13 Bible Verses For The Stressed Student
Viridian

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.

1. Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take."

2. 2 Corinthians 12:10

"I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong."

3. Psalms 37:4-5

"Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart's desires. Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust Him, and He will help you."

4. Ephesians 2:19-22

"You are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family. Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Jesus Christ himself. We are carefully joined together in Him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord. Through Him you too are being made part of this dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit."

5. Ecclesiastes 3:11-12

"Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time. He has planted eternity in the human heart, but even so, people cannot see the whole scope of God's work from beginning to end. So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can."

6. Ecclesiastes 11:9

"Young people, it is wonderful to be young! Enjoy every minute of it. Do everything you want to do; take it all in. But remember that you must give an account to God for everything that you do."

7. Matthew 19:26

"Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But with God everything is possible."

8. John 15:16

" You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you."

9. Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for what He has done. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Jesus Christ."

10. Joshua 1:9

"Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go."

11. James 1:12

"God blesses those who patiently endures testing and temptation. Afterward they receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him."

12. Philippians 4:19

"My God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus."

13. Jeremiah 29:11-13

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and hope. In those days when you pray, I will listen. If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.'"

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
