Christian Counselors

There is wisdom in a multitude of counselors the Bible says. "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed." Proverbs 15:22. People who have tunnel vision, those who are locked into one way of thinking, are likely to miss the right road because they have closed their minds to any new options. We need the help of those who can enlarge our vision and broaden our perspective. Seek the advice of a professional and those who have a wealth of experience.

Using Christian Career Counseling

Make use of the Christian career counseling that may be available at your church. Church Christian career counselors can be an exceptional source of wisdom. They not only base their guidance on the Bible but are often less expensive than a counselor found in the phone book.

Choosing Christian Premarital Counseling

If you are a Christian couple pondering marriage it is also wise to start a Christian premarital counseling series with a certified Christian counselor. Through these series of meetings you will discover how well matched you may or may not be. It is far better to learn more about each other before you head to the altar rather than after you have been married for several years. God gave us marriage as a gift. Man and woman were created perfect for each other. "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." Genesis 2:24. Find out if you are ready for this level of commitment before promising, in a public ceremony, yourselves to each other.

Christian Marriage Counselors

And if you do find that after several years of marriage you have hit a road bump, again seek counsel from professionally trained Christian marriage counselors. In marriage there are numerous responsibilities, outside pressures and many distractions that can cause a divide between you and your mate. As a Christian you should seek the advice of another Christian. Do not look to self help books or watch "Oprah" or "Dr. Phil" on TV and expect those "advisers" will solve everything for you. Go directly to the Lord in prayer and in His word for answers. Christian marriage counselors that are trained and certified will give you Biblically sound advice.

Do your homework before visiting any type of Christian counseling center or individual counselor. There are many counselors listed in the yellow pages and online. Call your pastor, who, by the way, may himself be a trained and certified Christian counselor. If he is not, ask for his advice on where to seek counseling. Listen to personal testimonies from friends, family members or colleagues who may have recently received some Christian counseling.Remember Proverbs 15:22: "Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed."

Finances are often the root of many marriage problems. Paying the fees for a counseling service may seem out of reach. Talk to the counselor about this. Some offer an easy to handle payment plan. Your insurance may provide coverage for counseling. Do not let money stand in the way of getting the much needed help you need.
