Biblical Answer

When chaos erupts, we must respond with courage and faith. This requires preparation, which includes understanding God's sovereignty over all creation and His desire to govern and sustain it. We must also recognize that God allows chaotic energy to exist within the structured cosmos, and that this chaos is bounded, restrained, and controlled by Him. This understanding gives us the mental composure to respond to chaotic situations with faith.

Faith is the supreme effort of our lives, throwing ourselves on God's character and trusting that He is holy love. We must accept the mystery of God's ways and not interpret chaotic situations as a sign of His disinterest or abandonment. Instead, we can derive comfort from the scripturally- based understanding that God is working all things together for our good, even in the midst of chaos. This faith enables us to respond with courage, trusting that God is guiding and directing us, even when we do not understand what He is doing.

In the face of chaos, we must also rely on the local church, where we can find support, guidance, and encouragement from fellow believers. We must be willing to submit to God's plans and purposes, even when they seem daunting or challenging. By living in a way that honors God, even in the midst of chaos, we demonstrate our trust in Him and our faith in His character. This trust and faith enable us to respond to chaos with courage, knowing that God is with us and guiding us through every situation.
