Have good faith dear lady, as Paul said,
Phil 1:
27 Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
28 And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake;
We have not IMO even begun to suffer yet. I heard of a young(18 or so) man who was a Christian in Northern India, was just accused of desecrating a holy shrine of some sort, and the people beat him beyond recognition, stabbed him numerous times, sliced his ear off, stuck him with an ice pick, and then left him for dead walking away laughing......this was just three weeks ago.
LORD COME QUICKLY! AMEN!
