The darkest hour before dawn

You know...as I look over the posts, also observe people talking, and even people I know, even myself, I see something. In the past, it seemed although we all still had "problems" living in the fallen world, there were at least things to temper it, so the "bad" was held back somewhat. But now, even amongst those of us on the site, I notice we have problems worse than before, and very trying to deal with it, and even sometimes with prayer the problems persist. Someone might have a financial problem, and worse than ever, a health problem; with me, time problems that I had in the past, but there used to be certain times when I could count on a "break". Now, things have changed, and not in a way that benefits me. But now the "punchline" -- I don't think this pressure on all of us is by coincidence. Being most likely in the last days, remember, "Woe to the Earth and to the sea, for the devil has come down to you having great anger, knowing he has a short amount of time." The darkest hour is before dawn, and I think our "friend" is working overtime to get his shots in. Also, in the past God was still upholding the world, so there was at least some order. Now, as if in death throes, everything is coming unglued, so things aren't within a "normal" range anymore. I'm not saying it's easy to deal with, but I think this is what's happening. Do you think?

Your post reminds me this song.
When upon life’s billows you are tempest-tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

GOD, BLESS US PLEASE WITH YOUR FAVOR. LIFT OUR HEARTS, SPIRITS AND SOULS AND PRAISE YOUR HOLY NAME. THANK YOU FATHER GOD. IN JESUS NAME I PRAY, AMEN

I think Satan and his evil angels is working overtime trying to recruit and derail Christ worshippers. Time is running out for him. We the worries of Jesus should be resilient and stand in good faith. "Onward Christian soldiers..."

I feel this happening too.

Yes! We belong to the blood of Jesus; we drink the blood of Jesus; and His body was broken for us; through undeserving Grace we are saved, that is if we follow and walk with Him. ###
