[QUOTE="Alexander_English, post: 1524589, member: 18147"] I feel your pain, as I live in the US also and I'm probably around your age. These particular verses often help keep my head up when I would otherwise be overwhelmed by despair. When the world, especially the US, is turning to garbage, that helps us to not love it. Loving the world is a distraction and pulls us away from God. "Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever." 1 John 2:15-17 At the same time, God created the world good, and I believe He will restore everything plus more. I'm not saying enjoying God's good creation is bad. But at the same time we should not set our hearts on anything except Him, or expect good to come from anywhere but Him. [/QUOTE]
