Prayer

At Christ in Kids @ Cornerstone, we believe that prayer is not merely a supplement to counseling—it is foundational. Scripture reminds us that apart from God, our efforts are ultimately fruitless (John 15:5). While counseling, mental health interventions, and supportive relationships are valuable tools, lasting help comes through the work of the Holy Spirit (2 Corinthians 3:17).

No human being was ever meant to have all of the answers. Counselors, parents, teachers, pastors, and mental health professionals all have limitations in their knowledge and ability. Even the most highly trained clinicians and the most effective evidence-based mental health practices cannot produce the deep, lasting change that only God can accomplish. We value sound clinical approaches and evidence-based interventions, but we recognize that techniques alone are insufficient. Without seeking God’s wisdom, guidance, and power through prayer, even our best efforts fall short of addressing the deepest needs of the human heart.

As specialists in serving children, families, young adults and adolescents, we encourage the vital role of prayer. Children today face unprecedented challenges emotionally, socially, and spiritually. While no parent can shield a child from every hardship, prayer invites God’s protection, wisdom, and presence into their lives. God has provided prayer for guiding and supporting children and families through life’s struggles. 

For this reason, prayer is woven into everything that we do. We partner with you not only through counseling and mental health support, but also by trusting that God is the ultimate source of healing, growth, wisdom, and hope. We believe that true flourishing occurs when sound clinical care is paired with prayer (Romans 1:20).
