I have never felt so hopeless and depressed. I cried harder than I have since losing my earthly father and hero, Pop, 4 years ago.<br \/>\nEvery time I had even a slight thought about Obama, my eyes welled and I&#8217;d find myself on my knees crying out to God. The whole thing really had me going for at almost 3 days, I couldn&#8217;t shake the feeling of doom for millions of babies&#8230; America&#8230; the world!<br \/>\nI didn&#8217;t watch the news. I didn&#8217;t want to talk to people, not even my husband. I was glad my pro-life (Democrat) son who came home to work and vote McCain\/Palin was tied up working on his laptop. I didn&#8217;t want to put on a happy face for him either&#8230;.<br \/>\nI couldn&#8217;t eat! The day after the election I stayed balled up in bed for half the day, which is very unusual for me. I&#8217;m usually up at 5am every day, 6am on weekends. I was so terribly sad.<br \/>\nI finally got up and with great panic started searching my Bible for Scripture and I prayed and prayed, face down on the floor. With every prayer and Bible reading I became strengthened, but just a little bit at a time.<br \/>\nStill shaken, I started calling my best and closest pro-life friends. First on my list was Alveda King [pro-life leader and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King]. While she also admitted to a deep sadness, she reminded me we must not limit God. Others I called had similar things to say and offering Scripture.<br \/>\nIf we believe God is who He says He is, then we must also believes He knows who Barack is and what is at stake in an Obama presidency.<br \/>\nGOD has comforted me, mended my heart and strengthened me. I thank my LORD and SAVIOR for such loving sisters and brothers in CHRIST.<br \/>\nAnd I thank you, Jill. Reading the article this morning reminded me again that we have a big fight ahead of us, but we serve a big God &#8211; the BIGGEST!<br \/>\nI am happy God has chosen us to serve in this fight, this great mission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The first part I so can relate to.  As for the second, other people&#8217;s hope brings me hope. What else is there?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Jill Stanek: Reading your article brought back most of what I felt after the election.
