You mentioned in your article why people are refered to psychatrists
instead of pastors.  I think it is because pastors don't know the
answers, they have no ideahow to address the issues that affect people.
Until recently, when ever I spoke with a pastor I felt condemnation,
judgement, and hearda list of you ought and you should haves instead of
encouragement or Biblical counsel.
Life is filled with hurts, these hurts and fears are not something that
is to big for our God,  we may not see the Red sea disapear, but just as
miraculous are the relieving of fears, the freeing knowledge of
unconditional love, and the power to forgive.
