Wonderful Counselor | Beau Doré - Audio

Isaiah 9:6 “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder, and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” (NIV) Hebrews 4:15-16 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (NIV) 1.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. (NIV) 1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (NIV) 4.
