A Prayer By Billy Graham
'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. |
