But fear not, when you are in a pinch and overwhelmed, here are a couple of easily remembered bible verses to help you through.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control

Jeremiah 29:11

Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2 Corinthians 12:10

For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Sometimes life is rough and it feels like you can't win, but it's those times when you need to rely on God the most. So when your anxiety is taking over, or when LoudCloud is acting up at 11:52pm on a Sunday-remember to keep calm, because He's got your back.

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s).
