1.Compelled by a great need a. A need that gripped her heart b. A need that consumed her life c. A need that moved her into action
2. Came with great fervor a. God responds to deep intense longing after Him b, It was not how long or how loud she prayed it was her intensity c. Today we pray about things but are not moved by them
3. Made constant by a great faith a. Her faith was tested - she cried out- was ignored, and no response b. Her faith was tested - she cried out- heard discouraging words - the disciplines wanted to send her away' c. Her faith was tested - she cried out- more discouraging words - Jesus said He was sent to the Jews - not her time d. Her faith was tested - she cried out again - Jesus responded
4. Conquered and received a great blessing a. Jesus said, “Be it done for you as you have desired” b. What blessing could you receive if you cling to Christ as she did?
