THE PRAYER THAT SHOCKED THE WORLD.
When Pastor 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 terrorised the world and called the victims terrorists.
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 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
If possible, please pass this prayer on to your friends. "If you don't
stand for something, you will fall for everything.."
