Pray for the United States of America and Obama

I got the following in an email and agree that we need to pray and also to show the President-elect respect.

"Well, dear friends, we have spent the last few months praying for the outcome of this election and obviously, God chose to allow a man who in our judgment was not right, to become president of our great nation. We don't understand why, but our job now is to pray for him (for some, a difficult thing) and pray for our country. I don't know if God is teaching us something or if possibly Obama won't be as bad as we think, but praise God anyway. If Job could praise God after losing his children and all he had, we can praise God in the loss of this election. Remember that God can see the big picture and we can't (Romans 8:28 And we know that to them that love God all things work together for good, [even] to them that are called according to [His] purpose. )! Please continue to join us in fervent prayer today for the future of our nation...and for our new president."
