10 Verses to Remember as a Struggling College Student

1. You are not alone in times of pain and suffering.

“…we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” Romans 5: 3-5

2. Your past does not determine your present or your future.

“For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” Jeremiah 29:11

“…cast all your anxiety on Him, because he cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:7

5. We are never given trials too big.

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13

6. Times of heartache will soon end.

“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3
