PRAYER FROM THE KANSAS SENATE LEGISLATURE
Your web browser is NOT capable of playing Music

  This prayer was actually spoken before the Kansas State Legislature.
 When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas
 Senate, everyone was expecting the usual 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 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 worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
 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.

 With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep our nation and

 Christian nation that fears the Lord!  PLEASE SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS
