As a junior in college, I often find myself stressing out about the future. I question and question what I want to do with my life and where my purpose comes in at. Sometimes I worry about the unknown future that lies ahead. If only we could get a short glimpse into the future. If only we knew exactly where we would be after graduating college. Unfortunately we cannot see for ourselves, but God can. He knows everything that is going to happen. Whether that is in the next hour, next week, next year, or even in twenty years. He works all things out for our good and we just have to trust that.
Here are ten bible verses when we need that extra reminder.

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."
