The day after

   The signs are down, the campaign is over, the winners have been declared.  I like what a friend of mine had to say. "I'm tired of people telling me that if my candidate doesn't win I'm moving to a different country.  I cast my vote and if the person I voted for doesn't win I will not  join the lynch mob".  Great saying.
   Today we have the privilege to voice our opinion, by voting, tomorrow we have the obligation, to hold our elected officials up in prayer.  They have been chosen for the promises they have made, but our source is God. If we find yourselves saying "god almighty!",  we should instead fall on our knees and say, "God Almighty!"
     Dear Father God,
         We come before you in the name of Jesus, and we pray that your spirit would be present in the halls of Congress, and the Oval Office, and at every meeting.  And we pray the same for each state and for our local government.  May God have his way in the days to come.  Amen

Pray for all who are in authority over you,  that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all Godliness and honesty.  1Tim. 2:2
