We have become a desensitized and unmoral society. We have taken prayer out of our schools, workplace, everything that once matters. We should have been having a national prayer day every year not just in the midst of adversity!

United we stand...Divided we fall
You are absolutely right about that one. There was no "should we go to Congress" to ask for permission to pray. It was just done. I could never understand how we can proclaim to be "one nation, under God"... yet take Him out of everything. I understand the argument of opening ourselves up to paganism, but again, if we are who we say we are, then God should always be included.
