Prayer in counseling

The role of Prayer in Counseling flows from the fact that the Heavenly Father completely loves and genuinely cares for every single person on this earth. It is a counseling approach based in Biblical Christian faith, activated and applied through prayers prayed aloud by the counselor with all clients. It is a process, not a method and It relies upon Jesus Christ, who is the Truth that sets us free. It depends upon prayer to connect us with the power of Jesus to affect change. It depends upon the Holy Spirit’s anointing, wisdom, and power to lead and guide into all truth. The Holy Spirit is the primary counselor and the ultimate comforter. It focuses on God’s law and God’s grace, which allows true guilt to work, bringing us to true repentance and forgiveness. It cooperates with the biblical truths of redemption, justification, sanctification, and transformation. It depends completely on the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, through His resurrection, and His supremacy, seated at the right hand of God the Father. It seeks to establish a Christ-centered identity for all sons and daughters of the heavenly Father. It enables people to recognize the root causes of their present problems and then, through prayer, to appropriate the power of the Gospel for effective healing at the heart level.
