We've all been there. It feels like everything in your life is crashing down around you and no matter what you do to try and 'fix' it, nothing goes right. Eventually, you get to a point where you feel like giving up and you just can't seem to do anything right. Rather than giving up, give it to God. Here are some bible verses to help you along the way.

1. 2 Chronicles 20:15b

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

2. Psalm 27:14

"Wait for the Lord; be strong and courageous. Wait for the Lord."

3. Psalm 28:7

"The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped. Therefore my heart rejoices, and I praise Him with my song."

4. Psalm 46:5

"God is within her; she will not be toppled. God will help her when the morning dawns."

5. Proverbs 3:26

"for the Lord will be your confidence and will keep your foot from a snare."

6. Proverbs 31:25

"Strength and honor are her clothing and she can laugh at the time to come."

7. Jeremiah 17:7

"The man who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence indeed is the Lord, is blessed."

8. Romans 5:8

"But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."

9. 2 Corinthians 4: 16-18

"So we're not giving up. How could we! Even though on the outside it often looks like things are falling apart on us, on the inside, where God is making new life, not a day goes by without His unfolding grace. These hard times are small potatoes compared to the coming good times, the lavish celebration prepared for us. There's far more here than meets the eye. The things we see now are here today, gone tomorrow. But the things we can't see now will last forever. "

10. Matthew 6:34

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. Therefore don't worry about tomorrow, because tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."

11. Isaiah 55:8

"'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways.' This is the Lord's declaration."

AI music threatens creativity

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.

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.
