Getting the Most from Ask-Jesus

Be Honest
Don't sugarcoat your struggles. God already knows your heart. The more honest you are, the more relevant the guidance.

Provide Context
"I'm anxious" gets a general answer. "I'm anxious about losing my job because my boss just laid off my coworker" gets specific, applicable wisdom.

Ask Follow-Ups
If the first answer doesn't quite hit the mark, ask again with more detail. Think of it as a conversation, not a one-time search.

Read the Citations
The verses referenced aren't just decoration—they're the foundation of each answer. Take time to read them fully and let Scripture speak directly to you.

Reflect and Pray
Answers are meant to be starting points for prayer and reflection, not replacements for your relationship with God. Take what you learn and bring it before the Lord.

What Ask-Jesus Isn't

Let's be clear about what this tool is and isn't:

It's Not a Pastor
While answers are pastoral in tone, this isn't a substitute for spiritual mentorship, counseling, or your local church community.

It's Not Magic
The responses are generated using artificial intelligence that searches Scripture and provides biblically-grounded guidance. It's a tool, not divine revelation.

It's Not Always Perfect
Like any reference tool, it has limitations. For deep theological questions or personal crises, please seek human counsel from pastors, counselors, or trusted spiritual mentors.

Tips for Better Questions

Instead of: "Help"
Try: "I'm overwhelmed with work stress and snapping at my family. How do I find peace?"

Instead of: "Money"
Try: "Is it wrong to want financial stability? I feel guilty for caring about money."

Instead of: "What about homosexuality?"
Try: "What does Scripture teach about same-sex relationships? I'm trying to understand the biblical perspective."

Specificity leads to more helpful, applicable answers.

When to Seek Human Help

If you're experiencing:

• Thoughts of self-harm or suicide
• Abuse or domestic violence
• Severe mental health struggles
• Crisis situations

Please reach out to professional counselors, crisis hotlines, or emergency services. Ask-Jesus can offer biblical comfort, but human intervention may be critical for your safety and wellbeing.
