"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 anti-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!"
