Romans 12:21
Not saying it is easy, but this is excellent advice, and (as with all things that God asks us to do), possible. We can get feeling overwhelmed and feel like we can't fight the evil, that we can't do anything about it, either in the world or in our own lives... but the message God is sending us is that we can. If the scriptures overall are about anything, they are about the power of one person to make a difference when we listen to God and follow his way.
With God's help, we have the power not to be overwhelmed by evil, but to push back the other way, letting God (and good) prevail in our lives, and using our example and influence for good in the world around us. Today, let's do so, remembering that we won't succeed every time we try, but that if we press forward trusting in God that we will eventually succeed because God will make a way forward.
