17 Bible Verses You Need Right Now
Stephanie Sterjovski

Sometimes we feel stuck. Buried, under a mountain of stress, work, school, responsibility. Sometimes all we see is the road ahead, filled with obstacles and hard work, and we want to shy away from all of it. But there is no need for that. We have a father in Heaven who loves us so much, and He would never write anything into our stories that we couldn't handle. These verses will hopefully remind you of that as you walk through the craziness of life.

When you’re exhausted...

Come to me all of you who are tired from carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28

When you’re stressed...

Cast all of your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7

When you’re angry...

A gentle response defuses anger, but a sharp tongue kindles a temper-fire. Proverbs 15:1

Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ. Ephesians 4:32

When you’re celebrating...

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, and His love endures forever. Psalm 107:4

Be joyful always, pray continuously, and give thanks in all circumstances. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

When you’re nervous...

Trust in Him as all times, oh people, pour out your heart before him, God is a refuge for us. Psalm 62:8

God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Psalm 46:5

When you’re hurting...

The pain that you've been feeling can't compare to the joy that's coming. Romans 8:18

When you can’t decide...

When you need wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously. James, 1:5

When you’re afraid...

"Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. Isaiah 41:10

When you’re anxious...

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Philippians 4:6

When you feel ignored...

Have patience, God isn't finished yet. Philippians 1:6

When you’re lonely...

But the Lord stood by my side and gave me strength. 2 Timothy 4:17

When you’re overwhelmed...

When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Psalm 61:2

When you’re jealous...

For wherever there is jealousy, and selfish ambition, there you will find disorder and evil of every kind. James 3:16

A peaceful heart leads to a healthy body, jealousy is like cancer in the bones. Psalm 14:30

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.
