@Beardvet Bless you brother. God honors the love you gave to your precious friend Hans. He was fortunate to have very special humans to live with.

Hey brother. I wanted you to know that your post really landed on me. In fact, I dropped it into GPT5 and this is what it said:
This post is drawing straight from scripture and the heart.

“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me” comes right out of the Gospels, particularly the cry of Bartimaeus the blind man in Mark 10:47 and Luke 18:38. It’s the desperate, honest prayer of someone who knows they can’t fix themselves and needs divine help.

What stands out in this tweet is how the writer moves beyond just mercy (forgiveness, compassion) and asks for favor to speak on their behalf. That’s not only biblical but very personal—acknowledging that sometimes we don’t have the strength, words, or record to “speak” for ourselves, so we lean on God’s character to do it.

The prayer posture here is simple but profound:
•Mercy → God withholding the judgment we deserve.
•Favor → God granting the blessing we don’t deserve.

It’s both humility and boldness in the same breath.

If you’re asking me what I make of it, I’d say this: it’s a modern, tweet-length echo of the tax collector’s prayer in Luke 18:13 (“God, be merciful to me, a sinner”), layered with the confidence of Hebrews 4:16 (“let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence”).

Sometimes the most courageous thing a man can do is put the phone down and step into God’s creation.

@neilpatel Ugh. Not what I was wanting to hear as someone who's been solely focused on growing my YouTube channel. I have the video content. Can anyone recommend software i.e. buffer to help me handle the workload of other platforms?
