Tonight's family reading · Kathu

Bartimaeus Shouts Louder — a 5-minute devotion for Kathu families

Mark 10:46-52 · Ask for what you actually want

A blind beggar heard Jesus was passing and started shouting. The crowd told him to be quiet, so he shouted louder. Jesus stopped the whole procession and asked him one question: what do you want me to do for you?

If mornings are the only quiet minutes your Kathu household gets, use this before the school run. Read Mark 10:46-52, say the verse once in the car, and come back to the question on the way home. Repetition is doing the work, not length.

Memory verse

“What do you want me to do for you?”
Mark 10:51

Table question

If Jesus asked you that tonight, what would you say?

30-second prayer

Jesus, here is what we actually want. Thank you that you stop and ask. Amen.

Make it stick: ask the same question again at breakfast tomorrow. Answers change overnight, and hearing that change is how a child learns that ask for what you actually want is something you practise, not something you know.

Tomorrow: the rich young ruler (Mark 10:17-27). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
