30 Bible Verses Everyone Should Read
Shreadstruth

Life is hard. We go through struggles every single day. We are stressed. We are tired. We are depressed. We are in pain. We get betrayed by those we thought we loved. But the one person we can always trust, we can always love and count on, is Jesus. He is our strength when we are weak. He is our happiness when we are sad. He is the light in our darkness. He died for our sins and loves us over all else. Everything that happens in our lives happen for a reason because God has a plan for us. Our time here on Earth is short, but our time in Heaven is for eternity. We should trust in our God, for He is good and loves us. When you are feeling down, here are 30 bible verses that you can turn to, to be reminded of how great our God is:


1. James 1:2-4

Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.


2. Romans 12:2

Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing and perfect will.

10. Corinthians 12:9-10

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 about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


11. Psalm 46:1

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

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.
