Thank You, Lord, for the great victory, in sudden-death overtime, that You have given us. Thank You for hearing our pleas, for overlooking our shortcomings, for giving mercy and grace.

Thank you for the sacrificial actions of the people of Ohio and elsewhere. Ohio is a state which lost more jobs than any other, and yet the good people there voted principle above bitterness. That took integrity and courage.

Thank you for the sacrificial actions of the Swift Vets and other Vietnam veterans. Suffering ingratitude and slander once was not enough, these men braved it yet again in order to serve their country one last time. And this time they saw it through to victory and vindication. We speak healing on that generation of noble soldiers.

Thank you for exposing our dishonest media, which keeps our nation locked in the status quo. Due to the confrontation between darkness and light during this campaign, the media as expected played true to form, only this time it could not get away with it as before. Thank you for the freedom we have on the Internet to disseminate the truth quickly and widely.

Thank you Lord for doing far beyond that which we ask or think. We had asked that the election would turn on truth and vision. Little did we imagine that character and moral values would become THE single largest issue driving the campaign, literally driving President Bush back into office. You have rewarded Your servant most generously, and heartened us all.

Thank you Lord that You aroused Your church as never before to get out and vote Your man into office. An estimated 4 million more Evangelicals came out and voted than in year 2000.

Thank you that the stronghold the secular Party has had on Catholics has been strongly damaged, to such a point that the spiritual battle has been taken right into that Body, dividing those who are serious about their faith from those who are merely nominal. Judgment begins in the house of God; we pray that Your gleaning would have its full effect.

Thank you that the percentage of Jews voting for the Party of faith, the Party of Israeli support, increased dramatically this year, and that most of that increase was evidenced in the younger generation. There again, strongholds are being torn down.

Father God, we asked for these things, but considering the opposition we had in the media and due to a difficult war situation, we did not anticipate that You would respond so powerfully. I trust we have learned an important faith lesson from this experience. Please help us to walk at a higher level of faith and effectiveness, for the challenges ahead will demand that we do so.

Now that values and morality and faith are the Big Story, give Your people the tongue of disciples. This is an opportunity to rescue those destined for destruction, to convert the lost. A window of opportunity has opened that we dare not miss. Prepare us in the beauty of holiness to be equal to this task. There is much work to be done, particularly among minorities.

And give our courageous and selfless troops the victory they crave abroad. We bless the nascent democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan, and ask Your protection and guidance for them. Help all who cry out for truth and freedom, especially Your persecuted.

Please protect the president and all those who are close to him, because more than ever I am convinced that this man is central to much of Your workings in our time. We are indeed blessed and thankful that You have raised him up for such a time as this. Please frustrate and confuse all ungodly opposition to Your holy and perfect will.

Thank you, Lord, for the encouragement of the Body assembling together for edification. Be glorified in our midst, through Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit.

Agreeing with you in prayer.

The enemy is already at work sending out Hillary Clinton to run for President in 2008. Father we lift up that year to you now and pray that your hand work ahead. Father we pray that the Canditate to run against her will be a man after your own heart so we can be in support.

Thank you for the Victory you have done Lord Jesus. You oh Lord are so loving and kind and gracious. Father go before us to the lost and prepare the way for them to hear and receive your Gospel of Grace and Salvation.

In Jesus Name we pray, Amen.
