5 Bible Verses For When You Are Afraid

God is greater than our ups and downs.

We all face scary times in our lives; times when we are afraid of the future or of what's going to happen next. But, just like Daniel in the lion's den or Jonah in the whale, we know that if we just have faith, He will keep us afloat.

1. “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is my stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” -Psalm 27:1

2. “I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9

3. “Surely my God is my salvation; I will rust, and will not be afraid, for the LORD God is my strength and my might; he has become my salvation.” -Isaiah 12:2

These first three verses remind us that God is always with us, and we do not have o be afraid of anyone or anything! God is our light, our salvation, and stronghold; He will protect us and deliver us.

4. “The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. ‘The LORD is my portion,’ says my soul, ‘therefore I will hope in him.’ The LORD is good to those who wait for him, to the soul that seeks him.” -Lamentations 3:22-25

When you feel like crying during difficult times, cry out to God. He will always listen and He will always forgive when we need to be forgiven. He will help because God loves us and cares for us.

5. “Then King Darius wrote… ‘For he is the living God, Enduring forever. His kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion has no end. He delivers and rescues, he works signs and wonders in Heaven and on earth; for he has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.” -Daniel 6: 26b-27

The king may not have been able to save Daniel from the lions, but God was! Because Daniel was so faithful to God (even though he knew he could get into trouble), God sent an angel to shut the mouth of the lion.

If we remember that, then we can be sure that, figuratively speaking, God could save us from all the "lions" we may encounter in our lives and help us in our time of need.

He will always take care of you, just like He took care of all the people in the Bible.

So, whenever you have a fearful thought, just remember that God is always with you and taking care of you.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

1. "Talk about a dream
Try to make it real
You wake up in the night
With a fear so real
Spend your life waiting
For a moment that just don't come
Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
