Does The Truth Hurt???
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!"
