be on the Lord's side

As in so many things, the wise American president can learn much from Lincoln, who once told some visiting ministers that he did not worry whether God was on his side or not, “for I know that the Lord is always on the side of the right.” It was, Lincoln said, “my constant anxiety and prayer that I and this nation should be on the Lord’s side.”
