Pray for our Leaders!!

I hope everyone took the opportunity to vote yesterday. We live in such a wonderful country to have the privilege to vote. Now that we know how the election turned out, please continue to pray for our leaders no matter who you voted for. If President Monson can congratulate President Obama for a victory, we can surely do the same. What a great example our Prophet is.


The First Presidency and the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints issued the following statement today:

...We congratulate President Obama on winning a second term as President of the United States.

After a long campaign, this is now a time for Americans to come together. It is a long tradition among Latter-day Saints to pray for our national leaders i

n our personal prayers and in our congregations. We invite Americans everywhere, whatever their political persuasion, to pray for the President, for his administration and the new Congress as they lead us through difficult and turbulent times. May our national leaders reflect the best in wisdom and judgment as they fulfill the great trust afforded to them by the American people.

We also commend Governor Romney for engaging at the highest level of our democratic process which, by its nature, demands so much of those who offer themselves for public service. We wish him and his family every success in their future endeavors.
