I am struggling with my understanding of God’s works in our world due to recent headlines. It may just be representation bias, but I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with how many human trafficking and sexual abuse stings have happened over just the last month.
3 pimps and 3 hotel workers indicted for running an underage prostitution ring in the Bronx for three years. One 16 year old girl was forced into 100 « dates » in a single year.
Eight men were arrested in Berks County, PA, just a couple of weeks ago for sex trafficking.
18 people were arrested in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Allegations of Covenant Presbyterian abusing and grooming children resurfacing due to the Nashville shooter.
Now the CDAN blind about the Two by Twos sexually abusing children around the world.
As more of this sex and human trafficking stuff comes to light, I’m feeling terrible guilt for not knowing this was so aggressively prevalent in society today, and not doing more to fix the problem. I’m only a 20 s/o female, so I might not be able to do as much as others, but I feel like I haven’t done enough.
And, in the face of Epstein and Maxwell still not facing true justice for their heinous crimes, on top of all of this news, I’m really struggling to understand how God has let these crimes, especially these crimes against children, go for so long.
How are you all keeping hope and faith as more atrocities come to light?
Turn it off and get in the woods for a bit....it is morel season go hunt some mushrooms
Go to church on Easter. Think about how glorious it is to know that Christ is risen!
It is at precisely at Easter time that “God’s work in the world” is fulfilled. The son of God took on your sin and died for you! It is the single most important event in ALL of human history and the only thing that matters. Set your mind on things above not on the things of this world. He has risen indeed!
Be the change you want to see. Simple things. Kindness, for example, costs nothing.
We are all doing our part, OP. Just by being here and participating you are doing 1000% more than normies.
The tide is turning. The great ship of American public opinion is slowly turning. And we are all part of that. Even if the only thing you do is come here and upvote things. Subscribe to Bannon's Warroom and Dan Bongino podcasts. It matters. Maybe buy something from their sponsors if you think it will be useful for you.
Hats off to the people that go out there and assist law enforcement catch pedophile criminals. But you don't have to do that to be useful in saving our country. Live your life, be happy, spread memes.
I agree with Rob and suggest spending time in nature, preferably with animals not human. Also Julie Green always has a prayer at the end of her show that is very comforting to those struggling and in need. https://rumble.com/c/JulieGreenMinistries
My dog and my horses are my therapists.. very expensive ones lol but very effective! Breath in nature and get barefoot on the grass and ground yourself, so good for you.
God created us for loving fellowship. In order to love, we must have free will, the ability to choose. We all make choices, some people choose to do evil, including harming others. If God constantly intervened that would negate free will.
You need look no further than Christ's crucifixion to see an example of a horrific event that God was using to accomplish a wonderful purpose, our salvation. He works all things together for good for those who love Him, even if we cannot make sense of it in our limited understanding.
Everyone who commits evil will receive perfect justice from God for their actions in the final judgment. It can be distressing that justice is not always served here on earth but that is part of living in a broken world. Prayer and reading the Bible can be helpful. God bless.
Prayer..turn your mind into constant prayer. Pray without ceasing
Weed. Just kidding. It helps but doesn’t compare to prayer. The ultimate hopium.
God's gift.
Start a garden, build something, get and raise some livestock, exercise. Do the the things our ancestors used to do that kept them grounded. The more you disconnect the more you reconnect.
I have his book too. The Clergy version Fascinating
Pray, and remember that when you ask God to take care of things you have no control over, you've done ALL you can about it. Do what you can, and give your worries over to The LORD. Scripture describes the "Peace of God which surpasses human understanding". We are not meant to be provincial; that is, ignorant to the greater distant events beyond our local area. But we shouldn't be obsessed with them. Do what you can, pray about what you can't control, and allow yourself to grow in faith and trust. I say this as if I'm an expert, but I struggle myself. And remember, we will always have anxieties and worries, but that doesn't make them right, true or accurate. Hope this helps sister. I'm right there with you.
Get up in the Word. And don't worry about tomorrow, it will bring troubles enough of it's own.
“Maintain an even strain.”

As an atheist that is the best I can do. (no, I don’t want to hear it)
I’m out of work right now so I exercise and look for work. Looks like there is a lot out there as I have two decades of experience. I just need to find a good place.
Focus on what I can control. Make myself into the strongest version of myself possible (physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally, etc).
White hats are in control, focus on what you can control, stay motivated on being the voice of reason in clown world.
God is in control. His Will, be done.
Have children. Love them. Protect them. Smoke a j here and there once they are asleep. Get your hands in the earth. Feel the sun on your neck! Praise your deity w devotion.
Life's already short enough without trying to fret yourself to death over the current state of things.
Get you a big old glass of Crown & Coke and kick your feet up and watch the show with no attachment to the outcome for a while.
I find myself praying more than ever, asking for world peace and asking for humanity's ascension to a dimension where we can get away from the Satanic (reptilian) overlords who run this dimension. I pray for ascension and also pray for this Great Awakening to continue to propagate worldwide. As a side note I was raised Catholic and in recent years have had a hard time coming to grips with the satanism in the Catholic church. Despite this unsettling revelation about my childhood religion I continue to pray daily. I think there are still good priests as well, such as Fr. Ripperger whose links are in another frens comment below and also Archbishop Vigano.
Faith gets me through. Faith in God first and foremost, faith in Trump, the Patriots behind him and the plan, faith in my fellow Americans and faith that the bulk of humanity are good people.
It all just reaffirms to me that Jesus IS going to return. I couldn't understand at one point how the whole world could all end up as predicted before Christ's return. It didn't seem plausible that it could come to fruition. Hell USA has a constitution that would prevent it from ever coming to pass.
Now I see the path and that just gives me SO MUCH HOPE.
Hold your head high. You are doing alot just being here. Dropping little Red Pills will help you inside. Psalm 37 and 73 help during these times. Be the light, for there is victory in light. . . Go to nature, look at the spring growth, listen to birds, listen to a creek, think of how long these cycles have passed and who may have been standing where you are 100, 1,000 or 10,000+ years ago.
I've honestly thought about that type of question of late "why does god allow.....". And the reason it comes to mind is many of us and friends think the same. I'm going to change it. It's not God it's Satan allowing it.
As for feeling better. Less tech / online. Literally unplug the wifi if you have one at home. That frequency messes with us. When I'm online I watch patara on YouTube for prepping reminders. / Keep busy with what I CAN DO.
I have a small lot so focus on my chickens, pigs and so much physical work to do to clean prior people's mess. Being autumn here big focus on wood collecting. Dam cold already.
Tomorrow is a new day. Soms time God doesn't let us see things till hevremoves the scales from our eyes. We all have talents and every front is important. You are very lucky because you have the opportunity to educate your peers. Us old people don't have a chance. You have work to do. Your motivation just needs to bear fruit. Bless you.
I know, fren. I am troubled about it the same way. We have to hold fast to this knowledge: Whatever the measure of absolute evil, it's opposite exists in equal measure. It is universe law, that everything has it's precise opposite in existence. So much evil has been hidden for so long that is now being revealed. It is a horror. Rising up also are the forces that will fight and destroy it. We have been lied to and blinded. It still is in God's hands, and he needs us aware and on board. We needed the frequency to raise, on Earth. It is happening. I do believe that God, we, win this.
