John 4:15

She still heard it somewhat literally — but she was asking. Her request, even half-understood, was moving in the right direction. Jesus honours honest seeking.

Memory phrase: Ask Jesus, even if you do not fully understand yet.

Talk about it: The woman asked for something she only half understood. Do you think Jesus was pleased with her request? Why?

Prayer: Jesus, I want what You are offering — even the parts I do not fully understand yet. Please give it to me.
