The world it seems is on fire. Sin is running rampant and Satan has a stronghold over so much of what is happening. It is disheartening to follow the news especially when we see events such as happened in Paris this week.
My suggestion is to first limit how much news you consume. That is difficult medicine as a recovering news and weather junkie, but it will help. The 24 hour access to news is a two edged sword bringing us much information while not truly allowing us to digest it all and seek understanding.
Next make sure you replace that news time with additional time in God's word and communicating with Him in prayer. This will reduce our anxieties related to all that is happening around us.
Finally seek opportunities to serve. When we take our an inward motivation and turn it into positive action we feel better about ourselves, and more importantly can have a positive impact on others. It is through service that we touch the hearts of others, and if enough of us come together as servants we can make a difference. With God we will. . . Overcome all the negative news.
