“When God closes a door he opens a window.” As someone whose family lived in communist Russia for 70 years, I do not believe this saying is true, unfortunately. I am grateful for your optimism though.

I can see it both ways. We really don't know how things will turn out. The tragedy of what happened in Russia and that it went on so very long is always a sobering reminder to me of how important it is what we do now in America. The costs of getting it wrong can go on and on.
"The costs of getting it wrong..." Indeed. Two or three generations of living under tyrannical rule has an effect. It is sobering to hear the stories all Russians have of what their families went through and how much was lost. For many, there were no windows.
Yes, but my father died of alcohol related causes. Alcoholism was mostly caused by hopelessness and absence of any choices for meaningful pasttimes. I could talk about my grandparents too, but too long a story. I am just the younger generation.
When it seems there's nothing that can be done but pray then do that. Pray that God being His true Word to you that you might know who He is not just what men imagine about Him. You are here "for such a time as this"-Esther
