I Need to Take Politics More Seriously

Years ago I used to be on the conservative political bandwagon. Then I fell off. I didn't switch sides, just realizd with some help from scripture that the Gospel is not co-dependent on fair political weather.
But now I see the need to be more politically responsible without elevating political ideology into a necessity. So I'm taking my stand this Fall and fighting for a worthy cause.

PRAYER
Lord, let my heart and mind be awestruck by the wonder and majesty that is You. As I enter your throne room in prayer remind me of the signs of your omnipotence and perfect genius working through your creation. I am but a man, unworthy of any good gift from above, but in your great mercy and steadfast righteousness you have chosen to bring me into communion with You by your Son's perfect sacrifice. Help me to delight more and more in You, my Savior.
Keep my eyes on your Kingdom from moment to moment, because my flesh pulls at my heart, deceiving it to put confidence in the temporary, feeble pleasures of worldliness. I am prone to wander, in my pride, like a foolish lamb with no sense. My haughty eyes turn so quickly from gazing at your glory; they do not see the snares this world has set before me. Grant me a repentant heart that I may not stray from You, my good Shepherd. Let my every thought come under submission to your will.
Thank you for your undeserved mercy and kindness; for your patience in the gentle restoration project of a broken man such as myself. Only by Your will might I have the gift of breathing my next breath. Thank you for the Body of Christ that seeks your will. I pray that we walk together towards you, in fellowship in this life and in Worship for all eternity.
Righteous in Christ & preserved by the Spirit,
Jason

WORSHIP SONG
All I Have Is Christ
I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You
