Saturday, April 16 — Psalm 50:16–23
Leviticus 11:29–13:8; Mark 4:1–20
But you, O Lord, do not be far from me; O my Strength, hasten to help me! Psalm 22:19 (NKJV)
Bartimaeus, a blind beggar, began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” Mark 10:47–48
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on our blindness! Forgive our failure to see those who need our help and our ignorance to the sufferings of those around us. We cry out for strength and sight. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us! Amen.
