Counseling Helps

Loneliness

Promise of His presence:

Hebrews 13:5-6 

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?”

In His presence is joy:

Psalms 16:11 

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

Victory

Is in Christ

Philippians 4:13

I can do everything through him who gives me strength.

Your inner resource

1 John 4:4 

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

Seek God’s help

1 Corinthians 10:13 

No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

Decorating

 “Do good to me, your servant, so I can live, so I can obey your word.”  Psalm 119:17

God loves to decorate. God has to decorate. Let Him live long enough in a heart and that heart will begin to change. Portraits of hurt will be replaced by landscapes of grace. Walls of anger will be demolished and shaky foundations restored. God can no more leave a life unchanged than a mother can leave her child’s tear untouched.
