I have this friend named Josh. I love him to death, but he loves to talk about politics and all the scary things happening in the world.

I admit that it makes me uncomfortable. Doubly uncomfortable because 1) I know he's right, and 2) I don't want to think about it because it does not invite the Spirit.

I have been unsettled about this for a few days. But this morning, I was reading the scriptures, and I realized that He's got the whole world in His hands. 

The world is not out of control. God is in control. This is not some aberration of the plan. This is the fulfillment of God's plan. He is in total control, and He will provide for those who trust Him! 

I felt so helpless, that there was nothing I can do in the face of economic uncertainty, political corruption, and rampant statism. But I was wrong. There IS something I can do.

Live the gospel with all my heart, might, mind and strength. Serve my neighbor. Love God. Go to the temple. Do my family history work. Teach my children to resist the devil and serve the Lord.

That is what you can do, Jarom.
