"A few weeks agoa friend of mine faxed me a copy of a prayer and I'd like to share it with all of you. If you are offended by prayers, consider yourself warned. A prayer follows, so if you don't like prayers, stop reading."
"This particular prayer caused quite a stir. A Kansas minister named Joe Wright was asked to give the opening prayer for a session of the Kansas Senate. Hw offered the senators a bit more than they'd bargained for and, in fact, some of them were so offended that they walked out. Afterwards, the minister's church was swamped with supportive phone calls and he has been receiving requests for copies from all over the world."
"Here is what Rev. Wright said:"
"Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and to ask Your directions 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 confess that 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 life style.
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 political.
We have coveted our neighbors possessions and called it ambition.
We ahve polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of statement.
We have ridiculed the time-honered values of our forefathers and called it enlightenment.
Search us, oh God, and let us know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Guide nad bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of your will, and we ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savoir, Jesus Christ.
Amen."
Afew of my thoughts. This prayer is needed today just at is was said in Oct. 2000, maybe even more so. Liberals will still leave and not hear this prayer in it's entierty. I'd like to add a line to this prayer. We have coveted the rich and taxed their wealth and called it sharing the wealth.
