As we grow up and navigate our way through adolescence and adulthood, we will be faced with obstacles in our life that we must overcome to fulfill our purpose.

Life is not always a breeze and we are often faced with a conflict that makes us want to give up. Even when we feel like we're alone, God is always with us. When we hit a rough patch in life, we need to remember to turn to God.

The Lord will help guide us through the darkness in our lives and shine the light on the path that's been chosen for us.

Here are ten Bible verses that I think will help people through their rough patches:

1. Nehemiah 8:10

"Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

2. Isaiah 12:2

"Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation."

3. II Timothy 1:7

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline."

4. II Thessalonians 3:16

"Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way."

5. Psalm 55:22

"Cast your burden upon the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never allow the righteous to be shaken."

6. Isaiah 40:29

"He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak."

7. I John 4:4

"You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world."

8. Matthew 5:4

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."

9. Deuteronomy 31: 6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

10. Proverbs 3:5-6

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
