Dear Jesus,

Please help me. I need you. Circumstances seem out of control, and with all the voices shouting at me, I am struggling to focus on you alone. I cry out to you today because your name is above every other name.

I want to be like Bartimaeus and not be afraid to call on you in the midst of the crowds. When I say the name, “Jesus,” the enemy trembles. He is no match for you, the King of Kings and giver of mercy and grace. You bring hope to my hurt and healing to my weary soul.

Help me get rid of distractions and break down barriers between us as I focus on you. Romans 10:13 promises, “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Thank you Jesus for this undeniable truth! Thank you for caring about me and hearing me when I pray.

Praise your powerful name, Amen.
