The purposes of the Almighty are perfect, and must prevail, though we erring mortals may fail to accurately perceive them in advance. We hoped for a happy termination of this terrible war long before this; but God knows best, and has ruled otherwise. We shall yet acknowledge his wisdom, and our own error therein. Meanwhile we must work earnestly in the best lights he gives us, trusting that so working still conduces to the great ends he ordains. Surely he intends some great good to follow this mighty convulsion, which no mortal could make, and no mortal could stay.

What does that fine prose have to do with modern day "jesusland"? Other than leaving us sorely wishing for a president that was as wise and well, christian, as Abraham Lincoln. Unlike GW, he didn't just talk the talk, and he didn't stop with the God talk either. AL wasn't 1/8 as inscrutable as GW or Cheney.
