I wrote yesterday about this new book and the struggle I began to experience as I was reading it. Well, that struggle did not improve as I continued to attempt reading it yesterday. What I didn’t do yesterday that I had done on Monday was let my sponsor know of the struggle. So, guess what my devotional message for today was in the 90-day devotional book I’m using? “Confess to the one you trust” when times of struggle/temptation hit. The confession brings the temptation/tempter into the Light of God where it must flee. The trusted one will also be praying for you. I’ve already confessed this morning of yesterday’s struggle. I know this book is very relevant or I would not be attacked the way this has hit. Thus, I’m going to persevere with the help of God Almighty!

The author of this book speaks to the need for a counselor to use common sense when counseling. This looks like taking what one has learned and specifically adapting it for the client’s need/s. She says that too often we simply do what the technique says to do and wonder why it wasn’t effective. She eludes to the need for the counselor to listen to the Holy Spirit’s nudges (definition for common sense) to adjust any tool to the client and to also only use the tool/s which the Holy Spirit inspires within you.

I can sure see this and I need/want to learn what this author has written. It may be a test for me to read through it, but I now know it is the right test for God is using it to better anchor me.
