Our New President

So, I voted for Mccain. I just thought i would get that out there to begin with. i have to be completely honest though: I was not thrilled about any candidate this time around. Congratulations to Barrak Obama for becoming our 44th president. in spite of disagreement on my part regarding many of his policies, the breakthrough for African-Americans is monumental and something to acknowledge. Race should never be an issue when determining anything, and i am more than thrilled to see the world as a whole grow out of a prejudiced mindset and focus on equality, for we are all created in God's image. 
That being said, i do disagree with him on many political issues. As a Christian, I understand it to be my responsibility as well as the responsibility of all Christians to pray that God's will will be done, and that He will guide our new president and give him wisdom and discernment. It is Yahweh who appoints the rulers and kings, and Yahweh who removes them from their position of power. May we accept this comforting truth by knowing that our God reigns, and is all good, all the time. i invite everyone to pray earnestly for President Obama and his time in office.
