Post-Election Prayer for Our Nation – 2016

November 11, 2016 by Jack Emmott 6 Comments

Lord, I am deeply blessed to be living in the United States of America, the greatest democracy on Earth. I thank You for an election process in which changes in governmental leadership are based on all my fellow citizens exercising the Constitutional right to vote. In the wake of the election of our new President, millions of Americans are excited and hopeful as to new National leadership. In contrast there are millions of voters who are upset, afraid, and feel hopeless and disconnected from the American dream. For me and everyone, I pray that You guide our President and all our elected leaders in the House of Representatives and the Senate to take actions now which unify us, which embrace the diversity which makes America great, which heal wounds of anger, distrust and division and which afford all of us and the generations to follow the best chance to flourish in our country and in Your kingdom. God, I know elections come and go, but, Your love is forever. Amen

    Thank you for the post-election prayer, Jack. I too am a polio survivor; but bulbar polio either kills or does little in the way of permanent paralysis. Through the grace of God, great therapy, and praying family/community, I was among the few who survived it in 1954. So I too know the efficacy of prayer, and I appreciate your sharing the prayers you forward.

    Very well stated. I am saddened that so many people seem to think their protests will make a difference and in my opinion the media strokes their fires of discontent by covering the negative actions. I pray the fears will be overcome through prayer and through positive actions of the new administration.

I am a polio survivor. The fact that I suffered paralysis at the age of six is, in some ways, unimportant. Bad things happen to everyone. Viewed differently...
