Our prayer for you today -

That you find your safe people—those you can trust with your pain, your truth, and your healing. May you discover wisdom for caring for yourself and strength to support your loved ones in a world that can often feel uncertain and heavy.

May you listen with compassion, offer encouragement when it’s needed, and bring comfort simply by being present. May you shine light in dark places, build bridges instead of walls, and carry hope where it feels lost.

Whatever you’re going through—it’s okay. You’re not broken or “crazy.” We live in a broken world, and sometimes it weighs on us deeply.

At Christian Counseling Collective, we’re here to create safe, welcoming spaces marked by love and respect—where every story matters, every voice is heard, and no one has to carry their burdens alone. Our role is to help you process what feels too heavy, find grounding, and rediscover peace.

You can do hard things. And when you need extra support, we’re here to walk alongside you. 💙

Love & blessings,
Christian Counseling Collective
“A place where healing matters.” - Tina Engel
