Tonight I prayed for our President....

...as tonight is a national historic event. We are in a place of opportunity to trust in the Lord and what He has known would be taking place before we did. This is not the man I voted for but he is my president. I will choose to respect and honor the men and their families that God has put into power for the United States of America and pray for them fervently. (Romans 13) There are definitely beautiful things in the moment... our 1st African-American President partnered with a man of European descent. That voice of the people actually rising in roaring waves. The moment is breath taking. What also takes my breath away is understanding what is to come. The ideals spoken of today may not be met in this life however I know the most beautiful and truest of ideals will be met in the Eternal life. I am not going to fret because the Almighty ... Lord of Lords is in complete control and his purpose and plan is all that matters. Now is time to act with purpose and truly be the hands and feet of Jesus Christ... not big mouths screaming regret at the top of our lungs. For the people of this world are listening and watching intently. This is our time to show the Light to the world with out blinding them or burning. He may not have been my choice but God has allowed him to be my President and I will honor what God is doing. Let us unite in Love ... they will know that we are Christians by our Love. If we choose to step out as Christ did listening to the hearts of the people we will learn their needs and heart desires. I would have to say by tonight's events .... They want true Change and they are weary. They are hungry and need to be fed. They are tired of the Status Quo. So it is time for us to show what it means to truly be Christ followers. Please read your scripture carefully. It wasn't picketing and protest it was acts of love and listening. We need to build an A.R.K. ( act of random kindness). So, now that I have stated my case I pray that you too will pray for our president and those going into power and the people of this world.

"Dear Precious El Roi ( God who sees),

I know that you see the new chapter in which our country is writing. I am blessed that we have such a mix of culture in our White House office. I thank you that I live in a country where we still have at this moment freedom and opportunity. May we use it to trust in You and act according to your will, reaching the world with truth in love for You. I pray for President Barak Obama and Vice President Joe Biden and their families. I pray that where your Holy Spirit resides that wisdom, truth and prayer seeking Your Will will rise. I pray that they will seek to hear Your Voice and Wisdom in decisions they make... not the bottom line. I pray your protection over the families especially the children that will be growing up in the White House. I pray for the people of our country to see the blessings we have garnered are from your providential hand as we Honor you. May we as your followers truly be like you and draw people to you as we listen, instead of pushing them farther away by our mouths. Father, I trust in you and know that your good and perfect will is taking place even when we don't always understand. I love you and thank you for hearing my heart. In the precious name of my savior Christ Jesus I ask these things. Amen."
