Of course you should pray for your clients as a Christian counselor." He made a comment about Spiritual warfare, however, that made me a little hesitant on how far you should go in praying for your clients. As Christians we believe that there is a Spiritual warfare going on for the souls of men. If I were to pray for a client in a very specific way, I could very well bring about a concentrated battle over their soul. I believe that as Christian counselors, we should pray for the session and direction in what to say before each session, but even as I am writing this, I am struggling on whether or not we should secretively pray for a non-believing client in a specific way. The topic of secretive prayer for clients is going to have to be one that I pray about as I am in school and then see where God is leading me.jharpehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18433870758491650655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4327598978675535878.post-37638829594290975412011-02-06T20:30:28.003-08:002011-02-06T20:30:28.003-08:00I whole-heartedly agree with you on this. In Matt....I whole-heartedly agree with you on this. In Matt. 5:44 we are instructed to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Surely, our clients deserve at least as much prayer as our "enemies". Also, the focus in class seemed to revolve around what specifically was prayed for on a client's behalf. I feel certain there is no danger that God is going to grant a request to me that is detrimental and/or not a part of His will for another person as my knowledge and grasp of what others need in this world pale in comparison to His divine wisdom.Angela L.
