Colossians 3:16, ESV
We read, memorize, and live out Scripture, because by it the Holy Spirit moves through us to lift each other up in Christ in wisdom and thankfulness and through conversations and singing God’s truth.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, ESV
As God’s faithful, we are to help and encourage each other in all things, as He helps and encourages us, especially through Christ.
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

We are to live in peace with those around us, especially our family in Christ.
Yes, it can be trying at times, but our Lord helps us by His Spirit.
