To continue the story, the next day, I was so exuberantly joyous and thanked God all day. I literally had a bounce in my step for WEEKS after the election. And the stock market was celebrating right along with me. Consumer confidence went through the roof. The whole nation was exulting. I had been in a funk for such a long time, and suddenly my entire mien changed. It was indeed a special time.

I thank God every single day for sparing us the Marxist horror of Hillary and scrapping every trace of 0bummer's horrible executive orders.

I'm just over here praying that I can somehow afford to put a new engine in my 1989 Toyota pickup

Of all things to pray for, you prayed for someone to win the 2016 election? lmao

World hunger has been SHARPLY curbed since 1970. Hunger is only 2% of what it was then. More answered prayers!!

I'm sorry, guy. I have had too many answered prayers in my life not to believe in it. I've had a great life.

So, who is praying for starving kids in Somalia, or school shootings? It must be a whole lot of people!

Took me 20-30 minutes a day. I offered the Rosary as prayer as I requested various things; protection for my family, well-being for friends and those who were sick, for the souls of loved ones. But I always ended by praying for the country, specifically for the 2016 election, that Hillary would lose.


I was FERVENT in my prayers. "Please, God. PLEASE spare the country. PLEASE don't allow the Supreme Court to go nutty left. Please help the unborn, God. Please. You can't possibly allow that evil woman to win. All the hatred and lies and criminal activity by her CANNOT be rewarded, God. PLEASE!!!!"


So all during 2015 and 2016, the media had Trump in trouble. Couldn't win the nomination. About to quit. This new scandal will be the one that does him in. On and on it went. They had him with a 90% chance to lose. Even the day before the election, they had him ten points down. No chance of winning. The exit polls, according to the early evening telecasts, had a huge Hillary win.


Still I kept on praying.


Then the tide suddenly turned. The most unlikely thing happened. From the ashes, Trump emerged the victor. Prayer worked. Fervent strong prayer every single day.


That episode confirmed for me the power of prayer and existence of God for me. God listened and answered. And I suspect a lot more than me were praying just as hard.
I would respond if I thought you were a real person, lol.

So all your prayers were based on a hate for Obama and Hillary.

Surely OP is not that dense and this is an attempt at trolling... Right?
