Chaos sometimes surrounds our personal lives as well as the lives of others around us. When we try to avoid our own issues, we soon realize that the whole world is in upheaval. Who can help us face our fears? Who can calm our spirit and give us rest? God our Heavenly Father through Christ Jesus is our only Savior.
Our Faithful Lord has given us His Word. Read God's age-old promises and know with assurance that He fulfills them.
For no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God. 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NIV)
For as you know him better, he will give you, through his great power, everything you need for living a truly good life: he even shares his own glory and his own goodness with us! And by that same mighty power he has given us all the other rich and wonderful blessings he promised; for instance, the promise to save us from the lust and rottenness all around us, and to give us his own character. 2 Peter 1:3-4 (TLB)

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 (NKJV)
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 10:12-13 (NKJV)
