No power in the sky above or in the earth below-indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord." ( Romans 8:35-39 NLT) Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. "Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing." ( James 1:2-4 NKJV) "Count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. "You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you." ( Isaiah 26:3 NIV) And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." ( Philippians 4:6-7 NIV) "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. When you need to be reminded of how you can have the peace of God despite life's chaos, reflect on the scriptures below, and remember that you absolutely can experience peace through your hardest times: 12 Scriptures for Peace in Chaos Throughout the scriptures, we are given several examples of how God is a stronghold and comfort through the hardest of times. He cares about you, and he cares about what you’re going through. I often remind myself that what I’m going through is probably nothing compared to what someone else is dealing with but, even so, there is no problem too small for God.
In a weird way, I find comfort in knowing that others are also struggling. In the middle of our struggles, it’s easy to forget that we are not alone. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” ( John 16:33 NIV) “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. But God promises us that he will be with us through the stormy nights, he will see us through our darkest hours, and he will give us a peace that we can’t even understand. Because of sin, the world is a chaotic place. One thing is certain, we will go through hard times. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart.” - Author Unknown
It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Whatever you are going through, I’m here to tell you, there is a God who loves you and desires for you to experience His peace.
What burdens are you carrying right now? Is it a relationship that you’re doing your best to hold together? Are you or someone you’re close to dealing with health problems? Or maybe it’s your job - you don’t know if you want to keep doing the same thing, day in and day out, pleasing your boss, living up to unrealistic expectations. If I’m going through it, I know you are, too. On top of our busy schedules, we also juggle health issues, financial stress, and many unexpected and unplanned situations. Just when I think things are finally slowing down, I enter yet another season of chaos. In my own day-to-day life, I’m so tired and worn out.
