1. For courage.

"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 1:19

No matter how much I'm stressing this next test, hurting from a break-up or just having a bad day, I read this and think Everything is going to be okay.

2. For stress.

"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you hope and a future." — Jeremiah 29:11

When you're feeling stressed about your future — which college students have a tendency to do — take a deep breath and relax. He has your whole future planned out. Calm down and pray about it.

3. On being a better person.

"But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." — Matthew 5:44

We live in a scummy world. People will do you wrong, but don't stoop down to their level. Handle these situations with grace, courage, and humility.

4. On love.

"We love because He first loved us." — 1 John 4:19

When you feel alone, just know that you're not. No matter how much you might think you're not loved or worthy, you are, by Him.

5. On death.

"For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him." — 1 Thessalonians 4:14

The death of a loved one is something we will have to overcome many times. It's always hard to explain why Jesus allowed this to happen to someone we love. They didn't deserve to die. Why did this have to happen to them? He did it for a reason that we'll later be aware of. But also, they're with Him now, isn't that the goal of a Christian? To be with Jesus Christ in Heaven?

6. For strength.

"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." — Philippians 4:13

If you truly want something and not only try your hardest, but also pray about it, He will answer you and give you what's best.

7. For his plans for you.

"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails." — Proverbs 19:21

Notice how I said "what's best" in the previous verse. Not everything that we want is what we need. If He doesn't give you something, it's because He has something better in store for you. Always have faith in Him.

Someone once told my dad that God always has three answers to people's prayers: yes, not yet or I have something better in store for you. If He brings you to it, He'll bring you through it.
