It is also a reminder for therapists that we must minister to the spirit to facilitate good mental health. If spiritual development is not considered by client or therapist, there is little healing and no fundamental and lasting change. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNo matter our outward reflections, no matter our life circumstances, we are all made in the image of all mighty God. We have a prestigious heritage and birthright that grants us access to the kingdom of God--right here on Earth. God has not bestowed upon any of us a disturbed mind, discord within our families or disharmony within the world. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGod has granted us peace, and there is a spiritual prescription for peace: faith in and obedience to God.
