College is a very interesting time in our lives. It's a new chapter, it allows you to move on to a new part of your life and allow you to better yourself. With that being said, change can be extremely overwhelming at times.

In times of desperation or if you feel overwhelmed, it helps to know that you have someone there, whether it's a friend, a family member, or God. I find comfort in knowing that if I ever feel lost, overwhelmed, or confused, I can open up my bible and find verses to help me through tough situations.

1. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go."

2. Philippians 2:3-4

"Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."

3. Isaiah 40:30-31

"Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."

4. 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."

5. Psalms 25:1-5

"O you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. O my God, in you I trust; let me not be put to shame; let not my enemies exult over me.Indeed, none who wait for you shall be put to shame;they shall be ashamed who are wantonly treacherous. Make me to know your ways, O Lord;teach me your paths.Lead me in your truth and teach me,for you are the God of my salvation;for you I wait all the day long."

6. Ephesians 2:10

"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

7. Philippians 4:13

"I can do all things through him who strengthens me."

8. Romans 8:28

"And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

9. John 16:33

"I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world."

10. 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."

11. Psalm 46:1-3

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging."

12. Psalm 16:8

"I have set the LORD always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken."

13. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your burden on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved."

14. 1 Peter 5:7

"Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

15. Psalm 120:1

"In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me."
