Prayer for Guidance

A good friend of mine, Anne Templeton sent this prayer by Billy Graham to me a number of weeks ago. Since then Paul Harvey has died and now knows the "rest of the real Story".

THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING 

TO OUR COUNTRY! 

'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!'

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
wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called 'One nation under God.'
