For therapeutic purposes;

For spiritual support and fellowship;

For ministering to others.

To share my heart;

To unburden my weary mind;

To sing God's praises, come rain or shine;

To track my spirit's growth.

To lighten another's load;

To share another's grief;

To show God's goodness in times of trial;

To encourage and to edify.

To be a listening ear;

To pray for others' needs;

To help light up the path of righteousness,

With rays of abiding hope.
