Prayer of Thanksgiving with the election of President Elect Barack Obama
.
God we thank you for the election of President Elect Barack Obama. We thank you for showing us in him a new song to sing. We thank you for his example of diligent hard work, careful planning, inclusion and involvement on every level for every person who desired to participate. In his election we see living proof that you have not forgotten your children who were brought to these shores in slavery, endured the indignity of segregation, and the crises of contempt in modern civilization. We pray for the safety of our new president and his family. We pray that you will order his steps in a way that is pleasing to you. We pray that his election will not only increase prosperity and wealth in America, but that it will spark a positive change in attitude around the world. Under his leadership we pray that America will find new ways to feed the hungry, heal the sick, provide work to those who are unemployed, care for the elderly , educate the young and lead a war torn world to the altar of peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.
