When you're feeling overwhelmed — with stress, fear, anxiety or with joy, happiness, or love:

"When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to The Rock that is higher than I" via Psalm 61:2.


When you need reminder of how much you need Christ to fix your heart and restore your spirit:

"God, create a clean heart in me and renew a steadfast spirit within me" via Psalm 51:10. (Side note: the entire passage of Psalm 51 is something you need to read.)


When you need to realize that all of your goals, achievements, awards, results, influence, grades, love, and mercy are a result from God:

"I no longer live but Christ lives in me" via Galatians 2:20.


When you forget how precious you are in the eyes of Christ:

"You know all about it, Lord. You have encircled me; You have placed Your hand on me. This extraordinary knowledge is beyond me. . . For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will praise You because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made" via Psalm 139: 5-6, 14. (Another side note, this whole passage is so full of truth that so many people need to hear.)


When you think Christ does not understand your emotions:

"Jesus wept" via John 11:35. (The shortest English verse in the Bible shows us just how much Jesus really does understand.)


When Satan is trying to fill your days, your nights, and your thoughts with fear:

"Greater is He that is in me than he who is in the world" via 1 John 4:4.


When being obedient does not come so easy:

"He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death- even death on a cross" via Philippians 2:8. (Also, remember that this death is one that He did nothing to deserve. He took it upon Himself to take our place: our place on that cross was taken over by His body and His blood so we could live a free life abiding in Christ. Also, I apologize for all of the side notes.)


When you need to simply rest in Christ's love:

"No, in all these things we are more than victorious through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rules, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord" via Romans 8:37b-39.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
