And that gives a clue to knowing which group you’re in. Those who know that they don’t see all that well but want to – these people pray. They pray in the midst of their doubts. They pray in the midst of their sins. They are aware of these failings in themselves. And that’s why they pray. They understand their need, their weakness. But there is something that they can see, not always so clearly, but well enough. They can see that Jesus has come for people like them. He has come to bless them with better sight. So, they pray. Oh, they don’t pray well. They can be so undisciplined in their praying. It’s off and on, new resolve and another failure. But when they do pray, they pray honest prayers. They pray like that father. They pray because they know that there is no hope for them apart from Jesus. In their weakness, they pray. These are the wheat, gathered by Jesus. These are the ones He will bless.
