Read Romans 8:26-39<\/p>\n
This passage, in part, reads, \u201c…the Spirit helps us in our weakness…the Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance to God\u2019s will…God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose…Christ Jesus, who died\u2014more than that, who was raised to life\u2014is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us…\u201d<\/p>\n
In one of the most precious passages in all of Scripture, Paul offers a living portrait of grace in the life of all Christians, pointing to the power and commitment of the entire Trinity to complete the work of redemption in all who believe. God\u2019s abundant grace is revealed in that He \u201chelps\u201d, \u201cintercedes\u201d, \u201cworks\u201d, \u201cdied\u201d, and continues to \u201cintercede\u201d for all who believe. As counselors, the process of change and transformation does not reside in what we speak or the amount of time we spend listening to those we counsel. On the contrary, the process of change comes from the very hand of God alone. Very often, it is of utmost value to highlight this reality to those receiving our counsel. Ultimate and eternal change is not realized when emotional symptoms dissipate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
