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 usualgeneralities, but
this iswhat 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!
