College students live their lives riding the most insane emotional roller coasters ever. That is why it is so important to try and stay strong in our faith. A good friend of mine always reminds me when I am having a problem to "Get in the Word" and that's where I will find my solution.
Here is a handy-dandy list of some of my favorite bible verses that I like to read when I am going through hard times or maybe even when I am praising through good times.
Feeling Tired or Weak?

Feeling Worthless?
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex. Your workmanship is marvelous, how well I know it... How precious are your thoughts about me? O God They cannot be outnumbered! I can't even count them: they outnumber the grains of sand! And then I wake up, you are still with me! - Psalm 139: 13-14, 17-18

If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall. The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than you can stand. When you are tempted, he will show you a way out so that you can endure. - 1 Corinthians 10:12-13
Feeling Unmotivated?
Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life. - Proverbs 13:12
Feeling Judged?
People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart. Proverbs 21:2
The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? But I, the Lord, search all hearts and examine secret motives. I give all people their due rewards, according to what their actions deserve. - Jermiah 17:9-10
Feeling Stressed?
So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries. Today's trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34

Feeling Unloved?
And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow- not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below- indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39
Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. - 1 Corinthians 13:7

I would continue and describe my interpretation of each verse, but that's my challenge to you. Read these and see how it relates to your life because when you find that personal relation it will have an even larger impact in your life!
