8 Bible Verses For The Stressed Out College Student
Video Blocks

Take a minute, put that book down and go outside for a minute. Us college students deal with the stress of exams, studying, and homework, while juggling work, friends, and sleep. Opening a Bible might seem "lame" and you might get judged, but it will take some weight off your shoulders. It'll give you hope that this stress will go away one day.

1. Psalm 16:8 - "I have set the Lord continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."

This meaning, with the Lord by your side, nothing will break you. You can get through anything you set your mind to.

2. Exodus 33:14 - "And He said, 'My presence shall go with you, and I will give you rest.'"

With the Lord by your side, He will give you rest, and all the stress will go away in the future.

3. 2 Samuel 22:7 - "In my distress I called upon the Lord, Yes I cried to my God; And from His temple, He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears."

He understands you're in distress, and He is there for you to talk about your problems, stress and everything above. Just talking to Him will help.

4. Philippians 4:6-7 - "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

This means He hears your requests, and He is guarding your hearts and minds through it all. You are always heard.

5. Psalm 55:22 - "Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."

Tell your problems to the Lord and He will protect you. He will never let you break, and He knows how strong you are and what you can take.

6. Luke 21:19 - "Stand firm, and you will win life."

All this stress and worrying will turn out bright in the ending. Stay strong and you will have a better outcome.

7. Psalm 23:4 - "Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."

You have to walk through the dark in order to see the light. In order to do that, you must not be scared. You are never alone, even in the darkest times.

8. John 14:27 - "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."

All your troubles will pass, even if you think they won't. Life moves on, and it is much easier when you have God by your side every step of the way.

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
