How to Survive College

As my first semester winds down, I'm going back and looking through bible verses that I have leaned on while being way from of my friends and family. I hope these give you inspiration in your everyday life as they have in mine. 

Matthew 19:6
But Jesus looked at them and said "with man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.

Humble yourselves under God's mighty hand that he may lift you up in due time Cast your anxiety on him because he cares for you

And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Proverbs 3:5
Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding. 

Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.

Romans 5:3
We can rejoice, too, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance. 

Proverbs 24:14
Know that wisdom is like honey for you: If you find it, there is a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off. 

Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 

Romans 12:19
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 

Psalm 139:14
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 

Philippians 2:3
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourself. 

Romans 8:28
And we know that all things work together for good to those who are called according to His purpose. 

1Thessalonians 5:16-18

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give things; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.


Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. 

Micah 7:7
But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me. 

Proverbs. 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. 

While being away from my inner circle of loved ones, I have found myself constantly relying on the strength of my savior. I can honestly say I have grown closer to the Lord this semester. I cannot wait to continue my journey and work to spread the love of Jesus in all aspects of my life.
