Peace In The Midst Of Change
Have you ever had life turn on a dime? Things were going good, not perfect, but very doable. And then something happened to turn just about everything upside down. That's happened to a lot of people; it has happened to me. Well here are some Biblical insights that I hope will help in the healing and restoration process.
Peace in the Midst of Change
Scripture
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." — Hebrews 13:8
Reflection
Life can shift in an instant. A job loss, a health diagnosis, a move, or unexpected news can leave us feeling shaken and desperate to return to “normal.” Stress rises when the ground beneath us feels unstable. Yet Scripture reminds us that while circumstances change, God does not change.
Hebrews 13:8 anchors us in this truth: Jesus is constant. His love, His promises, and His presence remain steady even when everything else feels uncertain. When the storm rages, He is the calm. When routines collapse, He is the Rock.
Think of the disciples in the boat during the storm (Mark 4:35–41). Waves crashed, fear consumed them, and yet Jesus was present. With a word, He brought peace. In the same way, He speaks peace into our chaos today.
Encouragement
God is your stability: Even if life feels upside down, His character never shifts.
You don’t have to fix everything at once: God invites you to rest in Him while He works.
Peace is possible now: Not when things return to “normal,” but right here in the middle of change.
Prayer
Lord, You know the stress and fear that sudden changes bring. Thank You that You never change, even when everything else does. Help me to trust You as my anchor. Speak peace into my heart and guide me step by step. Remind me that You are faithful yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.
Practical Step
Take five minutes today to pause and breathe deeply. As you inhale, whisper: “God is with me.” As you exhale, whisper: “I will trust Him.” Repeat until your heart begins to rest in His unchanging presence.
