Do you ever feel bad about living in a war-free area, almost like kinda smug-but-guilty?

I'm truly sorry that I get to live in comfort. I truly feel guilty when people are dying from these wars going on.

I think there's a psalm in the bible where it basically says "it's easy for you God! Up there in your comfortable Heaven!"

And I can relate to both sides.

There is no Psalm that says this- the Psalmist laments that at times it feels God is distant (he isn't but we've felt like it during trials).

Going around feeling guilty won't solve anything. Pray for them (to the Triune God of the Bible) and if you can, give.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Grace is beautiful

@Matt85 Yup. In my church we have a guy who got brain damaged by a car accident who called the pastor fat in fellowship.... who regularly goes out to vape, the South African man who I mention in my post goes out for a cigarette after the sermon, etc.

Grace is beautiful.

@BritishFailedAesthetic I still vape all the time. I understand.

I have searched for a psalm saying this. Could you give a chapter and a verse? 🤔
I can understand how you feel, though.🤗

@Journaling4Me I can't remember. I have had a google too and can't find it. I'm thinking I'm not sure it's a psalm now, but it's there! Something like that, I remember it from the time I read the whole book.

I don't think such a verse exists in the Psalms..

And we are responsible for our own doings.. No point feeling guilt for what others do.. They will face judgement for their doings..
