Not be so easily distressed, worried, concerned, anxious.
Matthew 24:21 The worse is yet to come.
Hebrews 12:1-4 Not yet resisted unto sin unto the release of blood.
1 Corinthians 16:13 Act like a man. (boldness, courage.)
2 Timothy 2:1-10 Must endure hardship as a soldier/warrior.
2 Timothy 1:7 God didn’t give us the spirit of fear. But of power.
Revelation 12:7-17 Wrath against saints.
2 Maccabees 7 Example of the mother and her 7 sons who didn’t cry or reject the law of God at the time. Many today have already rejected wisdom/Jesus via the injections. They sold their lives for money/jobs.

1 Peter 1:3-7 Trials more precious/valuable than gold!
Jeremiah 12:5 If you have already fainted now, how are you going to endure the war to come?
Good to have been in tough/dangerous neighborhoods and difficult situations. People who have lived in soft environments and many luxuries are spoiled and are therefore too soft themselves. They are not going to do as well when tough times come.
Reality is that most victims of crime are guilty of association with criminals, people that they know.
When we first come to God, we request everyone to pray for us, in every situation. But as we continue to develop our own relationship with God, we should eventually get to a point of time when we don’t need that as much, because we learn to trust Jesus to answer our own prayers.
And we should also get to a point of time when we trust that our brothers/sisters are truly praying for us, and stop requesting the same pray over and over and over again; as if we think that they are not praying for us.
