When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the

Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically correct

generalities, but what they heard instead was a stirring prayer,

passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness.

The response was immediate. A number of legislators walked out during

the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church

had 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 the prayer from India, Africa and Korea.

Commentator PAUL HARVEY aired the prayer on The Rest of the Story on

The radio and received a larger response to this program than any other he

has ever aired !!

The following is a copy of that Prayer which our country desperately needs to recite with a repentant heart !

THE PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness and

To seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, "Woe on

Those who call evil good," but that's exactly what we have done. We have

Lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.

We confess that:

 We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it

pluralism. We have worshiped other gods and called it multi-culturalism.

We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle. We

have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have neglected

the needy and called it self-preservation. We have rewarded laziness and

called it welfare. We have killed our unborn children and called it a

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 political savvy. 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, O God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin

and set us free. Guide and bless these men and women who have been

sent to direct us to the center of Your will. I ask it in the name of Your

Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.

Amen.

What awesome insight !!! With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep

Our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be

called a Christian nation that fears the Lord!

2 Chronicles 7:14

Please send this prayer to as many of your Christian friends as you

can. Let us all help to get the Lord back into our lives and most

importantly into the lives of our children.

Amen.
