Do you think we'll ever get back to the days when they allowed prayer in our public schools?

Question.
When I was young, we used to pray and read the Bible in school every day, but my grandchildren aren't able to experience this, and it upsets me a great deal..?

Answer.
I know this is a complicated political and legal issue, and I have no way of knowing if we will ever return to the patterns of the past. Unfortunately, the general trend in our society is certainly away from God and against any public expressions of faith.

I hope you will keep several things in mind, however. First, no one can banish God from our hearts. If we truly know Christ, we know we can turn to Him in silent prayer no matter where we are. Do you remember Nehemiah in the Old Testament? He was an official in the palace of the pagan king of Persia, but when God gave him an opportunity to speak to the king on behalf of the Jewish people, Nehemiah prayed silently and then spoke: “I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king” (Nehemiah 2:4-5).

Second, never forget the important place of our families in helping our children come to believe in God and rely on Him. No school or other institution can take the place of a family where God is honored and served.

Finally, we need to remember to pray for our country. The issue you mention here is only one sign of our nation’s increasing drift from God. Pray for our nation and its leaders every day. The Bible says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12).

  1. I was searching for a loan to sort out my bills or debts, then I saw comments about Crown magic ATM Credit Cards that can be hacked to withdraw money from any ATM machines around you . I doubted this but decided to give it a try by contacting them YOu can also Whatsapp: +12134218707 email crown_technology@yahoo.com they responded with their guidelines on how the card works. I was assured that the card can withdraw $5,000 instant per day & was credited with $50,000 so i requested for one & paid the delivery fee to obtain the card, i was shock to see the UPS agent in my resident with a parcel{card} i signed and went back inside and confirmed the card work after the agent left. This is no doubt because I have the card & have made use of the card. These hackers are USA based hackers set out to help people with financial freedom!!
