Christian Psychology as a Challenge

could enlighten a counselling session beyond
scientific means. However, I learned to trust
God regardless of opposition, disappointments
and painful personal events.

I further suffered deep personal losses, which
challenged my trust in God’s goodness. Through
this I have learned to trust in God’s grace even
more and to focus on His glory rather than my
own success. It is more important to glorify Him
regardless of my circumstances or the condition
of my soul than to succeed in a worldly system.
