all we have to do is pray.

Help! Please! Somebody make sense of this.
When the world makes no sense, there is always God. To say we live in turbulent times is an understatement. Weird, crazy, scary would be more like it. How do we cope with this insanity of Democrats and Republicans acting like spoiled brats? Is it just me or does it seem like we are on a toboggan ride heading to God knows where?
Suddenly Jesus comes crashing into our mad, mad world in Luke 18:1 and says, “Men ought always to pray and not faint.”
The word “faint” literally means “out of bad.” “Fainting” has to do with what our mouths speak when we go thru difficult, severe, challenging times.
Jesus says it is best not to speak anything bad during down times.
The other New Testament word for “faint” means “loose behavior” –
Galatians 6:9 – “Be not weary in well-doing. For in due season, you will reap if you faint not.”
He (Paul) says, don’t resort to “bad behavior” just because things are not going so well. Don’t “loose” your commitment to Jesus.
Always pray – commune with God – instead of complaining, moaning, griping about the way things are.
God will make sense out of all this non-sense if we just keep on praying.
