Thx good friend Nita E for repeating this wonderful story! ...

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
neighbors' 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
Enlightenments.   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.​'​
If
possible,  please pass this prayer on to your friends.
“If you don’t stand for  something, you will
fall for
anything.”
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 entire world.
