It has been said that discouragement is the handle that fits all the devil's tools. If Satan can get you to focus on the negative, he can get you discouraged and steal the victory of the Lord right out of your heart.
If Saints develop a "woe is me" attitude concerning the events of life, then you will be easy pray for the devil.
Or you can learn to put into practice the lessons the Apostle Paul gave believers at Philippi.
“Philippians 4:6-9 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
[7] And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
[8] Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
[9] Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.”
