What shall we do?

All of us who call ourselves Christian have a huge responsibility tomorrow November 5th. the responsibility is that of praying for those in authority over us. Paul is very clear in Romans

Romans 13:1-7

Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. [2] Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. [3] For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same: [4] For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. [5] Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake. [6] For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing. [7] Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

Our responsibility is clear, our personal choice may or may not of become the president of the United States and I am sure that there will be many discussions and arguments as to why the results happen as they did, no matter what we must pray or we will be in a place of disobedience before our Father in heaven.

Shall we pray brethren or shall we complain, you make the choice
