Your Question:
How will I afford treatment?
Answer:
The question of how to afford treatment. As a pastor, I've seen many people struggle with this very issue. It's a challenge that can be overwhelming, especially when you're already dealing with the emotional and spiritual burdens of depression. But I want to encourage you to seek help, even if it means exploring non-medical options. As the passage suggests, secular non-medical help, encouragement, and direction have been helpful for many people, and I believe that biblical help, encouragement, and direction can be even more effective. In our church, we've seen people find healing and hope through prayer, Bible study, and community support. We've also seen people find ways to alleviate their symptoms through regular exercise, healthy eating, and getting enough sleep. These steps may not be a cure-all, but they can certainly help to alleviate some of the pain and discomfort of depression. And as the passage suggests, it's often helpful to introduce one treatment at a time, so that you can figure out what's working and what's not. As for affording treatment, I would encourage you to explore options that are available to you, such as insurance or sliding scale fees. But I would also encourage you to seek help from your church or community, where you may find people who are willing to offer support and encouragement. And of course, don't forget to pray and ask God to show you His will for your situation. As the passage suggests, "Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!" is a powerful prayer that can bring hope and healing in the midst of struggle.
