The righteous can be at peace even during times of great unrest and turmoil.

He who is righteous catches the eye of God and finds favour with Him. And God will protect him and his family during times of turmoil and unrest. However, there are martyrs who give of their lives refusing to yield to darkness. Nevertheless, God promises to keep the righteous safe so that they may accomplish His will in life or in death. Therefore, as the Lord is the refuge of the righteous, they can be at peace no matter what the circumstances may be. The Psalmist says,

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
And trust in the Lord…
In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.. Psalms 4:5,8

The bible promises that all disasters, financial crisis and plagues will not come near the righteous unless by His special directive. Therefore, having understood God’s continual protection over the righteous, we no longer need to worry about anything in life. But to give thanks for all things and to fully invest our energy into the work of the kingdom.
