THE PRAYER FOR AMERICA

BillyGraham's Prayer for Our Nation (he is 90 years old now): 'Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgivenessand to seek your direction and guidance. We know Your Word says, 'Woeto those who call evil good,' but that is exactly what we have done. We have lost our spiritual equilibrium and reversed our values.. Wehave exploited the poor and called it the lottery. We have rewardedlaziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and calledit choice. We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable. Wehave neglected to discipline our children and called it building selfesteem. 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 ofexpression. We have ridiculed the time-honored values of our fore-fathers and called it enlightenment. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and Set us free. Amen!'
