Billy Graham's Prayer for our Nation, as read on Paul Harvey

Got this as an email and wanted a record of it...

THIS MAN SURE HAS A GOOD VIEW OF WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY!> >> >> > '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. 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.

so my husband has shown me that although the prayer is real, the credits, the time frame...pretty much all its "wrappings" are a lie. How interesting that it should happen that way now.
