College is tough. We all know it. Between late night studying, four exams crammed into one week, maintaining a healthy social life, trying not to gain forty pounds, and never catching up on sleep, things can get pretty stressful and scary sometimes. We become homesick and miss our moms and home cooked meals. But through all the highs and lows I've experienced during my last four years of college, one thing has always stood true. And that is The Lord. He is always there for me and verses from His Word always comfort me and hold me close. There is a bible verse for just about every situation we face in college...so here they are:

When you're drowning in school and you don't know where to turn:

Psalm 121:2 - My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth

When you feel like a loser who can't do anything right:

1 Corinthians 1:27 - But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

When you feel judged and persecuted by those around you:

2 Corinthians 4:18 - So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

When you groan because you're awake at 4:30 am again and you really need to just sleep for one solid night:

Proverbs 3:24 - When you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet.

When you have no idea what your purpose is, what your major should be, and what you're doing with your life:

Jeremiah 29:11 - For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future. (my favorite!!)

When your life feels out of perspective and you don't know where you're headed:

Matthew 6:33-34 - 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.

When you're just having the greatest week ever and you need to thank the One who makes it possible:

Psalm 136:1 - Give thinks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever.

When you think you know it all, but your plan miserably fails:

Proverbs 3:5-6 - 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.

When you need strength or are thankful for the strength that you have:

Philippians 4:13 - I can do everything through him who gives me strength

Thank you My Lord for being by my side these past four years, and I can't wait to see where the next four take me!
