Stratton Christian Counseling

The Psalms remind us that honesty belongs in prayer.
You don't have to clean up your emotions before talking to God.
Bring Him your real feelings about where you are at and what you are experiencing.

Look at this example from Psalm 13:

How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever?
How long will you hide your face from me?
How long must I take counsel in my soul
and have sorrow in my heart all the day?
How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?

Consider and answer me, O LORD my God;
light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,”
lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.

But I have trusted in your steadfast love;
my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
I will sing to the LORD,
because he has dealt bountifully with me.

God often works in ordinary moments.

A conversation.
A scripture.
A prayer.
A counseling session.
A quiet morning.
An interaction.

Notice God's presence in those moments.
Do not underestimate small moments of grace.
He is with you.
