Elected....Now What?

I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. This is good and pleases God our Savior

1 Timothy 2:1-3 

 

Now that the election is over and our votes have been cast, what do we do now?  Well, let me be honest, if your candidate did not win, you need to take your disappointment, anger, frustration, and all other feelings to God and ask Him to give you the peace of knowing He is still the one in control, regardless who got elected. 

 

 If your candidate won, you need to ask God to guide them, help them be a strong and just leader, and give them the wisdom to do what's best for the country.

 

You see, regardless of who is elected, we are commanded to pray for them!
