Jeremiah 15:20
“I will make you as strong as a wall to this people, as strong as a wall of bronze. They will fight against you but they will not defeat you for I am with you,” says the Lord, “I will rescue you and save you.”
In our high school career alone, we’ll experience countless battles. As we struggle for time between school, sports, jobs, and homework. Battles with friends, family, team mates, and co-workers. Inner battles when trying to make the righteous decision that will please God and maybe not our peers. We will struggle to remain above the influence and pressure of temptation around us. God will test us each and every day, and we will be defined by how we conquer and react to each one.
Proverbs 24:10
If you give up when trouble comes, it shows that you are weak.
And trouble will come. Stress and anger and dissatisfaction will be shoved in your face. You’ll stand toe-to-toe with all kinds of conflict. But with God on our side, what do we have to fear?

Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Christ our Savior who rescues me.
God has told us time and time again that he'll will never give us more than we can handle. So if you're in this ridiculously tough situation, it's because God knows that you are strong enough to push through it.
Proverbs 18:10
The Lord is like a strong tower; those who do right can run to him for safety.
However, it’s no free ride. There is a catch. “THOSE WHO DO RIGHT.” Those who worship selflessly and whole-heartedly. Those who humble themselves and sacrifice time and money to serve the Lord. You have nothing to be afraid of. Nothing and no one is greater than our God.
Proverbs 24:16
Even though good people may be bothered by trouble seven times, they are never defeated, but the wicked are overwhelmed by trouble.
The words are set in stone. It’s done, no questions asked. All we have to do is trust him. We don’t have to be tough and do it alone because our savior will not forsake us and we can always turn to him.
Proverbs 16:3
Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Just because you see someone doing wrong and getting away with it doesn’t mean that God doesn’t have it under control. We don’t need to try to take it into our own hands. Keep your eyes on the path God has set in front of you.
Proverbs 2:8
He makes sure justice is done, and he protects those who are loyal to him.
So just trust God. He’s almighty and more powerful than anything else. I’ll leave you with these last verses of reassurance.
Proverbs 4:12-13
“I am guiding you in the way of wisdom, and I am leading you on the right path. Nothing will hold you back; you will not be overwhelmed.”
