Matthew 15:21-22 - And Jesus withdrew from there to the region of Tyre and Sidon. Behold, a Canaanite woman came crying out, "Have mercy on me, Lord, son of David. My daughter is badly possessed by a demon."
The Canaanite woman is bold. I'm not sure but she may be the only woman to come to Jesus rather than him initiating contact. This would have been bold even if she had been Jewish. Her cry along with her actions signals the depths of her despair. She knows who Jesus is and knows he can help her. She boldly does what she must for the benefit of her daughter.
How am I advocating/pleading for others or myself?
