Life is always full of struggles and chaos. In times of struggle, I always tend to stress and become overwhelmed with the constant battles hitting me in all directions. I have to be reminded to set my eyes back on the one who controls all things. These verses help me achieve that

1. Matthew 19:26

"Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."

God is the only one who can help you overcome those "impossible" moments in life.

2. Psalms 23

"Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the all the days of my life."

This is one of the more commonly known passages of the Bible. Psalms 23 portrays how God is with his people at all time and guiding them in his direction. I love verse 6 because it shows how God's amazing love reaches you no matter how far you go or how bad life gets.

3. Philippians 4:7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

This has always been a lifetime struggle for me. I love to worry about everything, but it's definitely not a good thing. Stressing out about every bad thing in your life will only make you crazy. Instead, pray to God about everything, even the little things because he cares about it all.

4. James 1:2-3

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."

No one wants to go through pain and suffering, however when we do we know that the LORD will make us stronger in it. When trails come our way we can have hope that Jesus will never abandon us at any moment.

5. 2 Corinthians 4:18

"8 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal."

We have a great hope knowing that all the mess that we experience on this earth is temporary. When we fix our eyes on God the troubles of this world become very small next to the great things that are in store for us in eternity.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
