Prioritize Worship: "Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts." - Colossians 3:16 (🎶)

Study God's Word: "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." - 2 Timothy 3:16 (📖)
-
Be Authentic: "Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." - James 5:16 (🤝)

Encourage Accountability: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another." - Proverbs 27:17 (⚒️)

Trust in God: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding." - Proverbs 3:5 (🙏)
