Discouragement.


It is a feeling that most humans experience at some point in their lives. It can happen to anyone--men, women, and even children. During these times, it is so easy to lose faith in yourself and everyone around you.

As a young college student; I have definitely experienced my share of heartbreaks and discouraging feelings--and it sucked. Nothing could really get me out of my funk, except encouraging words from the Bible. The following verses helped me through some rough times and I hope they will help you all in your time of need. They are great reminders for us to stay focused and trust in the word of the Lord. God is for us and he wants to see us succeed!

1. John 14:1

"Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God, trust also in me."

2. Joshua 1:9

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. For the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

3. Psalm 46:5

"God is with her, she will not fall."

4. Deuteronomy 31:8

"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will neither fail you or abandon you."

5. 1 Peter 5:7

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

6. Psalms 112:7

"She does not fear the bad news. She confidently trusts the Lord to take care of her."

7. 2 Chronicles 20:15

"Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the battle is not yours, but God's."

8. John 16:33

"In this world you will have trouble. But take heart, I have overcame the world."

The world can get hectic at times and we are going to want to give up. But, we are stronger than that, and God wants us to trust and believe this. He gives us encouraging words like this to remind us that we are greater with him by our side. Stay blessed y'all.

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.
