Someone sent this to me in an email and I thought it was cool so I'll share it here too.

It seems prayer still upsets some
people. When Minister Joe Wright was asked to open the new session of
the
Kansas Senate, everyone was expecting the usual generalities, but
this is
what they heard:

'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!'

The response was ! immediate. A number of
legislators walked out during the prayer in
protest. In 6 short weeks, Central Christian
Church, where Rev. Wright is pastor, 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 this prayer
from India, Africa and Korea.
