Life can be chaos. With work, school, family, friends, romantic partners, and trying to just take care of yourself, things can get very overwhelming very fast. It is during these times that we must center our hearts and minds on Christ. Although it may seem extremely difficult right now to make time and space, He is the only thing that can bring true peace and comfort in the storms of your life.
Jesus reminds us all the time in the scriptures of his great love, promises and gifts to us even in our turmoil and stress. All we have to do now is simply read them and believe them in our hearts. Here are 11 great scriptures that can bring us peace and calm our hearts and minds when we need it the most.
11 Scriptures to Calm Your Heart
1. “Cast your burden on the Lord, And He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalms 55:22 NKJV
2. “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’” Isaiah 41:10 NKJV
3.“No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.” 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV
4. “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6-7 NKJV
5.“Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”” Matthew 11:28-30 NKJV
6. “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:35-39 NKJV
7.“Why do you say, O Jacob, And speak, O Israel: “My way is hidden from the Lord, And my just claim is passed over by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:27-31 NKJV
8. “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.”” Deuteronomy 31:6 NKJV
9.“Trust in Him at all times, you people; Pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us. Selah” Psalms 62:8 NKJV
10. “You will not need to fight in this battle. Position yourselves, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord, who is with you, O Judah and Jerusalem!’ Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them, for the Lord is with you.”” II Chronicles 20:17 NKJV
11.“You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.” Isaiah 26:3 NKJV
In summary, reading God’s word is a great way to bring peace and comfort to our lives. By praying and seeking his face, we invite his presence into our lives. Even if for a few moments that we sneak away during our day, we can find that it creates a clearer mind. A key thing to do as you read these scriptures is to read the full chapter it’s from. You can then understand the full context around the scriptures and truly receive the blessing.
All in all, Jesus won’t leave you in your pain and suffering. Jesus won’t abandon you here in the chaos of it all. Find rest in Him and know that only He can truly calm your heart.
