Every individual experiences a time where they feel as though they are lost, struggling or lacking control in their life. This is normal; everyone has bad days, but it is important to remember that God has your back. There is a plan already created for you, and as long as you trust in Him and follow His ways, everything will turn out better than you could hope for. Here are some Bible verses that you can refer to in order to help you through the stressful times in college and life in general.
