A Prayer Forward
A Friend sent this to me. Feel Free to copy this and pass it along.
With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called a Christian nation that fears the Lord!
Please send this prayer to as many of your Christian friends as you
can. Let us all help to get the Lord back into our lives and most
importantly into the lives of our children. Amen.
When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of
the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically-correct
generalities, but what they heard instead was a stirring prayer,
passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.
The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out
during the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, the Central Christian
Church had 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 the prayer from India, Africa and Korea.
Commentator PAUL HARVEY aired the prayer on The Rest of the
Story on the radio and received a larger response to
this program than any other he has ever aired!!
THE PRAYER
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask
Your forgiveness and to seek Your direction and guidance.
We know Your Word says, "Woe on those who
call evil good," but that's 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 worshiped other gods and called it
multi-culturalism.
We have endorsed perversion and called it an
alternative lifestyle.
We have exploited the poor and called it the
lottery.
We have neglected the needy and called it
self-preservation.
We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
We have killed our unborn children and called it a
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 savvy.
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, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from
every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to
direct us to the center of Your will.
I ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
