Four Bible Verses When Life Gets Tough
Caitlynn Ledet

When life is at its worst and everything seems to be in shambles, remember God’s got you. Through high tides and low tides, God is there by your side. Life will never be perfect, but its worth it. Always remember to pray during good times and bad because everything could be fine one day, and taken away the next.

1. “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” – Proverbs 3:5-6

Life can be hard at times, but God knows what is best for us. He has a purpose and a reason for all things in our lives, so we have to lean on Him for everything. You may not understand why God is putting this challenge in front of you, but He wouldn’t put you through it if he didn’t know you could handle it.

2. “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer.” – Matthew 21:22

Whether you are praying for guidance, healing, or peace, God knows best. Our prayers may not be answered right away, but we have to learn patience for his timing because it is always perfect. Sometimes, we get exactly what we prayed for, and other times, they are far off, but they are always for the best.

3. “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” - Romans 8:18

When in the present of a struggle, we think and feel as there is no hope. This is not true; we have God by our side through everything. He is our light and hope during the times of suffering and pain. God with lead us to all the right things.

4. “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I Am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” - Isaiah 41:10

Going through life can be hard and challenging but God’s got you. Stay calm through all situations. An entire ocean can’t sink a ship unless it allows the water inside. This is the same with life, we can let our struggles sink us or keep pushing through“Indeed, we felt we had received the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead.”

In life we will encounter struggles and hardships that feel like death, but we have to remind ourselves of the love God has for us. At some point in our lives, we will hit rock bottom, and this will feel like a problem that can’t be solved, but it can. Hitting rock bottom can be a blessing in disguise, so always have faith in our God and what he has planned for our lives.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
