Prayer For Our Nation

"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!"

Amen Lord. Let us see our sin and bless us with a repentant heart. Please forgive us and Please heal our land.

AMEN! Think about it people. Where, exactly are we headed with this doomed path of corruption and no moral integrity? Ever hear of Soddam and Gomorrah (sp?)...you know where I mean....;)
Think about you words and actions before you speak or act, it means more than you believe.

BS, Billy Graham was an anti semite racist. You can keep his prayers.

And you can all keep your GOD, believing in myths is childish.

You don't have to believe in God to see the truth in this post, 9:44. Get past your dislike of Graham and mainstream religion and read the post again. It's dead on, regardless of your belief or lack thereof.

To anon. 9:29 Would you rather have Rev. Al Sharpton ? To anon. 9:44 That's one of the things that makes this country great--we are allowed to say those kind of things and not be taken to jail(try calling Allah a myth in Iran or Saudi Arabia). As for me ,I've found my life is much better since I started believing in God and accepted Jesus into my life. Don't give up on Him yet.

Amen and Amen.
And with respect for the 1st. Amendment rights of 9:44, but not his intellect, or sarcasim: thank you, I will continue to seek the Lord, while he may be found, for I am a sinner.
