Prayers for the Family of Madelyn Dunham

Monday November 3, 2008

 

Madelyn Dunham
A Prayer for the Obama Family

Please share your prayers for the Obama family as they mourn the loss of their

cornerstone, Obama's grandmother, Madelyn Dunham.

 

 

On the eve of the election that may make him the next president of the United States, Senator Barack Obama now must mourn the loss of his grandmother who was one of his biggest supporters during this season. In this time of loss, I pray that Barack and his family would be strengthened by remembering that weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning. Let the family cleave to the wonderful memories they have of Madelyn and may Barack take comfort in knowing that his grandmother is watching him from above and will be praying for his strength on tomorrow going forward. Let all those who will pray for the strength and courage of Barack Obama in the hours to come.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Barack Obama and his family. His grandmother will surely be missed. I also wish to say that while he gives so much credit to his grandmother for who he is and where he is today, I, too, must give her credit. You see, this election has touched me in a profound way because of Barack Obama (and his wife Michelle), so therefore Barack's grandmother has indirectly affected my life as well. When he wins the election, I can only imagine how many others will have the same testimony. Madelyn Dunham has left her mark in this world, to which I must say "Thanks." May God bless and comfort the Obama family during this trying time.

My heart is sad, by the news. Yet, Iam encouraged. The faith and the love of a loving grandmother lifting her bi-racial child to the doors of the white house, who will help mend lives and build communites through the world. I am sure she was a great woman and a rock which assist him with more than just finances. She also instilled wisdom and a undying faith which is only incured by love.
Now that's American!
