Below is a modified prayer given in Kansas at the opening of the session of their Senate. Many walked out as it was being prayed. I took the liberty of altering it somewhat.
Heavenly Father, we come before you today to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know what your word says, "Woe to those who call evil good", but that is exactly what we have done..
We have exploited the poor, and called it the lottery.
We have rewarded laziness with welfare.
We have killed the unborn and called it choice.
We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.
We have neglected the disciplining of 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 a virtue via governmental redistribution.
Our laws say prostitution is wrong but film it and it becomes a legal form of self expression.
Our sexual identity is a choice, but our selection of which gender to have sex with is not.
We seek to ban guns and legalize drugs, even though drugs kill far more of our people that also leads to more gun violence.
Search us, oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free!
Amen
