There are moments in life where we some experience deep desperation. Things happen in life that catch us by surprise and leave us rattled. A health diagnosis, a relationship breakdown, financial and mental health struggles. Often we feel helpless, hopeless, and don’t know where to go. In Mark 7:24–30 we witness the story of a woman in dire circumstances. She is desperate and brings her needs to Jesus. In this surprising encounter we learn about God’s grace in Jesus, and what sort of posture he desires from those who would seek him.
