Political Insights And Prayers

I am certainly not surprised Obama won the election, but deep down I was hoping and praying that McCain would pull it off in the end. McCain was obviously not the popular vote. I admit, was saddened and disappointed with the outcome of the election. I even shed some tears. However, I have thought about it and prayed a lot since then, and now I AM EXCITED. I had to realize that God is still in control and He is still on the throne. I don't agree with many things Obama stands for and supports. Some of those things I am very PASSIONATLY against. But, I am excited to see how God is going work through this country. I greatly respect Obama and his wife. They have a beautiful family and have worked hard to get where they are. Obama has a presence that attracts and inspires people. He has that charisma that some of our most popular Presidents in the past have had. He comes across with that “IT” factor. So what do I do now? Now, I have all the more reason to pray for God to work in the life of Obama. God allowed this to happen. He can MOVE mountains. He can HEAL the blind. He can rise above all the craziness in this world. I'm going to pray BIG! Nothing is impossible....this country has been dying for change for so long. But that change is so much bigger than economics, healthcare or saving energy, our world is in desperate need for a LIFE CHANGE. And that can only come through the work of our Lord and Savoir, Jesus Christ. There may not be a republican representing this country in the White House, but God is there, and my prayer is that people in that White House will hear His voice. The world is never going to run perfectly, that is just not possible. We are all sinners, we all fall short, and we all make bad decisions. God is gracious, and willing to forgive. God gives us hope, God gives us answers, and God will guide us, if we let Him.

Dear God, I pray for each and every one of our countries leaders, that you would keep them safe, protect them from harm, and be with them as they make decisions and face each issue that faces our country at this time. I pray for God’s mighty had to rest on our new President-elect. Amen.
