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.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
