Bible Verses for the Struggling College Student

College can be very trying at times. We all struggle to juggle school work, jobs, social lives, extracurricular activities and more. Through these challenging times, it is sometimes hard to remember why we're doing what we're doing and why we put ourselves through all the stress that college entails. We're here because God wants us to be here and all of these struggles and hardships are a part of a grander plan. Sometimes we may feel alone but God has left reminders throughout the Bible that he cares for and loves us and only wants what is best for us. So, for those who are feeling stressed, anxious, discouraged or overwhelmed, you are not alone and these Bible verses are here to offer you encouragement and support.

When You Feel Anxious

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

"Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27

When You Feel Tired

"Come to me all who are weary and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak." Isaiah 40:29

When You Feel Confused

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him and who have been called according to His purpose." Romans 8:28

When You Feel Lost

"I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken." Psalm 16:8

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-7

When You Feel Overwhelmed

"When spirits grow faint within me, it is you who knows my way." Psalm 142:3

When You Feel Stressed

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, trust also in me." John 14:1

"Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself." Matthew 6:33-34

When you're feeling anxious, lost, confused or stressed, cast your worries on Him and reflect on God's Word. No matter where life takes you, trust in Lord and believe that everything that happens is all part of His bigger plan.

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.

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.
