I was reading one of my Bible studies for today (God's Word Today), and this month's study is on the Holy Spirit.  It is talking about how in Genesis God creates the universe out of chaos.  It is the Spirit of God (the wind, or breath of God) that brings order and beauty out of the chaos. 

When we are going through those difficult struggles, we, at times, feel like our lives are in chaos, that our world is unhinged.  It says:  "In those moments, we should remember that God's Spirit is hovering over the chaos of our lives, sweeping like a strong wind through all those things we fear and cannot control.  There will always be challenges to face and crosses to bear.  But our world still stands on its foundations.  The Spirit, Who, at the dawn of creation brought order from chaos is near us, bringing light from the darkness and beauty from the waste."

For whatever chaos is in your lives right now, I pray for beauty and light in the midst of your struggle, and that the Holy Spirit will hold you close! :praying:
