PAUL HARVEY'S ON- AIR PRAYER
'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!' Commentator Paul Harvey aired this prayer on his radio program, 'The Rest of the Story,' and received a larger response to this program than any other he has ever aired.

We love our possessions and ourselves more than God. We turn our backs on God AND our neighbors (fellow man) because we believe gold is more important than God.
We are never satisfied with "enough" - we continue to lust for more, We've taken this earth for granted. We expect God to be both our servant and fairy God mother, as if we're exempt from life. Hope it was okay to contribute to this thread. |

Yes, ma'am! I'm glad to see that you would understand a statement I once made and was questioned on it about money being some people's god.
" 'Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from every sin and set us free. Amen!' "

That's a jam-packed prayer. I can just hear Paul Harvey delivering it. He's got a fabulous delivery.
May I dare to add... We have jumped to conclusions about that which we've not experienced and called it wisdom... meh? gg

Thank you, GG.
Maybe your statement could be backed up with this cliche... "Stand for something or fall for anything.
