Your Question:
How do I deal with the shame of being a medical bankrupt?
Answer:
As I sit here, reflecting on the shame of being a medical bankrupt, I'm reminded of the struggles we've faced as a family. My son Joshua had a serious accident a few years ago, and the medical bills were overwhelming. We did everything we could to pay them off, but it seemed like no matter how much we cut back, we just couldn't keep up. It was a difficult time, but we learned to lean on each other and on our faith. In that moment, I realized that failure and shame are not the same thing. Shame points the finger at us, making us feel like we've let ourselves or others down. But failure is often a result of circumstances beyond our control. When we're faced with a crisis, it's easy to get caught up in feelings of shame and inadequacy. But as a pastor, I've learned that it's in those moments that we need to turn to God, not just for solutions, but for guidance and comfort. When I faced my own medical crisis, I remember feeling like there was no way out. But as I turned to God, I began to see that He was not just a solution to my problems, but a source of strength and peace. It's not about self-saving or trying to earn our way out of trouble. It's about recognizing our limitations and turning to the One who is greater than our circumstances. So, if you're facing a medical bankruptcy or any other kind of crisis, I urge you to take the initiative to turn to God. Make a decision to seek His guidance and comfort, and then take the first step towards healing and restoration.
