Be Not Afraid

College contains stress, uncertainty and fears. Sometimes, we don't really know where to turn or how to handle it. Many of the answers that we are looking for are found in scripture. All we have to do is look, and we're sure to find something inspiring and great.

1. "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." -Deuteronomy 31:6

The phrase "do not be afraid" is used the most in the Bible, there is a good reason. We should find comfort and hope in the Lord.

2. "The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to Him." - Psalm 28: 7-8

Many times we forget to remember the little things and thank God. Sometimes, that's all it takes to put our problems in perspective.

3. "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge." - Psalm 18:2

We just need a reminder sometimes that we always have a strong foundation.

4. "Rise up; this matter is in your hands. Take courage and do it." -Ezra 10:4

Our life is our control. We can have courage if we put our faith in God.

5. "Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and your plans will succeed." -Proverbs 16:3

Put our plans in the Lord's hands, and no matter what, it will all turn out okay.

6. "The Lord is my light and my salvation-whom shall I fear?" - Psalm 27:1

Anything is possible if we trust in Him.

7. "Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day." - 2Corinthians 4:16

There are many influences around us that make us doubt ourselves. All that matters is what's on the inside; that's all God sees.

8. "Truly, truly I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life." -John 6:47

There is something so much more than our worries on this world.

9. "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love Him." - Romans 8:28

We have to trust in God's plan. Everything will work out in the end.

10. "If God is for us, who can be against us?" - Romans 8:31

All we need is to turn to God's love.

11. "Always let Him lead you, and he will clear the road for you to follow."- Proverbs 3:5-6

God protects us from evil, He will make our path straight.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
