Day Five: A Prayer for Breakthrough

Over the few days, we have walked through the amazing story of Jesus giving Bartimaeus sight. We have seen in Bartimaeus a blueprint on how to pray breakthrough prayers:

• Persistence when people tried to silence him.

• Specificity when Jesus asked him what he wanted.

• Faith in the One who could make it happen.

Now it’s your turn! Below is a prayer you can pray today. Make it your own. Declare it in faith. Pray it like breakthrough is on the way—because I believe it is!

A Breakthrough Prayer:

Jesus, I believe You’re the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are not just a good man—You are God! And I believe You hear me when I call on Your name. So today, I call on your name Jesus. I’m coming to You not with performance, but with persistence. Not with perfection, but with desperation.

Jesus, here’s what I need: [Insert your specific request here]

I’m not afraid to ask boldly, because I know You are able. You are my healer, my restorer, my provider. You are a miracle worker. And, I trust you completely!

Even if I have to ask again and again…Even if I have to cry through the crowd…I will not stop calling on Your name Jesus. I believe my breakthrough is closer than I think. I believe You are near. And I believe that something shifts when I call on Your name.

So today, I pray…In the mighty, miracle-working, chain breaking, matchless name of Jesus—Amen.
