Most people are aware of how destructive a powerful storm can be when it disrupts a sense of well-being. What also amazes us is how calm we can feel when, in faith, we trust that the Holy Spirit is present to guide us through the storm.
Keeping calm in the presence of a relationship storm demonstrates assurance God will be available to resolve troubling issues.
Being calm is important for keeping anger and fear at bay so each person’s needs will be expressed and adequately communicated.
Refusing to participate in hostile accusations aids in remaining calm. What can become a positive defining moment in an emotional storm is remembering God’s words from Proverbs 17:27: “A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered.” Knowledge and understanding are key to remaining calm in the chaos of a storm. So let the peace of Christ in this Holy season rule within you.

Stay
away from stupid and senseless arguments. These only lead to trouble, and God’s
servants must not be troublemakers. They must be kind to everyone, and they
must be good teachers and very patient.
