TAKING PRAYER FROM SCHOOLS
12/7/2007 9:34:21 PM

HI EVERYONE,
I wanted to express my feelings about taking prayer from schools. I think it is really sad. Today some of the children I taught wanted to pray. I sure didn't stop them or say anything to them. Another teacher might have. Of course I couldn't offer up a group prayer or anything. I know there have been forums like this before but had it on my mind.
  I personally think that a major problem with the schools is that they have tried to take God out of them not to mention prayer. What do you think we should do about this if anything? Or is it too late?
God bless you all!
Carla :)

Hello Carla,

I am glad that you did not stop them or say anything
to make them feel that had to choose.

I believe that to pray in public places if one desires
is part of our Freedom and no one can take this away.

I wonder where our 'Freedom' has gone and what
has happened that so many people are allowing this
to happen, haven't we got more 'back bone' than we
are presently showing and allowing this to happen to
our children.

I am more in fear of what God can do to me than a
bunch of atheists or the law, as in the OT with Shadrak,
Meishak and Abendigo (sorry about their spelling)
when King Nebakaneza was tricked into making a new
law that everyone bowed down to him and the three
were put into the fire because they would not bow down
to the King and an angel of the Lord kept them safe
from being burned alive.

There will come a time that we will have to stand up
very solidly in what we believe and face adversary from
our enemies, if we do not start now we will not have
the strength to do it when it is really needed from us.


Kind regards
Amanda

HI AMANDA,
I am going to check with Christian organizations to see what can be done . The separation of church and state is ridiculous in my mind! This country was founded on Christian principles.
Thanks,
Carla :)

You did the right thing Carla.  The only way to have prayer in schools is for the students to initiate it and for you to stand back. 

You are right.  Some teachers may have stopped it, as getting rid of God is the hidden agenda, which is not quite so hidden anymore.

Good for you!

Hugs,

Luella
