Prayer--The Truth

Now, I'm not normally one to agree with this man--he's a little too evangelical for my tastes but he certainly does outline what our true problems are in this nation and world today.

Billy Graham's Prayer For Our Nation (emphasis mine)

'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!'

i just read another article by a prophecy teacher who said we should no longer pray for our nation and gave bible verses to back it up - we're a sinking ship and have turned our noses up at God. yes, i do still pray for our nation.
