Prayer by, Minister Joe Wright,
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!
