Four Bible Verses When Life Gets Tough
Caitlynn Ledet

When life is at its worst and everything seems to be in shambles, remember God’s got you. Through high tides and low tides, God is there by your side. Life will never be perfect, but its worth it. Always remember to pray during good times and bad because everything could be fine one day, and taken away the next.

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

Life can be hard at times, but God knows what is best for us. He has a purpose and a reason for all things in our lives, so we have to lean on Him for everything. You may not understand why God is putting this challenge in front of you, but He wouldn’t put you through it if he didn’t know you could handle it.

2. “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” – Matthew 21:22

Whether you are praying for guidance, healing, or peace, God knows best. Our prayers may not be answered right away, but we have to learn patience for his timing because it is always perfect. Sometimes, we get exactly what we prayed for, and other times, they are far off, but they are always for the best.

3. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” - Romans 8:18

When in the present of a struggle, we think and feel as there is no hope. This is not true; we have God by our side through everything. He is our light and hope during the times of suffering and pain. God with lead us to all the right things.

4. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I Am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10

Going through life can be hard and challenging but God’s got you. Stay calm through all situations. An entire ocean can’t sink a ship unless it allows the water inside. This is the same with life, we can let our struggles sink us or keep pushing through“Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”

In life we will encounter struggles and hardships that feel like death, but we have to remind ourselves of the love God has for us. At some point in our lives, we will hit rock bottom, and this will feel like a problem that can’t be solved, but it can. Hitting rock bottom can be a blessing in disguise, so always have faith in our God and what he has planned for our lives.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
