LORD HEAR US AS WE PRAY....



THE PRAYER THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD


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 anti-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 ex-pression.

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 .

Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, "The Rest of the Story," and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

With
the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and
whole-heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called: "one
nation under God."

"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for everything."

I love it. As someone who has fought welfare for decades, I would like to suggest some changes.

We have oppressed the disabled and called it welfare.

We have denied education to those who need it and called it remedial resource.

We have introduced politically correct propaganda in the schools and called it public education.

We have institutionalized the orphans and called it foster care. (No offense to the foster parents. This was aimed at the system that regulates foster care.)

As a man with a mild disability who has struggled with the welfare system for decades: I needed education so that I could learn how to work but instead, I received money and the welfare agents required that I stay home or in a welfare controlled institution (prison) instead of looking for a job.

I know of some orphans who lived through horror stories in the foster care system because as soon as they found a decent home with decent Christian parents, the foster care system would yank the kid out of that home and place him in a home of drunkards and perverts.

We need the prophet Jeremiah to come and convict our country of its sin.
