Demanding respect is like chasing a butterfly. Chase it, and you'll never catch it. Sit still, and it may light on your shoulder.

My concern is that somebody would make a decision against Christianity because of Mr. Trump's behavior.

No distance is too far.

Be kind to yourself. God thinks you're worth his kindness. And he's a good judge of character.

God sees us with the eyes of a Father. He sees our defects, errors and blemishes. But He also sees our value.

I certainly don't mean to leave the impression that anxiety can be waved away with a simple pep talk. In fact, for some, God's healing will include the help of therapy and/or medication. If that's the case, do not for a moment think that you're a second-class citizen of heaven. Ask God to lead you to a qualified counselor or physician who'll provide the treatment you need. This much is sure: It's not God's will that you lead a life of perpetual anxiety. It's not his will that you face every day with dread and trepidation.
