This is absolutely great ! ! !


There might be hope yet!


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.


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.'

Thank you for sharing Tom.
Good for Mr. Wright. We need more bold people like him.

Love it!! Wouldn't it be a blessing to be a member in this man's church? His family and congregation must be so proud of him.

Tom,

If only all members of our government felt this way. America would then be able to stand strong and stand with Israel. May this Godly man's prayers touch the heart of God for America.
