Let's Get Behind President-Elect Obama

Now is the time for all Americans to put their political differences aside and get behind our
new president-elect, Barack Obama. Our country faces many challenges at this point in its history. Therefore, we cannot afford to be a divided nation – even for a short time. Wouldn't our enemies just love that?
 
I know many of John McCain's supporters have hurt feelings right now and it will take time for them to heal. That's natural. But if you're one of them, try to be an adult about it. Resist the temptation to pout, grumble, and criticize. Don't allow yourself to develop Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) over the results of this election. It's not the end of the world -- really. 
 
You may be among those who believe Obama's a Muslim, or that he's dangerous, or that he's a terrorist. If that's what you want to believe, have it your way -- your mind is obviously already made up and there's nothing I can do to change it. Then, of course, there are those of us who have legitimate concerns about Obama -- concerns about his positions on abortion, gay issues, wealth redistribution, energy, court appointments, etc.
 
However, we all should at least give our new president-elect a chance. Let's start by praying for him. Isn't that what true Christians ought to do?
