15 Bible Verses For Anyone Carrying A Burden That Seems Too Big
Megan Coltharp

In your twenties, most of life is completely unexpected. What will you eat for dinner? How long can you survive on $0.30? When's the next time you'll get to sleep?

Let's just admit it -- college is hard and we are all just trying to do the best we can.

Every now and then, it seems like God has decided to give us a full load. He never gives us more than we can bear, but Lord it sure seems like it is unbearable sometimes.

Here are fifteen bible verses for anyone who feels like the burden is too great right now:

1. For nothing will be impossible with God. - Luke 1:37

2. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Phillippians 4:13
3. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5
4. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. - Philippians 4:6
5. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28
6. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. - Jeremiah 17:7
7. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. - Psalm 56:3
8. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this. - Psalm 37:59.
9. In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. - Psalm 25:11
10. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? - Romans 8:31
11. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7
12. Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? - Matthew 6:27
13. Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. - Proverbs 12:25
14. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. - Psalm 34:4
15. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. - Isaiah 40:29


No matter what burden in your life seems too big to carry, put your trust in God. No matter what is happening, "When you go through deep waters, He will be with you" (Isaiah 43:2).

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.

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.
