I have the same fears. I look at the first century Christians and I don’t know how they did it.

But then I do, it took real faith. Faith in God.

But right now, that may not comfort you. You want to see, maybe this country will turn around. Maybe.

Well, this is a bit of advice I have, from me to you, it’s not bible based, though. But I do say, yes, God will not forget his lambs. Yet we all know, lambs have been persecuted for righteousness sake. That is scary.

Here is my advice:

It’s not here yet. It may not ever be here, either. You are not a psychic, and what you fear may never come to pass, though you may be reading the signs, you may have come up with a wrong prognosis.

One does not know the future, and it is no use worrying about what ‘may be’. Like Spock, do not be emotional. It will only defeat you, and perhaps for nothing.

Example. I, as a nurse, have seen so many people come into the hospital, they are told they should have an xray of their chest, abdomen, etc. There may be a most uncomfortable reason for their health problem, between the lines, could be a tumor.

Omg, it’s the end. Here it comes. I know it. They sit morosely, thinking they already know. Their families come in, terrified, mom is ‘that age’. This is it.

Xray, ct scan, whatever, gets done.

Negative.

Weeks worth of tears, worrying, anxiety, depression, loss of appetite...for nought.

Let the facts present themselves, then DEAL with the problem. You will find courage at the time as you need it.

You’re overwhelmed. There are a lot out there feeling the same. You are not alone.

And let’s all pray for our country. Perhaps the almighty will answer our prayers.
