The deep desires of our heart
I must admit that I have never seen the TV show 'Desperate Housewives', and from what I've read about it, I don't think I ever want to. Anyway I don't need to, because there is a better version here in the Bible. Here in our text we have two desperate housewives: Leah and Rachel. One is desperate for love, the other is desperate for children.

The Confusing Path Toward Confident Faith
When we look to Jesus, we do not find the type of “trying harder” faith that is often suggested by well-meaning Christians. Instead, we find him teaching us about a faith that will face our situations. This is the kind of faith that pleases God. In the midst of the chaos of life and at the end of your resources, you are just where God wants you to be. This is the moment of chaotic faith. This is what Charles Spurgeon called “seeking faith.” Chaotic faith is marked by desperation. How does confident faith grow from the moment that we have called Chaotic faith? The faith that emerges from the chaos is ultimately a gift from God.

Dependent Prayer, Part 2
Having called His disciples to dependent prayer, Jesus now uses a parable to teach them that the proper attitude behind prayer is actually desperation! Such "shameless boldness" will be met with gracious provision, as it is the heart of our heavenly Father to give good things to His children.
