Prayer for leaders and the world's future

[VCR-2000]

The shape of the world right now is making me feel more emotionally sick than ever before. I pray for our leaders in all countries of the world to have a change of heart so we may see relatively good times again. I am feeling anxious about the idea of impending Armageddon. I know Christians are supposed to look forward to Jesus returning, but I am a younger person and I feel like I didn't live achieve or enjoy everything in this life that I wanted to. Unless God can make it like an almost carbon copy of this planet for me after I'm gone if Armageddon does happen.

The New Heavens and New Earth will be beautiful. God didn't put you in creation to "miss out". He knows you and what is ahead for you in this life. Trust in him

God doesn't want you to worry and be tormented with doubt and fear. What holds you back from having faith in Jesus Christ?

When I was growing up, I thought nuclear destruction was coming at any moment. And, it was always a possibility as it is now. Either days are going to pass or they won't; there is nothing we can do to add a moment to time. God is always present now. Even when the consummation comes, God will be present now. Turn your heart to God's ubiquitous and loving presence that is with you right now, notice the beauty and goodness of life right now, and I will pray, too.

I feel like this is the worst generation to live in and there will be no reprieve, just things continuing to get worse.

Don't want to spam more topic creations, which unfortunately I am guilty of in the past on this site.

I watched a video yesterday that gave me a kind of epiphany. I pray and want others to pray and know that I realize that pornography usage and production (in the narrower strict sense of the term) is not only an attack on individuals, it is an attack and destroyer of society as a whole. I have only watched porn once in a blue moon if I ever do, but I want to abstain from it permanently, and even then it is still hurting society as a whole. I am convinced that it is a demoralizing force and while the media would like to attack people who say otherwise, I think the conclusions that it causes problems is at least reasonable if not perfect. This is also the difference between the moral and cultural decline today and similar things in the past is that the men who are supposed to be strong and save society (not only men, but women have a role too of course) have unprecedented access to these weakening and demoralizing attacks, while this happened in the past human society was expected to bounce back from it.

Last night while falling asleep I said a prayer to God that while I was not that good of a person before that I wanted to stop looking at any porn at all because this video did more to open my eyes to the bigger picture of it.
