^^THIS^^ I’m going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and assume he/she is young and maybe hasn’t suffered much adversity so far. Maybe is only beginning to wake up. I’ve been around this life (if not this awakening) awhile and there’s been lots of times when the SHTF and all I could do was sit on the floor and cry. My kids got molested, my marriage fell apart, I owed money out the kazoo, my car got repossessed, and I had to file bankruptcy. I got cancer. I lost friends because I won’t get jabbed. But lots of people have suffered way worse. Do I want the world to flippin’ fall apart before this all ends? Of course not. But you know what? All I really need to know about how it all works out is what God says about it - because the “plan” that’s going to come to pass is God’s plan. And here’s what He says about that: ”For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11
I don’t want any more terrible things to happen, but we still see just a tiny speck of the bigger picture. All we really have right now is a lot of supposition about what’s gone on so far, because it’s SO much bigger than just DJT and a stolen election. But God sees it all, and I have learned to trust that He is merciful and loving. That trust comes through knowing He has walked with me through every adversity I’ve faced so far. Life isn’t about magic solutions to big problems - our life is a journey that, from God’s perspective, hopefully ends in our reconciliation with Him. He wants relationship with us - because this life is only the beginning of so much more when we trust Him. Don’t look at the things you see and judge them as failures. Trust that there are things you can’t see yet, and those things are victories - because God has a plan. “For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I also have been fully known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12
