Faith trusts that God is good in Christ, and that He saves sinners. The Canaanite woman knew that Jesus was for her and that He had to save her, that He wasn’t going to be any other God than her savior. The insults and deafening silence didn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter because she knows something about Him: He was in Tyre and Sidon, in the Gentile region, for her. So when God tells you “No,” when it feels like He’s ignoring you, understand that before you even ask Him for help, He’s there. For you.
