Wonderful Counsellor,
Mighty God,

'The therapeutic relationship'
Yep. you read that right. The number one most important thing - is apparently having a good, trusting relationship with the counsellor. **

And... I imagine it works the same way in the spiritual realm as well with
the Wonderful Counsellor!
