15 Verses for the Stressed and Overwhelmed

It’s that dreaded time of the year yet again, FINALS. If you’re like me it’s completely stressing you out and making you overwhelmed. Between work, school, extra circulars, and sleep it seems impossible to fit in everything. So this article is for you, the struggling college student through finals or the busy adult that feels burnt out. 15 verses for when you’re feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

Isaiah 40:31

“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.”

Psalm 28:7

The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him.”

Philippians 4:8

“Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.”

Psalm 23:4

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Philippians 4:6-7

“ do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Psalm 121:1-2

“I lift my eyes to the hills, From where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”

1 Peter 5:7

“casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.”

Psalm 37:5

“Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act.”

2 Corinthians 12:9

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Matthew 6:34

Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.”

Joshua 1:5

“No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life. Just as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you or forsake you.”

Matthew 11:28

“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.”

Philippians 1:6

“And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.”

Proverbs 12:25

“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word make him glad.”

Remember, your grades do not define you. The amount of tasks you get done in a day do not define success. The Lord is here to help you, I hope and pray that you let him in the good times and bad. Go out and kick those finals butts! Knock the socks off your job! Live a great life and cast all your struggles on the Lord.

Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
