The prayer that shocked the world

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.

freedom of expression.

enlightenment.

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 .

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

whole-heartedly become our desire so that we again can be called: “one

nation under God.”

“If you don’t stand for something, you will fall for everything.”
