Spiritual Readings
God’s Peace
Without question, body, soul and spirit are linked. The Lord our God made us that way. He alone can give us the gift of spiritual peace to sooth a troubled mind by replacing worry with trust, fear with faith.
Out of 24 hours in one day, He gives us time to rest our tried body. So, let give the Lord your battles taking place in your mind, and let your heart rest in His peace. Commit yourself to the Lord, the healer and restorer of life.
