Most of us all struggle with anxiety sometimes. I know for me personally it was hard for me to face it, but I knew that the only way to get better was to face it head on. I consistently worry about money or my grades, so here are a few bible verses that have helped me

1. Philippians 4:6

"Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all He has done."

2. Philippians 4:7

"Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus."

This verse is a continual of #1. Once you stopped worrying and start praying then that's when it all starts you will experience peace from God that you can't fathom.

3. 1 Peter 5:7

"Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you."

Wow how awesome is that to know that no matter what you have someone who will ALWAYS care about you.

4. Matthew 6: 25-27

25 "That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn't life more than food, and your body more than clothing?"

26 "Look at the birds. They don't plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren't you far more valuable to him than they are?"

27 "Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?"

This is my all time favorite!!!! He tells us in scripture that we don't have to worry about we are going to eat, drink, or wear the next day. It has already been written we are taken care of! How awesome is that ? Lastly, I love how it asks can it add a single moment to your life? No it can't. Let's stop worrying about things, and start giving it to Him.

5. Psalms 94:19

"When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer."

Don't have doubt, His comfort will give you hope.

6. Joshua 1:9

"This is my command-be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go"

Why should you feel weak or be afraid ? He is with you everywhere you go.

7. Proverbs 12:25

"Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person."

Challenge yourself to say something encouraging to someone. If they are stress don't add to it by worrying them.

8. Ecclesiastes 11:10

"So refuse to worry, and keep your body healthy. But remember that youth, with a whole life before you, is meaningless."

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
