12 Bible Verses To Live By
Hanging Out and Hanging In

Life is known for being a rollercoaster of emotions and events. Sometimes, we are on the top of the world and feel like nothing could bring us down. Other times, we wonder how can it possibly get any worse. Even though life is full of surprises, here are some bible verses to get us through the rough times.

This is my own personal verse: the one I go to when life gives me a lot of difficult problems. We all go through difficult times, but we always need to remind ourselves that we are not alone in our situations.

1. Joshua 1:9

In life, we can become afraid of the unknown. But in these times, we need to remember that our God is bigger than our problems and fears.

2. Deuteronomy 7:21

Worrying does nothing but steal our happiness and joy. By worrying, we cannot change the outcome. Therefore, instead of worrying, we should pray; praying reminds us that God is in control at all times. No matter what happens, God's got it under control.

3. Philippians 4:6

For the same reason, we cannot worry about what tomorrow brings but rather focus on the issues at hand. Take each day at a time and trust God with His plan.

4. Matthew 6:34

God makes ALL things work for the good of people who have been called. During the good times, it is easy to see how God makes things work for our benefit. The difficult times is when it can be impossible to understand how it is going to help us later on. However, it will. Maybe not at that moment, but in the future, God may have something better planned.

5. Romans 8:28

God is with us always and no matter what we do, God will always love us. No matter where we go, God is with us. We could be the worst sinner in the world, but He still loves us.

6. Romans 8:38-39

The world tells us to be something other than what we are called to be. We live in a world plagued with sin and temptations. It can be so easy to fall into these temptations. But God warns us against this and to follow His plan. This is never easy, but it will lead to great reward in heaven.

7. Romans 12:2

In difficult times, we should turn to God. Sometimes we do not understand why things happen, but we should rely on God. Be calmed by His presence and trust Him.

8. Psalm 62:1-2

God's strength is infinite. He can get us through any difficult situation and by relying on his strength, we too can be strong.

9. Isaiah 40:31

Our current circumstances may not be good, but there is going to be something better. When we have hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

10. Romans 8:18

Nothing is impossible with God. Our God is an all-powerful God who can do anything.

11. Philippians 4:13

God's plan may not make sense in the moment, but He is not here to punish us. He loves us and knows what is best for us.

12. Jeremiah 29:11

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.

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.
