We at "FRIENDS" recognize the enormous toll that cancer takes on your spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being.  This is designed to provide you with spiritual support, first, as a self-assessment inventory, to help you determine and evaluate how you perceive yourself from a spiritual perspective and, second, as a resource for reflection with readings from the Bible for meditation and inspiration.

Spiritual Self-Assessment
Reflect for several moments on each spiritual issue as you presently understand them. Then, as you perceive each spiritual issue in the context of your life, try to identify where you might be on the continuum.  You might find it helpful to write these down, as you see them below, or print this page and mark a spot along the dotted line.

One or more markings placed to the left side of the continuum may suggest that you are in a place in your spiritual journey where spiritual support may be beneficial.
