Matthew 15 contains the prayer of an outsider. She doesn't have an inside track to Jesus. She's an outsider and as far as Jesus' disciples are concerned she's an  outcast. She knows it so when she comes to Jesus, she comes with the traditional words of a beggar. "Lord, have mercy on me." And she gets ignored and in some respects pushed back. She had to have wondered, at least for a moment if God cared. Maybe at some point you've described your prayer life with the words, "I feel ignored." What do you do then?

Well what this outsider did...led to Jesus amazed at her faith. This is a challenge to go from "does God care?" to amazing faith in our prayer life.
