C. Therefore this work demands that we:

Pray for the people that we are looking after - Romans 1:9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, thatwithout ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers.

Share time with them - Acts 19:8And he went into the synagogue and spoke boldly for three months, reasoning andpersuading concerning the things of the kingdom of God.

Show interest in their family - Acts 16:31-34And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you andyour household. Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who werein his house. And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes.And immediately he and all his family were baptized. Now when he had broughtthem into his house, he set food before them; and he rejoiced, having believed in Godwith all his household.

Feel a burden for their needs and problems - Acts 17: 16Now while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was provoked within himwhen he saw that the city was given over to idols.

Be always available for them - Acts 19:22-23So he sent into Macedonia two of those who ministered to him, Timothy andErastus, but he himself stayed in Asia for a time. And about that time there arose agreat commotion about the Way.

Meet their needs, as far as possible -Acts 11 :29Then the disciples, each according to his ability, determined to send relief to thebrethren dwelling in Judea.

To not include Himin Counseling, and to not depend on Him, is an act of self-sufficiency. We mustremember the work of the Holy Spirit, and relate it to Counseling:

A. He teaches us and reminds us of all things - John 14:26But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name. He will teachyou all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

This aspect is very important,because it allows us to know the will of God for each case, and not go astraydoctrinally.

B. Filled with and led by the Holy Spirit - Isaiah 11:2.The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,the Spirit of counsel and might, Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.

The Lord is the one who imparts wisdomFor the Lord gives wisdom. From His mouth come knowledge and understanding,He stores up sound wisdom for the upright, He is a shield to those who walk up-rightly (Prov. 2:6-7)For I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be ableto contradict or resist (Luke 21:15)
