The beginning of the semester is a hard time for most everyone. Getting back in the swing of meetings and classes can feel almost impossible. When it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day to get everything done, it can be easy to put time with Jesus on the backburner.

Instead of ignoring your faith and trying to manage it all on your own, here are 10 verses you can turn to.

1. Matthew 11:28

Rest is not a common feeling in a time of stress. Let yourself rest, even when it feels like the last thing you can manage.

2. Joshua 1:9

3. 1 Peter 5:7

4. 2 Corinthians 12:10

9. Psalm 55:22

God asks to take your stress and burdens. He will carry you when it feels as though you can't take another step.

10. Isaiah 41:10

There is one recurring theme in all of these verses. Life is not meant to be done alone. Manage a stressful semester by placing your trust in the Lord.

Hopefully, the semester will get easier as time passes but either way, make sure to prioritize your relationship with Christ. The bible is the only guide book to life we get, so you might as well use it. After all, who could manage life without some direction?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
