"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
confess that we have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and
called
it
Pluralism.
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.
Guide
and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to
the
center
of Your will and to openly ask these things in the name of
Your
Son, the living Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen!" |
