Got this on email it has interesting points
This Pastor has guts
It seems prayer still upsets some
people. Please read....
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
powerand called it politics.
We have coveted our
neighbour's Possessions and called it ambition.
We have polluted the air
With profanity and Pornography and called it
Freedom of speech and expression.
We have ridiculed the time
Honoured 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."
