Faith

Faith and why we must maintain it!

In Jerusalem, a female journalist heard about a very old Jewish man who had been going to the Wailing Wall in to pray, three times a day, every day, for a long, long time; so she went to check it out.

The journalist went to the Wailing Wall and there he was. She watched this dignified, obviously holy man pray; and after about 45 minutes, when he turned to leave, she approached him for an interview.

"I'm Rebecca Smith from the BBC. Sir, how long have you been coming to the wall and praying?"

"For about 60 years." He responded, “Three time a day, every day for 60 years.”

"60 years! That's amazing! What do you pray for?" Ms. Smith asked.

"I pray for peace between the Christians, Jews, and the Muslims. I pray for all the hatred to stop and I pray for all our children to grow up in safety and friendship."

"How do you feel after doing this for 60 years?"

"Like I'm talking to a f…ing brick wall!!!"
