The Inauguration Day Prayer (you won't hear)

This is the prayer you won't hear on Obama's Inauguration. So please pray this for our country instead.

Lord we begin this year with our heads low and our hearts contrite for we have neglected your Word and Commandments. Forgive us Lord for embracing "Change" without repentance. Forgive us for putting "Country First" instead of Christ. Forgive us for worshiping our presidential choice. For promoting pragmatism, and endorsing evil. Forgive us for applauding an Esther (Palin), when she was sign of God's judgment. Remind us that judgment begins at the house of God. Forgive us for putting our tax exempt status before Christ. Forgive us for teaching that God is a God of love but not of justice and wrath. For creating a God in our own image and worshiping him. For preaching peace, peace when there is no peace. Forgive us for loving sinners to death, when God says, He hates the workers of iniquity. Forgive us for taxation (coercion) to fight poverty when the Church should be serving them. Forgive us for making innocent life "above our pay grade." Forgive us for believing "life begins at conception" yet allowing embryo experimentation. Forgive us there can be no financial security until there is security in the womb. Forgive us for rewarding covetousness and greed, and squandering our children's inheritance. Forgive us for decrying socialism (bailouts) while sending our Christian children to socialist schools.Forgive us for railing against gay marriage (which we should) while indulging in pornography and embracing divorce. Forgive us for battling AIDS (which we should) but neglecting the sin often at its root. Forgive us for making global warming an idol. Forgive us Lord and may you use the coming financial storm to judge our idolatry, and make us more reliant on you, not our 401K's. Use the coming tribulation to shake off the rotten fruit of corporate, seeker sensitive mega churches and leave fruit that lasts. Turn the father's hearts to their children, and bring true revival to America. Change is coming. God bless America, In Jesus name, Amen. From the show "Wretched"

I'm amazed by the sincere yet blatant prayer which everyone should pray and hear.
