Hello, some of my favorite scriptures related to counseling are Proverbs 12:25, 16:24, 23:7; Matthew 6:25–33, 22:37; Job 2:11; and 2 Corinthians 1:3. These passages emphasize encouragement (“Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad” – Proverbs 12:25), the healing potential of gentle words, the impact of our thoughts on identity, Christlike presence through suffering, and the comfort we receive from God so we can comfort others.
Together, these scriptures guide me to embody unconditional presence, empathic silence, and genuine care in sessions. They remind me of the importance of witnessing and honoring each client’s unique story, creating a safe environment for psychological integration and spiritual healing.
I strive to help clients process their experiences in light of God’s truth—whether by exploring their meaning-making, affirming their identity in Christ, or offering scriptural encouragement during difficult times.
