3 Bible Verses to Help You Stay Calm When the Day Feels Chaotic

Some days feel like they come at you fast. The baby’s crying, your toddler is melting down over the wrong cup, the homeschool lesson just completely derailed–and your husband’s working long hours or out of town. You’re juggling motherhood, work, homeschooling, and maybe even babysitting someone else’s baby (hey, I see you).

In the middle of it all, you’e trying to hold on to your peace and not lose your mind by 9am.

I’ve been there too.
And when I can’t find quiet, I’ve learned to bring Scripture into the chaos.
Here are 3 calming Bible verses that help me breathe, reset, and remember what matters–even in the messy moments.

1. Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” (NIV)

This verse reminds me that peace doesn’t come from controlling everything (though I try). It comes from fixing my mind on Jesus, even when everything around me feels loud and overwhelming.

2. Philippians 4:6-7

“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.” (NIV)

This one is my go-to when anxiety creeps in. It reminds me to pause, pray, and hand it all over to God–even if I have to do that ten times a day.

3. Psalm 94:19

“When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought me joy.” (NIV)

This one hits home on the hard days. God doesn’t just offer calm–He brings comfort, joy, and hope. I love knowing that He sees me and meets me in the middle of my overwhelm.

I made a simple one-page printable that you can keep on your fridge, in your Bible, or in that one drawer where you hide chocolate and sanity.

I personally like to just download it to my phone and make a widget out of it or make it a background. It’s my little reminder to breathe, pray, and keep my eyes on Him.
