America and me

Sorry ahead of time for my disorganized writing for it is difficult for me to put my thoughts on 'paper' when I can hardly think straight.

I am so unsure of political opinions, but I think that I may have too cynical of an outlook, but maybe I don't. On the topic of government one popular verse is: “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar," but the 2nd part is a little less quoted "and give to God what belongs to God.” So I'll pay my taxes, but, well, everything is God's. My whole life is. So I dedicate my life to God, a daily struggle to walk the narrow path as my priorities askew.

What joy for the nation whose God is the Lord, whose people he has chosen as his inheritance. Psalm 33:12
-Well this is referring to the Jewish nation as they were God's chosen people, but are we a Godly nation? Should we strive to be? Do I distance myself from the political realm and focus on my own small life? Do I actively attempt to bring a Christian view into all the mayhem, regardless of the seemingly impossibility? "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." Philippians 4:13 And so I answer my own question. Do not give up, persevere. Though things may not go as I expect, God can use my efforts in ways unimaginable. But then I need to keep my focus on God, not on the world. Focus on the people, God's children. And so my mind is boggled by the largeness of my country, my state, and even the city. How can I, less than 1 in a million, do anything. But then I remember God, God is unimaginably grand, unmeasurable. But I find this verse a good guide on how to lead my life with things on a grander scale.
I urge you, first of all, to pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them. Pray this way for kings and all who are in authority so that we can live peaceful and quiet lives marked by godliness and dignity. 1 Timothy 2:1-2

When the godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan. -Proverbs 29:2
*We have been groaning for awhile, so what does that say?
