Sick not healed

Faith begins to falter.


You also talked 

About a mustard seed

That it'd move mountains

And that's ALL the faith I need.


You've sure got

A sense of humour, Lord

Mustard seed and mountain

Now that's far out.


How do you measure faith?

Size or weight?

Is it all in the mind

What do you say?


We've all got problems

No dodging that

Some big some small

Things that put us in a flap.


I'm searching Lord

willing to hear you out

Do some have more faith? 

And others, a bit more doubt? 


You know why, I doubt

Because many times

The mountain didn't move

The dead didn't come to life.

The circumstance didn't change

The mess didn't resolve

The sickness got worse

And sometimes ended in grief and loss. 


Do you have favourites? 

Some receive 

Just as 

Their pleas?


Is it blind faith? 

Have we brainwashed ourselves? 

Is it our life jacket?

To keep us from drowning in the waves? 


But I go to Your Word

Which says You are unfailing

Though things look bleak

You are still working. 


So I take my doubts

Confusion and questions

Give it to you

To give me a solution. 


You entertained Thomas

Can I then doubt? 

That Your unceasing grace

Will run out? 


You know my mind

What sheer relief

I can lay down my defenses

Just be me. 


So I rest in Your word

Trust in Your plans

'Cause you see the big picture

Far above my myopic glance


So like the disciples

I confess and plead

'Lord, I believe

Help my unbelief'
