<![CDATA[Life crises can affect a person's mental, emotional, and spiritual condition, requiring a recovery process that addresses the whole person. This study aims to analyze the restoration of the soul in light of Psalm 23 through the integration of Christian spirituality and psychological perspectives and to examine its relevance to pastoral counseling. This study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach. Data were obtained from the Bible, particularly Psalm 23, books, scholarly journals in theology and psychology, and relevant pastoral counseling literature. The analysis was conducted by identifying key themes in Psalm 23, such as God as the Shepherd, protection, provision, guidance, peace, and security, and then relating them to psychological principles for coping with crises.

Prayer, meditation, strengthening of faith, social support, and psychological assistance are relevant to supporting mental and emotional well-being. This study recommends developing an integrative pastoral counseling approach based on Psalm 23.]]>
