In some instances, the hope is sure because God is going to sovereignly bring it to pass. In other cases, it is God's promise that He will respond to our obedience. Biblical counselors have been trained to utilize the Bible in a counseling context by applying practical and hopeful biblical principles to real life situations and problems. Christians who find they are struggling with various problems need an understanding of the awesome resources available in biblical solutions that offer real hope and practical help.
