Everything is so twisted. At this point I don't believe anybody or anything, except the promises of God and Christ. I believe it was important to show up on Jan 6, but I agree we were like sheep led to slaughter. I admit I didn't pray that day, & avoided entanglement only through serendipity. In the past year I've come to pray dozens of times each day and it is a lifeline. I'm learning. I never knew how to pray, really, but now I know that we're only asking God to fulfill the promises he's made to us, and that we're justified in asking, not because of our good works, but because we're his children, and in the spiritual body of Christ. We just have to claim that birthright. So much to come, but the war is still raging and Satan is also active, always, daily, seeking to mislead and destroy whomsoever he can.This is the time when the wheat and tares are being gathered and separated. Stay strong in your faith. God has plans for good & not disaster, to give YOU a future. (Jeremiah 29:11)

Thank you. Yes, during this process my faith has grown tremendously, and it has made me stronger. I know that whatever I face, with God, I can get through anything.
