Know What You Ask of Jesus
Commentators, particularly Charles Spurgeon, highlight that Jesus's question wasn't because He lacked knowledge, but for the man's benefit. By asking "What do you want me to do for you?", Jesus prompts us to articulate our needs clearly. This act of defining our request helps us feel our need more deeply, focus our faith, and clearly recognize God's answer when it arrives. The man's simple, direct answer is a model for specific, faith-filled prayer.
