The Kansas Senate Prayer A Prayer for Our Nation

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 than 5,000 phone calls with only 47 of those calls responding negatively. The church is now receiving international requests for copies of the prayer from India, Africa and Korea.

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, humility and honesty!!! Attributes sadly lacking in the halls of government and in our society.

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep our Nation and wholeheartedly become our desire, so that we again can be called a Nation of People Who Love God!

Please send this prayer to as many of your friends as you can. Let us all help to get God back into our lives and most importantly into the lives of our children & grandchildren.

Gloucester, VA Board of Supervisors Meeting Video September, 2013

Here is the Gloucester, Virginia Board of Supervisors meeting video for September, 2013 in full.  We would like to point out one thing that the board does right.  They start their meetings out with a prayer.  We could care less what the lousy lawyers over at the ACLU say or do, this is the proper way to start meetings and we are going to give you some very interesting facts that not even the ACLU lawyers have ever seen before.

  Historically speaking, by starting out public meetings with prayer, you significantly reduce to near eliminating the chance for riots.  You have set the tone for a moral and ethical way that people should conduct themselves.  Now it's not to say that those behind the board seats are going to act morally or ethically, but the tone for the meeting has been set.

  Where prayer has not been allowed, there have been much higher incidences of riots and physical fighting.  It has been shown people are less likely to behave in an unethical manner when a minister is around.  Police, no one cares.  They will fight with the police as fast as with each other.  No one is going to start a fight with a minister though unless that minister is and has shown to be unethical himself.  You have a better chance of maintaining order with a minister in the chambers than with riot police.

  Now a question should be asked, is the ACLU aware of this?  If they are, they are without question unethical and need to be shut down.  If they are not, then this information needs to be shown to them and argued to shut them up on this issue.  Sorry folks, we are taking back our country, you can leave if you do not like it.

  Some other interesting historical facts.  Back in the days of our founding fathers, late 18th century, (That's 1770's and 1780's for those who have no clue), religion was compulsory while education was voluntary.  Today education is compulsory while religion is voluntary.  Today ethics is highly questioned throughout the world, while there is no question that the quality of education is in the toilet.  There are more illiterate adults now than ever before in history percentage wise.  Anyone understand the message here?

  Now of course we keep beating on county officials for what they are doing wrong, in our view, but we must also point out what they are doing right and support those areas and at any cost where need be.  We fully support this area of opening each and every board meeting with prayer and should anyone come along to attack it, we will be there to fight that attack to the fullest extent.
