Finding Peace in Troubled Times

Posted on December 25, 2025

In times of uncertainty, many turn to scripture for comfort. One of the most reassuring passages is Romans 8:28, which reminds us that all things work together for good. Similarly, Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us not to be anxious about anything.

The Psalms are particularly rich in comfort. Psalm 23:1-4 speaks of the Lord as our shepherd, while Psalm 46:1 declares God as our refuge and strength. For those facing fear, Isaiah 41:10 offers powerful reassurance.

"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you." - 1 Peter 5:7

Jesus himself spoke words of peace. In John 14:27, he says "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you." And in Matthew 11:28-30, he invites all who are weary to come to him for rest.

The Power of Love

A reflection on 1 Corinthians 13

The famous "love chapter" - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 - describes love beautifully: "Love is patient, love is kind..." This passage is often read at weddings, but its wisdom applies to all relationships.

Jesus summarized the greatest commandments in Matthew 22:37-39: love God and love your neighbor. The apostle John echoes this in 1 John 4:7-8, declaring that "God is love."

For practical application, see Rom 12:9-21 and Colossians 3:12-14.
