When peace like a river attended my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say

It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well (it is well)

With my soul (with my soul)

It is well, it is well with my soul (writers:  Horatio G. Spafford / Keith Getty / Philip Paul Bliss).

Peace is more than quietness or the absence of trouble.   It is a deep, inner calm that remains even when everything around you is shaking.   ‘You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.”

— Isaiah 26:3 (NIV)

Peace in chaos isn’t the absence of noise, it’s the presence of God in the middle of it.
When life spins out of control, when storms rage, when nothing seems steady; true peace anchors your soul, not your surroundings. 

Peace isn’t found by escaping the storm, but by trusting the One who speaks to it. Jesus said, “Peace, be still,” and even the winds obeyed Him (Mark 4:39). That same authority lives in you when your heart is fixed on Him.

When chaos comes:

• Pause and breathe. Remember Who holds your breath.
• Pray instead of panic. Prayer shifts your focus from fear to faith.
• Praise in the storm. Worship silences worry.

✨ Peace is not the end of the storm — it’s the calm within it.

Peace in chaos is finding a sense of calm, stillness, and inner balance despite external disorder, rather than waiting for the chaos to disappear. It is about accepting what cannot be controlled and developing resilience through practices like meditation, self-awareness, and pulling on your source of strength (Christ) which provides grounding to navigate life’s challenges with a steady heart. 

Key principles of finding peace in chaos 

• Inner stillness, not external quiet: True peace comes from training the mind to be calm and observant, not from a lack of external problems. It’s about pausing before reacting and seeing situations clearly, without letting emotions dictate your response. It requires you not leaning to your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
• Acceptance of what you can’t control: This involves the acknowledgment of the Word of God which supersedes what you see. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Trusting in the unwavering love of God provides an anchor for the soul. 
• Mindfulness and being present: Grounding yourself in the present moment through techniques like meditating on the Word of God.  May these words of my mouth and this meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer (Psalm 19:14). This calms your mind and reduce stress, even when external circumstances are chaotic. It also encourages one to be present in the situation. The process is a necessary part of growth and development. In the process is where we experience God for ourselves not what we heard but it becomes what we know (Job 42:5).
• Resilience and trust: Building resilience allows you to face life’s storms with patience and trust.  It is the quality of being able to adapt to stressful life challenges and bouncing back from hardships. You learn to navigate challenges step-by-step instead of panicking, which ultimately makes you feel stronger. You build one brick at a time. Psalm 28:7 says, The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song, I give thanks to him.
• Clarity and self-discovery: Embracing chaos can force you to clarify what is most important to you. Deuteronomy 4:29 – ‘But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.’ This process can lead to greater self-discovery and realization about your priorities in life. As one takes the journey of discovering who he/she is, seeking God becomes the main goal. It is only in Christ that we can discover who we are and what we are called for. The scripture says in Ephesians 2:10 that we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. 

As we navigate this journey of life, we must bear in mind that in the midst of chaos, we can experience God’s peace. John 14:27 tells us, ‘Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’ Peace can only be found in Christ Jesus. If you don’t know Him today, will you give Him a chance in your life? He will help you to discover who you are, teach you resilience and trust, helps you to be become mindful, self aware and present. He will help you to be still and know that He’s God. When you know Him, He will help you to understand that He’s Sovereign and that He will take care of you. It is only in Christ that one can experience the unshakable sense of hope and inner peace.

Great Grace.
