Sometimes our prayers are not answered by the Lord. I figure the moral shape that our country is in that if I was the Lord (which I’m not) I would not answer the prayers of our good people just yet. I believe we have a lot to learn and to be humbled before the Lord will hear our cries and prayers for righteousness.
Thanks for the post, first time I ever consistently prayed for the nation and an election. Disappointed.
Who failed to pray?
Thank you all!
You can’t pray your way into election victories. It just doesn’t usually work that way. People should really knock it off with this notion that if we pray enough it will help us win elections. It probably won’t.
To win elections you need polished, skilled politicians who can sell people on a set of ideas. That’s it. There is no guarantee people will vote the right way either - even if they are god fearing folks.
In the past couple of months I have lost my job, my fiancé the love of my life, and now my country. Where else is there to go but to my knees? My tear ducts have run dry and my heart torn apart.
Amen. His will be done. we have been judged and found wanting. but take heart. our Lord is also merciful. i believe that he will find ways to defend his remnant. let us gear up for 2014. the lame duck is coming and we still hold the house, thank God. God bless us all.
This should serve as an example of why we shouldn't be finding ourselves in the position to pray that an abortionist like Myth would win an election.
What do we Christians not understand about the Blessing of living in a Representative government?
What message do we send God when we vote for an abortionist, false prophet following, believes-he-will-one-day-be"god" candidate to represent us?
Thank you, Blogger. I am continuing to pray. It isn’t over yet, as far as I’m concerned.
And regardless of the election outcome, I try to remember that God’s timeline is eternity, not four years.
May God bless all my fellow FReepers. And God bless the USA.
Thanks so much for this. I am so disappointed..I thought for sure we would win. But my wise aunt called me the other day and knew we would not because of the things you speak of. I so worry about my 4 year old....but I know that I know that I know.....
My biggest problem in all this is that, even as I was praying for an Obama loss, I knew in my conscience that I was praying for the victory of a blasphemous and idolatrous heretic who believes 1) he will some day be equal to God, 2) Jesus and Satan are brothers, and 3) that God had sexual intercourse with Mary.
God’s answer, I believe, is simply that He cannot endorse such things, and those who believe in Him—myself included—should have known better than to think He would bless our chosen course. Instead, He left America to her own depravity and we get four more years under a Marxist who hates the very country he governs.
The lesson is that we should never again trust our nation’s fate to the godless northeastern GOP establishment, who serve mammon rather than Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Woe to those who call good evil and evil good.
Why didn’t God listen to us hard working taxing paying Americans?
I truly believe that God has given America over to her sin.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Jer 14:11 Then said the LORD unto me, Pray not for this people for their good.
Jer 14:12 When they fast, I will not hear their cry; and when they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will not accept them: but I will consume them by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence.
Time is up America.
Tonight you voted for murdering babies , advancing the homosexual agenda , and abandoning Israel.
You sold out your God given rights for a government handout.
You turned your back on God and he is going to turn his back on you. God is just and you can not expect him to bless this nation when this nation has sent him packing and kicked him out.
You have chosen leaders who think this country is over populated . Don’t worry they will do their best to take care of that problem by letting your parents and grandparents die without medical treatment , that shouldn’t bother you since you sold them out to get your free contraceptives , abortions and sex change operations.
Don’t expect those grandparents/parents to leave you anything because the government you elected is just going to take everything they worked for all their lives just after they put them to death .
You have traded freedom for slavery . Soon you will find out what it is to be a slave of a terrible master (government) Don’t cry when they take what you earn and leave you sitting there hungry , thirsty and out in the cold .
America you deserve the government you elected tonight and you are going to deserve every last bit of judgement and punishment that comes your way. America is NOT to big to fail.

Only the people who curse God have no hope. I choose to put my faith in Jesus because I know I’m a member of a higher kingdom that transcends our simple national boundaries.
The Bible is filled with examples of God giving people over to their sin when they’re bound and determined to follow it, often with disastrous consequences. I can see that this will be no different.
But I will remain faithful.
As disappointed or heartbroken as I am now, it was my privilege to pray with all of you.
My prayer was that God help us to bring our Country back on the right track. Tonight we were shown that the majority is oblivious to what has happened in the last 4 years. Maybe God is telling us we have to work harder, not lose focus and promote better candidates.
Good night everyone, stay strong and don’t let division and bitterness come between us.
Thank you for your wonderful post and the opportunity for me to be a part of the prayer group. The republic is in God’s hands. I pray that this knowledge will help us all through the difficult times ahead.
Listening to Vernon McGee comment on Isaiah. Hezekiah is surrounded. It’s hopeless. Always interesting timing on what particular passages come within earshot at different times. I’ve learned that when all else fails, God never does, He just does things in his time.
My Buddhist Prayers (chanted amidst clouds of fine Scotch vapors) are with you as well.
