12 Bible Verses You Need Right Now
Eleanor Lee

1. John 15:18 "If the world hates you, keep in mind it hated me first." Just a reminder that if people are being particularly vindictive, this verse is here to tell you that it will be OK. God has your back and loves you even if it feels like no one else does. To go along with that one; Joshua 10:8 "Do not be afraid of them for I have given you victory over them."

2. Joel 2:13 "Return to the Lord your God, for He is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and filled with unfailing love." If you think your actions make you unworthy, I ask you to read this bible verse again.

3. Ezekiel 36:26 "I will give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in you." Sometimes recent events or just life in general has us feeling a down and this is a prompt to seek God in those times to lift our spirits.

4. Job 33:26 "God will receive him with joy and restore him to good standing" No matter what you do, there is nothing is too big for God's forgiveness.

5. Job 23:10 "When He tests me, I will come out as pure as gold." God is not punishing you but polishing you instead.

6. 2 Kings 20:5 "I have heard your prayer and seen your tears. I will heal you" Have faith, He sees you.

7. Ecclesiastes 3:1 "For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven." If you are not on the timeline you wish you were on, its OK. There will be time to accomplish what you are meant to accomplish.

8.Deuteronomy 28:6 "Wherever you go and whatever you do, you will be blessed". Blessings can be disguised, so always keep a look out.

9. Exodus 33:14 "I will give you rest, everything will be fine for you." The storm will be over soon and you will get a break.

10. Numbers 23:19 "Has He ever promised and not carried it through?" Have patience, He will come for you, He always does. Joshua 1:5 "I will not fail you or abandon you."

11. 2 Kings 6:16 "Do not be afraid ! There are more on our side than on theirs!" Sometimes people just aren't nice people, and that's OK. The good outnumber the evil, the evil is just more noticeable.

12. Exodus 23:20 " I am sending an angel before you to protect you on your journey and lead you safely to the place I have prepared for you." You always have an angel with you to help you to where you belong. Just like blessings, sometimes they are in disguise.

Open your heart and let these verses and your interpretation of them touch your heart and lift your spirit. 1 Samuel 12:16 "Now stand here and see the great things the Lord is about to do." We are so wrapped up in life that we forget to look around us to see God and all the wonderful things He is doing for us.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
