How do people change? (ask from a counsellor's point of view) If you think that change comes to people by means of a supernatural event you are placing change beyond the reach of human capabilities. In that case nobody would ever be able to change - and so nobody would be responsible for the changes and the spiritual growth in his or her life.
It becomes God's responsibility and it only remains for the advisor to see to it that prayers are said for the person. Alternatively the person learns to pray to God for change in his or her spiritual life.

SOMEONE'S LIFE CHANGES WHEN HIS OR HER PERMANENT INTERACTIONAL STRUCTURES (attitudes, values and self-image) CHANGE. FOR THIS THE MOST IMPORTANT STIMULATION IS CHANGE IN HIS OR HER PATTERNS OF THOUGHT. (Rom. 12:1-2) The Bible.

"One reason why many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, panic, addictions, and guilt is that we failed to complete certain developmental tasks when we were growing up. Completing those tasks now will bring changes that heal us and enable us to grow into the likeness of the One who created us. The first of these tasks is bonding to other people as well as to God."
Dr. Henry Cloud ~Changes that heal ~

Are you in a funk, or is it something more?

We do not always respond well to stresses in our lives. These responses come easily to us, but they are not helpful to our personal growth.
