Who do you turn to when you feel overwhelmed?

Some schools only have a few weeks left until finals, this is the time when the projects and papers are due. We have pushed them off and now it is time to get them done. But now that you have waited to work on so many projects, it is a little more overwhelming than you imagined it would be. Add to that the stress of finals coming soon and anything else that might be happening in your life. Maybe you try to ease the stress with some ice cream or by procrastination. Either way, you probably only get temporary relief and then you feel the same chest crushing weight as before. What could you possible do to help ease this burden? I would suggest to you that their is someone that cares for you immensely and would love to be there with you to help you in your struggles. That someone is God. 1 Peter 5:7 says "cast all your anxiety on him, because he caress for you." God cares about you and everything you are dealing with right now. Here are some bible verses that show you who you can turn to when you are feeling overwhelmed.

Isaiah 61:2 "When my heart is overwhelmed lead me to the rock that is higher than I."

Psalm 18:30 "As for God, His way is perfect: the Lord's word is flawless; He shields all who take refuge in him."

Psalm 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God."

Exodus 11:11 "The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still"

Matthew 28:20 "I am with you always."

Galatians 1:15 "Before I was born, God chose me and called me by His marvelous grace."

Psalm 91:4 "He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge."

Remember that He will always be there for you!

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
