Spiritual Direction
what do you desire? What do you Want God to Do for You?
Do you desire a deeper more fulfilling life with God? Have you ever wondered if it’s really possible to pray without ceasing or how to live in peace and harmony with God, others and within yourself? Are the responsibilities of your family, job, or ministry feeling overwhelming, exhausting or unfulfilling? Would like to explore your doubts and questions about God? Maybe you want to live aware of how your whole life and wholeself are connected and empowered by God when Scripture says, "In Him we live and move and have our being." Acts 17:28
Jesus said, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me – watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” Matthew 11:28-30
Whether you are struggling to hear the voice of God; wrestling with questions about faith; feeling stuck on your spiritual journey; seeking direction or focus in God's plan for your life or wanting to notice and savor more of God's goodness and grace, Spiritual Direction may be for you.
Spiritual direction, also known as Spiritual Accompaniment, centers around conversation, in a safe and trusting relationship, where you can notice what is happening deeper in your body and soul, share whatever is on your heart, listen to the invitations of God for your life and respond with your authentic whole self. Through these conversations with a spiritual companion in an atmosphere of trust and confidentiality you can develop awareness as to the presence, invitations and movement of God in your everyday life. You can find rest and renewal for your body and soul. A spiritual companion helps you notice, savor and respond to God as you take a long, loving look at what is real and true in your life. As you share your dreams, struggles, questions, triumphs, fears, and hopes and listen together, the Holy Spirit opens doors to deeper peace, freedom and joy.
Spiritual Accompaniment is always aimed at noticing and nurturing your relationship with the Triune God and encouraging movement towards holiness and wholeness. Sessions can be individual or in small groups, online or in person. Contact Hope for further information.
