Firstly, I want to remind you that the most important thing here is to anchor yourself to Christ, to the immovable rock of ages, so that your anxieties will be subdued under the power of almighty God. Note in these verses how the disciples failed to comprehend that their lives were always safe because God has a plan for each of them and the Lord did not choose them willy-nilly but quite specifically and deliberately.
Mat 8:23-27 And when he got into the boat, his disciples followed him. (24) And behold, there arose a great storm on the sea, so that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but he was asleep. (25) And they went and woke him, saying, "Save us, Lord; we are perishing." (26) And he said to them, "Why are you afraid, O you of little faith?" Then he rose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm. (27) And the men marveled, saying, "What sort of man is this, that even winds and sea obey him?"
Note how, in the following verses, it was only when Peter took his eyes (thus focus and thoughts) off the Lord and set them upon the turmoil of his surroundings that he then began to sink. We must stay ourselves on the Lord, continually keeping Him at the forefront of our thoughts in all circumstances, now more so than ever before.
Mat 14:25-33 And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea. (26) But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, and said, "It is a ghost!" and they cried out in fear. (27) But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Take heart; it is I. Do not be afraid." (28) And Peter answered him, "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water." (29) He said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. (30) But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, "Lord, save me." (31) Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" (32) And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. (33) And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, "Truly you are the Son of God."
By "he saw the wind", it is understood that he saw the waves caused by the wind, and this made Peter afraid. So, the following information and possible (let me repeat that, "possible", not definite) scenario is not intended to frighten but to cause you to think, consider the times we are in, recognise the spiritual "climate", and not do as the Pharisees and scribes of two thousand years ago did, failing to recognise the time of their visitation.
Please watch this video. It is about an hour long, granted that is considerable, but it elucidates on the situation in which we find ourselves:

Dr. Matthew Whiteside is a PhD holder in an area known as chemical ecology and is the originator of the "quantum dot" technology we have been hearing about for more than a year now. This technology will be the ideal instrument by which the globalist super-state will be able to "mark" everybody, as per the revelation about the mark of the beast, chapter 13 of the Book of the Revelation.
Although we do not know if this or some other means will be used as the mark, we can be reasonably certain that the FIDO Alliance's technology, in particular the use of biometrics, can be combined with the mark of the beast (by which, whatever form it takes, it is a mark identifying a human being as the property of some kind of worldly empire or state, the beast), so that no person may be able to engage in any kind of trade if he or she does not have the mark.
Though I had considered the quantum dot technology as a possible candidate for the mark of the beast, it was not clear to me a year ago how it could be used to specifically signify the beast (that is, the name of the beast or the number of his name, 666). However, on further consideration more recently it became apparent that it need not be some kind of RFID or complex mark but can be very simple, quite literally simply the number "666" marked under the skin using a series of quantum dots, or the literal name of the beast or the number (666) as the three pairs of bars used as delimiters on modern UPC barcodes (the three isolated pairs of bars at the start, middle and end of a universal product code, those bars that are extra long, on their own actually are each a 6) with the unique personal identity number, linked to your account in the IMF, implemented in the barcode itself, and using biometric security to enable access. Even if you have an account and they have your biometrics, without the mark then you are unable to trade. The use of a barcode was obvious dating back to when barcodes first appeared on products but how it could be used without disfiguring a person's face (if used on the forehead) was not so obvious until the last few years. Quantum dot technology makes barcoding human beings a perfectly viable means of implementing the "mark of the beast", reducing human beings to nothing more than the equivalent of sheep or cattle.
This seems to me a plausible scenario, primarily because it does not require the more expensive option of a subcutaneously implanted electronic device and also because, before the beast requires that you receive a mark, the introduction of IMF accounts in an international cashless system of commerce can take place with barely a whimper of complaint by billions of people already indoctrinated with the idea of cashless transactions and the need for increased security in local, national and international trade. We are already so familiar with cashless transactions and remote purchasing, which was especially accelerated by the "plandemic" lockdowns, which seemed completely unnecessary at first but the reasons for them become more apparent in that they have greatly accelerated the process of removing cash from transactions and conditioned many people to this method of trade who would, otherwise, not have done so. Note that although I use the made-up term, "plandemic", seemingly implying some kind of conspiracy, it need not be viewed that way. Whether the "pandemic" (which does not actually meet the death rate criteria of a true pandemic) was planned or accidental is, well, incidental, since in either case the globalist powers are taking advantage of it.
It also becomes clear why, even though there are perfectly good non-vaccine treatments available for the COVID-19 disease, so many governments are conspicuously opposed to them. They want people to become conditioned to the idea of having identifying marks embedded in their skin, since the quantum dot technology is being used in many so-called "vaccines" for the current "crisis".
So, the order of events may simply be this:
1. The plandemic "forces" lockdowns and increased need for Internet security and cashless transactions, thereby conditioning people to this newer way of trade and into accepting a loss of freedom and privacy for greater "security".
2. Forced "vaccinations" used to condition people into accepting a level of totalitarian control (big government forced intervention) they would otherwise not tolerate, once again for perceived greater "security", in this case "health security" or "safety".
3. The forced "vaccinations" introduce people to the idea of quantum dot technology being used as an identifier marking "who is safe" and isolating "who is not safe", once again using the fear of death (overhyped danger of "the virus") to control people and condition them into allowing embedded identifiers in their own flesh.
