7 Times God Has Told Us It Will Be OK

Life can be so straining, but if we cast our anxieties on God, he will sustain us.

No matter your age, major, clubs, internships, relationship status, or financial situation, everyone worries about the future. God tells us not to worry. to trust in him.

1. Isaiah 43:2 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."

God is always with us. He is taking every step with us and holding our hands. He embraces us with his presence and protects us from the dangerous obstacles in this world. No matter what we step our feet in, we shall not fear.

2. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

Jesus Christ gives us peace every day. We should carry this peace with us to calm our nerves, restrain our anger, and prevent anxiety. This peace allows us to focus on ourselves and our relationship with God, not the abyss of oblivion.

3. Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Despite the highs and lows of life, God is there, and he is bigger and better. He will guide you.

4. Psalm 94:19 "When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."

When we are worried or anxious, we should turn to God. When we turn to him, he calms our anxieties and relieves our concerns.

5. Psalm 118:6 "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Your math test is not your ticket to heaven. Your yearly salary will not buy your way to heaven. Man can try to belittle you or hurt you, but with Christ within you, you never truly fail.

6. Matthew 6:34 " Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Tomorrow is never promised. But tomorrow will be God's gift, God's will, and a part of God's plan for your life. Tomorrow you will be successful, tomorrow you will be whole in Christ.

7. 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

Did you hear that? God CARES for you. You are a grain of sand compared to all the people he has created. But what is amazing is that God CARES for you. He loves you and wants you to prosper in his name in this life.

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.

We are all more than just one sign.

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.
