“National Day of Prayer” – How About a National YEAR of Prayer?

5:44 am Christian Life Issues

Yesterday, a Federal Judge ruled that the “National Day of Prayer” is unconstitutional! An email I got about this says: “Focus on the Family reports Judge Barbara Crabb ruled today [in favor of atheist complainers at the Freedom from Religion Foundation] that government recognition of prayer violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Crabb claimed her decision “carries out the Founders’ plan of preserving religious liberty to the fullest extent possible in a pluralistic society,” [she actually believes the Founding Fathers, who prayed to the Judeo-Christian God in Congress, now suddenly oppose public acts of prayer?]” Yeah, right! I checked it out to be sure it wasn’t a hoax passed around on the Internet, but it is true… sadly!

Judge: Natl Day Of Prayer Unconstitutional

Believer’s Stand United Message on this ruling

“The National Day of Prayer, honored in the United States for more than a half-century, is unconstitutional, a federal judge in Wisconsin has ruled. In a 66-page opinion issued Thursday, U.S. District Judge Barbara Crabb said the holiday violates the “establishment clause” of the First Amendment, which creates a separation of church and state.”

The suit was brought by the “Freedom FROM Religion” group. Like THEY represent the majority of Americans! Riiight!

I think what this country needs right now is a National YEAR of Prayer to pray to turn around the socialist, anti-American direction our great country is descending into! They can’t keep us from praying on our own… what do you say? Let’s pray for America!

“If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” (2 Chron. 7:14)
