I am not one to use this expression much, but it is fitting here: Glory to God. ________________________________________________
Father, Lord God in Heaven.
We approach Thee humbly, but quite thankfully. You have done us a huge favor, and we thank You so much for it.
Sharing John Calvin's comments on Luke 1:46
It is God's fatherly kindness alone, and the salvation flowing from it, that fill the soul with joy. In a word, the first thing necessary for believers is, to be able to rejoice that they have their salvation in God. The next ought to follow, that, having experienced God to be a kind Father, they may "offer to him thanksgiving,"
We thank Thee that a good and righteous, God-fearing man was elected to the White House. Praise Your Name.
Our work in prayer continues, Father. We now ask that you bless the President with success in his battles for the Supreme Court, the Anwar oil fields in Alaska, the War on Terrorism, his policy and defeat of dictatorships in Iran, North Korea, and Cuba. Thank you, Lord, thank you so much for hearing our prayers, for blessing our President, and for blessing America.
Amen, Zechariah, and thank you!
