5 Bible Verses For The Struggling College Student
Pixaby

College is a VERY stressful time. Between all the studying, the social events, and the sporting events, some students tend to fall from their faith and that can cause someone to get even more stressed out. Like crying every second of the day stressed out. (Just me? Okay.) However, here are 5 bible verses that will get you through some of the most stressful times.


1. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

Sometimes when everything becomes too much and you've stretched yourself too thin, it's hard to be able to be able to think about what to do next, or where to go, but don't worry. ". . .the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

2. Philippians 4:6

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God."

This one is pretty self-explanatory. Whenever life gets too hard, and college gets stressful, just let go and let God.

3. Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Pressure to do the wrong thing also can leave you with a lot of stress. However, when you read this know that doing what is right may not be the easiest thing, but in the end, doing the right thing is the only thing that matters.

4. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken."

We can't let the evils of the world get to us. WHATEVER you are worried about, give it to God. He already has a plan for you.

5.1 Peter 5:7

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

I just put this in here to reiterate the fact to just let go and let God. He has clearly said multiple times in scripture to give all of your worries to him.

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.
