Last week we talked about extraordinary prayer. Taking what is ordinary prayer to you and adding something extra. This week we get to see that “extra” prayer does not necessitate time. We encountered blind Bartimaeus in our bibles today. As so many others we have already read about, his prayer is not one of length or many words, but of desperation and faith. “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” was his cry. He approached with humility and confidence.
