Thank You, Father, that __________ is a good listener to the confessions of his/her counselees. Help him/her to comprehend the unfolding of those past hurts that influence reactions to current situations.
Lord, ________ will not judge by what he/she sees with his/her eyes or decide by what he/she hears with his/her ears. He/she will judge the needy and give decisions with justice. Righteousness will be his/her belt, and faithfulness the sash around his/her waist. He/she will be clothed with fairness and with truth.
Thank You that ________ is a promoter of peace and is filled with joy. Grant Your counselor, out of the rich treasury of Your glory, to be strengthened and reinforced with mighty power in the inner man by the [Holy] Spirit [Himself indwelling his/her innermost being and personality].
You will not leave ________ without support as he/she gives his/her time and concern, helping to complete the forgiveness process.
