Would you like to feel more peace in your life? Despite everything reported about a world full of uncertainty, there is a spiritual universe that is peaceful, intelligently governed, stable, and filled with love, safety, and security. This universe is not a far-off place to be discovered after death, but is here and now and discernible through spiritual sense. As Christ Jesus taught, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 10:7). God’s universe of Truth and Love is found in spiritual consciousness, and is ever present for us to see, know, and experience. 

When I was a young man looking for more peace in my life, I planned a day off from all worldly commitments to commune solely with God. Although managing a large farming operation with my dad, I made strict rules for myself to not get distracted that day by any demands and was committed to making the sacrifices necessary for this devoted prayer to happen.

When the day came, I studied the Bible and the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy, for ideas about who I am and where I was headed in my life. I researched words such as peace, calm, stillness, equanimity, faith, and trust. I sought out spiritual truths to dissolve fears dominating my attention at the time and replace them with a clearer understanding of God’s infinite love, in which everything works together for good.
