We all have days where nothing seems to go right. Instead of crying, eating ice cream, and listening to sad music we can take a more biblical approach.The next time your day is nothing but bad news sit down with a few of these verses and offer up a prayer to the Lord.

1. James 1:2-5

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, when you are involved in various trials, because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance.But you must let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing. Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives to everyone generously without a rebuke, and it will be given to him."

2. Romans 5:3-4

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."

3. John 16:33

"More than that, we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."

4. Romans 8:28-29

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them. For God knew his people in advance, and he chose them to become like his Son, so that his Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters."

5. Psalm 9:9

"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."

6. Nahum 1:7

"The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; he knows those who take refuge in him."

7. 2 Corinthians 1:4

"He comforts us whenever we suffer. That is why whenever other people suffer, we are able to comfort them by using the same comfort we have received from God."

8. 1 Peter 5:7

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you."

9. Psalm 50:15

"and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me."

10. 1 Thessalonians 5:18

"give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."

Never forget that the Lord cares for us immensely. He loves us more than anything in the world. Even when our day is rough, our Lord is still there for us. He will never leave us, and he will always be ready to listen. Come to him on your bad days and i assure you things will brighten up.

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1007

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
