Hello
John 1:12-14 one thing that we should keep in mind is that one of the enemies traps to turn us aside is to get us to look at others. There is nothing wrong with being grieved overe the lack of godliness that seems to be invading the church world today but rather than allowing it to make us bitter allow it to drive you to your knees to pray for others. Rather than look around at what others are doing or not doing first get a set devotional time of prayer and bible reading established in your own life so as to have a sure footing for yourself and to enable you to help others. I am sorry for the things that have haapened in your past those are things that no one should have to live with and it is a burden that is really to heavey for you to bear alone but rather rebell against Christ look to Him as your source of strength:
Isaiah 53:
3 He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief:
and we hid as it were our faces from him;
he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs,
and carried our sorrows:
yet we did esteem him stricken,
smitten of God, and afflicted
Psalms 103:
13 Like as a father pitieth his children,
so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14 For he knoweth our frame;
he remembereth that we are dust.
Psams 18:
16 He sent from above, he took me,
he drew me out of many waters.
17 He delivered me from my strong enemy,
and from them which hated me:
for they were too strong for me.
18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity:
but the Lord was my stay.
1 Peter 5:
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Those are passages that have helped me in hard times and i hope maybe they can be a help to you as well. Like others have already said you need to find an older in the faith man to help you and walk along side you. A good place to start would be the pastor of the church you attend.
