Common questions
About Immanuel Prayer
What is Immanuel Prayer?
Immanuel Prayer guides you toward an experiential meeting with Jesus through “visualization” and memory. Visualization is an intervention used in psychotherapy to promote positive feelings and overcome mental health symptoms. Here it’s used to meet with, hear from, and experience Jesus — forming a deeper relational connection and healing from past hurts. Jesus is the leader and voice of healing; the counselor is simply a guide.
Is Immanuel Prayer Biblical?
The detailed steps aren’t found explicitly in scripture — just like many church liturgies and spiritual practices. But it is based on four scriptural truths: that God is always with us (“Immanuel” means “God with us”); that Father, Son, and Spirit work toward our healing — physically, emotionally, and relationally; that God listens and communicates in ways we can understand; and that we’re invited to remember Him and practice gratitude to stay relationally connected.
Is Immanuel Prayer scientific?
The methods are the same basic interventions used in evidence-based psychotherapy and trauma treatment — visualization, CBT, solution-focused approaches, mindfulness, and resourcing.
Is it covered by insurance?
Insurance covers psychotherapy when there is a mental health diagnosis. If you have symptoms such as anxiety or depression, your sessions will most likely be covered.
