11 Bible Verses For Troubling Times
Favim

How many times does a day start out perfectly, and after one thing goes wrong, the whole day falls apart? Or how about whenever we have something on our mind for days and weeks, and it controls our thoughts? If it is big or small, each of us has good and bad days that are caused by something that has gotten us down. Whether you grew up in church, you’re a strong believer, or you’ve never entered a church, each of these verses can provide comfort to you when you’re struggling.

No matter what mood you're feeling, what you want, or what you didn't know you needed, there's a verse in here for you.

1. Broken-hearted

“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.” Psalm 73:26

This reminds of a song we used to sing at my high school's church camp while I was growing up.

2. Stressed

“My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” James 1:2-4

3. Needing Faith

“And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.” John 5:5

4. Needing Forgiveness

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matthew 6:14-15

5. Insecure

“And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.” Deuteronomy 31:8

6. Happiness

“Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalm 37:4

7. Hope

“Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.But thou, O Lord, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.I cried unto the Lord with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the Lord sustained me.I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set themselves against me round about.” Psalm 3:2-6

8. Clarity

“To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:18

9.Wisdom

“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” 1 Corinthians 1:25

10.Salvation

“When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:25-26

11.Protection

“But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil.” 2 Thessalonians 3:3

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

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
