I can't get the theme of deliverance out of my head lately.

I found a book at the library of American folk tales and songs, and discovered a Negro spiritual there, "Go Down, Moses." That sent me on a spirituals kick and in my hunting down of songs borne out of slavery, and then we watched The Prince of Egypt, and now I can't get the theme out of my head. Those songs about slavery have been really tugging on my heart and I'm not sure how to what it comes down to yet. Something about difficult times growing our faith, and how American Christians have been super "privileged" (ugh, that word) for such a long time, and the current political climate, and governors cancelling gatherings for Thanksgiving, and the probability of a Democratic president after 4 years of Trump. I've been trying to tie it all together in my mind so that I can share how my faith shapes my handling of trials, but I just haven't gotten there yet.
