From time to time, it can be easy to lack motivation, especially being in school. I know that if you spend a lot of time studying and pouring yourself into school, you can easily become burnt out and unmotivated. If you're finding yourself in that type of situation (whether it be school, work, or other responsibilities), here are 11 Bible Verses that you can lean on for encouragement and motivation.

1. 1 Corinthians 3:23

"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men."

2. 1 Corinthians 15:58

"Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain."

3. Proverbs 3:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding."

4. Psalm 34:17-20

"When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken."

5. Matthew 19:26

"With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

6. Romans 12:11

"Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord."

7. Philippians 4:19

"And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."

8. Isaiah 40:29-31

"He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall not faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount on wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

9. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."

10. John 4:34

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work."

11. Colossians 3:23-24

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

So, whatever you're going through or whatever you're feeling unmotivated about, I hope that this helps. Know that God is always with you and will give you strength when you need it. So, surrender it all to Him and He will see you through.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
