All Shall Be Well: Soul Wellness in a Weary World
I stumbled into a retreat (that I was leading, no less) after hearing the deep pain of someone I dearly love. For days I found myself giving God the rundown of the situation, as though God didn’t already know—pleading for time-sensitive help: What are we going to do about this? How will You make all things well for them? And then circling back again, reminding God of the urgency, whispering, The clock is ticking… 😭
I carried that prayer into retreat, raw and unresolved. And there, God spoke, “All will be well.
What practices help you return to wellness when your soul feels unwell? (Come on retreat with Scott and Clare OCTOBER 3-4 online or in person!)
We live in a time when the world feels deeply unwell.
Division cuts through communities. Exhaustion lingers in our bodies. Grief and anxiety shadow our homes, our churches, our relationships.
And yet—into such a time—spiritual direction dares to ask:
- Do you want to be well?
- Do you long to bring wellness to others?
- Do you believe God’s Spirit still moves, even here?
Sometimes desire blazes. Other times it flickers low.
Yet even when our prayers grow faint, the soul whispers: I want to want again.
That whisper is holy. That whisper is where healing begins.
We are not the first to walk through times of unwellness.
- Julian of Norwichlived through plague, war, and upheaval. From her anchorhold she proclaimed: “All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of thing shall be well.” Her words still ring with radical trust in Love’s endurance.
- The Shunammite womanknew both abundance and devastating loss. Carrying grief, she still declared: “It is well.” Her faith was not denial—it was shalom, wholeness, resilience. (2 Kings 4:33)
- Howard Thurman, writing out of the deep weariness of racial injustice and human suffering, pointed us toward aliveness as resistance. He said:
“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
Together, these voices remind us: tending to the soul is not escape. It is courage. It is resilience. It is the work that keeps love alive when despair tries to claim the final word.
Their witness reaches across centuries to remind us: tending to the soul is not escape. It is courage. It is the work that keeps love alive when despair tries to claim the final word.
The Invitation and Our Commitment
At Crossroads Soul Resources, we walk in a lineage of courage and compassion utilizing The Enneagram of Personality Harmony Model. We meet online and in person journeying closely together across cultures, callings, and continents. Some come seeking certification in the Enneagram Harmony Model. Others join simply for the wellness of their own souls. One student reflected: “I came for certification and finished with resources for my own soul’s health that will last me a lifetime.”
Whether you come to deepen your own practice or to be certified to guide others, this journey is about learning to listen deeply, companion gently, and discover that no soul is well alone.
Our shared conviction is this:
- No soul is well alone.
- My wellness is our wellness.
- All shall be well.
We hold sacred space for what is broken to be named, for longing and metadesire to be honored, and for God’s Spirit to restore dignity, connection, and wholeness.
