What do you want me to do for you?

Mark 10:43-44
"..Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. And whoever wants to be first must be slave of all."
Noticed Jesus asked this same question "What do you want me to do for you?" twice in chapter 10 of Mark and answered both.
1. James & John the disciples
Request: "We want you to do for us whatever we ask. Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."
Answer: "Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant. And whoever want to first must be slave of all."
2. Bartimaeus the blind
Request: "Rabbi, I want to see."
Answer: "Your faith has healed you."

When you pray for something is it out of faith? Is it out of impulse because you want something or you are in desperate need of it?
Be careful what you ask for, there is always a price. One thing that I am sure of God answers!
