I have heard it said that fear is the opposite of faith. I don’t agree. Faith may give some the strength to challenge fear, to look for comfort, to be a distraction, or a camouflage. I prefer to use faith as a guide to find solutions. Failure needs faith to try again.
I've been feeling the same way as well. Being all plugged in to the continuing piling up of government atrocities has become overwhelming, leading me to begin to intentionally unplug a bit at least, for sanity purposes, and try to refocus on how to love Jesus's Way, knowing that it is in the midst of so much failure personal and governmental. What you're feeling is pervasive
"The arc of the moral universe is long but it bends...." We didn't know it could be this long. It certainly shouldn't be. Apparently a lot longer will it be yet. We must gird for patience and fortitude. Sumuud in Palestinian experience.

May God plant God's Spirit and a heart of love in the leaders of this world and those who perpetuate distraction and chaos.
May the Lord grant the world peace
