Our Prayer...

I recently received an email from my mom which was just another "fw:" It was a prayer by Paul Harvey. I don't know if Paul Harvey really prayed this prayer or if it is just some stupid spam email going around, but it still has a strong message.

PAUL HARVEY'S ON-AIR 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 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!"
