Staying out of the political pit

Kate Dearborn

The United States is in the midst of an election season, and many are frustrated at the gulf there seems to be between and within the two major parties. They’re also frustrated at the media coverage, and, at times, a lack of what appear to be real answers to problems facing this country. Much of that frustration surfaces in the form of anger—anger toward parties, candidates, and the media.

We talked about the fact that one way to approach healing the polarizing issues was to trust the fact that God is good.

The problems with the current election need our prayer, but we ourselves need to be watchful not to get pulled into the pit of anger, frustration, and fear. We can find peace, even amid chaos, through a spiritual understanding of God’s presence and harmonious government.
