Super Tuesday!

I rarely get political on this blog.....because that's not what this blog is all about. But I live in Ohio and today I will be voting! It's a BIG day here in Ohio. I hope that you are a voter who votes, whomever you vote for. I feel very blessed that I can vote....and humbled to pray and trust for the outcome.....whatever it may be....I trust a great and mighty God who really is in charge of it all. I never forget that....even when my candidates don't win. He knows what He is doing.

Here's some great thoughts from Nancy Leigh DeMoss :

Pray for America
• Pray that God will turn people’s hearts toward Himself, and that He will be glorified in the outcome of the upcoming election.
• Pray that God’s people will demonstrate a spirit of repentance and prayer--individually and corporately. (2 Chron. 7:14)
• Pray that God will raise up righteous leaders who will model integrity and authenticity. (Eph. 4:1-2; Prov. 14:34)
• Pray that Americans will see their spiritual poverty; that our nation’s citizens will awaken to their great spiritual need. (Joel 3:12)
• Pray that godly men and women will be placed in positions of authority so that God’s people can rejoice. (Prov. 29:2)
