Chew on This

“And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.” (Ephesians 6:18)

When we a see a fallen leader or fallen brother or sister in Christ, it is easy to do anything but pray.  We want to go through the “why” of it all.  We want the answers; especially if we have invested trust in the person who has now disappointed us. 

The thing to remember about people is they are just that: people.  There’s not a perfect one in the bunch.  The two that came the closest to perfection succumbed to temptation that has spread sin through the entire human race.  The only perfect one is God, and the only perfect one to walk this earth is Jesus Christ.

The verse in Ephesians says to pray on all occasions.  I take that to mean no matter what. 

Anyway, that’s just something to chew on.
