Lord God, thank you for the opportunity to vote for a man like Barack Obama for president. Thank you for his willingness to serve, his intellect and integrity, and his commitment to his fellow citizens. Lord, please keep him safe. Change the hearts, oh Father, of those who hate him, who mock him, who lie about him, and who wish him harm, and bless him and his family. May we keep ever diligent in our concern for the poor, in our thirst for justice, and in our hope for prosperity, and may the United States of America fulfill the promise of the faith in Christ Jesus that so many millions profess.
Amen. May it be.
