12 Verses To Help In Times Of Stress and Anxiety
Laura Leanne Askew VSCO

Some days are harder than others. Some days you may feel like you just can't make it through. Some days debilitating anxiety can take over and everything you're doing never feels like enough.

I took some time this week to go through my bible and found my favorite verses that give me, personally, an overwhelming sense of calming when I feel I'm in despair.

Put your faith in the Lord, God- the creator of you and me; the trinity 3 in 1 and someone so powerful and so mighty. The bible literally says over 365 times "Do not be afraid". So, here's a little peace of mind for those in their daily struggles to remember that Jesus only has plans to prosper us. He loves you and works all things for your good in the long run. Have faith, my precious brother or sister- you are not alone.


1. "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation." -1 Peter 5:10

2. "Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; He will neither fail you nor abandon you.” -Deuteronomy 31:8

3. "The Lord will give [unyielding and impenetrable] strength to His people; the Lord will bless His people with peace." -Psalm 29:11

4. "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." -2 Corinthians 1:3-4

5. "Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don’t forget to thank him for his answers. If you do this, you will experience God’s peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ Jesus." -Philippians 4:6-7

6. "This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” -Joshua 1:9

7. "I love you, Lord; you are my strength. The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection. He is my shield, the power that saves me, and my place of safety.I called on the Lord, who is worthy of praise, and He saved me from my enemies." -Psalm 18:1-3

8. "Don’t be afraid, because I’m with you; don’t be anxious,because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I’m truly helping you. I’m surely upholding you with my victorious right hand.” -Isaiah 41:10

9. “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart! And the peace I give isn’t fragile like the peace the world gives. So don’t be troubled or afraid." -John 14:27

10. "God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day." -Psalm 46:5

11."'I will not cause pain without allowing something new to be born,' says the Lord." -Isaiah 66:9

12. "I asked the Lord for help, and He saved me from all my fears." -Psalm 34:4

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
