Between 45 minutes and 2 hours and 15 minutes. It can be shorter or longer depending on how many issues we need to pray through in order to get freedom from the main issue. But rarely is the issue that the client is coming in for the main issue. So, expect your session to be about 1.5 hours.

An average session will look something like this: Meet and Greet Prayer of Dedication Prayer of Thanksgiving Praying Through It (1 hr 10 Min): Part I: Discovering your Old Story Part II: Discovering Your New Story Debrief, Sharing Time, and Next Steps (10 Minutes) All throughout this process, one member of the team will be guiding the session by directing prayer questions to the Lord, asking for your feedback, and then using that feedback to form the next prayer question. The other members will silently intercede throughout the time. The goal is to allow the Lord to lead the direction of our prayer time together, placing our experience and gifts in the background. We will pause, at times, to reflect on the story that we are hearing, and we may share a bit with you what we are sensing from the Lord at the end of our session for confirmation and encouragement, but the majority of our time will be spent praying through things, rather than in conversation Often, by the end of our session the person receiving prayer says that they feel “lighter” and “tired, but a good tired.” At the very least, you can expect a couple of significant foundational breakthroughs that will serve as cracks for light to shine into the dark places of your life. Often once we have prayed through things together, clients relate to their new story far more than to their old. They have a renewed understanding of their true self and a new way to view and approach life that often redefines how they view their past, the way they live in the present, as well as how they are looking to their future.

One benefit of our approach is that we do not need to know any personal details in order to pray through things. So, you can rest assured that nothing will be shared that is private or embarrassing – because we won’t even know those details. Even when you hear a testimony on our website, conferences, or podcast, we change and personal details and leave out anything that is not edifying to make sure that everyone feels protected and comfortable with what we are sharing.

Often, clients come to us without any previous professsional counseling whatsoever and are able to very quickly experience breakthrough. Others come when they feel as though their counseling sessions have plateaued in their effectiveness and, there too, we are often able to get to underlying beliefs that have proven to be illusive or not yet discovered through counseling. One prayer client said that after two one-hour sessions, “Finally, everything makes sense that my counselor has been trying to tell me for the last 7 years, because Jesus is now in His proper place!” Nonetheless, we are still see great value in the fruit we have seen coming from time spent in counseling sessions. Often, we find that those who have had professional counseling before our sessions come with a greater understanding of the relationship between core memories, key events, and beliefs in relation to fleshly behaviors and thought patterns. This understanding will often give them a leg up, as it streamlines the first segment of the first prayer counseling session. And continued professional counseling following our prayer session will certainly benefit you as you build upon the progress made in your prayer counseling session(s) with us.

Pray Through It Prayer Counseling is designed to help you make significant headway in just 1-3 sessions. Often in just one 1.5 hour session, you will: 1) have a much clearer understanding of how relationships and life events shaped what you believe about yourself, God, and others; 2) have made headway in bringing your thoughts and feelings into agreement; and even 3) have exchanged lies, disempowering emotions, and fleshly life strategies for biblical truth, empowering emotions, and Spirit-led life strategies. Pray Through It is more than a Prayer Counseling Ministry. Our hope is that our sessions model how to integrate listening and inner-healing prayer practices into your day-to-day prayer life, so that you can increasingly process thoughts, emotions, and life-events through prayer on your own. Beyond this, we are here to connect you within a praying Spirit-led community where, together, you will support one another and process life through prayer.
