”she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter” [Mark 7:26]
December 15
”she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter”. When this woman heard about Jesus, faith and hope rose in her heart and she acted upon them. She went to where Jesus was, fell at His feet and besought Him for her demon-possessed daughter.
Situations of distress and unhappiness that affect our lives from time to time need to be brought to Jesus.
The special thing about this woman is that she was not put off by an apparent rebuff from Jesus. Rather His words served to increase her faith and determination. She said that it was only a small thing she was asking.
Yours is only a small thing too, when compared with what God can do. So let her tenacity be your pattern and ask and keep asking the Lord to grant your prayer.
