This is a copy of the opening prayer offered in the Kansas Senate
by Minister Joe Wright, during the 2001 administration.

"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 possession - 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!"

With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over our nation and whole hearted become our desire so that we may once again come to be called "one nation under God."

For if you don't stand for something, you're sure to fall for everything.
