That's a good question.
I'm glad you posted the prayer; it caused me to think and reflect, so thank you. And I wanted to repeat what Risky said earlier: "I also believe that it is a huge mistake to refuse to consider the message of prayers outside of one's faith. Truth doesn't care who tells it."
That's why I posted it friend. It also made me stop and think and reflect. And I was solidly convinced that we need much much more such confessional prayer as a people and nation, and how much better would we be if we recognized the sin, intentional and unintentional, that we do and asked for forgiveness and strength to do better?
I can appreciate that some of our friends here see the prayer as 'preachy' and therefore unacceptable. But obviously it is in the eye of the beholder as others saw it as a truly confessional prayer and petition to God to help us be better people. I see both points of view, but come down more on the side of Pastor Wright's honorable expression of what was on his heart.
