Some people don't like prayer because they are atheist or another religion, but how is that right to Christians? I mean you can't take away something for a minority of people just because it offends them? Which in the first place they aren't forced to say the prayer or even acknowledge it, but since they complained, it's better for us to just completely take it out?
This country needs more of God in it and when that happens we would see better days. If anybody's loved one was dying or something tragic had happened you cant tell me they didn't break down and pray, it sure doesn't seem offensive then does it?
Hebrews 11:1
Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.
3.Rom 8:28:
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him
