Today I asked my friends, Misty and Kristen, each who are surrounded by a bundle of smaller people in their homes: What does it look like to find peace in stressful times? (Also, these two little ones are Misty’s grandchildren — aren’t they the cutest?)
What a season this has been. Some days are more naturally peaceful than others. I haven’t had many of those days lately!
Toward the beginning of this Ordeal, my attitude was pretty upbeat. It was sortof, “Let’s all chin up! Buck up! We’ve got this! This is fine!”
Then came about the tenth day, and my upbeat attitude was, well, beat.
All of us are challenged when we are in a situation where we cannot control the outcome, nor the input. As a mother, it feels very shaky under my feet somedays.
And yet, as Kristen and I discuss on today’s podcast, the truth is that our foundation is secure. We are both finding peace in reminding ourselves that it is impossible for us to be alone; Christ, who is Peace, is always with us. As we are reminded in Romans 8:38-39, we can never be alone, regardless of the situation … “I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” What a wonder!
This is not the first difficult situation any of us have faced, and it will, unfortunately, certainly not be the last. Settling our hearts on where we will draw our stability is imperative for ourselves as well as our children.
There is so much comfort to be found in Psalm 91:
He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!”
For it is He who delivers you from the snare of the trapper
And from the deadly pestilence.
He will cover you with His pinions,
And under His wings you may seek refuge;
His faithfulness is a shield and bulwark.
I hope you’ll enjoy our podcast today, as we discuss ways to find peace in the midst of stressful times!
