Sweet Hour of Prayer
When minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of the Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual politically correct generalities, but what they heard instead was a stirring prayer, passionately calling our country to repentance and righteousness. The response was immediate.
A number of legislators walked out during the prayer in protest. In six short weeks, the Central Christian Church had logged more 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively.
The church is now receiving international requests for copies of prayer from India, Africa and Korea. Commentator PAUL HARVEY aired the prayer on his The Rest of the Story radio broadcast 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
MULTICULTURALISM
We have endorsed perversion,
and called it
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 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!

Please send this prayer page to as
many Christian friends
as you can. Let us all help to get the Lord back into
our
lives, and most importantly, into the lives of our
children.
Amen
Sweet hour of Prayer"
(The following prayer was written by a 12-yr. old girl in
Boston)
Now I sit me down in school,
Where praying is against the
rule.
For this great nation under God,
Finds mention of Him very odd.
If
Scripture now the class recites,
It violates the Bill of Rights.
Anytime my
head I bow,
Becomes a federal matter now.
The law is specific; the law is
precise;
Praying out loud is no longer nice.
Praying aloud in a public
hall
Upsets those who believe in nothing at all.
In silence alone we can
mediate
And if God should get the credit - great!
They are bringing their
guns;
I don't dare bring my Bible,
To do so, might make me liable.
So,
now Oh Lord, this plea I make;
Should I be shot in school,
My soul please
take.
Amen
What We Need!
Mary had a
little lamb,
His fleece was white as snow.
And everywhere that Mary
went,
The Lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school each
day,
T'wasn't even in the rule.
It made the children laugh and play,
To
have a Lamb at school.
And then the rules all changed one day,
llegal
it became;
To bring the Lamb of God to school,
Or even speak His
Name.
Every day got worse and worse,
And days turned into
years.
Instead of hearing children laugh,
We heard gun shots and
tears.
What must we do to stop the crime,
That's in our schools
today?
Let's let the Lamb come back to school,
And teach our kids to
pray!
