I've compiled a list of 10 verses I wanted to share with others who are struggling to know God better.

1. Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope."

This has always been one of my favorites. It reminds me to trust in God's plan and His perfect timing.

2. Romans 8:31 "What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?"

We need to remember that God is on our side.

3. Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

This is so important. I am a person who is big on forgiveness because God forgives us every single day. We should be able to forgive other imperfect humans.

4. Luke 6:31 "And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them."

Everyone knows the golden rule, but I think a lot of people take it too lightly. God is serious when he says to treat others as you want to be treated.

5. Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice."

Ah yes. Rejoicing. We must remember to thank God for all that he has done for us. Praise him for his gracious works.

6. Romans 12:12 "Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."

I like this verse because it is so truthful. If you do these things your life will get so much better.

7. Isaiah 41:10 "Fear not, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

I suffer from anxiety, so this is a good reminder that God is protecting me at all times. He gives us strength and the amour of his love to shield us.

8. Psalms 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."

Everyone experiences brokenness at different points in their lives. If we turn to God, healing will come.

9. Matthew 11:28 "Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, a I will give you rest."

Sometimes I get so overwhelmed with school that I just need to sit and rest in God. He will restore your energy and motivation.

10. 1 Chronicles 16:34 "Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever!"

The Lord is SO good. Take a look at your life and make a list of all the good things God has given you because He loves you. His love will never end.

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
