9 Bible Verses To Help You Through The Rough Times

Life can be challenging and unfair sometimes, which is why it's nice to have something to go to when those times happen. Keeping your faith high when you feel low is a must. Whether you are feeling lonely, have family issues, making a huge transition in life or just feel sad, these verses will get you thinking and hopefully make you feel better.

2 Samuel 22:29

For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness.

Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord. He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when the heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and its not anxious in the year of drought, for it doesn't not cease to bear fruit.

Psalms 3:3

But you, O Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, and the lifter of my head.

2 Corinthians 4:16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

Romans 8:18

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed in us.

Isaiah 41:10

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

1 Corinthians 10:13

No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Proverbs 14:30

A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh, but envy makes the bones rot.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.

God is your rock, your light and your safe place. No matter what situation you are going through, the Lord won't abandon or hurt you. He will never put you in a problem that is too much for you to handle and will be there to pick you up if and when you fall. He will be there in your brightest times as well cheering you on. He is our Heavenly Father who won't ever fail us and will always support us. God's plan is unique for everyone; you need to keep fighting to see what He has in store for you. Even if you stray away from faith at times, God will never stray from you. Never forget the love God has for you.

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.

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.
