Stubborn means “having or showing dogged determination not to change one’s attitude or position on something, especially in spite of good reasons to do so.” Brothers and sisters, there are times we’ve got to be stubborn! They don’t answer you; they try to frustrate you; they put all manner of obstacles in your way; they call you all manner of names; but you say, no; I ain’t going no where until I get what I want!
The woman was a Gentile, because of which she was not getting the attention and assistance that she desperately needed from Jesus: but she knew that Jesus could help her, she knew that just one word from Him would change her story, she knew that her precious daughter would die if Jesus did not help her; her love for her daughter wouldn’t let her give up! Report me to the police for harassment and invasion of privacy, but I ain’t going no where until I get what I want! That’s exactly what she was saying!
Have you not read that men always ought to pray and not faint? It’s not about how long you’ve been praying, it’s about how desperate you are for what you want! Are you going to give up simply because you were ignored? Are you going to let your pride deprive you of that thing you need? Are you going to let their bad attitude hinder you from getting your opportunity to testify of the goodness of God?
No, a thousand times! I ain’t going to stop praying God! I ain’t going to stop knocking! I don’t care how busy You seem to be; I’m going to keep coming back, I’m going to make the loudest noise, I’m going to keep worshipping, I’m going to keep praising, and dancing until the desires of my heart are granted!
