Today’s Reading:
Matthew 15:21–39 (EFKS Tusi Faitau Aso)
“Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”
(Matthew 15:28)
This week’s EFKS theme:
The Gospel of Matthew — The Authority of Jesus (Questioning and Establishing It)
A Thought for Today
Faith can persist even when the way forward feels difficult.
What This Means for Us Today
The Canaanite woman came to Jesus carrying concern for her daughter.
She continued to seek His help, and Jesus recognised the greatness of her faith.
Her story reminds us that persistent faith keeps reaching toward Christ, even when answers do not come as quickly or easily as we hoped.
Carry This With You
Keep bringing your need to Jesus.
A Simple Prayer
Lord Jesus, strengthen my faith when answers feel distant.
Help me keep trusting You.
Today’s Invitation
Bring one request you have been carrying back to Jesus today.
Do not be afraid to ask Him again.
