Peace in Chaos for Families: 3 Days to Resilient Faith

DAY 3 OF 3

Are you facing difficult decisions about your child's future, health, or wellbeing?

Maybe you're navigating serious challenges—learning differences, family changes, financial stress, or behavioral issues that feel overwhelming.

When you're facing real challenges with your kids, it can feel like you're drowning in questions with no clear answers. These aren't small decisions—they matter deeply. And it's precisely in these weighty moments that God wants to be your anchor.

Uncertainty doesn't mean you've lost your way. It means you're being invited to trust your Guide.

I don't like uncertainty, especially with my kids. I'd rather understand everything clearly so I can make perfect decisions. (Ha!)

That's not the life God calls us to.

God doesn't invite you to figure everything out; He invites you to trust Him when you don't know what to do.

GOD'S 3-STEP PATHWAY THROUGH UNCERTAINTY

Proverbs reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts rather than leaning on our own understanding. When we acknowledge Him, He directs our paths.

This isn’t just poetic wisdom—it’s a practical guide for facing uncertainty.

  1. RELEASE control to God instead of relying only on your own understanding
  2. RECOGNIZE God and get to know Him better through everything you're facing
  3. RECEIVE direction as He leads you

THE GREATEST DANGERS IN UNCERTAINTY

Uncertainty can trick you into fixating on what you don't know instead of remembering what you do know about God's character and love.

When that happens, you risk:

  • Losing sight of the promises God has already given you
  • Limiting yourself to decisions based only on your experience or in comparison to others
  • Missing the direction and peace God offers

YOUR ANCHOR IN THE STORM

Whatever uncertainty your family faces, God hasn't left you to figure it out alone. Hold onto truth about:

  • Who God is and what He's like
  • Who you are and how God cares for you
  • The promises, direction, and hope He's already given you

These truths remain steady, even when everything else feels uncertain.

YOUR 2-MINUTE ANCHORING EXERCISE

Write: "What I know to be true about God and my family, even in uncertainty" Add at least 3 truths. Keep this list visible. When uncertainty rises, read these truths as reminders of what remains solid.

Remember: Your questions don't surprise God. He knows exactly how to see you through.

Kid Connection: Ask This

"Sometimes both kids and grown-ups face really big, important things that feel scary. Have you ever felt worried about something? What did you do? Let's talk about how we can tell God when we're worried and ask Him to help us."
