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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
