There are times - as humans - when we think we are really something and then God reminds us that we are nothing without Him. I believe we get too caught up in our lives to consider who is giving us the next breath that we breathe. I often forget that this is not my life to live but His. God has been so good - not just to me - but to all of us. Even though life doesn't go as we plan, we must remember that we are in His hands - I am referring to the presidential election...I'm not saying that I don't worry but simply that I don't need to worry - we don't need to worry. We need to learn to trust Him - Obama getting into office did not take God by suprise! The Word of God says in Romans 13:1-2 "Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgement on themselves."
I am not saying that I agree with Obama - in fact we disagree entirely on subjects such as homosexuality and abortion - however - as a citizen of the U.S., he will be the next president. And, as a Christian, I am called to pray for him, that doesn't mean I have to like him or the things that he does, but "there is no authority except from God"...so continue to pray for our next president and our nation and rest in the fact that God has got the whole world in His hands...

I completely agree with you. I had been praying before the election that God's will be done for our country. Despite what we want, we have to remember that everything is part of God's plan.
