In some places, college football is considered just a sport or a fun pastime. In other places, college football is a religion — the teams are followed to a tee and many prayers are said during those few hours of play. During the fall months, weekends are full of two things — football on Saturdays and the Lord on Sundays. In some cases, maybe the game is so stressful and you just cannot wait until Sunday for worship. Don't worry, the Bible will always have your back.

1. "With God we will gain the victory, and he will trample down our enemies." [Psalms 108:13]

When you're feeling hopeful at the start of the game.

2. "The lot is cast unto the lap, but its every decision is from the Lord." [Proverbs 16:33]

When the score is all down to the last play in overtime.

3. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." [Deuteronomy 31:6]

When you just need to have Faith that the game will work out how it's supposed to.

4. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith." [2 Timothy 4:7]

When you lose, but you know that it was a good game.

5. "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." [Philippians 4:13]

When you just know that your team can do this.

6. "I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all." [Ecclesiastes 9:11]

When a bad call has been made and you need to say cool, calm, and collected.

7. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." [Hebrews 12:1-2]

When you need to believe in your team's abilities, no matter who they are up against.

8. "For we live by faith, not by sight." [2 Corinthians 5:7]

When you are losing and trying not to feel hopeless.

9. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." [Deuteronomy 31:6]

When you're nervous for the upcoming game against a very skilled team.

10. "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good.And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God." [Micah 6:8]

When you're an astounding team, but need to stay grateful and humble.

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
