9 Bible Verses To Get You Through Finals Week
French Press Mornings

Finals week is easily the most stressful week of the semester. You're bombarded with exams, projects, and presentations, and not only are you supposed to come out alive, but with good grades, too. It's easy to let everything overwhelm you and to become anxious and discouraged. However, this does not need to be the case. God is there to comfort you and to provide you with wisdom, guidance, and strength. I know that it's easy to forget this when you get caught up in the mad-dash to the end of the semester, so one thing I like to do is to set bible verses as the lock screen on my phone. This reminds me every time I look at my phone (which I'll admit is probably a little too often) that I have God on my side. Here are nine bible-verse-backgrounds that you can use to help you get through finals week. (Just click on the photo and it will lead you to a downloadable lock screen).

Don't forget the power of prayer. I know it may seem like your prayer for motivation, focus, and success on an exam is insignificant when compared to the prayers of some other people, but it is not. God cares for you and loves you deeply, and He wants you to come to Him for help.

This verse reminds us that not only will God give us strength to get through finals, but He will also give us joy and promise.

Like I mentioned earlier, believe in the power of prayer. Even if all your prayers don't get answered right away, God will ease your anxiousness and reassure you.

The biggest fear of finals week is that you'll fail. This verse reminds us, though, that God won't let you. Sure, it's possible that you might not get the grade that you were hoping for, but you have the knowledge that you are not going to fall on your face.

It's hard to be optimistic when you're stressed, but we should remember that there are so many reasons to be joyous and thankful.

Even when things see hopeless and impossible, they are not. God not only makes everything a possibility, but also gives you strength to make possibilities a reality.

Don't let the enemy control your thoughts and emotions. Instead, allow God to comfort you, reassure you, and give you peace.

One problem that I have is that I let myself believe that my grades define me. This verse reminds me that getting a B doesn't make me any less worthy because God has made me wonderful.

Remember that every second of every day of finals week, God is with you. He's there for you to tell your fears to, to pray to, and to comfort you.

Make finals week better this semester. Instead of letting anxiousness and fear take control, let God take control. Check out frenchpressmornings.com for more inspiration!

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
