Prayer For The Senate

AS YOU READ THE FOLLOWING, I DESIRE THAT THE GRACE AND
BURDEN OF PRAYER FOR YOUR NATIONS WILL COME ON YOU AND
THAT YOU WILL PROPER INFORMATION TO PRAY
WITH, LET US PRAY, FOR OUR NATIONS!!

LET US PRAY,
Thought you might enjoy this interesting Prayer 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 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 whole heartedly become our
desire so that we again can be called "one nation
Under God."

If possible, please pass this prayer on to your
friends. "If you don't stand for something, you will
fall for everything."

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to
everyone on your e-mail 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?
"OUTSTANDING PEOPLE HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON:AN
ABSOLUTE SENSE OF MISSION "
