Respond
Today you may be experiencing disappointment, fear, confusion, or anger over the results of the election. Maybe you’re happy with the results, but you’ve realized that you’re putting a leader on a higher throne in your mind than he or she should be. Spend some time with God being honest about how you’re feeling. Look up and ask Him how He would have you respond today in word and action. Pray that He would fill you with a heart of supernatural love, compassion, and trust.
