I agree, this is a great post, no matter what your faith!
One thing that really stuck with me from my study of Buddhism is the Buddhist principle of impermanence (sp?). Nothing is gonna last forever in our finite life. I think about all the times when I was in the midst of some type of emotional upheaval. You always think that the horrible way you feel is going to go on for ever. But life has a way of moving on and you do get past things. And some things, the pettiness in life especially, have a way of disappearing altogether.
It's really helped me to keep that in mind. That no matter how difficult something is, or no matter how horrible I feel, it's not going to last forever. That makes it so much easier for me to get through things, and to not let them overwhelm me.
Just my .02
