I think that this one is more for me than for you. These are the scriptures that I either know by heart or know the principle that I remind myself of throughout my day. I don’t know everything there is to know about the Bible. I haven’t ever sat down and read the whole thing even, but I do know that God is the reason I’m here and God has given me everything in my life.

Scripture to remind me that I am strong enough

I pray almost every day for the strength from God to get through the day, my struggle, class. God is the reason I have survived %100 of my bad days.

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Proverbs 4:13
Be strong in the Lord and his mighty power. Ephesian 6:10

Scripture to remind me that I am worthy

Sometimes I get hyper-focused on what I want and not what I’m actually worthy of. I start helping other people too much not realizing that I am worthy of great things too.

She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Proverbs 3:15

Scripture to remind me, “Let go and let God”

Usually, I try to do everything by myself. That’s when I need a reminder that I not only need to ask my friends and family for help but that I also need to let God handle things.

The name of the lord is a fortified tower; the righteous run to it and are safe. Proverbs 18:10
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. Joshua 1:9

Scripture to remind me that everything happens for a reason

If I didn’t talk to the new girl, I wouldn’t know what I know now. If I didn’t have to scramble to find a new prom group I would never have really met him. If I hadn’t replied to a text, I would have never gotten to know him.

My son, do not despise the Lord's discipline or be weary of his reproof. Proverbs 3:11
Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. Ecclesiastes 3:1

(At a specific time)

If I had been born a year later, I wouldn’t have the same friends. If I had lost that friend a few months later, I wouldn’t have made those new friends then. If I had moved a couple years earlier, I wouldn’t have been bullied but I would have completely different a perspective on life.

He sets the time for birth and the time for death, the time for planting and the time for pulling up, the time for killing and the time for healing, the time for tearing down and the time for building. He sets the time for sorrow and the time for joy, the time for mourning and the time for dancing, the time for making love and the time for not making love, the time for kissing and the time for not kissing. He sets the time for finding and the time for losing, the time for saving and the time for throwing away, the time for tearing and the time for mending, the time for silence and the time for talk. He sets the time for love and the time for hate, the time for war and the time for peace. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
