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.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
