For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
--Isaiah 9:6
One of the names given to Jesus is “Wonderful Counselor”… and it reveals His desire to counsel and comfort you in your time of need.
Maybe today, your life is a mess and you feel like you’re hanging by a thread. Or maybe you are facing big decisions or changes that you need wisdom to handle.
Don’t fall into the trap of trying to alleviate the pressure you are feeling by turning to things like drugs, false religions, or even to other people in the hope that they can fix your problem. Ultimately, none of these things will meet your deepest needs.
Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, can give you the clarity, comfort, and direction you need right now. He can restore your peace in the midst of brokenness and confusion.
Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28).
The secret is simply to come to Him… and then you will discover the peace, wisdom, direction, and love that you need. He is the Wonderful Counselor!
TURN TO THE WONDERFUL COUNSELOR FIRST
AND YOU WILL FIND THE COMFORT AND DIRECTION YOU NEED.

Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out
Dear Friend,
Do the words rested... peaceful... and refreshed describe you today? Or do the words stressed... rushed... and pressured better describe your way of life?
If you're like most Christians, you'd probably have to admit those last three words more accurately describe your life most of the time!
The good news is that it doesn't have to be this way... even when your life is one big pressure-cooker. And in my new book, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out, I'll show you why.
Based on the principles from Paul's letter to the Philippians and Psalm 23, Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out will help you find true peace and rest in a world that is anything but peaceful and restful. It's the perfect "pause" button you need!
So please request your copy of Pause: Resting in God Instead of Stressing Out when you give online today! --Jack Graham
