"O God, our Father, we pray that the people of
America, who have made such progress in material
things, many now seek to grow in spiritual
understanding.
For we have improved means, but not improved
ends. We have better ways of getting there, but we
have no better places to go. We can save more
time, but are not making any better use of the time
we save.
We need Thy help to do something about the
world's true problems - the problem of lying, which
is called propaganda; the problem of selfishness,
which is called self-interest; the problem of greed,
which is often called profit; the problem of lust,
masquerading as love; the problem of materialism,
the hook which is baited with security.
Hear our prayers, O Lord, for the spiritual
understanding which is better than political
wisdom, that we may see our problems for what
they are. This we ask in Jesus' name. Amen."
~ Peter Marshall

Amen! If these were the true prayers asked by Christians you would find me in Church! Where is the real Jesus when you need him? Seems like too many are using his name to commit spiritual atrocities.

I would add: that our leaders may understand that nothing can be solved through war, for we are commanded to love and pray for our enemies.
Amen.
