A while back someone gave me a xerox copy of a picture of Billy Graham at 90 years old and his prayer for our nation.. I have read it several times and keep it in my Bible to remind me of what a wonderful country God has given us and we shouldn't take it for granted. It also makes me so thankful for God's Grace, love, and forgiveness! I wanted to share it on our blog and I hope those of you who read this are touched the way I was!
"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 lottery. We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare. We have killed our unborn and called it a 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 neighbors 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!"
Please feel free to copy and paste and keep this prayer moving on! God's Grace is sufficient for us ALL!
