“First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way.” (1 Timothy 2:1–2)

Today we have a new President-Elect. The nation is divided between those who are excited and those who fear the next four years. In last night’s election coverage, we continually heard the nation being segmented into Whites, Blacks, or Hispanics; college educated or not; man or woman; Democrat or Republican; upper or lower class. We heard about everything that divides us as a people.

But, there is one thing that unites us. We are all children of God. And because of our mediator, Jesus Christ, we can boldly approach His throne of grace.

As Americans, as Christians, as children of God, let us boldly approach our Lord and pray for the Nation, our new Leaders, and the citizens that make up this country and others. Let us pray for a spiritual awakening. Let us pray for a Christian resurgence. Let us pray that Jesus Christ will be crowned King in the hearts of all men.

Let your light shine!
