A Time to Heal ... Our Nation

The election is over, the results are in and we have a President-elect, Senator Barack Obama.
He may have been your choice, or he may not have been your choice; but he has been elected in a fair and democratic process to become our country's next President.
I invite all of us to spend five minutes in prayer this week for unity in our nation and for God to touch the heart and prick the conscience of the President-elect, all of Congress, and other elected officials, to lead our nation in a moral and just fashion, with compassion and wisdom.
We were once proud to be called "One nation under God" and we can be again – remember what the Lord says in the Bible: "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." -- 2 Chronicles 7:14
Please find five minutes sometime this week, during your lunch or this evening for a time of dedicated prayer. Let us pray for a healing of our land and for an opportunity for us to witness to our faith as a unifying force. And may God receive the glory. Thank you and my God bless our nation.
