"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 eqilibrium and reversed our values.
We confess that: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 neglected to discilpline our children and called it building self-esteem.
We have abused power and called it politics.
We have polluted the air with profanity and called it freedom of expression.
Search us, Oh God,and know our hearts today;cleanse us from every sin and set us free.
Guide and bless these men and women who have been sent to direct us to the centre of Your will and to openly ask these things in the name of Your Son, the living Saviour, Jesus Christ.Amen!"
