12 Bible Verses To Live By
Hanging Out and Hanging In

Life is known for being a rollercoaster of emotions and events. Sometimes, we are on the top of the world and feel like nothing could bring us down. Other times, we wonder how can it possibly get any worse. Even though life is full of surprises, here are some bible verses to get us through the rough times.

This is my own personal verse: the one I go to when life gives me a lot of difficult problems. We all go through difficult times, but we always need to remind ourselves that we are not alone in our situations.

1. Joshua 1:9

In life, we can become afraid of the unknown. But in these times, we need to remember that our God is bigger than our problems and fears.

2. Deuteronomy 7:21

Worrying does nothing but steal our happiness and joy. By worrying, we cannot change the outcome. Therefore, instead of worrying, we should pray; praying reminds us that God is in control at all times. No matter what happens, God's got it under control.

3. Philippians 4:6

For the same reason, we cannot worry about what tomorrow brings but rather focus on the issues at hand. Take each day at a time and trust God with His plan.

4. Matthew 6:34

God makes ALL things work for the good of people who have been called. During the good times, it is easy to see how God makes things work for our benefit. The difficult times is when it can be impossible to understand how it is going to help us later on. However, it will. Maybe not at that moment, but in the future, God may have something better planned.

5. Romans 8:28

God is with us always and no matter what we do, God will always love us. No matter where we go, God is with us. We could be the worst sinner in the world, but He still loves us.

6. Romans 8:38-39

The world tells us to be something other than what we are called to be. We live in a world plagued with sin and temptations. It can be so easy to fall into these temptations. But God warns us against this and to follow His plan. This is never easy, but it will lead to great reward in heaven.

7. Romans 12:2

In difficult times, we should turn to God. Sometimes we do not understand why things happen, but we should rely on God. Be calmed by His presence and trust Him.

8. Psalm 62:1-2

God's strength is infinite. He can get us through any difficult situation and by relying on his strength, we too can be strong.

9. Isaiah 40:31

Our current circumstances may not be good, but there is going to be something better. When we have hit rock bottom, the only way is up.

10. Romans 8:18

Nothing is impossible with God. Our God is an all-powerful God who can do anything.

11. Philippians 4:13

God's plan may not make sense in the moment, but He is not here to punish us. He loves us and knows what is best for us.

12. Jeremiah 29:11

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
