How should we respond to the election of our new president?

Below are 4 ways we are to respond to the election of our new president:

Praise

Praise God that we have come so far from the horrible injustice of racism. This election will mark a monumental day in the history of man kind. I am privileged to have witnessed it.

Pray

Pray for the protection of Obama. That our nation is now to be led by a black president is a glorious thing. Those who do not agree with this will go to extreme measures to change it. Pray for the protection our new president.

Pray for wisdom and that Obama would be led by the word of God and not the foolishness of mans own thoughts.

Pray for a changed heart toward abortion. Pray that the injustice of abortion (which is equally as heinous as the holocaust and slavery were) would be seen for what it is. May God enlighten the eyes of Obama's heart to protect and not destroy the lives of unborn children.

Respect and do not slander

There are many who desired a different outcome to this election. God, by His sovereign hand, has put Obama into leadership over our nation (Rom 13:1). Our response to this is to pray for him and to pay respect to him. Let none who follow Jesus slander those whom God puts into authority (Rom 13:1-7).
