Hear my prayer, LORD!
Listen closely to my cry for help!
LUKE 7:37-38, 50 (CEB)
Meanwhile, a woman from the city, a sinner, discovered that Jesus was dining in the Pharisee’s house. She brought perfumed oil in a vase made of alabaster. Standing behind him at his feet and crying, she began to wet his feet with her tears. She wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and poured the oil on them... Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

PRAYER
Thank you, faithful Lord, for hearing us when we call out to you. I admit that I struggle when your response isn't immediate. Help me to persist and to continue to seek your aid. Show me whatever uncoventional form that cry might take. I'm going to calmly move forward knowing that you are responding to my faith. Amen.
