If You’re Wondering What to Do About Something

Are you at your wit’s end? Do you need someone to talk to who can help you sort out your concerns, problems, and worries? God understands. Our Heavenly Father is the original Counselor, and Isaiah 9:6 says this about Jesus as well. Not only is He our Counselor, but He is also a “Wonderful Counselor.”

Our Heavenly Father and Jesus are Wonderful Counselors because they are excellent listeners and know us inside and out. We can talk to them, knowing they hear us. When we quiet ourselves in their presence, we can hear them too.

Talk to your Wonderful Counselor, then follow His counsel. I record what God prompts me to do in my journal, Prayers of My Heart. It helps me follow through because I can reread what I’ve recorded that He put on my heart. What do God’s prompts sound like? His prompt might be, “Open your Bible and read a Psalm.” It might be, “Stop procrastinating and tackle what is before you.” His prompt might be, “Instead of wondering about someone, call them.” Or, “Do _____ today.” A wise Christian will both talk things out with their Wonderful Counselor and follow how the Wonderful Counselor prompts them. Are we wise? 

Lord, You are the WONDERFUL COUNSELOR. Increase our sensitivity to Your Voice. Help us take seriously Your counsel and follow through on what You lead us to do.
