Thanksgiving Prayer After the 2016 Election

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You, Jesus for the victory in our nation’s election! Victory for the unborn; victory for the sanctity of marriage; victory for freedom of religion; and on and on for the victories for the freedom to follow the righteousness You have set down for us in Your Word. You are faithful ! – Faithful to keep Your promises, faithful to hear our cries, faithful to hear our prayers!! You heard our cries for mercy! You, once again have proved Yourself! You overlooked our fears and our doubts! You just accepted our “mustard seed” faith and showed Yourself great and faithful on our behalf! You are good, and You are great, and greatly to be praised!! We shout with Andre Crouch, “How can I say thanks for the things You have done for us? Things so undeserved, yet You did to prove Your love for us.” This victory shows the character of the Almighty, Omniscient, All Loving, Ever Present and Ever Merciful God – Jehovah Jireh, our Provider! Now, we need You to hear our cries for our newly elected President! Father, bring him to the foot of the cross in humility. May he openly acknowledge You as the Sovereign God Who rules the affairs of man, Who loves us even when we have walked so far from You and listened to the lies of the enemy of our soul, Satan, and You now wait to give us forgiveness, a clean heart, newness and restoration of all we have lost. Protect him, spirit, soul and body from Satan, our enemy. May he be the leader in humbling himself, praying, seeking Your face, and turning from his wicked ways (II Chr.7:14). Then he can claim the promise for You to “heal our land.” Only You can heal our hearts, so may Your Holy Spirit move in the hearts of all the people of this land to follow You first, then our leader, Donald Trump, in becoming a dedicated people to the righteousness of God You set forth in Your Word. Father, help us “to not remember the former things, neither consider the things of old, but to look to the new thing that is now springing forth (Isa.43:18-19). Thank You for giving us a new start, a new hope, and new courage to stand boldly for righteousness. “We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You” (II Chr.20:12c)! Hear our prayer, O Lord, our Strength and our Redeemer! Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing! Know and recognize that the Lord is God! It is He Who has made us, not we ourselves! We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. Come into His presence and up close to Him with thanksgiving and praise! Be thankful and praise His name, Jehovah – the Almighty, Eternal, All Powerful and Sovereign God! For the Lord is good; His mercy and loving-kindness are everlasting. His faithfulness and truth endure to all generations (Ps.100). (This is my heart’s response to the miraculous answer to our pleas for help regarding our nation! We must not forget to praise the One Who is the only One Who could bring about this victory, and I hope you will join me). Mary Jones
