This study's purpose is to consider the biblical perspective of spiritual resilience- i.e., the ability to recover from spiritual suffering-and to outline its components. To this end, the study examines the definitions and characteristics of spiritual distress that have already been identified and then proposed new components of spiritual resilience as the ability to recover from spiritual distress. The study found that spiritual suffering lies at the heart of all suffering, often including a sense of disconnection from God, meaninglessness. Spiritual resilience can be defined as the capacity required to alleviate spiritual suffering, an essential capacity that must be cultivated by saints existing in a corrupt world of depravity. Spiritual resilience is based on two forms of knowledge: knowledge of God and an understanding of the suffering from a biblical perspective. Knowledge of God includes the image of God in the Bible, God who knows our suffering, and God who comforts us on the last day. Understanding pain from a biblical point of view involves understanding pain through the doctrines of creation, depravity, and redemption, discovering the meaning of pain as a process of sanctification, and perceiving suffering as the process of full recovery to come. Based on these two forms of underlying knowledge, the capacity of spiritual resilience made up of intellectual, emotional, and willful internal competencies and the capacity of the faith community, external competency. Finally, this study recommends a specific application of the concept of spiritual resilience in Christian education and counseling.
