General Guidance

Before seeking any form of counselling you might find it useful to read the following article written by John Piper on the issue of biblical counselling

1. Remember that Christians are not immune from the fallen nature of humankind and the sin that results. Christians may not be of the world, but they remain firmly in the world. However, Christ has overcome the world.

2. Pray honestly to God-with your anger and confusion and questions. Psalm 13:1-2; Job 3:25-26. He has promised never to leave or forsake us.

3. The negative consequences of sexual abuse require the transforming power of the Word of God. Remember that man shall not live by bread alone........and that Christ will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed upon Him...

4. You will feel angry and anger itself is not a bad thing unless it becomes destructive.

5. Christ tells us to forgive. To forgive an abuser is impossible without the power of God. Pray for that power. Romans 12: 17-21.

God speaks to us through his Word. Please read my brief reflections on God's Word in relation to sexual abuse: Reflections on God's Word
