Deborah,
Congrats on finding a new church home. It's all too easy to give into cynicism and anger in this world (I don't know your story but mine includes three tours of Iraq as a soldier). I do know that such things are exhausting.
My solace, strength, peace and happiness continue as they always have - through the Lord. Being anchored in the fact that His love for me
was always there, in the desert, got me through those tours. Greater is
His love than anything that we face here.
Psalm 20:7 was my Guide-On and Standard during those tours, as equipment and men can fail, but the Lord my God never will:
"Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of the LORD our God."
Happy Easter week and my prayers will be with you
