10 Scriptures for Conquering Stress

Whether you're in your career or you're a college or high school student there's one thing you have in common with each
other-stress. Stress that can leave you in a bad mood at the end of the day or maybe for the rest of the week. Prayerfully, I've learned how to overcome stress as I'm now in my career. But in college it was very difficult. There were days of hidden tears and moments of just wanting to give up. I held to my bible in those days but not tight enough because in the back of my mind I had little faith in myself.

The following are verses I compiled for you if you're experiencing stress in your life as you're writing that 10 page paper for class, completely confused about complicated math problems, worries about your next meal, how the bill on your counter will get paid or how things at your job feel like its just too much for you right now.

I encourage you to go through your bibles, highlight these and meditate on them. Place one that really captures your attention in your car, on your desk-anywhere that you'll see on a daily basis to help you get through the day.
