Are you ever scared or terrified of the future?

I think there has always been reason to be terrified. In earlier times people only knew much of the immediate region's goings on. Now we can easily see the whole world's sufferings at our fingertips. I am not sure the world is incredibly worse than it was in the past.

THe technology is new, the human condition has not changed anytime in recorded human history - that is CLEAR when reading the old and new testaments.

The pain and suffering of so many increasing each day.

In some aspects, pain and suffering are decreasing greatly. I'm 58, I've seen amazing medical advances in my lifetime.

I don’t look forward to tomorrow, what is next? We know about what they do behind closed doors. I’m only 36 and I have seen and heard enough, I feel like I can’t bare to see anymore or to want to know what I know. I’d rather be in a vegetative state in a coma for the rest of my life, then watch the world become infested and overruns rampant with the sickest and deepest sins we’ve seen. Then there is age and the ones you love. I know I shouldn’t be afraid, but I can’t help myself at the moment. I’m just wondering if anyone else has ever felt scared realizing that anyting can happen in a blink of an eye that forever changes your life and leaves you shattered and broken. Everything just feels so exasperating and overwhelming every single day. It’s just way too much. I’m very glad and thankful that God has a lot of patience, but honestly, enough is enough. Like how much longer is going to let this go on? It scares me.

It is not up to you or me how long He lets ANYTHING go on.

As to sin and how sick or deep it is - while it is true that we are currently in a decline in our culture and society in the USA, evil has reared it's ugly head on a rather consistent basis thruout human history, as I've said. Go read up on the acts committed by various entities during WWII - if you can stomach it. Some of what the Nazis did was on the very level of what ancient peoples did.

I remain convinced that people have not, nor will they ever, change.

I do not know why God allows such evil. But then, I'm not God. Good thing, cause I'm not good at being God - and the position has been filled anyway. :)

And that's a very good thing for us too. There is only one God. :) As to why He allows so much evil in the world I really don't know. My only guess is that He doesn't, we do. He gave us all free will when He created us and He knew that we wouldn't always make the wisest choices. However, He also did give us the power of prayer so that when things do trouble us we can always seek comfort and spiritual guidance and all of His wisdom. :cross

With our walk with JESUS there is nothing to fear
 
I will take all of your kind response into consideration. Thanks for the wonderful advice and reminders. It’s seems like we can never have enough reminders. God bless you all. :hug

I know that we are to keep our eyes on Jesus and not the storm. I try my best, but God knows how much I fail. The narrow road gets narrow everyday, like driving up a very steep mountain on a narrow road with no physical guard rails to keep the car from falling off the edge, but wait, there is a guard rail, just one we can’t see and we all who that is. On Thursday as my hubby was driving me to school, I had been pretty distraught and super sensitive waiting to breakdown in tears and this song came on. Now for me, my most intimate times with the Lord is thru music. I find my connection is so strong when I’m praising and worshipping through my pain, my dad’s pain, my sister’s, my brother’s pain or anyone else’s pain and suffering on the cross and I lay all those down at the cross with my tears because God says he captures our tears and keeps them in bottles, I very much believe that. I don’t pray with my words, I pray with my tears. Anyways, I’ve spent most of my life in Isolation, alone with no one to talk but my hubby and he works two jobs, he works a lot. I can’t just call him up when I need a human being to talk to and I’ll be honest, call me old fashioned, but I’d rather talk than to people than type. But most don’t like to that because they are used to texting typing. So here is a song that came on right at the perfect moment that I desperately needed to hear cause I was really close to the end of my rope. Oh right, sorry for rambling. This is the song I believe God had planned for me to hear that at that very moment. It’s okay if you believe otherwise. I know fully well there are people out their who are going thru far worse than I could ever imagaine. It’s just hard to deal with and manage the emotions I get because I’mso overly sensitive to so many things.
Okay well here is the song that I needed to hear and major assurance from our precious Lord and saviour. He is always there for us even when we don’t think he is, he surely is.

I was fighting back the tears, I couldn’t go to class blubbering lol.

Peter did take his eyes off Christ because of the storm. But Christ did not let him sink and drown. What we can count on isn't becoming so perfect we never take our eyes off Him, but HIM being perfect and keeping HIS eyes on us.
