Bible Verses For Teens Overwhelmed By College Decisions

If deciding what to order on a menu seems daunting, then deciding on a college seems even more terrifying. And while choosing a college does come easily for a select few, the majority of us struggle with finding peace in our decisions. We second guess our choices, worry about scholarships, and fear impending deadlines. When surrounded by the chaos of college, it is easy to become overwhelmed and lost. However, we must remember that we do not make this decision alone, because God wants to guide us through the process and towards our future. We simply must look to Him and He will give us the answers we seek.

"Show me the right path, O Lord; point out the road for me to follow." Psalms 25:4

"If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and He will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking." James 1:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take." Proverbs 3:5-6

"And we are confident that he hears us whenever we ask for anything that pleases him. And since we know he hears us when we make our requests, we also know that he will give us what we ask for." 1 James 5:1-15

"Do not be anxious about anything but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, stands guard over your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." 1 Peter 5:7

“I am leaving you with a gift- peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don't be troubled or afraid.” John 15:27

"Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you." Psalm 9:10

"And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them." Romans 8:28

"Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today." Matthew 6:33-34

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you his peace at all times and in every situation. The Lord be with you all." 2 Thessalonians 3:16

"'For I know the plans I have for you,' says the Lord. 'They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.'" Jeremiah 29:11

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
