Happy Tuesday…and Happy Inauguration Day!! If you have followed my blog or know me even just a little bit, you undoubtedly know that the Obama/Biden ticket was not the one I supported during our election. No, I did not support Obama. However, he is now the president of our country and I truly believe as a Christian American citizen, I must now support President Obama. (Is that easy for me to say….not really, but I do believe it is true.) By supporting my president – as Scripture tells me to do – I also support this country.
I love my country…..and it is, indeed, in need of support and the best thing I can do for this nation is pray. Often I am overwhelmed with the needs of our nation. Can my prayers really make a difference? No doubt Nehemiah felt much the same way when he saw the need in Jerusalem; however, God used his humble heart and willing spirit to, indeed, make a difference – Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s wall in only 52 days! It all began with a prayer in Nehemiah 1. As Christians, lets commit to pray – not only for our country but for our new president, vice president and those he puts into office with him.
Truly…..God bless America!!
Jennifer,
I was not an Obama supporter, either, but now as he’s become President of our great country, I will support him and pray for him. May he lead our country well! Yes…God Bless America!
You said it much better than I could. I second your post! God bless America….
Jennifer,
I totally agree with you…could not have said it better! We are a blessed people, but with that blessing comes responsibility. I am committing to pray for our new leadership every day. May God continue to bless America!
My words exactly. I have pretty much watched this all day and have prayed alot today!
I will now support him and pray for him and his family. May God continue to bless America.
oh boy. i can’t even bring myself to say i will support him. i can’t get those words to cross my lips yet. i’m still in the ” let’s pretend he doesn’t exist” moment. i love this country very much and i think that’s why it’s so hard for me to accept it still.
