A Scriptural Pep Talk to Those Who Are Anxious

Sometimes, we can't help but be anxious. We as humans worry about everything! Whether this is a job interview, or a speech, worrying is a common thing. But, the bible says many things about worrying and being anxious. As a Christian, I know that I shouldn't worry, but sometimes I need a little more reminding. So here are 13 verses about worrying to remind you, don't worry about it. God's got you. (This is mostly a pep talk for myself. We all need this)

1. Matthew 6:25-26

It is easy to forget how much God cares for us. This scripture is a good reminder that even the sparrows are loved by God, and if we as humans are very good, how much more are we worth.

2.Proverbs 3:5-6

Trusting in the lord always is not always the easiest thing to do. But leaning on him can be so relieving. If you let go of that worry, then he will guide you. What relief he gives.

3. Phillipians 4:6-7

Be anxious about nothing. This can be a constant struggle. This is something I try to tell myself when I am worried about something. But when you bring your requests to God and give thanks, he will give you peace. Peace, sweet peace.

4. Luke 12:32-34

Don't be afraid about stuff! It's so hard not to think about the worries of money or the things you have. But God calls us to put our treasures in heaven, and there nothing, nothing can destroy.

5. Matthew 11:28-30

When you're worried, let Jesus carry your load. Let him give you rest by taking up your worries.

6. John 14:27

Don't be troubled or afraid, and take on God's peace. Accept this new peace that is not of this world.

7. Colossians 3:15

The peace of Christ must control your heart. You can't be worrying and peaceful!

8. Psalm 55:22

Worrying can just be really burdening, but if we give up those burden, God will take care of you.

9. Proverbs 12:25

Anxiety can lead to depression. Depression isn't something that God wants for you. But allowing good thoughts to enter your mind will help you ease your mind. Good words will encourage you. Whatever is good, whatever is right, whatever is holy, think about such things.

10. 1 Peter 5:6-8

"Be clearheaded." How is worrying keeping your head clear? Throw all your care on Jesus so that your head can be clear! You'll probably do better with whatever you're worried about doing with a clearer head.

11. Psalm 23:4

Remember that God is there in the darkest valleys, and he will be there through whatever is making you anxious.

12. Hebrews 3:5

God will always be with you, and he promises that.

13. Romans 8:38

Nothing in life can separate us from the love of God. Nothing. Not life not death.

It can be hard not to worry about tomorrow, but God calls us to trust him in the future. We need to remember that when we are faced with anxiety, we can cast our cares on God. Now, I need to stop worrying about how things will go, and trust that God is going to have his way in me.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
