This interesting prayer was given in
Kansas,
USA, 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 embezzled public funds
and called it
essential expenses.
* We have insitutionalised bribery and
called it
sweets of office.
* 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.
Aamen!"
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."
