Mayhap, but he has promised in His Holy Word that he hears my prayers ... how he chooses to answer is up to Him. LOL!
From the Book of Mark:
7:24. And rising from thence he went into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon: and entering into a house, he would that no man should know it. And he could not be hid.
7:25. For a woman as soon as she heard of him, whose daughter had an unclean spirit, came in and fell down at his feet.
7:26. For the woman was a Gentile, a Syrophenician born. And she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter.
7:27. Who said to her: suffer first the children to be filled: for it is not good to take the bread of the children and cast it to the dogs.
7:28. But she answered and said to him: Yea, Lord; for the whelps also eat under the table of the crumbs of the children.
7:29. And he said to her: For this saying, go thy way. The devil is gone out of thy daughter.
7:30. And when she was come into her house, she found the girl lying upon the bed and that the devil was gone out.
I puzzled over the meaning of this scripture. At first I wondered if it meant that Jesus could be nagged into giving you what you want, just to get rid of you.
That didn’t seem very Christ-like.
God be thanked, one afternoon during a Holy Hour the Holy Spirit gave me a bit of understanding of this passage. While I’m sure there are many, one lesson to take from this is that perseverance is a virtue. Jesus gave her what she wanted not because she nagged Him, but because she was resolute.
In addition to praying directly to God, one more thing you can do is ask a saint to pray for you, too. You know, perseverance.
