Well I also believe that we won't see the worst, but we do have to see some bad so we can TRY to warn others what is coming. I'm getting to tired for this.
I've been a Christian for over half a century.I know exactly how you feel.
Any battle is going to be rough. Else it isn't a "battle", i.e., struggle. But for us Christians, it's when we stand still and let God step in that we see the victories. "Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today:...." (Exo. 14:13 K.J.B.) "But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint." (Isa. 40:31 K.J.B.) "Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Gal. 1:3-5 K.J.B.)
Is it really that easy? Well yes and no.
No, because the enemy is always trying to confront and resist us.
Yes, because when we realize (and practice) the fact that our God fights our battles for us then we have rest and peace. "For the LORD your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you." (Deu. 20:4 K.J.B.) "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph. 6:12 K.J.B.)
Jesus said,"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." (John 16:33 K.J.B.)
I hope you find that encouraging.
