How can spiritual direction help me?
A number of benefits are available from participating in spiritual direction. Spiritual direction can provide support, problem-solving skills, and enhanced coping strategies many of life's normal challenges. Many people also find that pastors/ministers can be a tremendous asset to managing personal growth, interpersonal relationships, family concerns, marriage issues, and the hassles of daily life. Spiritual direction can provide a fresh perspective on a difficult problem or point you in the direction of your God-inspired solutions that are already resident within. The benefits you obtain from pastoral care and spiritual direction depend on how well you use the process and put into practice what you learn. As you invite God into the process and incorporate the tools and techniques provided, life giving changes are inevitable.
