It's an understatement to say that this past week has tested every once of faith Baylor Nation has. From our Title Nine coordinator, Patty Crawford's resignation to a cricket infestation to clown spotting to losing a member of the bear family it's been one heck of a week. Something that makes Baylor unique is it's open practice of faith throughout campus where students are encouraged to grow in their beliefs. In times like these I often tend to freak out and become anxious but I really need to turn to scripture and be reminded that God has a plan for us all.

For this past week's craziness here are some verses that return us back to what's truly important:

Psalm 56:3

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you"

Deuteronomy 31:6

"Be strong and courageous. Do not fear..for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you."

Isaiah 41:10

"Fear not, for I am with you. I am your God. I will strengthen you. I will help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."

Romans 12:2

"Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will."

Psalm 94:19

"When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy."

Philippians 4:6-7

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

1 Peter 4-8

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

1 John 4:18

"There is no fear in love but perfect love casts out fear"

Stay strong and safe Baylor Nation.
