15 Bible Verses For Anyone Carrying A Burden That Seems Too Big
Megan Coltharp

In your twenties, most of life is completely unexpected. What will you eat for dinner? How long can you survive on $0.30? When's the next time you'll get to sleep?

Let's just admit it -- college is hard and we are all just trying to do the best we can.

Every now and then, it seems like God has decided to give us a full load. He never gives us more than we can bear, but Lord it sure seems like it is unbearable sometimes.

Here are fifteen bible verses for anyone who feels like the burden is too great right now:

1. For nothing will be impossible with God. - Luke 1:37

2. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. - Phillippians 4:13
3. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. - Proverbs 3:5
4. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. - Philippians 4:6
5. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose. - Romans 8:28
6. But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in Him. - Jeremiah 17:7
7. When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. - Psalm 56:3
8. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in Him and He will do this. - Psalm 37:59.
9. In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. - Psalm 25:11
10. What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us? - Romans 8:31
11. Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. - 1 Peter 5:7
12. Can anyone of you by worrying add a single hour to your life? - Matthew 6:27
13. Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. - Proverbs 12:25
14. I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. - Psalm 34:4
15. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. - Isaiah 40:29


No matter what burden in your life seems too big to carry, put your trust in God. No matter what is happening, "When you go through deep waters, He will be with you" (Isaiah 43:2).

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.
