Persistence In Prayer Matters!
Keep Praying!
We see in the Persistent Canaanite Woman the power of prayer at work! She becomes a role model for us. She went through a period of testing knowing that her only hope was Jesus! Without the intervention of the Lord, her child would not be healed.
This faithful Woman was not of the Israelite People, but she knew that her people’s gods could not help her and she would not let the Disciples of Jesus get rid of her. She loved her child and would not let anything get in her way! She knew with all of her heart, mind and soul, that the only answer to her situation was Jesus! She would not even allow Jesus to say no! The Canaanite Woman would humble herself and say;
“Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
Matthew 15:27
This is the power of humble prayer, we do not deserve Divine Intervention in our lives, but we beg for it anyway!
This is the sign of Total Trust in the Love of Jesus! His Love can change things! Jesus’ response to this humble and bold prayer is:
“O Woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire.”
Matthew 15:28
And the result of the Canaanite Woman’s prayer echoes into our midst today:
And her daughter was healed instantly.
Matthew 15:28
May we be persistent and humble in our prayer. We do not know how God will answer us, so pray for what we need! Pray for our loved ones, pray for for our communities, pray for those who have hurt us too!
Pray, pray and pray!
1 Thessalonians 5:17
May we be Victorious in our prayer!
Pax.
