"Lord, Help Me"
Commentators note the profound power in the woman's simple, direct prayer. Instead of complex arguments, she gets closer to Jesus, worships, and cries out from the heart. Scholars like Charles Spurgeon suggest that as her prayer grew shorter, it grew stronger and more earnest. Her plea is a model for all believers: a brief, humble, and desperate cry for help directed to the Lord.
