Your Question:
Can I really afford to pay for medication?
Answer:
As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with the decision of whether or not to take medication. My advice would be to carefully consider your symptoms and whether or not the medication is truly helping. If you're not feeling better, it's worth having a conversation with your physician to discuss a change. This is especially true if you're experiencing depression or other mental health concerns. I think it's also worth considering the potential long-term effects of medication. Once you start taking it, it can be difficult to stop, and it's hard to know what's truly helping if you're introducing multiple treatments at the same time. My wife, Susan, and I have always tried to approach health and wellness from a holistic perspective, taking into account not just physical symptoms but also emotional and spiritual well-being. Ultimately, the decision to take medication is a personal one, and it's essential to approach it with wisdom and discernment. As the Bible says, "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases" (Psalm 103:2-3). While medication can be a helpful tool, it's essential to remember that true healing comes from God, and we should be careful not to rely too heavily on physical solutions.
