I understand exactly what you’re talking about and the problems that you and your family are going through. And you’re right, these kinds of problems are not always the problem of the people themselves. There are outside circumstances that are beyond the control of the people involved, no matter what they may do or can do or have within their abilities to affect, one way or another.
It’s a troubling time for many and there are also many people who don’t seem to realize that (as long as they, themselves are still doing okay, they think everyone else should be too...).
I think what is going on, overall in this country (and around the world) is a judgement of God, and that it will also affect a lot of Christians in the process. This is what does happen with “corporate judgments” of God, upon a nation. It does spill over and affect others, very widely, even those who didn’t have anything to do with the causes of the judgement.
I’ve had to adjust, too, but it’s been a bit easier for me, since I don’t have a big family to take care of now, at my age. They’re grown up now and having to deal with this stuff on their own, having been doing that for quite a while now.
And yes, it’s troubling to see your young ones have to suffer through these troubling times...
There may be major adjustments to be made, but never give up on God showing the way, whatever way that is, that He wants to direct you to. He always has done that for me, in all circumstances, and He promises He will do that for any of those who are His.

I agree with you, 100%. This may not make sense, but I look at it like I’ve got a front row seat to watch God’s plan unfold. It’s kind of exciting in a way, especially since I don’t see how this is going to work out.
I am expecting a miracle, even though I have no clue what it is going to be. (All I want is to do God’s will — I am not buying lottery tickets.)
