Priscilla was impacted by pastoral counseling. She had the distinct pleasure of being counseled by a female pastor who was particularly patient, loving and helpful. This person displayed godly qualities that far outweigh a religion. It was more because the person had a personal relationship with God and it showed. The person demonstrated the fruits of the Holy Spirit in more ways than one.
Priscilla took to going to her counselor more than she should have because of the close bond that was developing between them. The counselor, of course, did not mind helping anyone including Priscilla. She took her job as God's assignment and she upholds the principles and the integrity of God.
She was glad to know how much impact she had on Priscilla's recovery because her case was particularly sensitive and she treated it that way without becoming judgmental. With God's strength, both Priscilla and her counselor were able to fight against the attacks that the enemy would bring as Priscilla came closer to her recovery.
