14 Bible Verses To Help You Through A Tough Time

Let's just say these past few weeks haven't been easy. Sometimes you get stuck inside your head and forget about what is important in life and what you have, instead of what you don't have. I decided to compile a list of Bible verses that I find helpful when everything seems helpless. It's okay to feel alone, upset, and angry. You can allow yourself to feel like a failure or burden. It is alright to feel beat yourself up for a little while, but don't stay in that dark place because the longer you stay, the harder it is to get out. If you've experienced any excessive anger, stress, heartbreak, failure, or loss you should consider taking a look at this list:

1 John 4:16

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Isaiah 41:10

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand."

Psalms 147:3

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

1 Corinthians 13:7

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Revelation 21:4

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Deuteronomy 31:6

"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."

Psalm 3:3

"But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high."

1 Peter 5:7

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you."

Psalms 34:17

" The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles."

Romans 8:18

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

James 1:19-20

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

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.
