Commentator PAUL HARVEY aired the 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 !!

    THE PRAYER 

    Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask Your forgiveness 
    and to seek Your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, Woe 
   on 
   those who call evil good," but that's 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 worshiped other gods and called it multi-culturalism. 
    We have endorsed perversion and called it an alternative lifestyle. 
    We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery. 
    We have neglected the needy and called it self-preservation. 
    We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. 
    We have killed our unborn children and called it a 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 political savvy. 
    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, O 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. I ask it in the name of 
   Your 

   Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

    What awesome insight !!! With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can  be called a Christian nation that fears the Lord! 

In Christ,
