He couldn't have won otherwise...

Leading up to election day, thousands of people prayed for McCain to win. And thousands of people prayed for Obama to win. I heard multiple interviews with people saying they were doing exactly that.

I will also assume that at least a few people did what I did, and prayed that God's will would be done.

I voted my conscience and my beliefs, and voted for Obama. (But really, who doesn't vote their beliefs and conscience? Does anyone really vote for someone for any other reason?) But I did not pray for my candidate, in any race, to win. Instead I prayed that God's will would be done, and did not presume to know God's will in a complex, multifaceted situation. How could I presume that I know as much as God about the hearts of these two men, about what they will actually do if elected? I am more than willing to be wrong on something like this if God just happens to know better than me who should hold a certain office at a certain time. It seems presumtuous to do anything other than humbly pray that God's will be done.
