America’s moral decline rapidly accelerated following one event – the U.S. Supreme Court’s removal of prayer from our nation’s schools. On June 25, 1962, 39 million students were forbidden to do what they and their predecessors had been doing since the founding of our nation – publicly calling upon the name of the Lord at the beginning of each school day.
The New York school children had simply prayed: “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence on Thee and beg Thy blessing over us, our parents, our teachers and our nation.”
When Prayer was taken out of school.

IN addition to that, I can’t count the number of churches that no longer have a mid-week prayer meeting. Or ANY corporate prayer meeting, for that matter.
When churches which bear the name of Christ don’t even bother to meet together to pray any more, is it any wonder why this country’s moral decline is accelerating at such a breath-taking pace?
