God loves you. God has a wonderful plan for you, a plan to prosper you and never to harm you.
We hear that (from Jer 29:11) often. We even pray and claim this promise often.
But if God’s plan is to prosper us, why are we still miserable? Why are we still struggling? Why do we still feel crappy and pointless at times?
We take time to carefully plan things because we believe that our personal notion of order is what’s best for us. We plan things by the minute to make everything as organized and as predictable as possible so as to minimize the element of surprise.

On 3 April 2020, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Long announced the activation of The Circuit Breaker Measures as an adaptive response to the COVID-19 outbreak. It is the elevation of the nation’s coping measures in curbing further transmissions of COVID-19 which is planned to run from 7 April 2020 to 4 May 2020.
How do we plan to handle it here at Grace Counselling Centre?
Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great;
thou art clothed with honour and majesty.
Psalms 104:1
Anxious people feel exposed to danger and punishment. Love alone is not enough to overcome this. For someone willing to fight for you and protect you doesn’t necessarily mean that they can. We need a protector who is not just willing but someone who is also capable of doing so.
When it comes to assertion, people today have no problem standing up for their physical boundaries (especially during these days of social distancing).
However, more and more people are coming for Christian Counselling to deal with issues that are connected to feeling down and angry, stressed and fatigued for no apparent reason.
Wisdom is seeing things through God’s eyes.
In times of hardships and trials, people would project their humanity to God and think that God is enjoying man’s sufferings. That shows zero wisdom at all. That shows zero knowledge about God and without knowledge, how can there be faith?
Faith comes from hearing they say yet a lot of people come to me and complain that “yes I know that already, but why don’t I experience it? Why don’t I feel it?”
Have you ever wondered why the thought of success is seemingly an alien and distant concept in our minds? It seems that we are prone to thinking that we will never reach our goals and dreams; that they are just what they are: DREAMS.
“Are You for us, or for our enemies?” Joshua asked The Captain of God’s Army. This is the question most commonly thrown at Christian Counsellors. In this modern age where society attempts more than ever to get rid of God (or to paint Him in a bad light), this question becomes more relevant and more and more tempting to ask.
Jacob tearing his clothes in grief of hearing about his son’s death.
Authority was given to them over a fourth of the earth,
to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by the wild beasts of the earth.
Revelations 6:8
Before the Wuhan Virus updates, The Lord gave me the nudge to launch our Online Counselling services. In my little mind, I thought that The Lord wanted Grace Counselling Centre to finally reach out to the world (I have been pestering The Lord about this). Little did I know that it is to open up Christian Counselling resources to aid in this time of pestilence.
