“And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And many rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” - Mark 10:47-48, ESV.

Everybody has an issue, something they struggle with. Bartimaeus was blind. He had no problem asking Jesus for help. Then, when Jesus restored his sight, Bart followed him. Read the story here.

I know you struggle with something: a sin, an obsession, a decision, a malady. Call on Jesus. Seriously, what keeps you from asking for the merciful help of Jesus? Will it show weakness? Will it be embarrassing? Maybe. But do you think you can overcome it without His help?

Be silent and continue to struggle, or call on Jesus and follow His direction. - Pastor Mike

BTW, I went to the pet shop and asked for 12 bees. The clerk counted out 13 bees and handed them over. “You’ve given me one too many,” I said. He replied, “That one is a freebie.”
