Reflection: Finding Peace In Chaos (When Things Do Not Go As Planned)
Life comes with its ups and downs, happy and prosperous seasons, seasons of grief, chaos and hopelessness.
It is in seasons when things do not go as planned that we sometimes begin to panic, lose hope, peace is found wanting, disorganisation becomes the order of our days and depression lies side by side in bed with us.
A question arises at this point, should Godly Christian Christian women live in a state of hopelessness when life gets chaotic?
The answer: No!
Then why do we panic when life gets chaotic? Why do we lose our peace when things do not go as planned?
The answer: because we forget! We do so because we forget the word of God to us in seasons as such.
Why do we forget? We forget because we shift our focus from God to the situation. When our mind is not “stayed” on God we forget how great and faithful a Father He is, the situation which now becomes our focus becomes magnified causing us to get more terrified, lose peace, panic and fall into depression.
Here are scriptures (The King James 2000 Version) to help every Godly Christian woman find peace in chaos:
🔥 John 14: 27: Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world gives, give I into you: Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
🔥 Philippians 4: 6-7: Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known into God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
🔥 Isaiah 26: 3: You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you: because he trusts in you.
🔥 Proverbs 3: 5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart; and lean not unto your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct your paths.
🔥 Romans 8: 28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are called according to his purpose.
🔥 John 16: 33: These things I have spoken into you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulations but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
🔥 Psalm 46: 1-3, 10: God is our refuge and strength, a very pleasant help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.
🔥 James 1: 2-4: My brethren count it all joy when you fall into various temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith works patience. But let patience have her perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking nothing.
🔥 John 16: 33: These things I have spoken into you, that in me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulations: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
🔥 Romans 8: 35-39: Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulations, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness or peril, or sword? As it is written, for your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loves us. for I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creation, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
🔥 Isaiah 54:10: For the mountain shall depart, and the hills be removed; but my kindness shall not depart from you, neither shall the covenant of my peace be removed says the Lord that has mercy on you.
🔥 Isaiah 40: 28-31: Have you not known? have you not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, faints not neither is weary? There is no searching of his understanding. He gives power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint; and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles ; they shall run, and not be weary: and they shall work and not faint.
🔥 Romans 15: 13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
🔥 Genesis 50: 20: But as for you, you though evil against me; but God meant it into good, to bring to pass as it is this day, to save many people alive.
🔥Isaiah 38: 17: Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for you have cast all my sins behind your back.
🔥Jeremiah 29: 11: For I know the thoughts that I think about you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.
Let these scriptures be as arrows in your hands to weary the Devil. Let them help you find peace when life gets chaotic. Let them help you find peace when things do not go as planned. Let them heal your heart and help you move forward in life with grit and might, knowing that God loves you.
