Peace in the Storm: What Christians Should Do in Times of Fear, Uncertainty, and Conflict

May 2, 2025 5 2 5

In a world that often feels shaken by war, disaster, and personal struggles, fear and uncertainty can creep into our hearts. But as followers of Christ, we are not left without a firm foundation. When chaos surrounds us, Jesus offers a peace that the world cannot give (John 14:27).

1. Run to God in Prayer

Fear loses its grip when we come before the throne of grace. Philippians 4:6–7 tells us to bring everything to God in prayer, and in return, His peace will guard our hearts and minds.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.” – Philippians 4:6

2. Hold on to the Word of God

God’s promises are our lifeline. Psalm 91 reminds us that we dwell under the shadow of the Almighty, and no evil shall befall us. Speak these promises aloud. Let them shape your perspective.

“He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” – Psalm 91:2

3. Remember Who Fights for You

The battle is not yours—it is the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15). Even when we feel outnumbered or overwhelmed, God is our defender, and the blood of Jesus has already secured our victory.

4. Worship Through the Fear

Worship brings breakthrough. When we lift our eyes to Jesus, fear fades and faith rises. Let music usher in the presence of God and remind your soul of His faithfulness.
