5 Scriptures College Students Can Apply To Any Dilemma

It's finally here! The closing weeks of fall semester. Cram in the papers, the tests and of course the assignments that were due months ago. Don't worry though, while you're trying to finish the semester strong, raise that GPA, and make sure your social, academic and spiritual life doesn't fall short, I got your back.

So, here are a few scriptures to remember during those chaotic moments.

1. Jeremiah 29:11

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." NIV

So next time you're crying about being a fifth year senior and yet you have no idea where life is going, don't worry because with Jesus on your side, it's going to be good!

2. Ephesians 3:20

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us." NIV


He knows we struggle. Whether you need five cents, five dollars, or five thousand dollars, a hot meal or just the strength to get through, He's got it for you. Never be afraid to press forward and ask for "above and beyond," but never forget to first be thankful for what you already have! That's just as important as what you're in need of.

3. Luke 22:32

"But I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail." NIV

When you feel really down in the dumps, just remember Jesus is literally rooting for you and cheering you on 24/7. CAN'T STOP WON'T STOP.

4. Joshua 1:9

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." NIV

Well, even if you don't wanna go to school, class, work, or vocal juries (AM I RIGHT?!) IT'S OK because Jesus is right there with you!

5. John 3:16

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." KJV

If none of these scriptures do it for you, just remember that God loves you so much. Through your mental breakdowns, your empty pockets and empty bank account, your "irrational" emotions and emotional episodes, HE LOVES YOU. FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER!

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
