12 Scriptures To Encourage And Guide You
Amber Bauerle

Sometimes everyone needs a little help and encouragement, and what better place to get those words than from the Word of God? None, in my opinion. Here are a few scriptures to remind yourself of and to speak and pray over yourself or anyone in your life.

1. 2 Timothy 1:7

This is my all-time favorite scripture. When I was little and scared of the dark my dad would tell me to speak this verse over myself, and even today when I feel afraid I repeat these words over to myself and feel encouraged.

2. Psalm 119:34

3. 1 Peter 3:3-4

4. Proverbs 15:1

This is a good one to remind yourself of when you're really feeling like telling that certain person off. I should probably remind myself of this scripture a little more.

5. Ephesians 4:29


6. Psalm 46:1

This is a really nice reminder that God is always present even when we don't feel Him.

7. Proverbs 11:16

8. Colossians 3:17

This is one of the most important, in my opinion.

9. Proverbs 16:9


This is a great reminder when we're wondering what our next step should be. God reminds us that it is alright for us to make a plan, but we must leave room for Him to guide us.

10. Romans 12:9-10


11. Psalm 91:14


12. Ephesians 4:2


There are countless scriptures in the Bible to help you through any situation. These are a few of my favorites. I hope you can be encouraged by them.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
