Finals week is almost here and the stress and anxiety levels are rising all around college campuses. It's the time of the year when caffeine becomes an addiction and students spend their days, nights and weekends studying their lives away at the library. For me, I can get pretty overwhelmed during finals week with all the different tests and projects that I have to do. I have to remind myself that everything happens for a reason and it will always work out in the end. So, here are some of my favorite verses of the bible to read when I get stressed with life or school.

1. Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
