"[God] disarmed the principalities and powers that were ranged against us and made a bold display and public example of them, in triumphing over them in Him and in it [the cross]." Colossians 2:15 AMPC
There will always be situations and circumstances that come against us to which we really wish we could avoid; situations that torment us mentally and, sometimes, physically. However, since avoidance isn't an option, we must remember that those powers coming against us are already defeated by God, which means that those powers are only as bad as we make them to be in our minds.
Our mental attitude and outlook towards our circumstances is what makes our circumstances either bad or good, because whichever the circumstance or situation, God has already taken care of them for us. Therefore, our thinking must be in line with the Word of God. If it isn't, then we will never live the blessed, peace-filled, joy-filled life that God has graciously given us, and died for us to live. We must be on a continual fight against darkness with the Word of God, prayer, and thanksgiving.
So, no matter what happens, from here until the day we get to be the good Lord in Heaven, let's start focusing on God, not the situation. When we do, I know that the Light will come in, and the darkness and fear within will begin to quickly fade away.
Praise God!!
