Do you get 'election anxiety'?
As the U.S. elections approach, many find themselves overwhelmed. Political tensions and daily anxieties are heightened during this season thanks to the media profiting off of our fear and anxiety. That leaves us searching for lasting peace. In such moments, Psalm 94 offers a timely invitation to find stability in God’s steadfast love, especially in verses 18-19, where the psalmist writes:
“When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your unfailing love, Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” - Psalm 94:18-19, NIV

Have you experienced any anxiety surrounding the election this year? I know I have—anxiety over how tense of a subject it is, how much conflict it has caused in our country and families, and anxiety about the future.
I loved this from contributor Joshua Swanson: “As we approach election day, let’s make Psalm 94 our prayer. When we feel our “foot slips” and anxiety presses in, may we find that God’s steadfast love holds us up, that His “consolations” lift and cheer our souls. Worship offers a steady refuge—a place where we experience the peace of God and remember that He alone is our firm foundation, yesterday, today, and forever.”
