The world can seem chaotic right now, but that should come as no surprise. Scripture tells us that troubling times are part of life on earth, and Jesus promises to be with us no matter what happens.

In today's episode of MercyTalk, Erin and Melody discuss some of the reasons it's easy to feel off balance right now, historical events that illustrate challenges we've made it through in the past, and practical ways we can pursue peace even in chaotic times.

Scriptures referenced in today's episode include:

• Psalm 34:14: "Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it…"
• John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.”
• Romans 12:18: "If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone…”
• Isaiah 26:3: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.”
