chris n: Is there a bible verse that says not to let the actions of others control how you live your life?
I need to know of any verses in the Bible that provide encouragement for a person that is having lies spread about them. Also, any verses that would say that this person should not let the actions of these people control how they live their life.

Offer misinformed people an explanation, doing so with mildness. Romans 12:14
Yes, remember Jesus’ promise: “Happy are you when people reproach you and persecute you and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake. Rejoice and leap for joy, since your reward is great in the heavens; for in that way they persecuted the prophets prior to you.” Matthew 5:11, 12.
The presumptuous have smeared me with falsehood.
As for me, with all [my] heart I shall observe your orders. (Psalm 119:69)
Preston has some great points. Along with that. The key is having a stabilizing factor in your life. It is nice that you are seeking gods guidance. Strong belief in god and faith that his direction is the best possible way of life there is will give you the security you need to live the way you desire. Whatever a person may undertake in life, he will improve his personal security by turning to the right source for guidance. And since it is God who created man and man’s mind, it is only He who can give true guidance that leads to the greatest personal security. In his Word, the Bible, God says: “My son, my law do not forget, and my commandments may your heart observe, because length of days and years of life and peace will be added to you. Trust in Jehovah with all your heart and do not lean upon your own understanding. In all your ways take notice of him, and he himself will make your paths straight.”—Prov. 3:1, 2, 5, 6.
the key to the greatest personal security in these troubled times is this: Learn God’s laws and then live by them. God’s laws were established for man’s benefit. The closer a person comes to guiding his life by them, the greater the benefit and security he will receive. That this is the case can be testified to by millions of people throughout the world who associate together in an organization based on God’s laws and principles. These are Jehovah’s witnesses. They believe in God, obey his laws, and associate together for their upbuilding in a unified organization made up of thousands of congregations in over 220 different lands world wide. They enjoy a security the rest of the world does not have.
