The purpose of this paper is to show that prayer plays a great role in counseling. To answer why we need to practice prayer in counseling, it is suggested; 22 There is a common ground between prayer and counseling, that is, spiritual root. 22 prayer has many psychological benefits such as reframing experience, feeling loved, feeling forgiven, feeling more at peace, feeling more connected and less isolated. Prayer is regarded as being important to psychological well–being, so it is important to use prayer in counseling. However, the practice of prayer might create potential for denial or distortion of the client’s truth. Therefore, it is important that prayer is not used to exhort the client to forgive too quickly, or to pass over their grief, without confronting the feelings. This paper introduces, in particular, inner healing prayer and repetition of short prayer. Inner healing prayer is regarded as essential to the integration of the spiritual and psychological, providing a holistic approach to therapy. This prayer is particularly potent in dealing with past traumas. When the client does repetition of short prayer, it gives energy to overcome negative emotions such as anxiety, fear, anger, grief, and depression. It gives not only psychological healing, but also gives power to change life itself.
