Thank you, Walter, for this reply.  I definitely agree that we are all responsible for our actions considering the fact that we have free will and often miss-use it, as History shows.  I do believe that God is a God of surprises.  Prayer never goes astray.  I believe in the Prayer that Jesus taught us --  the Our Father --  and that he taught us to consider God as 'Abba', meaning Daddy, and not some person that you kept at arms' length.  I believe in the American People's will to survive and, although I despair of it at the moment, the great Constitution will prevail despite efforts to derail it.  There are many storms ahead that the World will have to deal with --  especially regarding Russia.  'Helpless human beings' need to call out to 'Abba' to intervene.  Thank you for your courteous reply.
