Lucado hits it right on the head:

The United States is now the most anxious nation in the world. Congratulations to the us! The land of the stars and stripes has become the country of stress and strife.

He touches on something I mentioned https://lastdaysdisciple.blogspot.com/2011/02/matthew-246-8.html in 02/2011... "All these things(wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, etc.)  have happened at one point or another in time, singularly or in conjunction. But what has NEVER happened is the ability the world has to HEAR about these events the very moment they take place. In the 1800's, if something happened in New Zealand, chances are people in the rest of the world wouldn't know about it for months if not years. In the 1900's, if the same happened, people in the rest of the world would be aware within a day or two. But in the 2000's, if something happens in new zealand, the rest of the world is made aware within MINUTES."

And we have to navigate our lives awash in a constant sea of adrenaline. Every few seconds changes and new threats are imported into our lives thanks to smart phones, TVs and computer screens. In our grandparents’ generation news of an earthquake in Nepal would reach around the world some days or weeks later. In our parent’s day the nightly news communicated the disaster. Now it is a matter of minutes or even seconds. We’ve barely processed one crisis before we hear of another.
