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
 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 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 alternative lifestyle;   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. Guide and bless these
 men and women who have been sent to direct us to the center of
 Your will, and we ask it in the name of Your Son, the living Savior,
 Jesus Christ. 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 "The Rest of the Story" on the radio 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'll
 fall for everything."
