Doomscrolling

Doomscrolling or Doomsurfing is the act of spending an excessive amount of screen time devoted to the absorption of negative news. Increased consumption of predominantly negative news may result in harmful psychophysiological responses in some. ~ en.wikipedia.org
Is doomscrolling not our world today
unless we’ve become paranoid
of the enmity everywhere we turn?
But there is an alternative to gloom and doom!
God is on his throne and has turned our world around
plenty of times in the past!
We need not spend an excessive amount
of screen time devoted to
the absorption of negative news.
We can stop and pray asking God to direct us
to news of His action and love in the world!
God is in charge and can guide our lives
and listening and still have time and energy
to turn us toward His light!
