I just received this in an email today and wanted to share! I am sure you will appreciate it!



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!"


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
everything.

Think about this: If you forward this prayer to
everyone on your e-mail 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.....?
