hard pressed

In these days of pandemic & social / political unrest, these words of Paul to the followers of Jesus in Corinth seemed appropriate...



2 Corinthians 2

8 We are pressed on every side by troubles, 

but we are not crushed. 

We are perplexed, 

but not driven to despair. 

9 We are hunted down, 

but never abandoned by God. 

We get knocked down, 

but we are not destroyed. 

10 Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus 

so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.
