Desperate is normal. We can turn to God in our desperation, and we can find hope — resurrection hope — even as we face the worst.
Pursue unity, because it’s good, pleasant, and blessed by God.
Trust in God's promises even when they don't seem to be coming true, because God always keeps his promises better than we expect.
Release pride and heavy burdens, seek peace and rest in God's presence.
A fulfilling life comes from fearing and obeying God, and living this way brings happiness to oneself and others.
