The Wall | Emotionally Healthy Spirituality | Week 4
Emotionally healthy spirituality requires that you go through the pain of the Wall—or, as the ancients called it, “the dark night of the soul.” Just as a physical wall stops us from moving ahead, God sometimes stops us in our spiritual journey through a spiritual Wall in order to radically transform our character. Often, we are brought to the Wall by circumstances and crises beyond our control. Regardless of how we get there, every follower of Jesus at some point will confront the Wall. Failure to understand and surrender to God’s working in us at the Wall often results in great long-term pain, ongoing immaturity, and confusion. Receiving the gift of God in the Wall, however, transforms our lives forever.
