What if My Guy Didn't Win?

As a rule, I tend to stay away from politics on the Internet. I'm not going to break that rule today. I have opinions, and I freely admit my opinions are influenced by my Christian faith.

That said, now that the elections are over, how are we to respond? Regardless of which candidate won, we have to go on. If our candidate was victorious, we're probably excited about the possibilities the future presents. But what if our guy didn't win? How do we respond?

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.
I find I have nothing to add to the Apostle Paul's directive!
