God and paryer

I can't imagine what the families and victims of the terrible Colorado shooting are going through.  My heart goes out to them, and they are in my prayers.  This was an inexcusable act by an intelligent man.  It was thought out and meant to kill hundreds.  There is no way that I could say that he was insane, but he is crazy.  For someone to have thought through the process enough to have stock piled an arsenal the way he did, it was pre-meditated murder.  Those involved, the citizens of Aurora, the citizens of Colorado and the citizens of the United States will forever be changed.

Something that really bothers me is that in a week or two, the media will down play this and begin to once again listen to the few loud mouth, overbearing people who want to ban prayer and take God out of our lives.  I just can't seem to understand how the media can keep talking about praying for the victims and for healing, and then turn around and push the agenda of those who want to take that all away from us.  Prayer and God need to be part of our everyday lives, through the good and bad times.  God did not cause this horrible act to be done, that was the work of satan.  We as Christians have allowed our beliefs to be trampled on, because we didn't want to offend anyone.  It's time to take a stand for what is right and to be louder than those who hate us.  This happened with the Virginia Tech shootings, Fort Hood, Columbine and the Oklahoma City bombing, as well as the terrorist attack on 9\11.  We have prayer vigils for a while, then we let them take prayer out of schools,  away from sporting events and every other function that people gather for.  We have allowed the government to shut the doors on our religions freedoms by bowing to non-believers.  It saddens me that it takes a tragedy to bring people together in prayer.  Instead people should just pray and have a relationship with God.  I'm by no means saying that those affected didn't have a relationship with God.  What I am saying is that it has to be a priority and not a convenience for all.  We can not let God get kicked out of our country and our lives. 

Stand for what you believe in and make God the priority!!
