A Conservative's Prayer

I was sent this prayer. I am told it is from Billy Graham, but have no proof of that.
I DO however agree with this prayer.
"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!
