March 01 At What Point Should I Just Stop Praying? | Matthew 15:21–28 | Lent 2
At What Point Should I Just Stop Praying? | Christ For You
Text: Matthew 15:21–28 | Lent 2 (Historic One-Year Lectionary)

What do you do when nothing changes, when your prayers go unanswered? When God feels silent, do you assume silence means “no”? Do you quit hoping and call it “being reasonable”?

This Gospel puts you in the middle: a Canaanite woman cries for mercy, and Jesus does not answer her a word. The Law exposes us. We don’t just want answers, we want control. We want God on our timeline, and when He delays, we start translating delay into indifference.

But faith refuses to turn silence into a verdict. She comes closer, kneels, and prays, “Lord, help me.” She confesses she deserves nothing and still clings to Christ: “Even the dogs eat the crumbs.” Even “unanswered” prayers are still heard by God. His silence is not His absence.

Then the Gospel: look to Jesus in Gethsemane. The Father does not remove the cup. The answer is the cross, for you. Jesus bears the forsakenness you deserve so you can pray “Our Father” with confidence. All God’s promises find their “Yes” in Him (2 Corinthians 1:20). So stay at Jesus’ feet, and keep praying.

February 19 Why Is This Happening To Me? | 1 Corinthians 4:7 | Ash Wednesday 2026
Why Is This Happening To Me? | Christ For You
Text: Genesis 3:19; 1 Corinthians 4:7 | Ash Wednesday

When life hurts, do you put God on trial? When life goes well, do you take the credit? Have you prayed, “God, why is this happening to me?” like an accusation? Like you deserve better? Like God owes you answers?

Ash Wednesday cuts you off. What do the ashes say about you? What do they silence? What do they expose? Are you dust? Mortal? A sinner? Then what is left to do but repent?

Scripture presses harder: “What do you have that you did not receive?” Did you give yourself breath? Keep your heart beating? Hold your life together for one second? If you want “credit,” will you take it for what is truly yours: sin and the death it brought? And if suffering is not always tied to one specific sin, do you still see its root in the fall and the curse?

Then the Gospel: Jesus takes what you earned, guilt, shame, curse, death, and bears it on the cross. Why was He forsaken? For you. What do you get instead? Forgiveness. Peace with God. Life. So where will you take your “why” now? Will you go looking for explanations, or will you go to Christ who gives Himself to sinners?
