Prayer before Kansas Senate ... Thx Paul C!

There might be hope yet! A Pastor with GUTS! 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.'

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 whole world.
