To be spiritually minded is life and peace. Romans 8:6
A common misconception of Christian believers is that we are isolated from what's going on in the world around us. For instance, I was recently talking to a good friend and was trying to lift their spirits with words of encouragement. No matter what I said, there was always another excuse and much of the conversation was dominated by the typical "woe is me" talk. Sadly, my friend wouldn't listen to anything I said as it pertained to matters of faith...
The truth about followers of Christ is they too also experience disappointment and hurt just like everyone else. We also face temptations on a regular basis. The biggest difference is that when our peace is disrupted with havoc and chaos, we don't stay down for long.
Believers are filled with the Spirit, so we are able to refocus our attention on the bigger picture and acknowledge the truth that our peace comes from God.
