"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!"-Billy Graham
Note: I do not support the broad view of salvation that Billy Graham adopted later on in his life.
