Do you find your conversation often straying toward negativity?

This happens so easily. There is a lot of negativity in the world; from politics to violence and drugs; financial reversals, difficulty with our kids, and frustration with our coworkers.

I grabbed my Bible and began looking up Bible verses to battle negativity – my weapons that are powerful and mighty at destroying the plans of the enemy.
