7 Bible Verses For Stress And Anxiety
Jason Isaacs

During finals season, a lot of things tend to go wrong, while a bunch are going right. We become anxious and stressed and start to smell of library books. We probably live at Library West and spend way too much money on Chipotle. Our social life disappears for a week, but then we are so relieved when finals are over and we can head home for the summer (hopefully). If you are going through a tough time and need some pick me ups along the way, here are some Bible verses to get you through the day.

1. For when you need someone to believe in you:

Isaiah 26: 3-4 "Those of steadfast mind you keep in peace—because they trust in you. Trust in the Lord forever, for in the Lord God you have an everlasting rock."

2. For when you are struggling and need someone by your side:

Deuteronomy 31:8 "It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

3. For when you need someone to listen:

Psalm 34:17 "When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears, and rescues them from all their troubles."

4. For when you need to let go of your anxieties:

Philippians 4:6 "Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. "

5. For when you have fear:

Psalm 145: "18-19 The Lord is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them."

6. For when your anxiety is rampant:

1 Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."

7. For when you need a boost of confidence.

Psalm 27: 1-3 "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? When the wicked advance against me to devour me,it is my enemies and my foes who will stumble and fall.Though an army besiege me, my heart will not fear;though war break out against me,even then I will be confident."

Regardless of your faith or background, sometimes all we need is something greater than us to listen to us and help us let go of our stress and anxiety. Sometimes all we need is a verse or a quote to calm our minds and change our mindsets. Good luck to everyone this finals week!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
