spiritual comfort

Peace for spirit

Spiritual comfort is solace or peace derived from religious faith, connection to something larger than oneself, or practices like prayer and meditation.

It addresses existential distress rather than physical or material needs: She found spiritual comfort in her faith after losing her husband.

The phrase often appears in contexts of grief, illness, or crisis.
