14 Bible Verses To Help You Through A Tough Time

Let's just say these past few weeks haven't been easy. Sometimes you get stuck inside your head and forget about what is important in life and what you have, instead of what you don't have. I decided to compile a list of Bible verses that I find helpful when everything seems helpless. It's okay to feel alone, upset, and angry. You can allow yourself to feel like a failure or burden. It is alright to feel beat yourself up for a little while, but don't stay in that dark place because the longer you stay, the harder it is to get out. If you've experienced any excessive anger, stress, heartbreak, failure, or loss you should consider taking a look at this list:

1 John 4:16

"And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them."

Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Isaiah 41:10

"Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous hand."

Psalms 147:3

"He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

1 Corinthians 13:7

"Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

Revelation 21:4

"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through Him who gives me strength."

Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Psalm 3:3

"But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high."

1 Peter 5:7

"Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you."

Psalms 34:17

" The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles."

Romans 8:18

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."

James 1:19-20

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."

John 14:27

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
