Godly Counsel

I am grateful for godly counsel in my life. Recently, I experienced a difficult situation at work. I spent a morning crying all the way in to work (about a one-hour commute). I called my mom, and her first instinct was to pray with me while on the phone. When things started to get emotional again. She said, "Let's pray again." She prayed for me and quoted Scripture and reminded me of God's attributes. I had that same experience with a good friend of mine and with my husband during that particular work situation. I am thankful for the godly counsel in my life. They could have advised me in ways that would have escalated my emotions and the situation, but they continued to point me toward God and His sovereignty in the situation. I am grateful for their reactions. May it be so in my own life.
