A Special Christmas-Season Prayer
December 25, 2006 at 3:07 pm
Tired of conventional, standard-issue prayers to The Lord? Want one that could make McCain-Feingold advocates and do-gooders everywhere wince?
Then let’s remember one of the most direct prayers of all time, offered by the late Reverend Richard Halverson, a Senate chaplain years ago.
As cited by Bill Thomas in The Washingtonian magazine, Reverend Halverson once opened a Senate session with this appeal:
“Sovereign Lord … we pray for the senators running for reelection … Give wisdom to those who direct their campaigns. Give the senators special persuasion in speech … and provide wherever needed adequate campaign funds.”
Can I get an Amen? Merry Christmas everyone!
