Prayer is the act of entering the presence of God. It is the place where pride is abandoned, hope is lifted and supplication is made. Prayer is the place of admitting our need, of adopting humility and claiming dependence upon God. Prayer is the needful practice of the Christian. Prayer is the exercise of faith and hope. Prayer is the privilege of touching the heart of the Father through His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." James 4:8
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
Father, in Your mercy, hear our prayers.

Prayer and Share Counseling
Before you request a "Prayer and Share" with one of our Ministry Staff, there are a few things you need to understand about our approach:
- Your Minister is a Christian and is committed to the Bible as the inspired Word of God (2 Peter 1:20, 21). Their training is primarily in the Bible and the consistent application of its truths to your daily life (2 Timothy 3:16, 17). Therefore, our "Prayer and Share" time is based on the Bible as the final guide and authority for our lives.
- The goal of our "Prayer and Share" time is to teach you what the Bible says regarding your need. It is our conviction a clear understanding of God's counsel as revealed through the Bible and a commitment on your part to follow God's counsel is what will lead to a significant change in your life for good (Psalm 119:9, 18, 105, 130).
- We do not want to create a dependency relationship between you and the counselor. Rather, we want to introduce you to the person of Jesus Christ and to help you develop a relationship with Him as your personal counselor. Your dependency needs to be on God, through Christ, and not on people (Proverbs 29:25; Ecclesiastes 12:13). Therefore, there is a limit to the number of times a Minister will meet with you regarding any one problem.
- We believe the basic need of every person is a solid, consistently maintained, personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. We also believe this is the basis of most of our unresolved conflicts with other people. Unless there is a right relationship between a person and God, he/she will be continually struggling with a need to fill a deep inner void, which can only be filled by Christ's indwelling presence. The futile attempt to meet this inner need in some manner other than that designed by God often leads to abusive and self-destructive behaviors. Therefore, filling this spiritual vacuum in one's life is critical to effective healing and change.
- This relationship with God comes when an individual depends on Jesus Christ as the One who died on the cross in his/her place and bore the guilt and wrath due to all because of sins we have committed against God (John 3:16-21; Romans 3:23; 6:23). Surrendering one's life to Christ in itself may not immediately resolve all your conflicts and problems, but it is a necessary step in putting your life in order and making God's life-changing power available and operative in your life. If you are uncertain about your relationship to Jesus Christ, your Minister will be glad to speak to you about it. Simply indicate your interest at your next session. We want to help you develop skills which will help you better manage your life and your personal relationships. Again, we believe the Bible provides the necessary guidelines for developing and maintaining healthy, fulfilling personal relationships. If you are unwilling to seriously consider and apply what God says through the words of the Bible, we would encourage you to seek help elsewhere.
- We are not here to replace God in your life or to give medical advice. However, we can point out scriptural problems, offer biblical solutions, and pray with you for these truths to be worked out in your day-to-day life.
- We preserve confidentiality except in cases where criminal law codes or church discipline procedures countermand it.
