I mean, outside of church, nobody believes or trusts religion any more. Hardly anybody ever talks about God, and people who don't believe seem to automatically feel entitled to provoke or make fun of me. Like I'm the one who's doing something wrong.
So what am I supposed to do?
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.
- 1 Peter 5:7-10
