Biblical Basis for Christian Counseling

            
             Is this a punishment? What wrong did I do?.
             Sounds sad, what else do you think the reason may be other than a punishment for your mistake? Do you think God will punish us for every mistake we do? In the bible God allowed tough situations for good people also, Job was an upright man and he shunned evil (Job: 1:1). But he also lost everything. What do you think about that? After the situation Job was blessed double fold, so do u think God is faithful to do that? Very well then, we cannot find reasons for everything. So it's better to stay in mystery rather find reasons which we cannot find.
             Is God aware of my situation? Does God have eyes? (an Indian phrase).
             Why do you think God is not aware of your situation? What else do you think God will be doing than looking at you? Do you think he loves you? Isaiah 49:16 says " I have engraved you on the palm of my hands" what do you think about that? In the bible we see God looked upon the bereaved, what do you think about Hagar? She named God ". thou are the God who seeth " do you think god will look upon us when we are in trouble like Hagar? If he loves us, he really cares and is surely aware of our situation.
             Why Should I Trust God Anymore?.
             Has god been good to you previously? Who do you think is the better person to trust than God? Psalms 118:8 says "It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans." What do you think about that? Do you think someone is strong enough to protect you? (Yes/ God) Is God faithful? 2 Tim: 2: 13 ".if we are faithless, he will remain faithful for he cannot disown him." If we trust God he will never disown us, for he is faithful.
             Spiritual Examples.
             The best example for a situation like this is Job. Righteous and upright man-Great wealth and blessed- Satan comes and claims Job's faithfulness is because of his blessings- everything taken away-all his 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 500 yokes of oxen, 500 donkeys, and all of his children died- crying out to the lord- Job's wife- his friends- God restores everything in double fold.
