College can be a very stressful time for everyone. There's papers, tests, reflections, quizzes, social events, work, and not to mention eating, sleeping, and breathing. It can definitely be a lot. Luckily for Christians in college, we know that regardless of how stressed we are, Jesus has got our back. He's looking out for us and He has a plan, but we can forget that sometimes. So in case you need a reminder, here's a few Bible verses that might give some reassurance.
