Feature Song: “How to Heal” by Sue Riley and Glen Roethel
God loves me and sees me well.
The place for healing to happen is right here, right where I am.
Right now, in this very moment, is my healing time.
Now is the time for me to go within and discover that I already know how it feels to be whole, how to heal.
