Hmm. I recommend that you write down everything you can perceive about the future, now, and file it away somewhere. That way, come 2025, you can look at it and see whether you were right or not. I suggest this because a lot of people were sure everything would be different after any number of dates -- 2012 is the one that comes most obviously to mind -- and we all saw how that worked out.
What makes this sort of perception challenging is that sometimes it's a glimpse of the future, but sometimes it's a glimpse of what the people around you are feeling about the future. A lot of people are starting to stress out, as usual, about the upcoming presidential election; both parties, as usual, are portraying it as the most important election of our lifetimes -- that's been claimed about practically every election in my adult life -- and insisting that if the wrong side wins, the country's doomed -- here again, that's standard, but people believe it. So pray, by all means, but include in the prayers a request to be able to stand aside from the collective mind so you can think your own thoughts and feel your own feelings.
