8 Verses For Those With Anxiety
Dr. Odd

I get it. Sometimes you walk around just living life, and then all of a sudden you feel like the breath has been sucked from your lungs and has no way of returning. You have those moments of sheer panic and chaos, and you feel like it is all your fault. You feel like you have no one to turn to, but that is definitely not true. The love of our God takes away all of that fear and disarray. Digging deep into the Word helps you to realize that you are never alone.

1."Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

You cannot do this life alone. Lean onto God and give Him all your worries.

2. "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." Philippians 4:6-7

Through prayer and request, God will give you peace of mind.

3. “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Matthew 11:28-30

Follow God and he will lighten the weight you carry on your shoulders.

4. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27

Do not worry for God will give you the peace you desperately long for.

5. "Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up." Proverbs 12:25

Let every word that comes out be that of a positive nature. Everything is so much easier with a smile.

6. "Even though I walk through the darkest valley,I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4

Do not fear the things happening in your life for the Lord will be there to protect you and comfort you.

7. "Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken." Psalm 55:22

Give Him all of your worries and He will help you to thrive.

8. "When I am afraid, I put my trust in you." Psalm 56:3

This is a favorite for me. Simply trust in the Lord when you find yourself face-to-face with fear.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
