To air on the side that God will always protect, stand with those who do the work can be seen as naive. "He will turn every situation around for the good for those who love them"(Romans 8:28). Who loves Him better than His church? Yes, I'm seen as an optimist or maybe by others as someone with their head in the sand or in the clouds depending on what day it is. Both sides have merit yet, has to be the faith that God gave us and trust
