Christ Hears Prayer Even If He Does not Answer
Matthew 15:21-28
Then Jesus went there, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon.…


It is said, He answered her not a word: but it is not said, He beard not one word: these two differ much. Christ often heareth when He doth not answer; His not answering is an answer, and speaks thus, Pray on, go on, and cry; for the Lord holdeth His door fast bolted, not to keep out, but that you may knock and knock. Prayer is to God, worship; to us, often, it is but a servant upon mere necessity sent on a business. The father will cause his child say over again, what he once heard him say, because he delighteth to hear him speak.

(S. Rutherford.)
