turn to the bible, it is CLEAR about events

DONT BE AFRAID

Jesus said there will be wars and rumors of wars, fires, pestilences, earth quakes in places, even betrayals within families, society and even governments; but he said, children you can overcome them, even as I have.

We are living in trying times, people are misunderstood because of their differences, complexions, gender, and upbringings. Still in the mist of these times, there is Peace.  Jesus said, "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, but as I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 14:27.

how can I make a difference

Divine intervention begins with Prayer.  Prayer is very powerful and it's the weapon God has ordained to mankind to communicate with Him in all matters. Since God truly loves us, He will not limit any abilities to help protect and secure us.  However, we must ask Him to intervene and turn matters around.

Here the words of Apostle Paul to Timothy and all who would listen, "I urge you, first of all, prayer, petition and intercessions, with thanksgiving, be made for ALL mankind; especially for kings, presidents, premiers, prime ministers, and for all that are in authority!" That we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all goodness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who would have all mankind to be saved and come to the knowledge of truth." Timothy 2: 1-4.

Your prayers will make a difference. "The effectual fervent prayer of right persons prevails much." James 5:16. 

keep the faith, DONT give up, god will answer

Daniel prayed 21 straight days to get an answer from God and to understand the situation during his time and make a change in the outcome that would affect his entire generation. God heard him and brought the changes necessary.  God will also hear you to bring about change in your generations that will be necessary to bring the desire outcomes.  "Fear not Daniel, from the first day that you prayed and set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before God, your prayer was heard, and I am come because of your prayers. Daniel 10:12, "
