Jesus went from there to the area of Tyre and Sidon.  A Canaanite woman from that area came out and began shouting, “Lord, Son of David, please help me! My daughter has a demon inside her, and she is suffering very much.” But Jesus did not answer her. So, the followers came to him and said, “Tell her to go away. She keeps crying out and will not leave us alone.” Jesus answered, “God sent me only to the lost people of Israel.” Then the woman came over to Jesus and bowed before him. She said, “Lord, help me!” He answered her with this saying: “It is not right to take the children’s bread and give it to the dogs.” The woman said, “Yes, Lord, but even the dogs eat the pieces of food that fall from their master’s table.” Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! You will get what you asked for.” And right then the woman’s daughter was healed. Matthew 15:21-28 Easy:

Faith is sometimes tested by silence before it is affirmed. Humility does not weaken prayer; it sharpens it. God’s mercy is not limited by background, labels, or distance. Listening carefully to Jesus matters as much as speaking to Him.

Father God, teach us to trust You even when answers seem delayed. Give us faith that listens, waits, and holds on with humility. Help us believe that Your mercy reaches farther than we imagine. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
