3 Reasons To Consider Christian Counselor - House of Mercy UK

When problems start mounting and make your life tough, a good counselor is just what you need. They’re of great help in dealing with the rough phase of your life.

But not all counselors are the same. We’re not talking about the skill or experience here, but they’re different in terms of beliefs, views, and perspectives about life and the world. It is important that your religious beliefs and worldviews match with those of your counselor’s.

A non-Christian and a Christian electrician will more or less do the job the same way. But in counseling, it’s always advised to have a Christian counselor who can guide you according to religious scriptures and biblical teachings.

Here’s why you must consider Christian counseling to deal with your problems.

God has revealed His wisdom and the truth of His word to those selected individuals who honor him. Whatever happens in this world happens by the will of God. Therefore, it makes sense to directly go to someone who can guide us according to the wisdom of God.

A non-Christian counselor will only advise us based on their experience. They don’t consider God’s perspective in any given situation and work on guesses. Therefore their guesses can sometimes be wrong, putting you in an even worse situation.

It’s best to go to trusted Godly counselors who acknowledge the teachings of God and give us the best solution to our problems that have minimal chances of failure.

Having a loving, caring, and responsible confidant when you’re vulnerable and not in your best state is of utmost importance.

An individual who has given his life to Jesus and has set out of his way will not just be mindful of hurting but will mother you with love and care and will do all that they can to help you out as that’s what Jesus did.

Therefore, following his path, a Christian counselor will help you in the best way possible as he’s serving the child of God.

Problems that are beyond human wisdom are why we need counselors in most cases. Sometimes even counselors are unable to find solutions even after exhausting all their knowledge. That’s when a Christian counselor has the upper hand as they know there’s always hope and can ask God for help.

This does not mean that God doesn’t speak to non-Christian counselors, but it’s just that a Christian counselor is more open to listening and following His voice and can easily understand the signs.
