Daily Hope with Pastor Rick Warren
Weekdays from 6:30pm
To regain your vision, take time to listen for God’s call as you slow down and focus on him. Bartimaeus, a blind man, teaches us the importance of being clear with God about our desires. He simply said, “Lord, I want to see” (Luke 18:41 NIV). Jesus responded immediately, showing that sometimes, all it takes is a straightforward request and unwavering faith.
Bartimaeus shows us that we receive our vision through faith. Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight; your faith has healed you” (Luke 18:42 NIV). As Pastor Rick explains, to receive and maintain your vision, you must stay on the path with Jesus, like Bartimaeus did.
Don’t believe everything you think—because not all thoughts are true. What you allow into your mind affects your stress, success, and stability. So guard your mind carefully.
