This is so simple and not. We are here as fellow believers to encourage you in your challenge. YeHoVaH does have you and us in his hands; it is His plan. Paul had this covered in his letter to the believers in Philippi:
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
Praying is listening to YeHoVaH. Sharing your questions. Waiting, trusting YeHoVaH in His plan. Paul goes on with some tools for us.
Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
Yes, challenges are still in front of you. YeHoVaH’s ways are not just giggles and comfy feelings. He loves us and wants us to grow and learn. Growing and learning can hurt. The hurt is not fun, the understanding and change is worth it. These tools from Paul give us focus on the tools to our challenges.
By day YeHoVaH directs His love, at night his song is with me—a prayer to the God of my life.

From Yehudah Glick:
Dear friends, last week I celebrated my 60th birthday and received many blessings (over 800) in public and in private and it is definitely heart warming.
However, to all those who demand my safety - unfortunately, for the personal majority I am having difficult days at all.
Anyone that knows me knows that in my entire life I've never dealt with myself and my quality of life. From the day I remember my life enslaved for public work only.
I dealt with education, in accepting Aliyah, in turning the Temple Mount into a center of world peace, in healing the fragments within us, in the relations between the state of Israel and the Jewish people to the nations. And in recent years, my whole life has been devoted to the issue of widows and orphans families.
All my work is fully voluntary and of course everything is absolutely by law.
With great pain for the last 18 years I have been chased by the police israel forcefully and brutally. Including false plots and demonization, indictments. For most of the years I have tried with all my ability to blush and bite lips.
In the past two months, the pursuit has gone up a notch including two indictments and muscular distancing. Nothing stands in the way of the police officers in the district of Jerusalem, including false testimony to Bagatz. All of this while falsely waving for security purposes.
I could blabber and bite my lips if it wasn't about practices that caused losses of tens of thousands of dollars that are all intended for activities for widows and orphans.
I'm hurt, hurt and bruised only because of the harm done for the sake of the families and all because of the injustice and the lies while defaming the name of security israel
Oh God, my hands that will lift me up
The committee of petals in the request of my soul
And there is no name against them
And you are my Lord, full of mercy and grace
Long life, full of grace and truth
Turn to me and turn to me
Encourage your servant and help your truth
Do this for the good
And they will see hatred and dry
For the Lord is my help and my comfort
I blame the Jerusalem District Commander Amir Arzani, Commander of the David Space - Dvir Tamim Commander of the Himak - Eyal Avraham Commander of the Temple Mount - Guy Tal. Bad people !
(Sadly, they receive the full backing of the Minister Itamar Ben Gvir because it matches his ideology that the Temple Mount works only for Jews and not for tourists who are not Jews)
