Stressed about finals? Tired? Anxious? Don't be. Our Father in Heaven is here to comfort you. Through Him we find our strength. God has said there is no risk of failure, so don't let the worry paralyze you. He has a perfect plan for your life. Be still, trust and have faith. Let the waters rise and stand as the oceans roar. Sometimes it does take mountains, such as finals, in order for us to trust and believe in what He has planned but Gods got this. I pray these verses encourage you in these stressful moments ahead like have me. And remember, you can't fail if you follow God.
1. Proverbs 3:5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding but in all ways submit to him, and He will make your paths straight."
-Trust. God has you in the palm of His hand. He knows what He is doing. Good grade or bad grade, He is working it all out for your good. He already knows the outcome of your exam before you even take it. Let that give you peace.
2. Isaiah 41:10- "So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strength you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
- Don't be scared. God does not want us to fear. He is within us to strengthen us in our weakest moments. Ask him for strength and He will give it to you.
3. Psalms 120:1- "I call on the Lord in my distress, and He answers me."
- Surrender your needs. Lay it all down at the alter. When you are feeling overwhelmed and want to give up, don't. He is the God over the storm. "This too shall pass." He will bring you through the deep waters.
4. Romans 8:28- "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called accordingly to his purpose."
- Jesus Christ loves you. He loves you more than anyone else in this world. His love is loyal. Love him and let go. He is going to work everything out for your good. Not your will but His will be done in your life.
5. Philippians 4:13- "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."
- With God, everything is possible. He strengthens you with his right hand. You can do anything and everything through God, The Father. With His strength, you have already won the battle. His love is so much stronger than whatever troubles you.
“Do not strive in your own strength; cast yourself at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and wait upon Him in the sure confidence that He is with you, and works in you. Strive in prayer; let faith fill your heart-so will you be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might.” ~ Andrew Murray, PastorIt is well with my soul. I will trust in You.
