11 Bible Verses For The Worrier
Bigdays

I'm a worry-wart. While this may sometimes be a good trait to have (I'm the most meticulous, cautious person ever), most of the time it's flat out annoying. All too often, I can't fully enjoy the time I spend with family or friends because my mind is somewhere else, dwelling on something that is out of my control. I find peace in God and through these verses, and I hope you will too.

1. Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. An the peace of God which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Jesus Christ." (ESV)

2. Psalm 23:4

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." (ESV)

3. Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths." (ESV)

4. Matthew 6:34

"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself." (ESV)

5. Psalm 56:3

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." (ESV)

6. Hebrews 13:5-6

"For he has said, 'I will never leave you more forsake you.' So we can confidently say, 'The Lord is my helper; I will not fear; what can man do to me?'" (ESV)

7. John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid." (ESV)

8. Colossians 3:15

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful." (ESV)

9. Isaiah 41:10

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my rigteous right hand." (ESV)

10. Psalm 94:19

"When the anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy." (NIV)

11. 1 Peter 5:7

"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (ESV)

No matter what trial you're facing, large or small, God has you and He cares for you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
