Everything going on in the world substantiates my faith. We are in the last days and things are exactly as God said they would be. The stage is being set, the last act is about to unfold, and soon "Your eyes shall behold the King in his beauty; they will behold a far distant land" (Isaiah 33:17). Jesus said "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28)
But you, for your part "Be on your guard that your hearts may not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap; for it will come upon all those who dwell upon the face of the whole earth. But keep on the alert at all times, PRAYING in order that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of man" (Luke 21:34,35)

If by "everything going on in the world" you're referring to war and violence, when has there ever been peace on earth as far as written history's been recorded? The world is neither all negative nor all positive. It is what it's been since the beginning of time. There is so much love in the world and hopefully, there will be peace on earth through the goodwill toward humanity. We have to work for it. I keep my faith because I know God is loving and merciful.

Faith have I in the things I create. To believe without seeing, I don't know because I have seen, and that which I see of the world all that is of all will return to the all.

What is going on in the world just makes my faith stronger. It points up the truth of God's Word; as we see His hand, His plan and His purpose in things that come to pass almost daily.

Everything in the world that is bad is because of man, I have faith that some day God will come and straighten it all out for us.

It's really hard to .explain to someone who is not a believer. God gives an inner peace that cannot be described. I am never stressed about anything. when I get burdened down about something in my life I ask the Lord t take it from me and I never give it another thought.

Our reward will be life in heaven after God sees we still believe in him despite everything going on in this world. The "next world" in heaven will be so much better.

Very Easy, Because the bible tells us when we begin to see these things come to pass, rejoice, Your redemption draweth nigh. The events in the world don't bother me one bit. God told us that he will always be with us.

take everything lightheartedly. my religion happens to be rather often discrminated against, and very misled about, but i don't mind too much
just educate people when they have misconceptions about what you do and do not believe
and find people who support you. then when mean people say mean things you can giggle together. laughter is amazing!
