To answer the OP yes, and much more so as I get older, but my Christian faith sustains me. I agree with the poster above who said we should not be conformed to this world, as I get older material things mean less to me. I'm in my early 60's I've lost my parents, and I don't want to lose my husband(who is a decade older than I)but God is sovereign. My late mother in law once told me"Only what's done for Christ will last) (She was a devout evangelical)This world is passing away just look at what's going on around us.
This life is fragile, we live in a fallen world, and I'm looking forward to Heaven God willing. I pray I persist in the faith, and don't fall away(and yes it can happen)
and God willing I want to visit an Orthodox Church soon.(I don't drive much).
Also, sometimes suffering can have value, I believe God allows it as it can prepare us for eternity, or bring us back to Christ, if we've strayed. If we never suffered no one would care about God.
