Dear Father,
The elections are over --- You have given us a great victory. You have given us a Republican House in Congress and in the legislature. You have sent these politicians a clear message. We believe Your instructions to them must be obeyed.
We can not yet judge whether this congress and legislature are going to take your guidance seriously. There are indicators that the GOP elites are floating trial balloons and erecting straw-men to sample public opinion and political risk when they waffle on the clear directions You sent them.
They are pondering which of your conservative principles are negotiable and which can be ignored.
Father, we are your people, and tonight we pray that you will focus our attention and energies on these weak and self-serving politicians.
It is our prayer that You will guide us --- that we may reconnoiter their every vote. So that we may launch a grass-roots counterattack, to overwhelm them with massive reproof --- otherwise, we stand no chance of protecting Your great gifts of freedom and our beloved Constitution from further damage.
Show us Your way Father, to bring those politicians to heel, who would stray, who would waffle and equivocate --- and who would only pretend to be with us as we strive to restore the Founder's vision.
Father, your task to us, your people, seems clear.
We believe You are directing us to build --- and --- cross over a new bridge of conservative values in politics --- at all levels. If we do this, I believe You will lead us to a brighter future --- borne of Your love and wisdom in Philadelphia in the hot summer of 1787.
If it is Your will --- we will further this noble creation of yours --- a free government in Your image.
In Jesus' Name We Pray,
Amen.
