The Power of a mothers prayer

Matthew 15:21–28 KJV 1900

Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.

She recognized Jesus as Lord

She spelled out the problem without sugarcoating it - I wonder if we would be able to do that?

She dealt with the silence of the master while still crying out and seeking Him

She annoyed everyone until some one would answer her

He essentially said not my problem

Her response to rejection was worship

Her response to a slight was acknowledgment of the truth yet finding the hope in it

through it all she maintained that Jesus was Lord

When her answer came it was instant and Her daughter was delivered for her mothers faith, humility and tenacity
