Thankful Thursday: The freedom to pray

In 1963, Madalyn Murray O'Hair won a lawsuit against the Baltimore School System, which voted in her favor 8-1 to ban school prayer and label it "unconstitutional". Though not all prayer was immediately banned from schools at that time, through a process of time, almost all school prayer is banned today.


I remember as a student there was a saying that went around" As longs as there is tests at school, there will be prayer " They were right. Academical, peer pressure, bullying, social relationships.As some point in my life, in fact many points of my life I have sent up a heartfelt prayer up. Not always on my knees. not always out loud. But nevertheless they were answered. Deliverance came from my Heavenly Father.

No matter what the ruling was that came from a lawsuit, I stilled prayed and God stilled answered.  People may not have heard the prayer but they could see the result.

This ruling is not much different than the ruling that Daniel in the Old Testament  faced. Did that changed Daniel's habit. No way! He continued to pray three times a day. I don't think it was quietly either. God was with him and delivered him from the jaws of lions. Rather his enemies became the lions supper. A king saw God's power and changed how things were done.

Never fear, Trust God and you can be sure of victory. Don't stop praying!  God is never too late! You will be delivered.
