Read Matthew 19-21
Matthew 20:32 says, "And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?" Jesus was talking to the two blind men who created a ruckus as He passed by. They were yelling for mercy and the crowd was trying to get them to hush.
Jesus would have known that they were blind. But when they were shouting, they asked for mercy rather than their eyesight. Once Jesus addressed them, He asked them what they wanted, and they said for their eyes to be opened. That’s when Jesus healed their blindness.
God knows what we need and what we want. He knows the things we hardly dare dream of, let alone ask for. When what we ask for is mercy and for our eyes to be opened, that’s what the Lord desires for us to want. He will take care of those other things when we focus on letting God make us more Christ-like. Our one wish won’t be wasted.
