When life feels heavy, it can be hard to know where to begin. WayMaker Ministries – NOLA offers Christ-centered pastoral counseling for individuals and couples, with compassionate conversation, prayerful support, and practical tools.

Our mission is to care for the whole person—mind, soul, and body. You can come with questions, sorrow, or a situation you have not figured out yet.

Anxiety can make an ordinary sensation feel like an emergency.
Your heart races. Your stomach tightens. Your thoughts speed up. The experience is real—and it can be deeply distressing. But distress is not always danger.
When you know you are safe, try this:
1. Pause instead of immediately trying to make the feeling disappear.
2. Notice what is happening in your body and thoughts.
3. Stay long enough to let the wave rise and begin to fall.
Each time you do, you strengthen your “I can handle this” muscle.
And you do not do it alone. God’s grace is available in the middle of the discomfort, not only after it passes.
Save this for the next anxious moment, or share it with someone who needs a gentle reminder today.

A local grandmother recently stepped in to raise her grandchildren after a horrific family tragedy.

She is now carrying both deep grief and the responsibility of creating a safe, stable home for these little ones.

One of the most important pieces of that stability for her is access to ongoing pastoral counseling. We at WayMaker Ministries - NOLA are honored to walk alongside her during this time.

We’re raising funds to help cover the cost of ongoing counseling sessions for the grandmother because of her demonstrated financial need.

If you feel led to give, your support will go directly toward helping her process grief, build resilience being back in the role of primary caregiver, and move toward healing.

A gift of $50 will cover the cost of one session for her. Even one session can make a meaningful difference.

Thank you for being part of the care that surrounds this family.
