For me it comes and goes... an overwhelming sense of hopelessness seems to creep up on me, and I have to fight through it.
Yes, Jesus is my source of hope. But I am human. I have a need to stay informed, and yet it wrecks me often, due to the evil I discover.
Even knowing that Jesus has won, that we have won, that we are winnning... these are such "far away" concepts in the face of the ugliness that we see unveiled every day.
So much energy goes into keeping a grasp on all that is happening, so as to be able to red-pill others and to protect my family. That's how I am wired. Can't help it.
So I find my balance this way: I try to limit my time here (rather than just an all day constant presence), and I pray for wisdom and strength. I also choose to live as an example of goodness (and I am not perfect!). These things keep me sane.
I wrote this because I assume many struggle with this balance... and I just wanted to encourage everyone to hang in there, and take a moment to acknowledge the challenge and to strategize about how best to maintain the balance for yourself.
If we are not mentally, emotionally, and spiritually strong when the shit really blows up, then we will not be the shepherds I believe God is calling us to be.
Nature is a great way to calm the mind, and ground yourself.
This is excellent advice.

I take at least an hour to myself to meditate everyday. I’ve learned to accept that I’ve been given knowledge and that it comes with consequences. It’s a real bummer that a lot of people can’t see what you can, but I’m excited because more and more people can!
I used to be depressed and in a really low point in life after learning the truth. I went into the rabbit hole head first and I’m still in there, but I’ve learned to enjoy it. Literally enjoying the movie. I’ve learned to “play” the system, learned to trust myself and God. learned that the people I used to put on a pedestal are no better than me, and I’m no better than anybody else.
It’s given me a sense of comfort and happiness to think that I’ve been “chosen” to redpill others, and that ultimately brick by brick, the wall will come down. I’ve learned that memes have a lot of power, and that as time goes, us little Frens have much power as a whole. End of the day, we were ALWAYS the silent majority, and little by little, our voices are becoming stronger and stronger. Look how easily we diffuse fake news and propaganda campaigns.
/u/changeagent, hold the line, you are here for a reason, and your time will come. You are as important as any one of us here, and much much more important than any globalist institution.
Thank you. I really appreciate and am inspired by what you wrote