4. Ongoing media hype about dreaded virus mutations (which, at this point, really appear to be deaths caused by the vaccines and not by a new mutant form of the virus) in order to keep people in a perpetual state of fear and to cause the mob-mentality of fearful people to attack anybody who does not conform and accept the "vaccine" in this so-called "new normal". This alleviates the need for a very large police force to police the people and force them to accept such onerous government "intervention" in their lives.
5. Simultaneous media hype about climate catastrophes (always somewhere you cannot go and see for yourself) in order to keep the climate alarmism alive and use it to manufacture new laws revolving around environmentalism, by which people will be stripped of property rights and freedoms as well as a massive reduction in access to essentials leading to a greatly increased mortality rate (the beast has long, sharp, green claws).
6. The building of the new temple in Jerusalem and, under the direction of the false pope (whom St Francis prophesied would come), placing the false ark, known as "The Ark of Hope", containing the ten false commandments (based on militant environmentalism) in the temple as a symbol of the new global religion to "unite" all religions under the common goal of "saving the planet". Whether this occurs before the son of perdition is revealed or not is something I really cannot guess at but it would seem to me a precondition to usher in the false messiah.
7. The ongoing manufactured turmoil (including deliberate banking security weaknesses introduced to make electronic fraud and theft easier) around the world in the areas of finance and commerce leading to national governments capitulating to the UN and the IMF and implementing cashless systems linked to the IMF and/or the World Bank and perhaps other international bankster-run organisations, forcing everybody to have an international account along with the required account number, as well as accepting biometric security as necessary for the effectiveness of "the system" in defeating fraud and theft. Other claims will include the need to identify terrorist and international pedophile ring activities and so forth. Who could oppose that? Certainly not a planet full of terrified people!
8. The banksters continue to allow a certain level of insecurity in the system in order to eventually force everybody who wants to engage in "legitimate" trade to receive "the mark". Alternatively, "the mark" becomes the next means of identifying "vaccinated" people after a new and worse plandemic takes place. This can be done by forming the patches with micro-needles used to "inject" the "vaccine" in such a manner as to created the pattern of quantum dots necessary to depict the mark of the beast.
9. Eventually, the son of perdition has to make an appearance and may come in as "a saviour", seemingly, as if by magic or supernatural power, alleviating all the distress and seemingly subduing all the turmoil, even wars and the like. He will then take his place at the temple and declare himself god. Whether he appears before or after the appearance of "the mark" is debatable but, perhaps, his appearance will usher in the forced requirement for the mark, so it may at first be voluntary.
The mark may be a subcutaneous tattoo using rows of quantum dots forming a UPC barcode containing a person's identity code (linking to that person's account) along with the three pairs of double bars that indicate 666. Since, due to having used human tissue (of murdered children) for decades now in the design, testing and manufacture of many products (not just vaccines), and the implementation of "organ donor" programmes and the massive trade in human organs that already exists, humans are now, more than ever, seen as no more valuable than any other commercial product, which is precisely how socialism views the human being, merely as an economic unit to be used and eventually discarded and, as much as possible, recycled. Alternatively, a simple label indicating the number or name of the beast (remember, the beast is not a person but a state, an empire of some kind) made with rows of quantum dots may suffice, although it may be possible to fake with a false tattoo using a clear, matte plastic label placed over the skin. You will note that the scripture in Revelation chapter 13 does not indicate that a person (and therefore a person's account) is identified by the mark but only that the mark must simply be present to allow a person permission to trade.
In any case, whatever form the mark takes, the result is a combination of the mark with the already existing biometric database, powerful face recognition and identification software and video surveillance all connected to powerful servers (perhaps Google, Amazon, NSA, etc.) via the new, very high speed 5G networks, which can provide both instant account access and strong security. A simple LED array of an appropriate emission spectra can be used to "light up" the mark and make it highly visible in the normally visible light range. This can operate quite literally like a camera flash so that the mark of the beast appears for a very brief instant but enough for today's high performance digital imaging and image processing technology to capture, process and recognise it, although perhaps too fast for the human eye.
Just remember, although this may appear a viable course of events at this point in time, it is still speculative but your focus on the Lord will both alleviate anxiety and, simultaneously, cause your understanding and perception to be led by His Spirit, so you will not need to speculate as you watch the events unfold and correctly perceive their significance. He is the one to direct your path, not your pastor or friend or priest or any other person; Christ only.
At this point, all who refuse the mark of the beast will be denied basic needs to live since they will be unable to even purchase food and clothing for themselves. Is it any wonder that the Lord, Yeshua, specifically spoke about these particular needs when He exhorted believers to trust God for all things and seek first God's kingdom and His righteousness and "all these (other) things will be added to you also"? Yes, they are very basic and seemingly obvious (after the fact, of course) but it is the specificity of using them explicitly in the discourse that should make clear He knew well ahead of time what we should prepare for. He did this on numerous occasions with other issues, also.
Mat 6:25-33 "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? (26) Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? (27) And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? (28) And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, (29) yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. (30) But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? (31) Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' (32) For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. (33) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
If you are not already near or at that place of total trust, you really, really need to work at it and rush towards that now because all who receive the mark of the beast are then the property of the beast and, with the beast, go to perdition. As the scripture clearly points out, this calls for the patience and the faith of the saints.
Mat 24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Do not fear, for we are in the world for a time such as this. We are to be the growingly bright lights in a deepeningly dark world, the darker the world then the brighter we must shine for the Lord and for all the lost souls awash in the misery of this final madness.
