Yes, we can be in the world but not of it. Everything outside, external to us, our body, our world, and anything in and of it is fleshly and carnal; temporal, worldly, and perishable.
No matter how disturbing our circumstances may be, let us be mindful that the fruits of the Spirit that dwells in us are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control and against such things, there is no law.
