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 call it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness and call it welfare.
We have killed our unborn and call it choice.
We have shot abortionists and call it justifiable.
We have neglected to discipline Our Children and call it
Building self esteem. We have abused power and call it politics.
We have coveted our neighbor's Possessions and called it ambition.
Pornography and called it Freedom of speech and 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!"
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”. ¶ 5:57 PM
