Let go and Let God

“Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭

Let go and Let God
Natalie Schlagenhauf

I won't hesitate to tell you, but I struggle when it comes to my faith. I don't always look to God for answers and I don't always remember to pry. But when I'm down and it feels like the world is against me, the word of God can always brighten my day.

Here are some of the bible verses I look too when I'm feeling Unhappy.

1. Psalm 37:4

"Take delight in the LORD, and He will give you the desires of your heart"

2. Psalm 144:15

"Blessed is the people whose God is the LORD"

Sometimes life can be rough and you start feeling unloved. But always remember that no matter what God loves you.

3. Psalm 100:5

"for the LORD is Good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations"

4. 1 Peter 4:8

" Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins"

You are beautiful, inside and out, and that is something I struggle with on a daily basis.

5. Song of Solomon 4:7

“You are altogether beautiful, my darling; there is no flaw in you.”

6. Psalm 45:11

“Let the king be enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord.”

No matter what your situation is you can always find something in the bible to help you. If I'm struggling in school I take my phone out and read scripture to help ease my nerves and help me concentrate.

Look to God when you need help. No problem is too big and no problem is too small for our Almighty God.

Let go and Let God be the answer to all of your problems. Give him your all and surrender your life to Him.

He loves you unconditionally. The Same God that created mountains and oceans thought the world needed you too.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
