I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, and the only person that knows that reason is the man we have prayed to about the recent events in our country.
Today, when I woke up and saw my feed full of fright and negativity, I prayed. I prayed for the safety of my family, my friends, my sisters, my Odyssey team, the kid that sits next to me in class that I've never talked to. I prayed that all of these horrible things people believe will happen won't happen. I prayed for the men and women fighting for us and that they would remain safe wherever they are. I prayed that my vote for this leader was worth it, that he wouldn't turn against us, and that our country can prove something in the next four years. Above all, I prayed that we remained a free country that has been fighting for so long to get to where we are today.

Please do not fear the country, but fear God. Remember that He does have a plan for you and that there will be some light in your darkness. This may turn around for you, but don't begin fearing before it officially begins.
For you believers that need some food for thought, this is my piece:
This isn't me forcing everyone that is terrified to just pray and relax, I know it's not like that. But for the believers that feel the need for some sanity, read these, write, pray, love each other. We all need each other, no matter what your beliefs are.
