"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 reqarded 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 fore-fathers

                                 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. With the Lord's help, may this prayer sweep over

      our nation and wholeheartedly become our desire so that we again can be called "One Nation Under GOD.)
