For us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live. And there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. (1 Corinthians 8:6)
We can all get wrapped up in what's happening in our country. We can worry about who the president will be. We can worry about where our country (or world) is headed. We can worry about the evil that has been and will be committed. We can worry about the effect on our children. The list can go on and on.
I have a choice. Let the worry of events I can't control drive me. Or let a faith and trust in the One True God move me.
I am doing my utmost not to be overly concerned with the things of the world. (But I am human, so it does creep in!) I'm trying to be more concerned about what will last for eternity. I'd like to focus less on the poor behaviors of people and more on the fact that they may not know Jesus. He is the true way of transformation. He is the One True God. He is the one who provides true life.
Jesus: I give my sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish. No one can snatch them from my hand. My Father, who has given them to me is greater than all. No one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one. (John 10:28-30)
worship Him 24/7...

PS - Ponder this as you listen to One True God by Steven Curtis Chapman and Chris Tomlin.
One voice in the dark
A song that lights up the stars
One breath that gives life
One sovereign in power
Who speaks with thunder and fire
One Lord, one King
There is no other that can compare to You
You are
The One alone in greatness
The One who never changes
Jesus, You are
The One who rose in power
The One who reigns forever
Jesus, the One true God
One man on a cross
One light of the world
One Name, one Word
One Way to be saved
One Lamb that was slain
One Love above all
There is no other that can compare to You
We have seen the glory of
The One and only Son of God
Yes, we have seen the glory
The One and only Son of God
