We have been talking about prayer, I believe this is right on time. Thank you Walter

This is absolutely great!

There might be hope yet.   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.  
             

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 to your friends.

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything."                                                        
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 entire world.
