Sobering thoughts for the new year.

This prayer was delivered by Pastor Joe Wright
at one opening session of the Kansas Senate.


Heavenly Father,

We come before You today to ask forgiveness and seek direction. We know Your Word saysWoe to those who call evil good, but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values. Therefore we confess:


1) We have ridiculed the absolute Truth of Your Word-

and called it pluralism.

2) We have worshipped other gods-
and called it multi-culturalism.

3) We have endorsed perversion-
and called it alternate lifestyle.

4) We have exploited the poor-
and called it the lottery.

5) We have rewarded laziness-
and called it welfare.

6) We have killed our unborn-
and called it choice.

7) We have shot abortionists-
and called it justifiable.

8) We have neglected to discipline our children-
and called it building self esteem.

9) We have abused power-
and called it politics.

10) We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions-
and called it ambition.

11) We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography-
and called it freedom of expression.

12) We have ridiculed time-honored values of our forefathers-
and called it enlightenment.

With the Lord’s help, may this Prayer sweep over our nation and heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called one nation under God!! REMEMBER: IF YOU DON’T STAND FOR SOMETHING,
YOU WILL FALL FOR ANYTHING!”
[End quote]

[A timely observation: When commentator, Paul Harvey, aired this prayer on his radio segment called, “The Rest of the Story”, the station received greater response than for any other program aired in his long career.]
