Still working through the passage on mothers found in Matthew 15:21-28.
"But she came and knelt before him saying, "Lord, help me." - Matthew 15:25
Mark #4 - Great mothers know the power of great prayer.
This verse is short and simple, but so packed with insight on the power of prayer that I really had to just let it soak in. There aren't very many words here, but there is a lot of information so read it slowly or a couple times.
The mother in this story acknowledged the Lordship of Jesus as she came and knelt before him. She was literally able to kneel at the feet of Jesus, are we doing that in our prayer lives?
She knew who could get the answer for her great need, the Lord. If you don't know who can help you with your problems, He can. Cry out to Him when you need answers.
She confessed that she needed God personally when she said "help me." Don't we all need a hand sometime in our lives, a pick me up, or a boost to get through a tough day. This mother's need was much greater and she didn't know exactly what to say so this simple yet power prayer of "Lord, help me" was what she came up with.
So no matter what, or how great the need you're facing today, go to the one who can help you and ask for his grace to get you through your trial.
