Crisis: My daily routine was chaotic and out of control.
Pivot: I sought God’s guidance for creating balance and order.

1 Corinthians 14:40 says: “But everything should be done in a fitting and orderly way.”

Day 9: Finding Balance Through Faith
Opening Prayer: Heavenly Father, I come before You seeking Your wisdom and guidance. Life can often feel chaotic and unbalanced, but I trust in Your ability to bring order and peace. Help me to find balance through Your Word, to seek Your presence in every moment, and to lean on Your strength as I navigate the challenges of daily life. Thank You for Your grace and for the wisdom You provide. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Hello, I’m Miriam Smith Stevens. Establishing a consistent routine can be challenging, especially when life feels chaotic. But I found that incorporating God into my daily routine brought much-needed balance. After a traumatic event in my life, I had to rediscover normalcy and balance through God’s Word, journaling, and remaining in contact with close friends who provided wise, Bible-based counsel and prayer.
Imagine you’re navigating a stormy sea, feeling overwhelmed by waves of worry and uncertainty. You’re clinging to a lifeboat, hoping for calm waters. In this chaos, you hear a whisper: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He will guide you.” How would it feel to let go of the struggle and trust that there’s a steady hand guiding you to safer shores? What if you could release the weight of trying to control everything and simply trust that there’s a plan for you? As you embrace this trust, you begin to notice the storm calming and the path ahead becoming clearer. Reflect on this: How can you let go of your own understanding and trust more deeply in the guidance provided? In what ways can you find peace by following this promise, and how might it transform your journey from feeling lost to finding your way?
Imagine you’re standing on the edge of a vast, unpredictable storm, each gust of wind and flash of lightning reflecting your inner turmoil. The chaos of the unknown feels overwhelming, and you wonder how to find your footing amidst the turbulence. Then, you hear a reassuring voice: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He will make your paths straight.” How would it feel to anchor yourself in this promise, even when the future is unclear? What if you could find balance by focusing on this guidance rather than the swirling uncertainty around you?
Visualize each stormy wave as an opportunity to trust more deeply and find calm in the chaos. By letting go of the need to control every detail and trusting in a higher plan, you create space for peace amidst the storm. Reflect on this: How can you shift your focus from the unpredictable elements of your life to the steady promise of guidance? What steps can you take to center yourself in faith, even when faced with challenges? Embrace the thought that balance isn’t about eliminating chaos but about finding steady footing within it, guided by trust and reassurance.
In the midst of chaos and challenges, how can the C.P.R. + N.O.W. approach help you navigate to balance and find peace? Let’s explore how this powerful framework can guide you through the storm:
Crisis: When you’re facing a crisis, it often feels like you’re adrift in turbulent waters. The first step is to acknowledge the crisis—recognize the storm for what it is. By understanding the depth of the challenge, you set the stage for effective navigation.
Pivot: The next step is pivoting—turning to God for guidance and adjusting your focus from the storm to the promise of peace. How can you shift your perspective from being overwhelmed by the chaos to seeking a steady, guiding light? This shift in focus helps you find stability amid uncertainty.
Rebirth: Through the pivot, you begin to experience a rebirth—a renewal of hope and purpose. Embrace this transformation as a chance to rebuild and reorient yourself. How does embracing faith and trusting in a higher plan bring a fresh perspective and renewed strength?
New-Beginnings is Our Witness: Finally, see your journey through crisis and rebirth as a witness to new beginnings. By navigating through chaos with faith, you create a powerful testimony of how God’s guidance can lead to balance and peace. How can your experience of overcoming challenges and finding balance become an inspiration for others?
Reflect: As you apply C.P.R. + N.O.W., consider how each step helps you create stability and peace amidst life’s storms. What practical steps can you take today to implement this approach in your own life? How can focusing on these principles help you remain grounded and hopeful, even when faced with uncertainty?
By exploring and applying the C.P.R. + N.O.W. approach, you can find balance and peace through the chaos and challenges you face, transforming each crisis into an opportunity for growth and renewal.

Scripture: 1 John 2:15-16 (NIV) – “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.”

If you want to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, please pray this prayer:
Salvation Prayer:
“Dear Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner in need of your grace. I believe that you died on the cross for my sins and rose again to give me eternal life. I ask you to come into my heart and be my Lord and Savior. Help me to live a life that honors you. Thank you for your love, mercy, and forgiveness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Congratulations on making this life-changing decision! Here are some next steps to help you grow in your new faith:

Next Steps After Accepting Jesus: 📖
Read the Bible: Begin by reading the Scriptures to understand more about God’s promises and guidance. Start with the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) to learn about Jesus’ life and teachings.
John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

John 10:10 The Message Version
6-10 Jesus told this simple story, but they had no idea what he was talking about. So he tried again. “I’ll be explicit, then. I am the Gate for the sheep. All those others are up to no good—sheep rustlers, every one of them. But the sheep didn’t listen to them. I am the Gate. Anyone who goes through me will be cared for—will freely go in and out, and find pasture. A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

In this moment of uncertainty and need, I come before You with a heart full of trust and dependence. Your Word assures me that You are my Provider, my Protector, and my Guide. I declare Your promises over my life:
Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
Psalm 91: “He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say to the Lord, ‘My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’ For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with His pinions, and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness, nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.”
Jeremiah 29:11: “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Romans 8:28: “And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose.”
Philippians 4:13: “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.”
Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Philippians 3:13-14: “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Lord, I surrender my worries, fears, and uncertainties to You. You are my way-maker, and I trust that You will create a way where there seems to be no way. Help me to lean on Your promises, to walk in faith, and to experience Your provision in every area of my life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
