Trust - the issue IMHO - is trust.
PROBLEM: We have deteriorated in the public sphere to a place where public servants have lost our trust
SOLUTION:
"Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is." (Jeremiah 17:7).
"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:5).

"They that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." – Isaiah 40:31, KJV
"They that know thy name will put their trust in thee: For thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee." – Psalm 9:10, KJV
"It is better to trust in the LORD Than to put confidence in man." – Psalm 118:8, KJV
"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, In whom there is no help." – Psalm 146:3, KJV
Conclusion:
Trust begins by choosing to look to the Lord rather than leaning on ourselves. We have the beautiful holy word to continually remind us of God's love and promises for us.
God knows what He is doing for all of our lives. He has chosen you for a purpose and nothing makes Him happier than to see His children trusting and living by His word to fulfill those promises.

New Living Translation
Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God's place in your hearts.
