Papers, projects, and exams. It seems like everything is crammed into an overwhelming, stressful, and sleep-deprived two weeks. Although studying, late nights, and caffeine highs are inevitable, here are some words of comfort during this crazy time.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

"And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to hisspan of life?" -Luke 12:25

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me." -Philippians 4:13

"Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint." -Isaiah 40:30-31

'For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11

"Cast your burden on the LORD, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved." -Psalms 55:22

“Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly." -Matthew 11:28-30

“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all of your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." -1 Peter:5-6

"If God gives such attention to the appearance of wildflowers—most of which are never even seen—don't you think he'll attend to you, take pride in you, do his best for you? " -Matthew 6:30

"Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." -Matthew 6:34

Good luck to everyone on final exams!
