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  neighbour's

Possessions and called it  ambition.

We have polluted the  air

With profanity  and

Pornography and called  it

Freedom of speech and  expression.

We have ridiculed the  time

Honoured 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

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

email list, in less than 30 days it would be  heard by The  world.

How many people in your address book will not  receive This

prayer…..do you have the guts to pass it  on?
