This photo of Lake Hamilton was taken near Hot Springs Arkansas. Settlement began in this area when people gathered to enjoy the healing properties of the thermal springs. This day with God, we gather to enjoy the healing power of grace that fills our soul and makes us whole.

Because of Jesus, we receive grace that brings healing for our soul now and forever. Jesus explains His relationship with the Father in John 16:25-33. The disciples have a relationship with the Father too because they have loved Jesus and believed (v, 27). Jesus came from the Father and entered into the world (v. 28).

Jesus is the key to peace with endless possibilities with Him in our lives. There is harmony because we are one in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God is with us because we believe in Jesus, and step by step follow the prompting of the Spirit. There is goodwill between people, there is calmness under stress, we can conquer worry, and there is peace forever!

Worry affects our health in a bad way but there is no need for worry because God has every good thing in store for us. In this world there will be trouble but we can take heart because there is comfort. We can lay our burdens down at the foot of the Cross, access God’s power through prayer, and follow the Way from instructions found in the Word of God.

This day, we are filled with hope, with joy, and with peace because of Jesus who gives access to the Holy Spirit. Sometimes we get worn out, anxious, and exhausted. Then we seek You Father God for renewal of our soul. You care for us, and our souls are healed. There is less worry, less anger … but more good things like peace in our soul and joy in our heart. We have access to the Holy Spirit to guide us for the rest of the day and for every tomorrow. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
