When we go through struggles in life, God wants us to go to him and talk to him about it. He even wants us to turn to the bible for answers. So, I have compiled a list of inspirational bible verses for you to read when you need encouragement and strength.

Proverbs 18:10 - The name of the LORD is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.

Proverbs 3:5 - Trust in the LORD with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding.

Proverbs 3:6 - Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.

1 Peter 5:7 - Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.

Isaiah 12:2 - See, God has come to save me. I will trust in him and not be afraid. The LORD GOD is my strength and my song; he has given me victory.

Isaiah 26:3 - You will keep in peace, all who trust in you, all whose thoughts are fixed on you.

Isaiah 40:29 - He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Isaiah 40:31 - But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.

Isaiah 41:10 - Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand.

Psalm 23:4 - Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close behind me.

Psalm 28:7 - The LORD is my strength and shield.I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving.

Psalm 28:8 - The LORD gives his people strength. He is a safe fortress for his anointed king.

Psalm 46:1 - God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.

Ephesians 6:10 - A final word: Be strong in the LORD and in his mighty power.

Philippians 4:13 - For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength.

Hebrews 13:5 - Don't love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never fail you. I will never abandon you."

Most of these verses tell you that the LORD is strength, and he will give you strength. Times will get rough, but you just have to focus on God, and he will give you strength.

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.

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.

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.
