Keep your faith in Him and be confident. Let's go to:
Psalms 37:14 "The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, [And] to slay such as be of upright conversation."

upright (Strong's 3477) straight or upright; (from Strong's 3474) to be upright, right, just, straight or made level;
conversation (Strong's 1870) a road (as trodden), course of life or mode, conversation, custom, manner or passenger; (from Strong's 1869) to tread, to walk, to string a bow (by treading on it in bending).
So know that this world is not fair, but dear God is Faithful and Fair to those that love Him and go to Him for Cover and Protection. There will be negativity out there, so you need to make the effort to have an attitude of faith. Keep your confidence not in you, but in Almighty God, Who is All Powerful and All Knowing. He sees what it is going on in your life, and always corrects for your benefit and makes sure that you are cared for. It does take a condition on your part and that is to go to Him and be there for Him. Keep your faith in Him keeping your attention focused on Him.
The Word is a place to see how to defend and prevail in the world of conflict and challenges. Know that because you love dear God all of His enemies are yours including Satan. So keep open-minded always using sound judgment based in what HE has written to you. Let's see here in:
Ephesians 6:16 "Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked."
shield (Strong's 2375) a large shield (as door-shaped)); (from Strong's 2374) a portal or entrance (the opening or the closure), door or gate;
faith (Strong's 4102) persuasion
fiery (Strong's 4448) to be ignited, glow or refined; (from Strong's 4442) fire or fiery;
darts (Strong's 956) a missile, spear, arrow or dart;
wicked (Strong's 4190) hurtful, evil (in effect or influence), so character, ill, diseased, vicious, guilt or malice.
So keep up that shield, which is His Shield over your life. That way when the arrows from those that are hurtful are shot at you, you have cover in your faith for Him.
Thank Him for that cover and ask that He cover your family and friends. He hears you so go to Him. Ask Him to keep you faithful to Him, that way you can go out there and do more for Him keeping your confidence and positive attitude.
Finally, keep your faith in Him and be confident. You have that One, Almighty God, right there in front of you. Keep focused on Him, so you do not let the little things of this world pull you down. Take control of your life by keeping with Him. He will love you for that. Show Him you faith that He is there and loves you so much.
Thanks dear God for Your Love and Your Faith,
