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 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  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."

If possible, please pass this prayer on to  your friends "If you don't stand for something, you will  fall for anything."

Think about this: If you  forward this prayer to everyone On your email list, in less  than 30 days it would be heard by The world.

How  many people in your address book will not receive  This prayer.....do you have the guts to pass it  on?



I just  did! 

God Bless Us All !!!!

When I heard this I was overjoyed that someone took a stand for GOD!!!! in the position to take a stand and make it known the this country was founded upon the beliefs in GOD and until we get it back to where it use to be, we will continue to be faced with the crimes, wars and our children growing up without any direction or hope.

GOD Bless you for posting this

I'm a true Warrior for GOD!!!!!
