PRAYER FOR THE AMERICAN SCHOOL SYSTEM

Dear Father, in the Name of Jesus we come before You. We thank you for all that You have done to bless this great nation of ours. We thank You for allowing the foundations of this country to be based upon Godly principles. We thank you for all of the children You have placed in our lives. We ask Your blessing upon each and every one of us to enable us to teach them according to Your Word. We ask wisdom so that we understand Your desires for their lives and for the ability to teach them according to Your will. We ask for Your guidance so that we can correct the problems that the American school system faces today. The issues are grave and we know that they represent Satan’s attack against our young people. We ask Your divine protection around them and that You send Your ministering angels to protect them. Father, we thank you for giving us the ability to care for them. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

We live in turbulent times and our lives are busier than ever. More and more, it’s becoming harder for families to connect the way that they need to. When what our children see out in the world is often the opposite of good values, we have to make sure that we’re teaching them the character traits, life skills, foundational values, and Biblical principles that they need to remain solid.

Welcome to episode one of Timeless Truths with me, Dr. Christine Van Horn, as your host. I am a Doctor of Christian Theology and a Certified Emergency Manager for over 30 years. I’m here to bring you and your family a safe forum to hear about things you can do to rebuild your foundational values.

Join me as I look at the significant values of generations past and explore how we have gotten so far off course in today’s world. I’ll also discuss how to recognize the changes you need to make to get your life and that of your family back on track.

In this episode, you will learn:

• My definition of “Timeless Truths” (01:09)
• A bit of history on my influences (03:50)
• It's important for us to guide our children to be persons of character (08:09)
• We're at a time in history where life can be harder than ever for children to grow up (15:19)
