Romans 12:2

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Our focus is the key to our overcoming in this world. The news and current affairs will bring doubt and unbelief into our lives, negating our faith.  When we should be prayer warriors, our fear of the current situation will leave us powerless.  Our renewed minds to the word will overcome any lies the devil tries to throw our way.
