Praise His Name: COUNSELOR<\/strong>
\nFor unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.\u00a0 <\/em>Isaiah 9:6 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:<\/strong>
\nWe have a Wonderful Counselor given to us to help us understand our problems and work through the solutions. He is available 24 hours a day. We need not worry about the fees because He has paid the price for us to come to Him. He will represent us, teach us and always set us free. Today, lets pause to praise Him for being our personal Counselor!
\n“A very present help in trouble”<\/em> Psalm 46:1 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:<\/strong>
\nThank You, God, that You are a very present help in time of trouble.
\nI am so grateful You are always there to help me 24-7.
\nI want to pause to praise You today for being my Counselor, One who will help me understand my problems and then help me work through them, so I can reach the best solution and be set free to be all You have created me to be! I praise You God, as my Counselor, One who will guide me and support me all through this life.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n
