It should be mandatory to have prayer back into education…
the downfall of our children will continue to get worse if we don’t.

Prayer is so important to building spiritual resilience in kids. So much youth suicide. Curriculum needs students reviewing movies/books/music where students can SEE AND FEEL LOVE. I would then have them review that material in the context of their personal relationship with God.
For instance:
Watch these clips from Oliver. The woman singing in the first song, ends up doing anything for an orphan boy who everyone thought to be worthless, and was killed for it. This is perfect analogy of the love God for each of us.
For kids, the curriculum might for instance say… Pretend that God incarnated as Nancy. But God never let Nancy know that she was God…
- At the day of judgement, would you trust Nancy to be the judge of all souls? And why?
- Would all the humans that have ever existed respect Nancy’s decision?
- What else could be done?
- Ask about Jesus two commandments. Love God with all your heart, mind and soul (because clearly God loves us). And treat others as you would be treated. Now explain how both of these commandments are really about love. And if God loves us, is it right to count our blessings through the day and love him back?
- Now consider Jesus on the cross and the love God has for all of us.
