This post has blessed me exceedingly today, thank you for taking the time to write it.
Nichole,
You are so welcome! I’m glad you were blessed!
I have linked this post on my site so many more can read it. And also so I can read it when I forget. Thanks again!
Glad I found this online! I wanted to used this as a resource to hand out in my Biblical counseling class tomorrow. Pastor Kreg Bryan sent me this article several years ago when I was going through what the Purtians would have called, “A Dark Night of the Soul.” PB suggested I read this as it would be a “brillant flashlight.” This certainly helped me taste and see that the Lord is good and faithful. Blessings! (Ps. 27:4)
Rosalynn!
I’m glad you were encouraged! How do you know Pastor Bryan? Where do you teach Biblical Counseling?
