The Lord is my Counselor,

I shall not try to solve things on my own.

He encourages me to trust Him.

He teaches me to listen in quietness & stillness to His voice,

He calms my anxious heart.

He guides me down the paths that are best for me,

Even when I think I know better.

When I walk through the valley of frustration, worry,

Fear and overwhelmingness,

He reminds me that He never sleeps or takes holidays off.

I need not fear being alone, for He is always with me.

His wisdom and advice, they comfort me.

He knows everything that is going on in my life, but

It remains confidential with Him.

Blessings overflow through my sessions with Him.

Surely my future is secure as I dwell in the house of

The Lord, leaving my problems at His feet,

and follow His advice that is free of charge,

all the days of my life!
