Day 3. Faith will Beg.

I know that this may sound like a strange thought.  It may even sound disrespectful to some.  But desperate times often result in desperate measures.  Ever been there? 

Remember ... Faith is active trust.  Jesus loves faith. 
I don't think He's so concerned about how we release it!

To beg - entreat, pray, beseech, petition, appeal, implore, plead, urge.

There are eight times in Mark that we see someone / people / even demons imploring Jesus for help.   Here are three:

Mark 5:22-23  - Jairus came and fell at His feet (worshiped) and begged Him (or, as the NLT Bible says 'pleaded fervently' with Him) to come & heal his daughter. (read whole story)

Mark 7:26  - Jesus was trying to take a break, but this woman found Him and begged Him to drive the demon out of her daughter.   (read whole story)

Mark 7:32  - There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged him to place his hand on the man.  (read whole story)

“Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.  For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.
Matthew 7:7-8
