No matter your age, major, clubs, internships, relationship status, or financial situation, everyone worries about the future. God tells us not to worry. to trust in him.

1. Isaiah 43:2 "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; when you walk through the fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you."

God is always with us. He is taking every step with us and holding our hands. He embraces us with his presence and protects us from the dangerous obstacles in this world. No matter what we step our feet in, we shall not fear.

2. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

Jesus Christ gives us peace every day. We should carry this peace with us to calm our nerves, restrain our anger, and prevent anxiety. This peace allows us to focus on ourselves and our relationship with God, not the abyss of oblivion.

3. Psalm 23:4 "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

Despite the highs and lows of life, God is there, and he is bigger and better. He will guide you.

4. Psalm 94:19 "When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul."

When we are worried or anxious, we should turn to God. When we turn to him, he calms our anxieties and relieves our concerns.

5. Psalm 118:6 "The LORD is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me?"

Your math test is not your ticket to heaven. Your yearly salary will not buy your way to heaven. Man can try to belittle you or hurt you, but with Christ within you, you never truly fail.

6. Matthew 6:34 " Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble."

Tomorrow is never promised. But tomorrow will be God's gift, God's will, and a part of God's plan for your life. Tomorrow you will be successful, tomorrow you will be whole in Christ.

7. 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."

Did you hear that? God CARES for you. You are a grain of sand compared to all the people he has created. But what is amazing is that God CARES for you. He loves you and wants you to prosper in his name in this life.

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.

It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
