What do you do, when you have come to the Lord Jesus seeking for Him to do something for you; something like the salvation of your soul, or the salvation of your loved one; or the healing of their body, and you appear to be receiving no answer?

And 3rdly - This woman, in faith, had to give to the Lord an answer of both acquiescence and hope. And so will you. I believe that if you and I can do the same, that we will see our Lord do greater things yet, in relation to our prayers to Him.
