Graham's Prayer For Our Nation
THIS
MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!
'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!'
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..'
Think
about this: If you forward this prayer to everyone on your e-mail list, in less
than 30 days it would be heard by the world. (It's worth a try!) One Nation Under God.
