A Post Election Prayer

Oh God of all mercy and grace.

Your judgments are altogether just and thy ways beyond searching.

We ask tonight that you would be with our President elect Obama.
Grant him a wisdom, and discernment that would further your ways.
Where his need is repentance we pray that you would grant it.
Deliver him from his previous sins and give him a heart for life and freedom.
Remind him to “Kiss the Son, lest the Son be angry.”

Grant the loyal opposition to dissent faithfully.
Fill them with courage and boldness.
Help them not to despair.
Grant them grace, to be faithful to you, to forestall the wickedness that some might seek.

Most especially what we ask of you as a result of this election is that your elect would be more inclined to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ and turn to King Jesus and live. Send forth thy Spirit to convict the world of guilt and righteousness and judgment and of the pardoning nature of the Lord Jesus for sensible sinners.

O magnificent and just God, in wrath remember mercy.

In the name of thy beloved King Jesus

AMEN

I am a Pastor of a small Church in Mid-Michigan who delights in my family, my congregation and my calling. I am postmillennial in my eschatology. Paedo-Calvinist Covenantal in my Christianity Reformed in my Soteriology Presuppositional in my apologetics Familialist in my family theology Agrarian in my regional community social order belief Christianity creates culture and so Christendom in my national social order belief Mythic-Poetic / Grammatical Historical in my Hermeneutic Pre-modern, Medieval, & Feudal before Enlightenment, modernity, & postmodern Reconstructionist / Theonomic in my Worldview One part paleo-conservative / one part micro Libertarian in my politics Systematic and Biblical theology need one another but Systematics has pride of place Some of my favorite authors, Augustine, Turretin, Calvin, Tolkien, Chesterton, Nock, Tozer, Dabney, Bavinck, Wodehouse, Rushdoony, Bahnsen, Schaeffer, C.

It is my hope that people will be challenged to reconsider what are considered the givens of the current culture. Your biggest help to me dear reader will be to often remind me that God is Sovereign and that all that is, is because it pleases him.
