-- I am very distressed, it seems like the world has completely collapsed over the past 18 months, and there is not much one can do about it. --

a couple thoughts there, and they might appear contradictory.

Your own mental health and spiritual well-being is important. Being distressed is not good. Low distress based on earthly things is an illusion - maybe comfortable, and no arguing that low distress is low distress. But we all die in the end. True peace is elsewhere. Find a church. It matters what kind.

The other point, well, we little people don't control the world. Bible says we are not in a battle with flesh and blood. But I am not so sure that having a right mind and being bold with it is "not much." Bannon says "courage is contagious," and it is.

I hope and pray the things in your personal life turn out for the better, and don't overwhelm your or anybody in your orbit.
