Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness
and 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 inverted our values. We confess thatWE have
ridiculed the absolute truth of your Word and called it pluralism.
WE have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
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 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 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 mean and women who
have been sent here by the people of Kansas, and who have been ordained by you to govern
this great state. Grant them the wisdom to rule, and may their decisions direct us
to the center or your will. I ask it in the name of your Son, the Living
Saviour, Jesus Christ, Amen. |
