20 Bible Verses To Remember In Any Situation

Karns Church of Christ

This time of the semester is especially crazy. This is the time when midterms are in full swing, and the stress level of students is high. The holidays are approaching, and many are either missing spending time with their families, or even perhaps being anxious about what being home again after being away at college will be like.

Whatever the crazy situation, the Bible always centers me. It always gives me strength. And these are the verses I call on and remember consistently.

1. "Don't be afraid. Just believe." Mark 5:36 (NIV)

2. “Don't be afraid, because I'm with you; don't be anxious, because I am your God. I keep on strengthening you; I'm truly helping you. I'm surely upholding you with my victorious right hand." Isaiah 41:10 (ISV)

3.“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.” John 14:27 (NIV)

4. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1 (ESV)

5. “Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.” 1 Peter 5:7 (NLT)

6. “I cried to the LORD in my distress, and He responded to me.” Psalm 120:1 (ISV)

7. “Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the LORD your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6 (ESV)

8. “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 (NIV)

9. “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” Psalm 27:1 (ESV)

10. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Romans 8:28 (NIV)

11. “God will fight the battle for you. And you? You keep your mouths shut!” Exodus 14:14 (The Message.)

12. “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” 2 Timothy 1:7. (KJV)

13. “The LORD is good, a refuge in times of trouble. He cares for those who trust in Him,” Nahum 1:7 (NIV)

14. “When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.” Psalm 56:3. (NIV)

15. “I can do all this through Him who gives me strength.” Philippians 4:13 (NIV)

16. “I prayed to the LORD, and He answered me. He freed me from all my fears.” Psalm 34:4 (NLT)

17. “When anxiety was great within me, Your consolation brought me joy.” Psalm 94:19 (NIV)

18. “The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemies before you, saying, 'Destroy them!'” Deuteronomy 33:27. (NIV)

19. “The LORD Himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged." Deuteronomy 31:8 (NIV)

20. “I know the LORD is always with me. I will not be shaken, for He is right beside me.” Psalm 16:8. (NLT)

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.
