COUNSELING
In life, there may be times when we may feel a sense of weariness, worry, depression, anxiety, and stress, and we could use some encouragement and help. County Line Church cares about you and what you are going through. We want you to know that we respect you for seeking help. Below we provide a list of Christian-based area counseling agencies and books. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please contact Care Pastor Steve Schlatter or Family Connections Pastor Dane Kruse. If you need counseling, fill out this request form below.

BOOKS FOR KIDS
We encourage you to journal. Journaling is a helpful way to process our thoughts and feelings. Here are a few journaling prompts to get you started:
What was my mood like today? If I had to create a pie chart of my thoughts today what would take up the largest piece? Are you worried about anything right now? Write out all the details. What do you like about yourself? What do you dislike? Describe something that you are looking forward to? Create a list of things you are thankful for. What things are you avoiding dealing with? What do you need right now?
Make a list of the people in your life who genuinely support you and you can genuinely trust.
Another way to journal is to write letters to God. Share with God how you are feeling, what you need, and what you are hoping for. Remember that God loves you and loves to hear from you. We are encouraged to cast our cares on God for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
