soul journey 
Life can often feel overwhelming. Between endless responsibilities, unexpected challenges, and the noise of the world around us, it can be hard to feel God’s presence. When stress, uncertainty, or struggles take over, we may wonder, “Where is God in all of this?” But the truth is, God is always near—working, guiding, and walking with us, even when we don’t see or feel Him. Psalm 46:1 reminds us, “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” He is not just with us in moments of peace, but right there in the middle of the chaos.
Rather than looking for God only in the big, miraculous moments, we can learn to see Him in the small, everyday details of our lives. He speaks through His Word, comforts us in prayer, and reveals His presence in the kindness of others, in nature, and in quiet moments of reflection. The key is not to wait until life is perfect to seek Him, but to invite Him into every struggle, every decision, and every ordinary moment. Below are steps to help you find God even in the busiest, most difficult times and deepen your relationship with Him.
Steps to Finding God in the Chaos and Struggles of Life
1. Start Your Day with God, Even in Small Ways
Before the noise of the world takes over, set aside time for God, even if it’s just a few moments. Read a short scripture, say a simple prayer, or express gratitude. Matthew 6:33 reminds us, “But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” When we prioritize God, everything else begins to fall into place.
2. Turn Your Worries into Prayers
Instead of letting stress consume you, use it as a reminder to pray. When anxiety rises, pause and say, “Lord, I give this to You.” Philippians 4:6-7 says, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Prayer shifts our focus from fear to faith.
3. Find God in the Small, Everyday Moments
God is not just in church services or dramatic miracles—He is in the sunrise, a child’s laughter, the kindness of a stranger, and the quiet moments of peace. Psalm 19:1 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.” Train your heart to recognize His presence in the simple things.
4. Read and Meditate on God’s Word
When life is chaotic, scripture is a source of clarity and strength. Even if you read just one verse a day, let God’s Word guide and encourage you. Psalm 119:105 says, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.” His Word reminds us that we are never alone, no matter how difficult things may seem.
5. Stay Connected with Other Believers
Surround yourself with people who encourage your faith. Whether through church, Bible study, or faith-filled friendships, God often speaks through the support and wisdom of others. Hebrews 10:24-25 says, “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another.”
6. Trust God’s Plan, Even When You Don’t Understand
Life’s struggles can make us feel lost, but God sees the bigger picture. Trust that He is working things out for your good, even when the path isn’t clear. Romans 8:28 reminds us, “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.” Even in pain, God is shaping something beautiful.
7. Rest in God’s Presence, Even in the Chaos
Sometimes, we just need to pause and be still before God. When the world feels heavy, take a deep breath and sit in His presence. Exodus 14:14 says, “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” In stillness, we find His peace and strength.
Conclusion: God is With You, Always
No matter how chaotic life feels, God is always near. He is not distant or silent; He is right beside you, offering strength, peace, and guidance. The key is to invite Him into your daily struggles—to talk to Him, listen for His voice, and trust His plan. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
You don’t have to wait for perfect circumstances to find God—He is here, in this moment, walking with you through every joy and every challenge. Keep seeking Him, and you will find that He has been with you all along.
