This interesting prayer was given in Kansas at
the opening session of their Senate. It seems
prayer still upsets some people. When Minister
Joe Wright was asked to open the new session
of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting
the usual generalities, but this is what they
heard. Heavenly Father, we come before you
today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your
direction and guidance. We know Your Word
says, 'Woe to those who call evil good,' but that
is exactly what we have done. We have lost our
spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.
We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your
Word and called it Pluralism.We have
worshipped other gods and called it
multiculturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it
alternative lifestyle
We have exploited the poor and called it the
lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it
welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it
choice. We have shot
abortionists and called it justifiable. We have
neglected to discipline our children and called
it building self-esteem.We have abused power
and called it politics. We have coveted our
neighbor's possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air with profanity and
pornography and called it freedom of
expression.
We have ridiculed the time honored values
of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, Oh, God, and know our hearts today;
cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Amen.The response was immediate. A number
of legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Rev.. Wright is pastor, logged
more than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of
those calls responding negatively. The church
is now receiving international requests for
copies of this prayer from India, Africa and
Korea.
Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on
his radio program, The Rest of the Story, and
received a larger response to this program than
any other he has ever aired.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep
over our nation and
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we
again can be called, one nation under God. If
possible, please pass this prayer on. If you
don't stand for something, you will fall for
everything.
Think about this: If you forward this prayer to
everyone on your email list, in less than 30
days it would be heard by the world. How many
people in your address book will not receive
this prayer, do you have the guts to pass it on?
The Lord will be your everlasting light, and your
God will be your glory.Isaiah 60:19.

On point!


AMEN.
