Father, our nation is awash in sexual foolishness. We have exalted our lusts and pursued them with reckless abandon.
Father, for over forty years, our nation has sought to escape the consequences of sexual immorality by legally permitting violence against the weakest members of the human race.
Father, our nation is rent apart by ethnic and racial strife. Our sad history is filled with racial superiority, animosity, and oppression of the most grievous kind.
Father, we are an anxious and fearful people. For all of our bluster and bragging, we are so easily shaken.
Father, our nation is shot through with envy, covetousness, and greed. We crave and crave, and demand and demand more and more.
Father, we are a nation with a lying tongue. We love lies. We have exchanged your truth for a lie.
Father, at the heart of our nation’s sins is the great sin of pride. We have placed ourselves and our wants and desires at the center of reality and sought to conform reality to us.
