Saki ga Omoiyarareru

When you are worried that a bad situation is about to happen in the future, you can say saki ga omoiyarareru (先が思いやられる).

Since saki (先) means "future," and omoiyarareru (思いやられる) is the combination of omoiyaru (思いやる - meaning "to be worried") with the spontaneous auxiliary verb reru (れる), this phrase means "to be worried about the future."

In most cases, omoiyarareru is used with words describing the future.

For example, you can say yukusue ga omoiyarareru (行く末が思いやられる) by replacing saki with yukusue (行く末 - meaning "future/fate").
先が思いやられる

この先、悪い状況に陥りそうで不安に感じることを、「先が思いやられる」と言います。

「先」は「将来」のこと、「思いやられる」は "to feel anxious" を意味する「思いやる」に自発の助動詞「れる」がついたものであるため、「先が思いやられる」は文字どおり "to feel anxious about the future" という意味になります。

「思いやられる」は、ほとんどの場合、未来を表す語と併せて使用されます。

例えば、"future/fate" を意味する「行く末」をつけて、「行く末が思いやられる」のように使うことができます。
