A prayer for our country that Billy Graham once offered: “Heavenly Father, we come to ask your forgiveness and to seek your direction and guidance. We know the Bible 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 killed our unborn and called it choice. We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem. We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and called it freedom of expression. Search us, Oh God, and know our hearts today; cleanse us from sin and Set us free. Amen.”
